eh enough of your nonsense la. even your earlier post was totally uncalled for. it was most certainly a butthurt reply.

he get single core of additional RM 50 for the dual-core isn't going to affect anything other than his money.

don't know why are you so insistent on people having to get a dual-core.

Hello, this is year 2013. Do you think the system requirement will last forever? On top of that, the value of the processor. Who wants a single core then TS decides to sell it?

And topping up RM 50 would help in resale a lot huh? Even dual-cores don't sell well to begin with.

You're making a huge fuss over TS's choice of processor that makes little to no difference in experience nor resale value.

TristanX , you're lost bro. If TS intend to use his CPU absolutely for bitcoin purpose, processor won't help at ALL.

Compare with single core? Three is a big difference with that. There will be much more users looking for dual core.

I''ve stated the reasons and I'm done with this thread. It's your money and the choice is yours.

suggestion is that get lots of modems, ethernet cables and such for mega bitcoin rig. a video for you :



and yeah. i just received news from my brother that bitcoin price dropped to 60USD morning today. sad.gif
but, the price is hiking up now. biggrin.gif

that's one sick mining cluster. lol. "I can get around 50gigahash/s". woo.

Thanks for the quick reply.  thumbup.gif
If I really wanted to play around with mining, I think getting a dedicated ASIC mining device + rasberry Pi would be a better option for me as I could leech on the company's power supply.

Seems like something interesting to play.
Something like the old days of egold.  laugh.gif

unless Butterfly Labs starting to ship their ASIC device, right now they're being labelled as scam company. lol.

you should look into here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

Then you'll see why people are fussing about your dualcore thing smile.gif an i7 2600 can only get you around 18megahash/s while a same priced graphic card can get you more than 300megahash/s. smile.gif

erm. from my experience - rare. I bought dual core before, had a super hard time selling. single core not going to make any much difference but being cheaper, it has its merits. either way both are difficult to sell off.

anyway my X6 1100T did only 6 mhash. i donno how the URL people got 22 mhash. probably my 6 mhash cos difficulty raise? not sure but processor is just a no-go.

a bit coin rig is a bit coin rig. getting people to go dual core over single core under the context of "Easier to sell" is just LOL.

Single core enough for bitcoin... Why need spend more?

Example
Office clerk using computer for paperwork(excel, word,etc) and why you need buy alienware for her to do paperwork?

If you purchase the computer for another purposed then dual core is more wise choice.

A very good explanation.

However if I really wanted to do coin mining, I will use FPGA or ASIC(if they even exists).
The power consumption difference is so huge.

FCGA board that can do 1.6GH @ 85Watt, costs about rm6k.
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=2013.1...&id=21616280250

Can profit or not I dunno lar... rclxub.gif

@cloudstrife07
Got consider using FCGA solution?

yup, i know these 2 machines can help miners increase their profit while decreasing the electric bill expense.

I've already set aside some money for my customised bitcoin rig. But then again i'm thinking of the cost (initial + utilities) over the net profit / day.

And then i'm thinking, i might as well just buy off Mt Gox and keep long term or trade when necessary, and i won't have to spend so much time recustomising or repurchasing more bitcoin mining rigs.

Anyone bought off Mt Gox before? I can see the only less tedious option is to do a foreign Bank Transfer to their bank branch in Shibuya, Japan.
Anyone tried this method before?

Looks like the chinese has already created the ASIC miner.
60GH/s @ 600Watt.
http://bitcoinmagazine.com/working-avalon-asic-confirmed/
Can the GPU mining efficiency keep up? Or we will start seeing people selling their 5970s?

I'll wait 3 months and see what happens. Maybe grab some used FCGA if I am still interested in mining..

the thing is, FPGA boards need experts to setup it. sweat.gif

kinda agree since this is hardware questions and answers subforum, not investment. create one at investment and we shall talk about profit and loss there biggrin.gif

still, i don't think it's easy to get FPGA and ASIC in this part of the world. before you knew it, it was sold out. laugh.gif

anyway, back to bitcoin rig suggestion, i'll be buying it this monday, i hope. smile.gif

I checked on ebay, currently there are 2 FPGA mining rigs on sale, not cheap tho...
There will be more FPGA unit on sale as hardcore miners start moving to ASIC units.
Expect more 5970 VGA on market too as the VGA miners move to those used FPGA units.

my 3 years old Radeon HD4850 will need some upgrade soon. hehehe
