So according to that site, I'd get 882 hash for my card.

What sort of $$ would that net me?

1400hash got me £600 since the 17th of december...

but I keep forgetting to turn my miner on, and I run it at 700hash while I use the pc


I'm not keeping any of my coins... I'm selling them all

#I don;t think bitcoin will fail... I just don't ever see it becoming mainstream... I might start keeping some.,,

main problem I see with it is, for it to become properly mainstream, countries/banks/financial institutions are going to have to accept it as currency... and why would they do that when they'd have to start from nothing and buy them from a few geeks who would now be worth millions... (can;t remember numbers, but a small % of people own a large % of coins)

instead, they could set up there own electronic/world/decentralised currency... where the people who already have all the money get to decide how it works (and get to make the rest of us trade them real cash for it).... or whatever

I've got a water-cooled 7990... I flashed the bios so there's no power limit now (it's limited to about 500watts stock) but I haven't bothered over clocking it (2 cores, each getting 700hash)

I'll post up my middlecoin graph when I get home and have the link


stay way from the ASIC mining stuff.... they only mine bitcoins, and the bitcoin difficulty is so high it'll take forever to get your money back (ir ever)

bitcoins are sha256, which ACSI/FPGA/whatever can mine really fast

litecoins/didgecoins etc.. are scrypt (a different kind of cryptography) especially made to be hard to mine with anything other than a GFX card
(they use a bit of gfx card ram, where bitcons use next to none)

asci for scrypt coins are starting to come out... but they're crap right now... it'll be a while before they're profitable, and as soon as they are they'll be sucked up by bitcoin millionaires running in data centres who will kill the profitability of scrypt coins...

then some other type of coin will come out, so you can mine that with a gfx card (and on and on)

I keep getting tempted by setting up a gfx mining rig with 5 cards in it... and priced it up a few times... it could do well... or something could change after a week and it would be worthless... it's too hard to say


(check this for profitability of mining bitcoins directly http://www.bitcoinx.com/profit/)


if you stick with middlecoin (of one of the other pools like it) they mine whichever coin is most profitable at the time, sell it for bitcoins and then send you the bitcoins... it's risky to hold onto no-name coins, there's loads of them and there prices are very volatile

A work colleague got in on the pre-order, not due to be delivered for couple of months,

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

it's pretty much accepted as a massive scam :-(

if you google street view there address... it looks like a chip shop with an "alpha technology" sign over the door instead of a chip shop sign

if they do come out... then they might pay out pretty well...

problem is when things like this came out for bitcoins... the people selling them held onto them and ran them for months before posting them out... chances are the same thing might happen again :-(

Noted, the guy's aware of the gamble he's taking. Will be interesting to see if it pans out.

How should this be read? Trying to do some maths on kh/s into BTC's average but failing to do so.


I'm thinking of buying an R9 280X 11221-00-40G (740kH/s) and trying it in an old rig I've got. Hopefully I'll at least break even on the investment if it runs for a month (£220 on Amazon at the moment).

Any pointers?

now I think about it... I'm tempted again to go buying lots of cards.... :-o

4 of those cards (£880), a quad Xfire mobo (£90) and a decent 1100w PSU (£150) is about as good as it gets in a single rig £/kH from what I can see. About 3000kh/s for £1200ish.

Annoyingly I've just been investigating my parts collection and the ~unused mobo I was going to use wont post so it raises the entry cost for me. Also not sure I have anywhere I can both run a screaming rig and keep it cool. Safety wife and inquisitive toddler be dammed.

you can run 6 cards in one rig... pciex1 slots work just as well for mining

yeah you're right Jamie... I might take the plunge :-o
