BitMinter - Bitcoin made easy! Mining hardware comparison. See also: Non-specialized hardware comparison Below are statistics about the Bitcoin Mining performance of ASIC hardware and only includes specialized equipment that has been shipped. GPUs, CPUs and other hardware not specifically designed for Bitcoin mining can be found in the Non-specialized_hardware_comparison. Notes: Mhash/s = millions hashes per second (double sha256 raw speed performance; may not be very energy efficient with some models) Mhash/J = millions hashes per joule (energy efficiency; 1 joule of energy is 1 watt during 1 second: 1 J = 1 W*s) W = watt (maximum power consumption, i.e. energy per unit of time: 1 W = 1 J/s) Be sure to research any of these vendors and machines intensely before spending any money. ↑ Fpgaminer (May 19, 2011).

[117 TH] p2pool: Decentralized, DoS-resistant, Hop-Proof pool. In an attempt to help complete noobs, like myself, I've written a hopefully foolproof guide. Please look over this and inform me of any mistakes I've made. If anyone tries this and fails, please let me know what didn't work. Step by precious step guide for P2Pool mining on Windows 7. 1.

This question gets asked by every miner at the beginning when they are testing the waters with bitcoin mining. A lot of great pools are out there and at the end of the day it boils down to your personal choice.

There is really no single best pool, but there is most likely a pool that is right for you, based on _your_ requirements and preferences. This guide won’t tell you which pool is best, but it will help you choose one according to your own liking. (This guide is more suitable for miners with a limited hashing power, those who are at the beginning stages of their bitcoin mining commitments or those who consider themselves to be casual miners. Hardcore miners, especially those with multi-GHash rigs already know all there is to know about different pools and have already figured out what works for them.)

Before I go into more detail, please note that there are at least two pretty comprehensive lists of pool features available to you (at least that I know of): So here goes… Litecoin mining. more profitable than bitcoin! | Tek Syndicate.
