Re: [5000 TH] Slush's Pool (mining.bitcoin.cz); TX FEES + VarDiff
Hello! I'm new to Bitcoin mining in general, and I followed a tutorial on how to get started. They suggested this pool. I just wanna say that I don't know like anything about bitcoin, besides the basics, and I'd like to know if I should go any further with what I am doing.
I have an ATI (or AMD) Radeon HD 7770 (GHz Edition) that I use for gaming and, well, this. I get 200 Mhash/s, and I wanna know if this is good for mining. I've mined about 0.00000494 BTC so far, and that's within a day. I also want to know if I should upgrade to a better Graphics Card or an ASIC thingy later on.
I know this thing is good for beginner users, and I just hope it survives everything I throw at it.
Anyway, thank you
I like Bitcoin so far btw. I just wish there was a method I could take. (I only have like $50 to spend right now)

You can hop on Amazon and buy one of these for $27 USD http://www.amazon.com/BITMAIN-ANTMINER-U2-Bitcoin-Overclockable/dp/B00ITD5NV6/ref=pd_sim_sbs_pc_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=1R9GF4V3NFV2KX7Z4RPC it will be around 10x as fast as your video card is and only use 2 watts. save yourself some money on your energy costs and save your graphics card. It will be a good intro to bitcoin mining. but its not going to make you rich.
I started out with 3 of those and a Raspberry Pi and a USB powered hub and a USB Fan from Arctic. it was fun and enough to get me addicted hehe.
