  • What kind of ASIC miner are you using?

  • I'm not. I'm just using my GeForce GTX 750 TI to mine. I'm very new to all if this. I figured I would give the bitcoin solo lottery a shot. I was in slush pool but I was only pulling .00000050 per block. Estimated time of my payout was 18 months.

    Any kind of mining without specialized hardware is definitely not worth your time or electricity cost. Buying actual lottery tickets has a rate of return that's about 100 times better. So you might want to consider that before deciding to sink more time into this.

  • An r-box. Sounds good to me. Will I need an additional power supply? Will this possibly remove the error that I am seeing now? Thanks for the replays guys.

You're likely to never ever get the cost back for frying your card. Simply an impossible feat to mine with a graphics card. Invest in a new r -box. You can find them on ebay for about $60-100. You'll earn roughly 0.001 btc per day, which is roughly 30 cents per day.

You will need power supply.Be sure to get one with appropriate connections to connect to r-box.R-box uses a measley 100 watts,which is nothing but youll mine not much as well.If your looking to get some return on your box i would suggest rent it out on Mining Rig Rentals.There you might regain some cost.I hate to break the blunt truth to you as well but unless you run a 100 Terrahash Farm youll never solomine a bitcoin.

  • Thanks. I ordered one from Amazon. It comes with a power supply. Is it possible to mine with like 4 of then at the same time to increase my hash rate?

  • I figured that I would need a lot of power. If I can get a payout from slush pool that does not take 19 months I will be happy. This is just a start for me. I feel I will be trying to build a nice rig. It will just take time and money.

    You can adjust your payouts on slushs pool to lower amounts.I think the ,minimal is 0.001 BTC payout.That will take you roughly a day with a 100 ghs R-Box,depending on pools luck as well!!.Lately slushs pool hasnt had all that much luck.If you want a gaurantee payout in a day go for a PPS(pay per share) pool.

    Personally id mine at www.BTCMP.com.It is pay per share but you can see your progress right in front of you.They do have a minimal payout of 0.001BTC as well .

    Good piece of advice splurge on a 500$ Bitmain Antminer s5.They produce 1 TH/S and burn only 650 watts .Youll like make about 20-25$ per week with it.Not including your cost for electricity.
