Crypto Currency Mining & Graphics Cards

How many coins you get an hour and what software do you use to set it up?

If you have to ask that question(s) then you have no business trying to mine. At this point, it is a VERY EXPENSIVE investment with little probability of payoff. The difficulty is up... it is no place for a novice.

At this point any crypto currency mining is best done on ASICs. GPUs just can't keep up. In the same TDP a ASIC will do 100x the MH/s that even a top end AMD GPU can do.

I always been interested in mining and was wondering is it best to use a separate rig or one you already have built? I've recently invested in cloud mining but might explore actual mining rigs to make.

As far as I know, even using ASICs, the scale of investment required to possibly generate a return is high five figures or more.

Cloud mining is the only way to go if you did not get into the ASICs when they first came out. If you had the ASICs when they first came out then a crate system was better but since you are so far into it now cloud mining is better since you pay to use already purpose set hardware.

Okay yea I figure so I wasn't sure of myself back then and was worry about other things when it came out. I'll probably keep increasing my hashing power each month.

You will have to since it gets harder and harder. I wish I started when I first read about it, back when they were worthless and a CPU could get you a ton. Would have had enough to buy most anything I wanted.

What a fun thread to read lol!

MERGED QUESTION
Question from Ferre Vekemans : "Starting to mine"

Hi everyone, i am planning to start mining soon, my first idea was to start of with 3x r9 380's , is that a good idea? Or doe anyone knows a better price/performance Card? Or shall i wait for the rx480 to Be released?

Btw, the r9 380 i Found was a 4gb 280€ one

you mean bitcoin mining?

Mining is over, specialized hardware now rules the space. Youll be able to pay for those cards assuming you're stealing electricity in about 4 years
