Everytime I see someone talk about Bitcoin its with some years old GPU. Is this just coincidence or is there a reason to avoid using newer cards? (high wear/replacement cost, higher electricity cost, etc)

Asking because I threw in a nVidia 950 in my desktop a couple months ago and was thinking of joining a mining service since I work more than Im home. I guess I should also ask what's the best service to join?

Because money.

Shit cards = cheap cards = More cards running.

>>1438276
So that's all then? Just a lower initial investment? There's no reason to not run a newer card that was bought without mining in mind?

I would ask what the best alt-coin to mine would be, but /biz seems a little too eager about them atm, almost to the possibility of shills to pump prices.

Bitcoin is safer

If I typed that a year ago I'd have to go wash my hands.

Why the fuck are you mining using a GPU you moron. Even if you're getting 1-2 GH/S you're still looking at pennies daily. Save your card life and don't bother, and tell everyone who says that GPU mining Bitcoin that they're a fucking tool.

Please dude, I swear to god you must know more about mining Bitcoin than this. Go altcoin mining if anything.

I have been playing with Bitcoin and learning about it for the past 3 years. Trust me when I say this. GPU mining doesn't mean shit anymore.

ALTERNATIVELY;

Get dedicated mining hardware (ASICs or application specific integrated chips) and run them. I did some calculation for someone earlier today and if you're running some Antminer S9s you'll be picking up roughly $20 a day or something, but those run in the Terahashes and are basically a minimum of 1000x more powerful than your video card is.

Take my advice, save the card or do any other form of mining.

Minimg bitcoin sadly wont be profitable if you dont have a mega-rig. But you can still invest in trumpcoin!
