Pool Payout & Getting Ready to Order

My hardware paid out today with BitMinter.com so I ended up getting
0.01 Bitcoin into my CEX.io account. All my hardware earnings go into cloud hashing so I ended up getting 1.33633490 GHs... then invested 0.00001118 Bitcoin into Litecoin for cloud hashing scrypt mining in the future, so I got 0.00051390 Litecoin.

It's also almost pay day (27th) so I'm going to start paying closer attention to bids. I plan on buying two 60GHs Butterfly Lab miners which will cost me around $350-400. I'm also currently bidding on a 10GHs CEX.io voucher with a max bid of $48 USD.

Waste of Money

I tried Bitcasino.io out... what a waste of money. I ended up playing 0.011 bitcoin on Blackjack and lost everything. Honestly it wasn't even that fun. Never doing that again.

I'm also going to be looking into ordering a couple 50 GHs Butterfly Labs miners off eBay. I noticed that they're selling for about $150-200 with shipping. Figured I'd blow about $300-400 on 100 GHs.

.4 GHs Cloud Hashing

I ended up spending a bunch of cash on video games this month so I didn't have much left over for bitcoin. I ended up buying .2 GH/s of cloud hashing for cex.io off ebay for $1.83 ... I also have another bid on another .2 GH/s that ends in 2 days.

Had to do some major trouble shooting today. I re-installed windows so my USB drivers are all messed up. It took me about 6 hours of work to realize that both my Anker 9 Port USB 3.0 Hubs weren't running on my USB 3 com ports. I finally hooked them up to USB 2.0 ports and now they are running as normal. I heard that Windows 8 requires an update to trigger 3.0 hubs to work properly. We'll see in time. Right now I'm running 2 hubs with 1 Bitfury Twin Chip (3.5 GHs)... 2 Bitfury Red Fury's (2.5 GHs each - 5 GHs total)... 2 Bitmain Antminer U1's (2 GHs each - 4 GHs total)... and 11 ASIC Sapphire Block Erupters (335 MHs each - 3.69 GHs total).

I'm also currently bidding on 4 Bitmain Antminer U1's and I'm going to be ordering a 3rd Anker USB Hub. Still waiting for the second fan that I ordered off Amazon.

I got my other Red Fury working on cgminer! For some reason the bf1 drivers would only make 1 Red Fury work... but now both run under the Zadig WinUSB drivers. Too bad I gave away my 3rd...

I bought a new Bitfury Twin Chip for $82. It was advertised as a 4 GH/s miner but I've only been able to get it running at 3.5 GH/s. I'm now running 2 different miners simultaneously. I have my 11 Sapphire Block Erupters and 2 Antminer U1's running off the Bitminter client... then I have my new Twin Chip and a Red Fury running on cgminer... so I'm connected to two different workers on the same account.

Sorry I haven't updated in so damn long. I ended up buying another red fury which might I add, doesn't work... I've bought 2 red furies now that don't work, never purchasing one again. I have 2 Antminer U1's overclocked to 2.0 GHs, going to overclock to 2.2 GHs once I have 5 of them, just don't want to burn out my hardware right away. I also ended up getting 1 more Sapphire Block Erupter (traded a broken red fury for it) and I also purchased about another 2.5 GHs on cex.io ... I also spent everything I had in my wallet on cex GHs power. I also started making micro-transactions of buying Litecoin.
