Hi,

I want to build a mining rig, but i do not know how to connect the multiple motherboards.

Thanks.
by the molex, connect all the mobo by the molex  Grin

Each motherboard must have HDD with OS?
woah woah woah! WAIT, this is all wrong, you don't connect motherboards don't listen to the other guy.
well if they can't see the smiley and still want to connect every mobo by the molex, they can...

woah woah woah! WAIT, this is all wrong, you don't connect motherboards don't listen to the other guy. If you are doing a GPU you rig (mining off graphic cards) you have a motherboard (just one) a processor, ram and either a hard drive or a flash drive running the os (I prefer a hard drive and windows). You connect many graphic cards via powered risers   and they hang on your setup like this as you can see there is one motherboard (probably this motherboard here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157471&cm_re=h81_probtc-_-13-157-471-_-Product it is made for this)

and to mine cryptonote coins? just cpu + cpu + cpu?


which type of coin needs which HW?
If you're including Graphic cards in the HW term then pretty much all of them or if you mean just asics then Bitcoin and Scrypt (mostly litecoin) which use different types of miners.

Hi

I am almost new to coins. Now i am thinking about mining.

if i would use a "Yellowjacket - 2Gh+ Bitcoin USB Stick Miner 2 Gh - 2,2 Gh".

Can i only use this stick for bitcoin mining? or is there a possibility to mine other coins? if yes: which ons?

i do not want to earn money. just as a amusement.

btw: i just have Mac (OS X) hardware.

thank you very much.
you can use it for any sha256 coin.
also for bitcoin mining 2GH/s isn't really a lot
