Hello all,
I am not much on posting in forums but thought it was time to say thank you to Tycho for the work and dedication put into Deepbit.net. I also would like to say thanks to all the members that have contributed to this and other threads on this forum. Many of you have been a great help in understanding how this all works.

I started mining solo in mid 2010 with CPUs only. Success was very rare but my interest was captured. I recently purchased a used 5870 from eBay which is turning out to be a good investment. My full time mining rig is an old MSI motherboard with a Q6600 CPU, overclocked 5870, 850 watt power supply, 2 gig ram. Other than the video card and power supply the system is over 4 years old (my old gaming rig reborn). It is sitting in the server room I admin over and working very smoothly.

I have a few bills to pay but plan on investing in another GPU very soon.

If your looking for a pool to join I would say Deepbit.net is the place to be.

Have a great day.
