Million dollar question is from the money spent on some of these eye candy rigs and the amount of watts and elecy used do you guys actually make good returns
Well I paid off my entire rig.. so yes.
Simple GPU miner with 1x 5850 and 1x 7970.
Pulls 370 watts at the wall with some tweaking of the GPUs.
59C for the 7970 and 68C for the 5850.
850 Mhash/s
P.S. Picture was taken by Potato 2000
One 7970 can do ~700, one 5850 can ~320 easy
I don't like to mess with overclocks, it would get quite hot in the garage, instability issues, temperature issues, and high power consumption.
The higher hash rate vs power consumption isn't worth it. In the end you'll have accelerated electromigration and dead cards.
What are the specs and power consumption levels of that setup?
Not good
But I have cheap power so efficiency hasn't been my number one concern.All the cards plus the bitForce single on the left get me about 8GH/s. Electrical usage is about 3,680 watts and costs me .0479 USD.
Some things I want to do to trim my power is flash and downclock the memory of my 4 6970s and also downclock/volt/whatever the CPUs. Not sure how much that will really save me though.
Haha that's quite high, but you could see a huge decrease in consumption by undervolting and underclocking the memory.
Leaving the core the same is good. My rule of thumb is to undervolt and underclock the memory while keeping the core at stock speeds.
Another question, did you redo the electrical to handle that load? Or was your pre existing wiring good enough to handle that amount of current?

You can increase GPU speed and reduce Voltage in same line.
When you go to set a Formula1 Race team, you can not start with a Golf R36 and hope to win.
The problem is racing cars have constantly burnt out tires, while graphics cards have electromigration and total errosion of GPU long term

Not in the useful mining lifetime of the card.
For a proper analogy, I'd equate worn tires to a burnt out fan, and electromigration to a blown engine.
Great analogy
But if any "parts" in the actual engine break then you're doomed.Anyways it's much better for me because I wouldn't gain much and it helps keep the temperatures low and my power consumption down.
My confidence is fed by that fact that bitcoin is already having a 10 years of experience of being the world's biggest and best cryptocurrency and it is a worthy and relevant at the same time when tons of new cryptocurrencies have been developed.
I can agree with you on that fact that it is an easiest way to prove that somebody were wrong just to wait until the time will show that. So I can agree that bitcoin is still not having a serious reasonable competitor to it.
This is a known fact if the price goes up it will surely go down. What happens if the price of Bitcoin falls to $1000 in 2018, will this be considered as a Worst Case Scenario or something else?
Probably one of the worst decisions would be to ban cryptocurrency worldwidely, or if people would just lose all the interest for it and the price will be coming to 0. I think both of those options are possible.Yes of course, bitcoin really has future. It is new technology that helps our money to be used in the future. You can earn and you can spend it and be independent from the government inside your country.
I think those media exaggerated the negative news of bitcoin. We know that every new industry is always accompanied by doubts in the course of its development. Bitcoin is also the same.
I really agree with you because most of the people want to talk about something. It is better to think about your future and how you can earn money with Bitcoin.
Bitcoins distributors are increasing. Indeed, the symbolic bar of the 3 000 distributors in the world has just been crossed, and there are about six new installations each day. So the situation is changing very quickly.
New opportunities for us are very good. So I can say is it going in bro his first place in cryptocurrency. The price for real-time grows up and I think in the next year it will be near $10000.All those FUDsters that where saying year ago how Bitcoin would fail because another currency would take over get proven wrong year after year. The more time Bticoin is alive, the stronger it gets and the bigger the network effect. Sorry but there will not be a Bitcoin 2.0. Bitcoin will go to 100k+ per coin in the next 5 to 10 years, it will absorb all the value researched in the field if not directly through protocol improvements then through sidechains.
Bitcoin will remain the only solid coin. The only coin that survived for the longest time (other coins can't claim this unless they invent a time machine).
There will be alts that pump really hard and make people millionaires, but no alt is going to surpass Bitcoin's strength and solidity. No coin will get a bigger marketcap. In the long term people holding 21+ BTC will be rewarded by history with rich-tier status for seeing the value in it before most people did. Do not let the FUDsters trick your mind or the trolls try to derrail the excellent job being done by Core devs.
Let's continue then our path towards inevitable triumph.
For real time it is true. But nobody knows what can happened in the next year. Maybe bitcoin will disappear from the market. But for real time it is the most popular cryptocurrency in the world.Bitcoin will remain the only solid coin.

From those three I will use and choose Ethereum coins, because I am the most confident in it from among those three cryptocurrencies and it has proved that it is trustworthy in time measuring.
Bounty hunters help to expose ICOs to crypto related audience to attract investors for the project. No matter how promising the project may be, if the ICO fails, the project won't see the light of the day. Bounty hunters are very important in ICOs. But there is one thing am not happy about bounty hunters. They usually dump their coins at any price the moment it is listed on an exchage which usually drops the price of the coin even below the ICO price putting the investors at a disadvantage. I want to advise the hunters to hold their bounty tokens for a while in order to maintain a good price for the coin. We shouldn't forget we are all stakeholders
yeah I think this is very good advice for our welfare because we are not to forget that we are also a part of the community of vertical project and token-holders as well as investors.You need to be carefully looking on every vertical or coin of your, to see what are the predictions about each of them and some of them will be good to hold during the market regulations and some of them would be better to sell.
