I wouldn't worry semaj, you are witnessing a hypothetical debate. Don't let it wind you up.

As a masternode owner I am against increasing masternode payouts unless something is done to improve mining conditions for the miners.

Don't forget that masternodes have recently been running at a loss too despite our 20% slice of the pie. This is probably now solved but still, we aren't raking it in at the miners expense.

I was gutted the other day whean I read you hired that beast of a farm.

I was watching you connect and disconnect from the DarkcoinTalk Pool and my pulse was racing when I saw you at 3.5Gh/s dude...

I was like "Yeah Baby" thinking you had a 1000 GPU setup lol Tongue

We were running at 7Gh/s for a while! Set my pulse racing too!

Serious question...how do you build a rig with that kind of hash rate?

Jesus I must have missed that, I saw you at 3.5 Gh/s then you disconnected, must have caught you at the end of the session.

If it was from betarigs then they allow you to configure multiple rigs as one for rental purposes, and I saw some bad ass data centres on there when I used to rent out my farm.

But never 7 Gh/s.

Prices have come down a lot now though on rentals, I used to split my farm up into 100 Mh/s chunks to make the price palatable for the punters, but now prices have plummeted it's not strange to think old world miners with massive GPU farms just configuring the whole lot as one machine through a proxy.

By my estimate, which is partially based on my progress, partially based on likely increases by changes I have considered but not completed, and partially pulled out of my ass, I would hazard a guess that it's possible to do 3.5 GH/s with a little over 200 280X cards. That would qualify for "mid-to-low sized farmer." 7GH/s would therefore be slightly over 400 280X, so, decent-sized farmer. Neither qualify for "balling farmer." Tongue

Just did a quick job search online and no vacancies for balling farmer's assistant came up. Shame. Thought I found a new career.
