i received the following transmission today:
"If you, or someone you know, is interested in Bitcoin mining & would like
some *FREE* hardware...I have 600+ powered PCI-E 1x:16x riser packs. Each
pack contains a 1x:16x riserboard, a PCI-E daughter board, a power cable &
a male:male usb cable. These are the boards & assembly which house the
GPUs which can be connected in series...8 risers (Linux) or 6 risers
(Windows)..maximizing your GPU processing power which equates to MORE
Bitcoin you will mine. These particular boards work efficiently for
Bitcoin/Litecoin/Dogecoin mining.
Let me know if you'd like some or have any questions."
argh we interested?
i think we could steward their displacement somehow

FFR, a relevant subject line is generally considered useful.

Sounds like to use this, you'd need to supply lots of video cards and
electricity, and possibly some kind of housing to hold everything.
GPUs aren't very good at Bitcoin anymore. I've read that NVIDIA's
Maxwell family of chips is pretty good at Litecoin (though I have no
personal experience with this and I should also point out as a matter
of full disclosure that I work for NVIDIA, but of course I am not
speaking for NVIDIA).
Others may have more up-to-date information, but last time I checked
(roughly a year ago) it was not economical to mine Bitcoin using
anything but the best ASIC-based miners, and even then it was iffy
whether it was worth the electricity costs.

I've heard from folks who used to be pretty into mining that using
banks of ASICs (Neptunes, mostly) as part of mining pools wasn't even
profitable anymore. I didn't look at their data but January or
February of this year was around the time they gave up.
