So I just came across a YouTube video at the beginning of the week and have been looking at videos and how this works. I'm not expecting a get rich quick or anything but more I'm a computer hobbyist and it seemed like a fun project that could turn a small profit but is it worth it at this point? Seems like there are changes coming here soon to regulate mining? Seems to be some people say go for it and others say it's not even close to being worth it. Also the best I could do right now would be a 2 x rx 580 setup with a Psu and MB that could support 2 more if I wanted to down the line. I'm completely new to this so sorry if this is obvious or noobish. Thanks. Any advice and opinions welcome.

Hey all I am new

So I recently started mining bitcoin at home on my laptop. I am using GUIMiner and I am part of the Slush Pool. I'm mining at a rate of around 25-30 Mhashes/s. Is there a way to increase my profits?

How do I go about mining BTC with using the full potential of my PC?

So right now im using GUIMiner but i dont feel as if it is using the full potential of my PC to mine for BTC. I have a pretty decent rig (GTX 1070, 16GB Ram, AMD FX 8370). So which program would i use to get the get the best results mining?

With PPS, is mining 1 GH/s/day going to payout at a pool the same as 2 GH/day/12 hrs?

In other words, double the speed in half the time. I’m curious if the payout will the identical on a PPS pool.

Small scale mining setup

Hi everyone, in a few weeks i'm going to college and i'll be living in a dorm room where i'll be paying a fixed amount of money for electricity. I tought i could make use of this situation by using this free electricity to mine some BTC. My budget is around 500 USD. What kind of setup would you recommend and how fast would I be able to break even? I would like to hide the miner in a computer case to 'hide' it if someone would come inspect my room or something. I would also need to be mining over wifi, is this a problem?

edit: i'm paying a grotesque amount for a ridiculously small room so if it's only fair to get my money's worth.

Question about mining

Should I buy an Antminer S9? I understand that it will probably take a year before the device is paid off but what if I could mine without the worry of cost of electricity?

Let me know your thoughts. I'd like to purchase one and start mining again. Or would it just be better to save my money and just buy bitcoins instead? Thanks so much in advance for your assistance.

Just procured 36 Antminer L3+'s, about to jump in head first, help!

I'm looking for others who have blindly jumped into crazy home mining operations. Do you have pictures of your setup? Anything you wish you would have known at the start?

So far, my plan is to use my detached second garage which has plenty of open space, it's own AC unit and openable windows. Each miner uses 800W, so I'll be calling my electrician and looking into whether it's more practical to install 36 new 120v outlets or 18 240v outlets (AP3++ PSU's can run 2 units off of one 240v outlet). The house is american 120v with 240v available for the dryer. I plan on connecting the hot air output to dryer exhaust hoses ported up into the attic, or an open window, whichever makes more sense.

Am I crazy? Or is this achievable with enough effort. Anything I'm missing?

Bitcoin Core 0.15.0 performance is impressive

I've started a node today with Bitcoin Core 0.14.2 to use it as my wallet.

I've been wanting to run Core as my wallet for a long time, but I never got the chance to use it until now.

Part of that is because my machine is a bit old (Pentium(R) Dual-Core CPU E5500 @ 2.80GHz, 2 GB of RAM), I run Arch Linux on this 10 years old machine.

I was also a bit short on disk space, but I had an SSD sitting around unused and I'm using it now for my datadir.

Anyway, I started with 0.14.2 and I noticed the initial sync was going a bit slow, until someone on #bitcoin told me to upgrade to 0.15.0-rc3 and WOW.

What a difference it made with performance! I noticed the initial sync is going way faster now, it's also better with resource utilization, CPU, RAM and I/O decreased dramatically to the point I can browse with Firefox while the sync is going, and I didn't had to upgrade the RAM or anything like that. Awesome!

This is something you don't see every day, and like GNU/Linux, I love that Bitcoin Core works and scales between high-end computers or low-end/modest computers like mine. :)

Thank you so much Core devs, I truly appreciate your work and you guys are amazing.

