I used to love Btcbuy.info, but they stopped selling GCs.

Looks pretty suspect.

Is this another "preorder" site?

I saw a preorder button.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this but you can go to Bitspend.net and they will buy you stuff off of newegg or amazon if you give them bitcoin. Bitcoinstore is great though so only use bitspend if bitcoinstore doesn't have an item or something.

Thanks Smiley
Amazon has lots of GPUs Smiley

I just discovered this website. Another place selling tons of stuff for Bitcoins.

http://www.bitmit.net

I bought a 6870 from a seller on Bitmit a couple of months ago...been running like a champ ever since.  It's good for about 310 MH/s (sha256) or 300 kH/s (scrypt).  The only transaction where I had trouble was for some RAM for my mining rig; after the seller refused to ship for two weeks, I fired off a request to Bitmit and got my coin back.

I see.

I think that bitminter only merge mines NMC

But

I think bitparking may do what you are looking for though, you could try and get to grips with a mining client to get you ready for whichever hardware you end up using. It could only help you.

Alright, good idea.

You could try https://bitminter.com/ to get you started.

It is a pool that uses its own mining software, which is extremely easy to use and the stats are pretty easy to read also.

Whenever I mine, I am going to mine Devcoin. And it is merge mined with Bitcoin Smiley

Id steer clear of any preorder site after the whole asic debaccle.

Thats great to hear, you should bounce some ideas off your friends regarding a set-up. Always good to have some real world sources of tech info.

If you are still interested in my GPU's then thats no problem at all, i'll be happy to try and explain anything you might need to know. Reading up in the mining section or just various places in this forum is a good place to start if you are looking for information though, its all here at your fingertips Smiley



I just don't know what to read really. When I read about mining, I don't really understand what's going on. But I've never had a mining software or anything open in front of me, so I have no reference.

And I sent a link to one of them about the Bitcoinstore to see if they could find a better desktop for the setup.

A PSU is a "power supply unit"

None of those you linked to are suited for mining.

Below is a link to the marketplace, your best bet is to try and buy a complete rig off someone here in the forum if you dont understand all of the components required in putting together a miner just yet

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=75.0

BTW, I've got 2 friends that are better at this stuff than me.
They can help me if I can get the parts.

I see.

These are just the GPU's ( when I say cards I refer to graphics cards )

You would need a computer that has the available PCIE slots free on the motherboard and a PSU that can provide enough power to the cards.

The BTC/LTC rate has most likely changed since I purchased them, I did end up paying in BTC however.

If you are interested in buying the 3 cards from me then I would ask for around BTC4

3 cards, I'm not sure what that means? Is that all I need to mine (plus a computer & CGminer I mean)
