Hello everyone! Newbie to the boards here, but not new to mining...been going at it for a year now, finally broke the 1GH/s barrier about 2 months ago so I figured it was time to join the boards to celebrate. Grin

Hope to see yall around!

Grats on your success. Since Im pretty new to this and thinking about getting into it mostly as a hobby. How is your profitability over the year you have been doing this? Im wondering about ROI for initial investment. Anything you would be willing to share about your hardware or how you brok into the game? Did you build a rig or start out using hardware you already had and grow it from there?

I can see that this is highly speculative as far as possible profits go. I like to build things so Im thinking of setting up a rig but Im wondering if I should go GPU or FPGA for my initial investment. I see the return on FPGA will be longer but might be more survivable. Right now Im just using a single 5770 from my gaming rig but obviously that's not a long term solution.

Welcome to the board.
