Title: 1 x R9 280x - Is anything profitable to mine? Post by: amorak on February 15, 2015, 07:07:30 PM I mined alt-coins (LTC, etc) up until about a year ago, and stopped... Looking to see if anything is profitable to mine with a single R9 280x any more? Thoughts? Any recommendations on pools to join?

if you setup correctly, and if using passkey in folding@home it is maybe profitable after 10 Work Units and bonus points. it can be not-so-bad comparing to other coins using 1 7970 and 1 280x today i earned 2000 fldc can right now sell for 156 satoshis in 'bid price' - for 0.00312 BTC don't know if it covers electricity, depends on your price for me it doesn't Title: Re: 1 x R9 280x - Is anything profitable to mine?

right now it maybe won't cover electricity if BTC will rise - it will at long term running folding@home and getting payed for it, is great Title: Re: 1 x R9 280x - Is anything profitable to mine? Post by: amacar on February 24, 2015, 07:35:58 PM R9 280x is basically the same as 7970, so look in this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=959512.0

Title: Re: 1 x R9 280x - Is anything profitable to mine? Post by: brekyrself on February 24, 2015, 08:12:40 PM Mine on a multi pool that picks the most profitable coin for you. The MineBitShares multi pool pays out in BitUSD which will always = usd, hence do not need to worry about day to day volatility. Trade the BitUSD for anything you want later on such as BitShares, BitGold, BitEuro etc... on the internal market or exchange on a 3rd party market for btc.
