Thanx a lot for the replies MrFeathers and Nutnut. I am aware that AMD cards are better for Mining Crypto-Currencies. Did read Mr. Bushnell’s recent interview in the Guardian - http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2013/jun/25/bitcoin-successors-litecoin-freicoin

ATI 7870 and ATI 7950 would be too high an investment for me right now. Indian Rupees 16,000 and 25,000 right now. ATI 6450 and 6670 seem safer bets. INR 3587 and 5381 right now. US $ 1 = 60.70 INR right now. I hope these cards are compatible with the Mother Board and the Microprocessor.

Off to a short break and will return to the forum in a couple of weeks to start my Mining adevnture. Thanx again.

I’d like to give FeatherCoin Mining a try with my Desktop which has been serving me well for 3.5 years now. Featured below are the Specs :

Microprocessor : Core2Duo 2.8 GHz

Mother Board : ASUS P5KPL AMPS

RAM : Umax 3 GB DDR2

Graphics Card : ASUS 8400 512 MB

OS : UBUNTU 10.04 The Lucid Lynx

I hope to use this Desktop for another couple of years. Been working fine except the PSU dying a couple of times. Have taken a look at a few Online Mining Calculators. Would be great if a member could speculate on the number of FeatherCoins I can hope to mine with this Hardware Solo/Pool.

Not very efficient technically. I know there are lots of variables, just require a helping hand. I’d also like to know the bandwidth consumed while Mining FC’s. I have a 11 GB Internet connection and can spare about 4 GB per month. Any additional info welcome :)

Hi there. I am a 35 year old male from India. Been an affiliate marketer for 3.5 years. Reading about Crypto-Currencies for a few months now. To be very honest it looks like a great Ponzi scheme but then aren’t Govt. Backed Currencies a Scam too ;D

We need money to live and P2P Internet Currencies seem like a Gamble worth participating in. My interests are primarily Research and SEO so haven’t started Mining yet. It would be great if senior members could help me getting started as a Feathercoin Member. Have read a few articles about it during the past weeks.

Would like to start Mining with my desktop and if there are returns may invest in a Mining Rig early next year. Would it be the right thread to provide the specifications of my Desktop and know the info about probable returns?
