i have 4x gigabyte 280x and i have a 1500w evga. it has a usb powered stat reader. says im pulling 1450 - 1500 from the wall and about 1250 - 1300 used.
[/quote]How much do you get on the gigabyte 280x ?
I cant get them faster then 725KH/s (Xubuntu with cgminer 3.7)./cgminer --scrypt -o xxx -u xxx -p xxx -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 11200 --lookup-gap 2 --api-listen --api-network --auto-fan --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1047 --shaders 2048 --gpu-powertune 20
-
i get about the same. i volt to 1050 and -20 powertune. my clock and mem is the same.
-
This is crazy! You’ll be mining at over 10m hash!! You can make 200 coins per day!
-
Heh? Thanks to all the litecoin articles, R9 280x raised to $400 from $330 in NCIX. I don’t think I can afford one anytime soon.

[/quote]I’m making over 225 coins per day at 11MH/s.
Celebrated passing the first 1000 coin marker yesterday with a beer (and my girlfriend who still thinks i’m bonkers)
Next target is 10.000 coins which would take the Moet bottle out of the closet :-) -
Spend some Ftc on nice clothing or jewelry for her. I bet this will change her mind ;)

[/quote]yup! :) -
I promised her 10% of the coins and told her about what happened to Bitcoin going up from $0.20 to $900.
That kept her glazing at me and stuttering… howhowhowmanymillion ? :-)
I think that will keep her quiet for a while ;-)

[/quote][b]Yes, I was listening half year my wife:[/b]
When you finally make some money? This is waste of time. You promise me to quit in January if you dont make any money.Then I made my anual salary by trading BTC and FTC in one month, ordered a new car and said my boss I want to quit.
Now she is quiet :) -
I told her to go fiat after 50,000 coins so that it would take a while :-)
She replied that another brand then Fiat (car) was also fine by then…
Sigh…women… :-0 -

Do you?

No, I think you’re going to get a great hashrate… -
are those the best graphic cards to get? i am wanting to build something that can mine very very well, but not sure what the top of the line items are this month… any help on mother board, cards, cpu would be helpful
-
Top of the line are R9 290 or 290x cards. Hard to get and pretty expensive by now.
-
Yes because historically miners would have been better off using their funds to buy coins directly rather than mining them. But I always say it’s better to go for a diversified approach and perhaps this only represents 50% of your investment 8)

We had a comment on Twitter from [url=https://twitter.com/amirmann]@amirmann[/url] in response to this:
@Feathercoin are you happy with these PowerColor cards ? I hate mine, they got so hot and give low hashrate

Nice to see more serious miner, smart move VEX seems I am half as crazy now, I have a similar setup with 36 GPU’s 7950 & 7970s
Pledge you will not mine other coins but Feathercoins
Good Luck Mining

[/quote]Ok… but let’s be clear on this.
This scenario only plays out when you mine the coins, and then hold on to them for a LONG time.
If you cash out in 6 months, or the next time the market takes a major dip, WHICH IT WILL DO, you’re literally throwing your upside potential down the drain.
Mining is great. It’s a great way to add value to your currency. But the only way to maximize that value is to hold onto them for the long haul, and push for their adoption.
-
I’ll hold on to them for a while :-)
Maybe splitting them up into 25%BTC, 25%LTC and keep the rest 50% in FTC. -
been out a while, it’s been crazy time to set this all up. Couple of bad mobos, kid, wife, daily job, setting this up remotely… aargh, I just recently moved to another country, barely had time to settle and relax, and I then (of course my wife says) found another hobby.
anyway, powercolor cards are decent, can be undervolted with trixx, giving about 680khash/s on default settings in guiminer. Consuming around 220W @ 1ghz, 1.2V, maybe 10W less when undervolted to 1.04V
I haven’t had time to optimize it in anyway. I promised wife to cash in everything at least until we get 50% ROI.
I found a problem in this alt coin expansion, it’s the switching pools amassing huge hashing power, which can totally kill smaller new coins, difficulty and exchange rate wise, and is very tempting for new miners in this gold rush… but let’s not continue about this in this thread… I’ll make a new topic in appropriate section.
