Oh, rig. You used to be so neat and elegant, now you've turned in to one of those cable monsters we always laughed about...



I guess it's time to rearrange a bit, maybe put some of the uglier stuff on their own shelf.

congratulations - hope your electricity bill for those 4 months is below that amount

Yes, where are you on the profit margin? o.O

I'm not sure, I share a house with 3 other people and we usually just split the bill. I discussed it with a housemate today, and apparently we prepay electricity - some strange UK thing - so it's hard to monitor precisely.

Just had to say congratulations.

Thank you! Smiley

How much are you mining with this rig on average right now?

Right now, about 0.1 BTC per day.

Just had to say congratulations. I loved the feeling over a year ago and it's just as addicting now. My wife hates the "more coin" attitude. She still has a thing for fiat, so to speak..

I started "hobby mining" in April this year, and then started to build a proper rig. Now I have a 4 GH/s ASIC rig, and today I received a payment that completed a full Bitcoin for the first time.

Specs on your setup please Smiley

Sure thing:

ZOTAC D2550 motherboard
Old sucky 2.5" HD from my old laptop (get this: I tried using an SSD but it kept shutting down after a few days of mining)
4 Gb RAM

3 x Anker Uspeed USB 3.0 10-Port Hub
12 x USB Erupters - 335 MH/s each

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium, and BFGMiner connected to the BTC Guild mining pool.

I'm getting 4 GH/s, which means about 0.04 BTC per day at the current difficulty. This week I'm expecting to get another 18 erupters, which will kick me up to 10 GH/s so that will mean 0.1 BTC per day on average (until difficulty changes again).
