Just curious as to what most folks on here are still using for mining, like how many and what kind of GPU's? I'm bummed I didn't keep up my mining efforts when I played around with it last summer

What's the best way to sell coins these days? I mined about a year ago, but never actually sold anything. Glad I didn't because of the insane price right now, but I have no idea how to sell the coins I have earned now.
ive have reaper running stable (so far) on my 7870. but to do so the aggression is stupid low at 11. anything higher crashes out the video driver. so its only getting half the speed i know it can get.
im using the latest non beta cats, may zwap down to the 12.8 driver to see if that changes anything.
Go to stock clocks and see if you are still crashing. I'm running the latest Reaper with 7950s, 13.3 beta and aggression 20, and I get no crashes.
Also, it can crash not only because of aggression settings but other settings you have in the config file.
ill check the rest of the settings, but everything ive messed with so far has made no difference, except for agression.
ill update to beta3 drivers first and see how that goes too.
oh... clock speeds are bone stock too.
I sold 1.6 coins for 142.4 that is 89 a coin!
Wow Chiropteran, thats a lot of cards. What sort of m/hash are you able to get from them? How is your electricity bill? I was able to get 300 m/hash from my single 5830 when I played around with bitcoins months ago.
How long would it take a 7970 to mine 1 bitcoin?
What? You could potentially make $400 a month with a single 7970? That can't be right, the damn card can be purchased for less?
1 week at current difficulty
Your ballpark seems about right at 550mh, but a 7970 should to 600-650mh, depending on overclock. A 7950 at similar core speeds will do 500-550mh.That is way off. A 7970 mining at roughly 550 mhash will take closer to 3-3.5 weeks to mine one coin.

Per the profit calculator as of right now, the breakeven on a single 7970 should be 77-85 days at (600-650mh assuming 1000-1100mhz clock, cost of $270, BTC at $91, $0.15 per KWh, 200w system power, YMMV). The cost is even less and the breakeven is shorter if you can sell the included game codes.
