Cryptocoin Mining?

I switched over to CleverMining on the 19th and they have been very reliable so far. Funny thing is that MiddleCoin finally caught up and sent me another payment on the 23rd, so the admin there is at least putting *some* effort into keeping the pool alive. I'm going to stick with CM though...

Cryptocoin Mining?

I'm a little vexed with middlecoin. It hasn't paid out since the 16th. I have moved my 24/7 card over to clevermining, and when I am away from the computer I use my desktop card to keep mining middlecoin so that I can get a final payout from them before tasking both cards to clevermining...

Maybe it's a windows thing. One thing I want to try is setting up a bootable linux USB and running the same .bat files to see if hash rates improve. Just haven't gotten around to that yet.

Cryptocoin Mining?

Hey guys, I have a problem that I haven't been able to find an answer to by searching. I have two 280x (sapphire vapor-x) that I mine with. One card mines 24/7, and the other one powers my desktop while I work and mines at night. Both cards when mining on their own get a higher has rate...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Thanks Attic. I'm not quite ready to build a full-on dedicated 3-card miner, and I can't get any more vapor-x 280x cards at the moment anyway. I will probably go with the 270 as you described, and then see where I go later.

Kloc, my thinking on the 270 was that I could use it for work, rendering, watching videos, etc while the 280 mines during the day. Then at night running a second .bat for the 270 so that it can put its 350 (or whatever) kh/s to work while I sleep.

Cryptocoin Mining?

I've been mining for fun (and miniscule profit) for a couple of weeks. I seem to have the bugs sorted out and my 280x can hit 280k pretty steady if the rest of the computer is idle. With a bunch of stuff open but no video going it's in the 660 - 675 range. But when I try to play a youtube...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Absolutely. I appreciated Mark's earlier post about what needs to go into a good new cryptocurrency. It needs to improve upon what we already have in BTC & LTC, and not just be a copy/paste pre-mined pump & dump. We need a third stable coin for the every day person. A coin that isn't set...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Hopefully this early phase of "oh snap, I gotta mine this scam coin and make a quick profit" will pass soon. Too many people are looking at this as a way to basically STEAL money from somebody else. I realize that is the "capitalist way" but we need to get beyond that infantile mentality if we...

Cryptocoin Mining?

I think it's best to focus on cryptos that have a shot at longevity. LTC is obviously one, but there will most likely be 1-2 more coins that will be there for the long-term. Ability to mine via GPU in for the duration of the mining process will be a big part of a coin's long-term viability...

Bitcoin is only superior in that it is not debt-based. Every fiat dollar in existence is on LOAN into the economy. Not so with bitcoin. In simple terms: It's the people's currency, if they want it to be. VS the dollar which is the slave's currency because slave-masters TOLD US THAT IT IS...

Opinions on AMD FX-9590 220W?

Oh, and as for the OP, go with an 8350, put it under water even if it's a water 2.0 (it'll need better fans if you want some quiet though) and overclock it if you're not getting the game performance you want. OR just use a good air cooler and put the money you saved towards your video card.

mobo and GPU upgrade or just gpu?

280x is a really good card, but you could get a 7970 which is basically the same thing without a factory overclock for a little less. All Radeons are expensive / hard to get right now due to the online gold-rush, but if you keep a close watch on various forums / ebay, and you are patient, you...

Like it or not, cryptos are the future. Non-debt, non private bank issued currency that cannot be inflated is something that will eventually topple the fiat monetary system. Therefore, expect governments to attempt to crush it and expect massive price swings. Think back to when the internet...

new bracket for GPU liquid cooling

One problem with those AIOs on a vid card is that you are pretty limited in where you can mount the radiator due to the somewhat short tubes, depending on the case. In a larger case, the rear exhaust fan is your only option. Just something to keep in mind.

Guys, this is the bleeding edge. Things are going to be messy like this. Don't be day-traders, do it for the long-haul, and don't get married to any one coin.

Buying a GPU for 3D rendering, recommendations?

580s are pretty awesome cards. There is one available with a waterblock for $200 on another forum. I'm not sure if it's a TOS violation to mention it here, but PM me and I'll let you know.

We need to bear in mind that alt-coins are still very much in the early days. BTC is turning into an asset, and the other coins will end up being used for commerce...one day. As much as I DON'T like alt-coins, I'm not a fan of debt-based fiat, either, and alt-coins are going to be here to...

Meh, the whole situation sucks, imo... I'd like to do some 'casual mining' but the GPU prices are nuts. Besides, after btc and ltc, there will be many other CCs that will need to be mined. Like it or not (and I don't) we're not going to run out of cryptos any time soon...

Random musings / questions on this stuff... It seems like BTC is turning into an asset. The more bloated the block chain gets, the more that will be the case, until only server farms can host the blockchain. This makes it favor the "elite" / wealthy over the little guy. With every crypto...
