Watch the bank doesn't pull the plug on you, only real "risk" really by the sounds of it.

I work for them, should be ok, even my departmental director knows I trade bitcoin.

I'm literally making hundreds every day doing this, even after all the transfer fees.

Really?

Affialited links aside and not that I think you're embellishing or anything, but let me know when you moor your yacht!

Yes, really! It doesn't take much to open up the two linked sites and verify that there really is a £50~£100 price difference per bitcoin. In fact, right now, on coinfloor you can buy BTC for £1738, but I'm currently selling BTC at £1933 on cex.io. Seeing as I sent £6k to coinfloor this morning i'm already up over £400 for the day. No yachts, just a Porsche Cayman S, or maybe a Nissan GTR

Thanks both for the info, I need to get it all setup.

I'm looking at Ethereum for a buy and hold investment. Really like the concept of it, need to do some more reading about the devs and liklihood they can deliver on their plans.

I'd be very reluctant to invest in Ethereum at these hyperinflated prices. Wait until the bubble bursts and it drops back to sub $50 at the very least. Or if you insist on buying, do some proper TA and be prepared to sell.

+1 on the Ethereum, tbh I'd be very cautious about taking major positions in ANY crypto atm, as WB points out, bubble bursting, correction, call it what you like, lots are saying one's due, if, when, and if so what magnitude it materialises as we'll never know, but do a lot of research before puling any triggers!

hmmm only getting about 15 mh on a 280x 4gb
not sure if its worth the hassle with this card.

Here is bitcoin since the start of 2012.

We're at point four, which much like points two and three, is in my opinion, nearing the top and the bubble is about to burst. This is mainly because the price rise is going parabolic, and when it does, it tends to crash back down. Just like a jet fighter going up vertical, it will stall and drop.....

Based on the fact that when the bubble burst after point three, it bottomed out near the top of point two, I believe that when four's bubble bursts it'll bottom out near the top of point three. Roughly $1000~$1100.

So buying in at the line, point one, will be my target.

All alt crypto currencies are pumped and hyper inflated right now, the same will happen to all of them, and worse.



Goodluck to anyone thinking of getting involved, especially so if right now.

280X will get 22~23mh/s with the right settings. The card's RAM timings most likely need tuning, that helps a lot in some cases. An overclock to 1200MHz on the core and 1500MHz or higher on the RAM will also be very beneficial.

If you really wanted to I could use my hex editor to fix the RAM timings, you would need to send my your card's BIOS. But even then, 22mh/s will get you very little.

Bear in mind, I have 630mh/s across all my cards and I'm only mining 0.55~ ETH a day, which at $180+ each is still nearly $100 a day right now. So your sole card at 22mh/s should get you about $3.5 a day.

One other very interesting thing to note regarding Ethereum right now.

Due to its current price, the value of Ethereum mined each day is currently higher than Bitcoin. Just another reason why Ethereum cannot sustain these current prices. Before long, someone holding a lot of what they mined is going to dump big.

Ive already upped the core and ram. Was only getting 12.5 before i did.
Ive tried following guides to flash my card, but it didnt like it.
Card is an xfx 280x - maybe ill look into it a bit more.
Its only a 3gb card

Last time it was powered on was july 2015 - i like my imac to much!

I used to have a couple of XFX 280xs and they'd do 22mh/s each quite easily. The key is memory timings. Limit your RAM speed for now to 1500MHz, not a single MHz more as that will use a slacker memory timing strap and reduce mining performance..... Unless you have a modified BIOS to work around that.

flashing a card is easy as anything, just need ATIflash 2.74, then use the command "atiflash.exe -p 0 BIOS.rom" where BIOS.rom is the filename of the ROM to flash.

But no point just flashing any old ROM, you need a custom modified one.

The amount of memory is fine as long as you are over 2GB.

Wonder where this BTC train will stop.

Trading at $2500~$2600 on most Western exchanges.

Over $2800 on Cex.io

Over $3k in Japan

Over $4k in South Korea

I looked at editing my rom, but it seems because of UEFI there is not much I can change - or the guide I am following is out of date!

UEFI won't stop you changing anything.

What type of memory is on your card Hynix AFR, Hynix BFR or Elpida BBBG?

Download and run this, it'll tell you https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6ybetYJ0wwMMi1JaC1rYnJMNWM/view

Get me this info and I'll have a BIOS ready for you tonight.

Knighty, I know you lost money on MtGox when it died 2013/2014

Maybe some light at the end of the tunnel - https://www.reddit.com/r/BitcoinMarkets/comments/6d7tz9/mtgox_now_solvent/

Memory is Hynix AFR
H5GQ2H24AFR

Should I go by the Hashrate reported by miner (15 hash) Claymore
or the effective current hashrate reported by ethermine which is 23?

Your effective hashrate is more accurate for what you will get paid, but they should really be about the same.

I'll have to leave the BIOS until tomorrow night, had a busy day and off to bed now.

no rush
the effecitve hash rate is up & down.
Anything between 14 & 24!
