The CryptoMining PC Hardware Thread
Ok ... you asked for it so here it is.

This is a sticky for discussion regarding computer hardware required for CryptoMining.

Fire away and discuss the best CPU's, GPU's, memory and associated hardware ... post your stats ... discuss what is currently out there and add anything of value from a hardware perspective ... from budget to high end.

We will review this in a week and see how it goes.

There has been a lot of discussion in the last couple of months about graphics cards ... anyone want to start there with some benchies?

I will leave this in the CPU forum area to start with.

There are two additional threads on this topic, one is in GPUs and the other is in components:
- Components: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2041828/crypto-cur...
- GPUs: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2041557/crypto-cur...

These threads deal with GPUs and the rest of the components that make up a solid rig for coin mining. - G-unit1111

The early bird catches the worm.

The systems could be used for more worthwhile projects like Folding at Home. I just wish there was a way to classify them as charitable contributions and deduct some of it from your taxes.

Here lies the end user profitability of PC hardware for Crypto mining... May it rest in a million distributed and highly encrypted pieces...
As stated above, CPU mining won't recover your power bills. The same is true for GPU mining. On the plus side, AMD has posted a $500 discount on their flagship GPUs. I suppose the supply overshot the demand by a large margin, since no one is using these to mine anymore.

I think it's false. I don't hope so.

I don't see the reason to mine on the CPU, as mention above it simply isn't worth it.

I figured it was a false positive, certainly not blaming you.

The company website.

I think that was a bogus flagging myself. If you click on the "why was this site blocked" it reported 0 occurrences of both malware and phishing.
