bitcoin / litecoin mining

Only 50 watts power draw... :o

Those "10 high-profile bloggers" have pretty much just got their hands on tiny cash printing machines in the near-term should they choose to go down that path!!!
 
Haha oh yes I realise it's nothing special - just hilarious how its being referred to as digital gold after the last few days debates in another thread.

The link above states that people will consider it to be worth more as its a "bar" and not a "coin". :lol:

I'll be buggered if I know who keeps sending me bitcoins? Every couple days someone sends about 0.15 bitcoins to one of my addresses.

I just received another one then. So far I've received over 4 BTC over the past few months. I was thinking it may have been advertising on one of my sites, but I checked and none of them use that address.

Oh well I could have worse problems.

Wow...I wish that would happen to me!!! :lol:
 
Haha, that's awesome.

Searched on the block chain for the sending address and seeing if they're sending others anywhere?
 
Back to mining bitcoin as the litecoin difficulty has sky rocketed overnight. Learning more about mining, I was having trouble with a configuration so I replaced one of the cards with a model I thought would work better.

two things.

gpu-z can help you monitor the temperature of your VRM's (which can be important and was why my replacement was de-clocking its self) and on the gigabyte 7950 revision 1 of the card is no where near as good as revision 2!

I'm going to try flashing it with an older bios but currently it is sucking down more power on its own than a 7870 and a 7770 togeather (which is just wrong!)
 
yeah slipage, that's the same version I used. power usage for the one card dropped 70w that is insane! I don't know what they did with that new bios version but it was very silly by the look of it. still running fine at 1ghz... just using less power now.
 
I'm back mining Bitcoin now.

Uses a lot less power and generates less heat which is handy too.

The extra 6% profitability from Litecoin isn't worth the extra power costs.

What pool/software do you use for BTC? Are you able to lower the GPU intensity to drop the power/heat?

I'm mining LTC/CHN/MIN in intervals, and thrown a few CPU's at YACoin for a laugh.
 
BTCOxygen.com at the moment as a pool.

For any SHA coin I don't run anything fancy, just a bit of a higher clock speed on the GPU and lower memory clocks... (1050/900).

Saves power :D

Intensity 7 too
 
To the litecoin miners out there, to max mining profitability is it worth looking at http://coinchoose.com/litecoin.php and mining the coins with the highest profitability . I have not ventured much past bitcoin and litecoin but for a extra 80% profit I might start mining worldcoin and exchanging it into ltc. I know this changes really quick and would need to change over where it suits. Am I reading this right?
Why ain't more people doing it or have I missed something ?
 
Because it literally changes 'that' quick.

Profitability will be 180% one hour, then 50% the next. So even though you've mined it, you can't sell it for a profit anymore.

I prefer stability.

Looks like the best strategy is to mine the heck outta the new coins, create your own depository & opportunistically trade them "when" or "if" they become valuable. The whole "altcoins for the sake of it" scene doesn't do to much for me because I don't see much of a future market for them. Despite my doubts I'm actually mining them, feathercoin, namecoin & always have a litecoin machine churning away creating one a day if it goes well.
