HTPC/Light gaming PC video card question

The 750ti's have been down to $110 in the hot deals forums. I'd bump up to that if you are going to do some gaming.

R9 290X or EVGA GTX 780

Gigabyte 290 for $320 currently after rebate. Not the best 290 by a long shot but that sure is cheap. http://slickdeals.net/f/7027092-gigabyte-radeon-r9-290-4gb-512-bit-gddr5-video-card-320-after-20-rebate-free-shipping?v=1

Cryptocoin Mining?

X11/X13 net profits using the Nicehash multi-algo mining pool has been around $4 per day for my 9 7870/270 setup. And this is with my cheap Texas electricity (9 cents per KW/hr) and mining in the garage (i.e. no air conditioning). So sad. Was going to try and build a patio enclosure for the...

Remotes other than the Harmony?

RCA makes a JP1 remote that is gravy. Highly recommended on the various HTPC forums. I forget the model number but should be easy to find. Goes for like $8 at Wallyworld. I have been very happy with it on my Windows 7 WMC PC.

Are daily payout stats for Nicehash documented somewhere beyond the 24 hour mark?

Cryptocoin Mining?

The 24 hour payout stats for x11 on Nicehash is horrible. Around 0.00036 BTC/Mhash. Unless things pick back up going to have to go back to scrypt. Less electricity and heat is not worth 1/6th the gross earnings.

Anyone here mining x11 on a 7870? If so, what hash rate are you getting? Using PIMP distro with the "X11 (Darkcoin)/X13 (Marucoin) miner (based on sph-sgminer)" miner I am getting ~1870 Kh/s per card on a three card rig. Here's the config: The above box is mining on Nicehash. Any comments...

Does anyone have a page up that will show hashrate graphs for wafflepool over multiple days for a given address? The only one I could find via google is waffles.wilschrader.com/stats. Graphs don't seem to work most of the time and the duration is only the last 24 hours.

Another sneaky thing with SMOS I found while reading the btc forums. There is a forced "donation" fee in the release. At 3 am each morning a cron job kills the current miners and switches over to mining for 15 minutes with a cgminer config that mines under the creator's pool accounts. Then after...

Cool. I've also bumped mine up to I18 from I17. Seems to be doing pretty good. I think half the people on the forums that post big numbers with an I20 value never even pay attention to the rejects. It's apparent when you see screen shots with 5%+ rejects in cgminer (I'm guilty of it)...

Truthfully I never have understood how people can mine with an intensity of 20 and get a low reject rate. Every time I have tried it my rejects always go up. Last night I bumped the intensity down from 20 to 17 on both my 7870 machines and my 290 machine. Reject rate has went significantly...

For those mining on middlecoin with 7870's and an intensity value of 20 what percentage of rejects are you getting? All 5 of my 7870's hover around 10% rejects at a ~400 kh/s mining rate. I've bumped the intensity down to 17 to see if it helps. Hash rate went down to ~380 kh/s with 17 for the...

R9 290 Price Rant

Ha. Same for me. I sold 9 7950/7970's before the craze hit. Should have definitely kept them as I am now re-buying mining hardware. This coming summer even if I take down the miners I will keep the hardware.

R9 290 Price Rant

That's why I said the $150+ plus range. I question the 7850 getting ~400kh/s unless someone is doing some massive overclocks. Probably ~350kh/s is more reasonable.

Average around 400 kh/s for the 5870. Decent deal at $120 or less. Get up in the $150+ range and you might as well buy a new 7870 or a 270.

Yep, I meant 0.018 btc per day. I also got confused on the miners. The 0.018 is from my two 7970's that are hashing around 620kh/s each. The 290x2 rig will be more as it's hashing at 840 kh/s per card, although the reject are higher because of the intensity value of 20 vs 13 on the 7970's. Hard...

Only really used LogMeIn for mining computers as RDP would kill the GPU miners. Will have to move to TightVNC Server and the normal tunneling I have always done via the ssh server on a dd-wrt router.

Thinking about ordering a couple Tri-x 290's to replace my 7970cf setup. At current prices/difficulty it would take about 1.5 months of LTC mining to make up for Newegg's price gouging. An i5-3570k at 4.4ghz will not be a bottle neck in gaming for 290cf at 1440p, correct?

Your just a regular Nostradamus. I'm guessing those that mined away for the two years (i.e. since you made your prediction) are pretty dang happy today. Have you at least figured out Bitcoin is not a pyramid scheme yet?
