Re: bitcoin mining
I just bought two HP DL 380 G5's for a project. Server cost was under
$500 for 32GB RAM, two quad core XEON CPU's, and four 73GB SAS drives
with hardware RAID in a 2U package. That's 8 real cores of processing
for $300 and they were quiet, too - it didn't sound like a turbine
engine like most servers.
At this point, I would shop for 3 year old hardware coming off lease
rather than building a cluster. Just a thought.

George Toft

Look into ASIC based bitcoin mining it's way way way faster than

That being said, I would wait a little while and see how bitcoin
plays out. It's on rocky ground right now and you might find that
you have purchased a bunch of hardware and burned a ton of
electricity to mine a bitcoin that turns out to be worthless.

Re: bitcoin mining
Mike, when the CPU's are running at 100%, 24/7, it eats some seirous power. The guys in my facility use about 50amps to 60amps of continuous power each, utilizing about a half cabinet worth of space each. Then there is the cooling and the power requirements for that. It is a serious business. Gilbert On 3/20/2014 10:06 AM, Michael Havens wrote: I'll tell you Rusty, I currently have 2 computers that I keep on 24 hours a day.

Re: bitcoin mining
well if you Google beowulf cluster you will find the first one i had learned about. but there are a number of options out there. the main thing is once you have it set up you need to figure out what you will do with it. and that is where it gets interesting because you then usually have to build and design a workload for it.

RE: bitcoin mining
I spoke to a friend of mine some time back who has done some mining, and what I remember about what he said was: Originally, the problems were pretty easy, but they get harder as each problem is solved. Now the problems are very hard, so that at this point, you almost have to buy an asic-based 'solution', because otherwise the cost of electricity will wipe out your bitcoin 'payment'. (Interesting that some of the guys who make and sell those ASIC solutions will accept bitcoin in payment) The sad thing is that the problems you are solving have no 'socially redeeming value' - you are not solving any real-world problems. I think you aren't even computing pi to a quadrillion decimal places ;-) --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: bitcoin mining
I have several customers mining in my collocation facility. They are
using the custom ASICs. Every few months they seem to replace them with
newer stuff. I can tell you the they use a lot of electricity and
generate a lot of heat. You have to spend a lot of money to make money
is all I can say. This is not the most environmentally favorable way to
do so either.

Re: bitcoin mining
Look into ASIC based bitcoin mining it's way way way faster than using standard computers to do the mining. That being said, I would wait a little while and see how bitcoin plays out. It's on rocky ground right now and you might find that you have purchased a bunch of hardware and burned a ton of electricity to mine a bitcoin that turns out to be worthless.