Serious question about Bitcoin vs. Altcoin movement, and other technology opportunities.

Alright so as a newcomer into crypto where do these altcoins get their value? Do they get their value from piggybacking off of Bitcoin's value?The main reason behind Bitcoin's value (correct me if I'm wrong) is the power behind the blockchain. However many of these altoincs do not have serious enough hashrate, so where is their value derived from?This has been confusing for me and friends of mine who cannot decide whether or not to stay in BTC, or to dip into other altcoins as investment opportunities. via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/2x5ZQiR

How does 'luck' affect solo miners?

Hey Guys,

When I go on coinwarz to calculate the profitability of some mining setup, it always give an approximate time to solo mine a block (i.e., "Days to generate one block mining solo: 19.88 Day(s) (can vary greatly depending on your luck)".

What's luck have to do with it?

Hypothetically, let's say I have enough hash power to solo mine a block approximately every 20 days. For the sake of argument, let's say that one block is worth more than I would make mining in a pool for an entire month. Wouldn't it be more profitable to solo mine?

I can understand some variance (maybe some blocks take 30 days, maybe some only take 15), but how crucial is this "luck" element that can't be accounted for? Could it screw me over?

If I could solo mine a block in approximately 20 days, what are the chances that I go 60, 120, 365 days not mining a single block?

The country that adds bitcoin to their reserves sooner will be the richer country tomorrow.

Imagine the growth against all other assets without depending on a central bank to manipulate its over riding fiat. Small countries have a tremendous opportunity to help its citizens.

Assess my mining technical breakdown

Hello all, just did some basic research recently on S9 and S7 mining and wanted to see if I was on the right track in terms of cost/profit breakdown, tech requirements, bitcoin and transaction payout

Mainly, is the BTC per month too high or low per 100 units (and 50 and 25) for both the block mining and the transaction fee? (still confused on how transaction fees work and how many to expect per month). Let me know if this is completely wrong, and if so, what needs to be changed. This does not factor in energy consumption or other costs. Any help or insight would be much appreciated!

Antminer S9 - 100 units

~3K per unit (w/ 1600W power supply = ~$400)

@100 = 340K

11-13 Th/s

.36 BTC per month

100 units → 432 BTC per year @ 4,500 = 1.9M

Transaction Fees: .146 BTC Median Transaction Value = 63 BTC = 283K

Revenue: 2.183M Cumulative

50 units = 972K 25 units = 683K

Antminer S7 - 100 units

~$600 per unit (w/ 1600W power supply = ~$400)

@100 = 100K

4.73 Th/s

.1645 BTC per month per unit

100 units → 164 BTC per year @ 4,500 = 738K

Transaction Fees: .073 BTC Median Transaction Value = 7.3 BTC = 33K

$845K Cumulative

½ = 440K

¼ = 320K

How important is scale in bitcoin mining?

I have a great facility to set up a bitcoin mining operation with 0.5 MW available. The facility is located in the southern most part of Argentina in a tax fee zone. The weather is really cold, the facility is prepared for mining and the electricity cost is not so competitive but it's not bad either. Assuming I can get 350 ant-miners a S9 to consume my 0.5 MW. Will this be enough scale to set up a competitive mining operation? Or should I look for a place with at least 5MW available so I can have at least 3500 miners working? Besides getting a better deal for the hardware, what other aspects of scale are relevant to bitcoin mining?

Jesus Christ, people. If you can't show some class, stay the hell out of the other sub.

Seriously, guys. You're only making us look bad and causing more unnecessary vitriol in the crypto community.Remember why Bitcoin exists, which is to disrupt a corrupt global financial system. Every time we fight and point fingers at each other, we lose ground. Divide and conquer is the name of the game. Don't fall for it. via /r/Bitcoin http://bit.ly/2wRBBWm
