Guys being out mining for about half a year now. Want get back into it but not sure what to do with my Rig is it still any good now this super machines are out and what can i earn with it?.
I Have 8 R 9 290 Cards
Any advice please thanks  ???

Not a bad rig at all, if the electricity cost in your country is low you can use them to instamine some new coins and earn some profit.

In the UK pal but can get free electric.

Hardware is too expensive, prices aren't that low, so I wouldn't buy a new RIG to replace yours..

I think yours is ok, even today, because people don't buy new mining hardware every two months, and there is no flood of new users.

Any idea what i should mine as was mining scrypt before and what i might expect to take a day roughly? Thanks guys

Snuckles forget scrypt, seriously just forget it for profits.

You need to be mining x11/x13 coins right now. Download BAMT, a very easy mining OS that will have the drivers for your cards already installed and all the mining programs that willl you need. Once you open bamt you should configure your pools to run on trademybit.com for the best profits because they auto switch between the most profitable x11/x13 coins and you can eitheir keep those coins, or let them auto trade them into BTC for you.

Also, I mine a lot on Dedicated Pools, they have the newest x11/x13 coins at launch, and very often these are profitable to mine.


So yea, forget scrypt coins like dogecoin or litecoin, thats a waste right now.

This, unless OP wanna put a lot of money on ASICS, or try to gamble mining brand new scrypt coins

Owning eight R9 290 makes you one of the 1% in Bitcointalk's mining world.
As someone mentioned earlier, instamining is your best bet. Look out for low difficulty coins as well.

safe bet would also be renting them to rentingrigs companies
