Title: Hey there, is Novacoin a scam?!?/LTC Vardiff 7950 and 5770
Post by: Denna on September 25, 2013, 06:59:16 PM
Hey there,
Iīm new to the side and and the hole Cryptocurrency thing. I was mining Bitcoin for a few hours before I realized that itīs a waste of power, and switched to Lightcoin. Now I thing about mining fethercoins or Novacoins but If got a question properly asked many times.

Is Novacoin a scam?!?

And my second question is:

If got a 7950 mining now and I am going to buy a new mainbord with more than one PCIe port and I have a old 5770.
Am I able to mine with both of this to cards together ?!?
The 7950 makes 680kh/s and the 5770 only 180kh/s.
I guess the difficulty of 95 for my 7950 is way to much for the 5770 so when the 5770 is done with a calculation it is most likely to be Invalid.

Sry for my bad English and the lag of Crypto knowledge.

There are many different cryptocurrencies out there, and lots of differing opinions on if they are all scams or legit, so it's really up to you to decide.  As for mining, you should be able to mine with 2 cards on the same motherboard, provided that your PSU has enough power and connectors for it.

Tank you for the fast reply if heard a lot of bad stuff about Novacoin so my question is more like:
Is the system safe, and am I able to withdraw my coins easy or exchange them.

You've got pretty good system specs, so you should be good.  There's a lot of reputable exchanges out there (I use Cryptsy) that wil be able to exchange your altcoins for BTC or other altcoins.  Never used it myself, but http://livelitecoinpoker.com/ looks like a pretty safe bet for Litecoin poker.

I canīt wait to get rid of the old board and DDR2 RAM.
Going to buy the ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0 and hope to push my old  Phenom to 4Ghz ;)
The poker side looks good and I will give it a try and mine a few Novacoins.
