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.

@cloudstrife07
Got consider using FCGA solution?
the thing is, FPGA boards need experts to setup it.

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

erm, can we not go into Bitcoin discussion?

Stick to mining hardware discussion
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

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