You didn't mention where you're geographically located, but for UK users, I've found the service at speedybitcoin.co.uk to be very quick and reliable. You specify a receiving address, and whenever you send a bank transfer using particular details, you receive Bitcoins at that address based upon whatever the current Mt Gox exchange rate might be, less a commission. If you write and ask for a 'tailored account', you can get the commission reduced and the daily limits increased without a problem.
One caveat: since Mt Gox prices have been out of whack since their announcement that USD withdrawals would be temporarily suspended for two weeks as of 20 June, I wouldn't necessarily use any service just yet that relies on automatic quotes from Mt Gox.
I used the steps for AMD Raedon 7xxx Series drivers, because it seemed simpler and I wanted to just get things started...
Each time I do it, I end up having correct performance if using only one of the GPUs, and it doesn't matter which one. Any time I try to use 2 GPUs I would get diminished performance. For example if I was setting up 2x 5850s and getting 350MH/sec for one each I'd probably get only about 400MH/sec when using both.
This was not the case when setting up Windows 7, 64-bit, cgminer versions 2.11 through 3.1, and using a few different versions of AMD drivers/opencl. The last setup I did was with AMD ver 13.1, which includes opencl.
I'm wondering if anyone else has either had success with linux (ubuntu preferred, but don't really care) and running multiple GPUs at full potential.
Hello all, Been reading through a lot of the posts checking out the different group buys for mining hardware ( not realising I couldnt ask questions in the threads I was reading)- so here's a few newbie questions... There is a group buy (by member canaryinthemine) where he's selling the asic miner USB devices for around 1 BTC. I was thinking of buying 10 . Am I correct that these are 333mh/s each- so 10 would be 3330 mh/s approx. Can someone correct me if Im not understanding correctly- but I put 3330 into a mining calculator at current difficulty and it came out around 7 dollars per day basically taking over 150 days to make the money back on the hardware ( assuming no change in difficulty-some chance!). can someone tell me why anyone is buying them-at least in bulk- I can understand 1 or 2 to play around? Also- what type of hardware setup would be required to run lets say 10 of them stacked together? are there special types of USB hubs for them. Dont know much about the raspberry pi-can that run 10 of them? Any info appreciated.
I have looked at buying some used GPU's and mining litecoins, is this likely to yield a profit or is it dependant on the possibilty of litecoin value increasing?
Very likely to yield a profit but it all depends on the GPU you are using.
