Go for the 290 because of performance vs price. The 290x is much more expensive.

Do anyone manage to get a hold of a R9 290? What`s the hashrate on that?
The 290X pretty much sucks compared to the 280X.

How does this face-to-face transactions are done? I mean, OK, I'll bring USD 500 and you'll give me the equivalent in BTC. But how? A mobile application?

Gigabyte 990FX-UD7 is better. Full-size slots = more hashing power.

And yes too late! Maybe Intel will come up with Bitcoin mining CPU?

tried finding some answers on this but couldn't seem to find anything.

i have got 11 block erupts running 24/7 through a raspberry pi and i am mining on slushs pool. My brother complained the internet was really slow and blamed my miners, saying they had used 200GB IN ONE WEEK!!

so basically i am asking how much data/bandwith would 11 block erupters use up in general. because 200GB in one week is a bit ridiculous and i need facts to prove him wrong, or my miners get booted off the network!!!!

thanks in advance to anyone who knows

so, i'm not that old, about 13, i don't have a job and i don't have a lot of savings to invest.......

after a huge amount of research, and in a moment of madness i withdraw from my college fund, which is technically mine although its my parents who pay into into it.

i've managed to buy 12 bitcoins. i'll be holding these indefinitely, even if the btc price drops 90%. no trading, although i may sell x amount to cover my expenses if things go well.

please reassure me i've done good?

and is 12 btc a good position?

and no lectures.

thanks
