cgminer + raspberry pi reportedly works well. rpi uses less power than a laptop.

nice to know - I will check it that out!!!!

I was mining with my main PC that has two GTX 460's...  not really a great miner but got it to be consistent at ~145 Mh with GUIminer onto deepbit just to learn

The modminer will run a lot cooler and i get my GPUs back   Cheesy

Yay!  It's working now!  Cheesy

Also, Tom has been great so far.  My replacement piece will be shipped out in the morning so I should get it early this upcoming week.  Hope you get yours soon too!




good for you..  what system you running yours in?  windows/linux?   
 I might run a really old amd motherboard/cpu i have lying around with linux to keep power down if possible

I have a few options of unused things around here

Im cursed..  btc goes back to ~128 and I go to buy the modminer but my online wallet is saying "Lock wait timeout exceeded; try restarting transaction"

lol  thanks blockchain


yeah i know, should have my own wallet at home, blah blah, but it was easier to put money into this and move it around the exchanges.. until now of course

(sorry Tom)  Tongue

This.. but if you have the cash to throw at tommy, which in turn could help refund some bASIC people.. more power to you..

Just curious, how are you guys planning on breaking even on these? At 840 MH/s it would be 3.2 months to break even, if BTC went back up to around $200 and there was no difficulty increase and excluding power (which admittedly isn't much). Is there a different currency to mine or something? Not trolling, just curious - whatever you're doing is obviously working for you guys, so keep it up.

I would love to get a few of these, but I can't take the risk of 3+ month break even with how volatile everything is at the moment.

Oh - they are doing it for the sake of the network. Honest.

My reasoning is just that it sounds fun - it's my first experience in mining.  I don't expect to get rich doing it, obviously, but it's just a fun new hobby.

Its speculative, we all know the price cant stay the same for 6 hours let alone 6 months

atleast it puts me over 1Gh with my lame GPU miner and better off than the BFL wait forever crew

Yup, you can only pay on BTC. He is trying to introduce other payment methods.
