Wafflepool and Clevermining publish their average rate of return. I trust them because of that honesty and openness - they don't have anything to hide and aren't afraid to let you know how they are doing so you can choose what's best for you. But some of the other auto switching multipools don't mention anything, so you have to just decide to mine there and hope for the best.

I must be an idiot. I can't figure out what I would put in my .bat for scryptguild.
Still going to try that other pool back a page though. Haven't been home.
Has anyone tried the grid seed five chip units. they are pretty good I have 2 of them. There is a seller that has then for 235 each if you mine ltc only they run at about 10 watts for 365 kh so 2 of them = 1 hd7970 ..
What do you mean?
I have no idea how to use CUDAminer with a switching pool site. I don't even know if that's how I do it. I just figured out how to set up the .bat for coinotron, and now this one didn't even have a passoword.

Did you guys see the daily tech blog about the owner and his history? Apparently he's had a number of incidents with the law and been fired several times with some dubious theft etc accusations. I'm surprised this wasn't uncovered earlier.

“I’m saying I’m no longer in engineering. That’s it. And even if I was, when we get hired, you have to sign this document, contract saying you will not reveal anything we divulge during and after employment. So that’s what I implied.”
That's a good question, I have no idea... but the source of these funds link back to an address Mark Karpeles used back in 2011, which he posted on IRC to prove he was in control of a wallet with 424242 BTC at the time.
Did they actually say 99% of the BTC was lost? I remember Mark saying the coins were temporarily unavailable or something. Sounded like BS to me, but maybe there is truth to it after all. I guess we'll find out more soon. If it's theft related, well... I doubt anyone is cashing out this many coins without getting some serious heat.
Well guys, I f'd up. I did an upgrade on the auroracoin pool last night and in the process it looks like I ended up losing all the submitted shares from prior to the upgrade. The shares posted right now are from my account from testing after finishing the upgrade ironically to check that I didn't break anything. I'll check to see if I can restore from a backup, but that may not be possible.
The "good" news is I doubt anybody will ever use the pool anyway, so unless the difficulty magically drops to ridiculously low levels, the odds of finding a block and being credited in the near future are slim to none anyway.
What! Think I had about 250k worthless shares....Guessing they'll just stay worthless.
I pointed 6 MH/s at Scryptguild for comparison purposes. We'll see if it lives up to the hype...
Hey guys. Appreciate some insight:
I am currently just mining days and evenings (work/sleeping) with my gaming PC (single 6950). Very small time. Just got into it a few months ago. However, being a tech guy, I'm fascinated by this process. I also think it could be a fun hobby. So, I've been looking to expand, for 2 reasons:
1) hopefully make money
2) learning/enjoyment
A guy on my local craigslist has the following for sale:
- Motherboard: MSI 970 (2 x 16 PCI-E, 2 x 1 PCI-E)
- CPU: AMD Samperon 145
- RAM: Crucial 4GB DDR3
- PSU: EVGA 750w (80+ Gold Certification, ave 89% efficiency)
- GPU: 2 x Sapphire Radeon R9 280x
- OS: SMOS Linux bootable from Usb
- CASE: Open air plastic milk crate
He says the cards are two weeks old and everything is running great. He gets 1420 kh/s with about 500w power consumption. They are running at 1.161 volts each. The rig is running SMOS Linux from a bootable USB stick (included) and doesn't require keyboard, mouse, monitor, assuming you can start it up and SH (shell) into it (I don't know how to do that but he said he'd help set it up).
He is asking $1500. It looks like the cards go for $350 each on ebay.
What would be a fair price for this setup?
How many BTC per day would I get at 1420 kh/s? My electricity cost is $.075.
I appreciate insight/suggestions!
