Cryptocoin Mining?

[Freaksterz]

What is the next coin to pump and dump ? Any idea? Mining Doge seems like a waste of energy, Although Electricity is free here (Paying ~0.04$/kWh in Egypt).

 

[Mark R]

Is ANY exchange taking AKC yet?!?!!? Good god...

Nope.

Coin appears to be dead. Dev has disappeared. Some PR dude is trying to take over the coin in exchange for a ton of BTC.

I've given up trying to sell mine. There are NO buyers at all, at any price (at least, none that I can find).

I'm just bathing in all my AKC. sooo niiiccceeee...

Nyancoin? I'm mining that. Join http://fortynyaners.com/ if you do. They need more hash rate. I don't like joining the huge pools because of 51% attack and the block reward is spread with too many people.

Coinwarz is saying that BBQCoin is becoming profitable to mine again.

Ah... BBQCoin. One of the original pump and dump coins... you can't go wrong with a classic

wtf bbq?

Yay got my R9 270x

Running N-Scrypt, I get 191khs
Scrypt gets me 450khs

Dev handed it off to poolminedev or whatever his name is. "PR" dude is apparently not authorized to be PR, so he's just trying to score some free AKC...

I'm not hopeful that a new dev team and marketing approach/rebrand will do the trick, but I'm just mining AKC for the lulz.

Also working on setting up my water cooled 290 rig. After how much of a pain it has been to set up, I say screw water cooling for mining rigs - just get riser cables, it's such a pain in the rear to set up a full custom loop. Spent all afternoon and still working on it. Then again, it's for my gaming rig so it was purely for performance reasons...

What have you had trouble with?

A lot of these guys just don't have the spine, endurance or patience to make it work. Hopefully these are the last of scam coins that actually make money and we can move forward with something a little more ..... genuine.

Sold all my PANDA and KOI. Deleted wallets and blockchains. GTFO! Sold all my TOP as well....

It's really odd seeing the huge buy orders @ 1 satoshi for KOI. TOP @ as huge support @ 5 Satoshi. PANDA has quite a bit of buy orders.... who would want this garbage? FWIW, I don't think TOP is as much of a "scamcoin" @ the other 2.

So what's everyone mining?

CUrrently all my rigs are mining PTS. Pull about 3 PTS a day.

Then will switch back to either Mint or Dark after 28th.

Very happy to have mined Mint during the first week and now watching it take off.

Now wish the same would happen to IFC, Moon and Tips.

Surprisingly, I'm still mining Panda. :whiste:

And I'm going to mine Rubycoin when it launches on Monday.

I know, I'm an amateur loser.

What kinda loop are you building?

 

[Torn Mind]

I'm mining Karmacoin. I won't have to worry about losing too much if the exchange rate tanks since it is already low.

FINALLY..got my Ubuntu PTS miner for the 290s up and running. Took a while cause I'm a linux noob!!

290s hashing away at ~3500cpm at stock settings. Satisfied with that.

If anyone any other linux noobs need tips let me know.

Wish there was something like Afterburner to set fan speeds and monitor temps though...I'm doing it all by terminal which is a pain.

I wrote my own program for that

Of course you're still at the mercy of the individual bios/board vendors
impossible to track every superio chip they use and the different quirks for communicating with each one.
I just use the standard AMD ADL_SDK
I havn't updated the program in awhile now, so I need to push a release to work with newer gtk/gthreads
lemme know if you're interested

What have you had trouble with?

Not really anything in particular - it's just that it's very time consuming.

What kinda loop are you building?

XSPC Photon D5 --> EK Blocks for 2x290s (parallel bridge) --> XSPC EX420 Rad with 3x140mm --> XSPC EX420 Rad #2 with 3x140mm --> back to pump

Then a Swiftech H220 kit for my CPU loop.

Now that I've got it all up and running I am quite pleased. My 290s are hashing away at 870 kH/s scrypt, each @ 47C with a power usage of 220W each.

 

[Brekyrself]

Mining PTS until all 2m are mined is not a bad idea. Invictus plans on releasing additional DAC's which will honor PTS and AngelShares.

Other people are also planning on launching dac's which honor the same setup.

Amazing what running at lower temps do to power usage! R290s get 840 @ 300W at stock!

How are you measuring the power per card? At the wall or at the card? (I.e. are the pump and radiator fans included in those calculations?)

 

[Erenhardt]

Im solo mining vertcoin at vert.poolminewith.us
Will take forever to find a block. If anyone have a spare hashing power, don't be shy

 

[pandemonium]

Likely not. The cards are still pulling more power, just not running as hot. Otherwise that'd be some thermal dynamics magic happening there. >.<

It's not magic, its ICs having less leakage at lower temps.

 

[frowertr]

Guess I'm still sticking with MAX for now. With the diff falling, I'm getting ~200 coins a day which comes out to around $150/day.

Not seeing any viable alternatives right now that are paying higher.

 

[24601]

The stock blower draws a ton of power.

Most of the actual efficiency gain is from bringing the VRMs to extremely low temperatures, raising their efficiency massively.

It's no coincidence that the 290/x has the hardest VRM array to cool of any current reference card. Cooling it to very low temperatures pays dividends in multiple multiplicative ways.
