His room had a whole bench of server hardware he just used as his daily computing setup, at server room noise and heat levels. He and his girlfriend sitting in there smoking cigs and playing Quake and hanging out on IRC. I'm pretty sure he never got into Bitcoin, and they're suburbanites with a kid now, but he certainly had the noise and heat tolerance for it.

I think most people who bought used R9 290s after the mining crash in 2014 had good experiences, I know I did as I was able to use it for a couple years and then resell it for the same price I paid for it recently.

The cards are pretty good about regulating themselves when they hit thermal thresholds. Barring packing them in so tight that they're cooking adjacent hardware or some custom firmware to override the throttling which aren't too probable its probably alright. I would roll the dice on it.

Alright guys I'm posting this because im pretty god drat proud, but feel free to laugh. I violated the poo poo out of rule #1 on day 0 so I figured well, go all in! I present to you the computer made out of garbage    a few fitment issues lol (nothing a hacksaw didnt solve) (all prices including shipping, tax, etc) $10 - Craigslist Case (Coolermaster 915R ??? never heard of this weird rear end thing) $28 - Ebay Intel "i5" 4570T $20 - Ebay Unknown pulled B85 Acer Motherboard $22 - Amazon new PSU EVGA something $0 - 4 GB drawer ram $6 - Store bought lovely zalman cooler Took me a week but $86 to put together an actual computer that works to plug a GPU into is unreal to me. The 1070 I have in it is being returned to best buy so I can put my current (cheaper) 1080 into it as I have a 1080ti on the way for my regular computer I do have a small issue with this CPU, Nicehash doesn't seem to find it to mine with. It seems to meet all the requirements I could find (specifically AES instruction set and "not old"). I've seen it generally not recommend to mine with the CPU but this is a 35W TDP CPU and so far CPU mining has gained me about 10% on top. Even my OC'd 6600k uses 30 more watts over not using it which has totally been worth it so I'd like to CPU mine if possible. edit: (oh yeah, windows 10 evaluation and an old ssd I pulled from my main computer I never use). Its also dead silent at 100% load, puts my main computer to shame 1gnoirents fucked around with this message at 04:11 on Jul 1, 2017 |

So, you built a machine for mining. It's a dumb machine, but building a machine for mining is dumb so you didn't put much skin in the game. Wise idea. But, you're returning your 1070 to Best Buy (where presumably you didn't pay more than MSRP for it) so you can put in a 1080, which is worse for mining than the 1070. Why not keep the 1070 and sell the 1080? True bitfuckers would want that fast RAM.

I dont know, the 1080 has consistently made more money so far but I haven't looked into it. I figured the 1080 was not favorable because it cost more not because it mined worse. Very occasionally the 1070 might get close to the 1080 but typically the 1080 has been doing ~20% better. Also I paid $400 flat for it and it will have more inherent resale value because of a serial based warranty and the fact its just a 1080 I just looked it up on the nicehash calculator and the 1080 shows slightly better. The figures are much closer to each other than I've personally seen (though my comparisons haven't been apples to apples with different CPU's) the 1080 still "wins" in my case since I actually got it for less money to start with.

Someone at my work has a bunch of bitcoins with an average purchase price of like 600 USD, still going long. In case you missed that, he bought bitcoin with money and is currently in the money so to speak.

Godspeed you huge retard Honestly if you can get it to mine without being a huge fire hazard, more power to you Speaking of fire hazards are you sure that cheapo PSU is fine for it? Other than that, good luck Btw I read today that they're definitely halving the rewards for miners in ETH, going it goes up in value to make up for it, and then going to PoS

Is it normal to wait for days for a deposit from nicehash to show on coinbase? I have my first deposit from the 27th showing as completed and verified in the transaction history but my balance remains 0, which goes against coinbase's self-help that any verified deposits are available quickly after verification.

At those rates that 30 cents a day is costing me 5 cents in power. The issue im seeing is that the cpu is working to some moderate degree anyway. Certainly a standalone idle cpu to cpu mining max on say a 125 watt cpu would be dumb but as of now its firmly worth doing in terms of roi in my case

TDP stands for thermal design power and is an estimate of the maximum waste heat you can expect to have to deal with when running normal CPU-bound applications. This is less than the amount of power that your system is pulling from the wall when you CPU mine.

This is less than the amount of power that your system is pulling from the wall when you CPU mine. That is where im getting my rough figures. For example from the wall my aystem draws 300-310 watts when GPU mining. If i add CPU mining it goes up to 330 watts. The CPU seems to be engaged when GPU mining only just not running at full power, but that difference isnt much. I think the idea that CPU mining isnt worth it comes from comparing idle power draw to mining power draw which isnt realistic (at this scale)
