| * thafreak is busy mining crypto coins | 15:07 | |
| canthus13 | thafreak: are they worth anything? | 15:40 |
| * canthus13 has a couple of cuda-capable machines he could mine with... | 15:42 | |
| thafreak | bitcoins are selling for $130 | 15:42 |
| thafreak | but cuda won't get you very far... | 15:43 |
| thafreak | you can mine litecoins or feathercoins...or one of the other alternatives | 15:43 |
| thafreak | but they are only traiding for a few bucks...i think litecoins are around $2 | 15:43 |
| * canthus13 nods. | 15:46 | |
| canthus13 | I know BTC is at the point where you need a high density FPGA rig to get anywhere. | 15:46 |
| thafreak | well, i mean you could use your gpu's...you'd get something...and eventually the price will probably go up | 15:50 |
| thafreak | there's actually these little usb devices you can get for like $30-$40 that are just as fast as some decent gpu's though | 15:50 |
| thafreak | and they use way less power (like a couple watts) | 15:50 |
| thafreak | i mean they're about as fast as the current $150-$200 gpu's... | 15:51 |
| canthus13 | nice. | 15:51 |
| thafreak | yeah...and you can chain as many as you want on a powered usb hub | 15:52 |
| paultag | nope :) | 15:58 |
| paultag | you can only address up to 254 devices on USB | 15:58 |
| paultag | for each bus | 15:58 |
| paultag | since it's in the address nibble stuff | 15:58 |
| paultag | sorry | 15:59 |
| paultag | 127 | 15:59 |
| paultag | including the hub | 15:59 |
| paultag | also each device introduces a lot of lag | 16:00 |
| paultag | since it has to be requested to send data back | 16:00 |
| paultag | (it's master/slave) | 16:00 |
| thafreak | yes, but I can put them on a raspberry pi | 16:07 |
| thafreak | so I can have like 6 per pi | 16:07 |
| thafreak | and use hardly any power | 16:07 |
| thafreak | well, compared to a desktop with dual radeons or something | 16:07 |
| thafreak | a single pi, with 6 of these usb devices would destroy a desktop with dual radeons | 16:08 |
| thafreak | at a fraction of the power draw | 16:08 |
| dzho | yeah, I don't think that's going to figure in to be a very big proportion of your power draw one way or the other | 16:09 |
| dzho | I mean, you're talking about running 6 or more miners full tilt, right? | 16:10 |
| thafreak | no...one miner with 6 asics | 16:10 |
| thafreak | and we're off...~335Mh/s...finally | 16:34 |
| belkinsa | For what? | 16:35 |
| thafreak | that's my current hashing power with my new fpga | 16:45 |
| belkinsa | I see. | 16:45 |
| thafreak | so...i had left my desktop running for pretty much an entire day mining bitcoin | 17:46 |
| thafreak | i've had this new fpga running for about an hour and earned about the same ammount | 17:47 |
