Please share your speeds of  
R9 280X (R7970) 3GB 384 BIT GDDR5
AMD Sapphire R9 280X VaporX Edition
XFX Double Dissipation R9 290 4GB 512 Bits OC

Thanks

R9 290 4GB 230 H/s
All stock

Try 1100 Core and 1125 Mem..  My ref cards do 250-255

Have you raised the memory frequency to 1250? Does it make any difference? I heard the Equihash is memory sensitive.

i'm looking to add another another card to my measly one r9 280.  is there much difference in sols between a 470 8gb & 480 8gb card?

RX470 ~160 H/s
RX480 ~175 H/s

Claymore v7, intensity setting (-i) 4

Not too much difference yet. 470 is cheaper and more efficient than 480.

Thankyou for that.  I was thinking the 470 seems to be more cost effective at the moment but wanted to double check.  I will be replacing my 280 so will a 550w PSU be enough or should I upgrade that as well?

That PSU will be enough for the 2 cards.

And you can save money on the 470 if you choose the 4GB version. Nearly 0 difference in hashrate.
I'm running 4xRX470 with a 650w psu, using 450w @ the wall

Edit : with -cclock 1100 -mclock 2000 -cvddc 875 -mvddc 900 -tt 60 , and getting 140H/s per card

That is 450W for the 560 H/s. Or 0.8J/H. That is very efficient and more efficient than most CPUs as I can see.
703  Economy / Economics / Re: Sell Everything? on: October 26, 2016, 04:58:09 PM
I'm not saying they are wrong, but I do want to address a problem with those claims:

Alarmists have been saying for centuries (no exaggeration) that technology will wipe out jobs and make it impossible to make a living. Each time, they have been wrong. Technology has lead to increased standards of living and more job creation. Yes, outdated jobs are destroyed, but they are replaced with new, often better paying, ones.

I'm inclined to agree with you, that the alarmist warnings about job destruction are overblown, but the trend is certainly real. Automation and technology reduces the need for human employment. The economy shifts and people find new industries, but this shift is not unlimited. There will not be new jobs simply because there are more unemployed people, there has to be economic need for the employment. Manufacturing jobs are decreasing, and the American economy has adapted with an increase in service jobs, but there is not an unlimited need for service jobs. I think you're saying that with lower than average employment participation rates in the American economy, even though the economy has largely "recovered" and continues to improve. With that said, I think the alarmist warning is overblown because this is a trend that, while accelerating, still takes decades to play out. We're not in danger of having massive unemployment on account of technology in the next 10 or 20 years, though it certainly gets incrementally worse as time goes on.
I dont know why do you want to sell everything to gether i dont know why you want that because selling everything means that you cant hold some for later when the price of the bitcoin is going to rise allot you know!

You can invest this money in other thing more rentable and well, we never know, tomorrow Bitcoin can disapear or the price can go to $1 USD again also some people need this money for some reason and can't hold it for a longer time...

It is better to buy some graphics cards to mine the altcoins. If there is no more coin to mine, you can still sell the cards.
704  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: HD7990 Lost 1 GPU on: October 21, 2016, 04:46:20 PM
You may flip the BIOS switch on top of the card to see if it is BIOS related. Or you can change the PCIE slot.

No effect!

Can you see it in the device manager? If not, then it is dead. Some times it is in the other device section when it is not recognized.
705  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-10-01] Incent to Reinvigorate the Loyalty-Rewards Industry with Blockchain on: October 01, 2016, 05:12:25 PM
"The offering of companies reward schemes are little more than barter between companies and the customers, with consumers not receiving goods or services they actually want. Although the penetration of loyalty schemes and reward programs is very high, the actual use of these cards and schemes is around one-third of all users, meaning over 60 percent remain inactive.
Incent wants to take aim at this inefficiency and improve the value proposition offered to consumers with loyalty and reward schemes, proposing a shared-loyalty scheme where retailers can make use of a low-cost loyalty-as-a-service solution and still retain control over the deals to suit their audience and mark-ups.
The platform is comprised of three components; Incent, the tradeable token, a consumer-facing digital wallet, and a merchant dashboard embedding analytics and customer retention management tools.
The Incent concept is based around the idea of a loyalty margin, the difference between the benefits a consumer receives from a company and the cost to the company to run the loyalty scheme. The nature of the loyalty margin varies from industry to industry; for example, airlines and hotels have the largest loyalty margin as the marginal cost of offering an empty seat or room to a customer is relatively low. Compare this with consumer goods, and any offer means a loss in future sales revenue and some additional tax liabilities.
Thin loyalty margins are to blame for commerce’s inability to engage customers with reward schemes. By buffing up this margin, the Incent platform hopes to instill an ability to entice customers and drive repeat engagement for retailers.
Moreover, the reward currency with which a merchant uses to run their loyalty program at present possesses no value outside of their business, consequently representing a recordable tax liability, which is a major factor motivating expiry deadlines with such programs. Also, since the reward points have no value outside their business, consumers cannot exchange reward points for items they may actually want, with the company limited to offerings from their own range of products.
The Incent network has identified this as a major problem with the rewards and loyalty schemes. Such schemes are a not too dissimilar to a bartering process, where the fragmentation of rewards means there is no common currency for exchange, limiting the benefits enjoyed by the consumer and reducing the loyalty margin.
By introducing a token that can be exchanged for fiat currency, for goods and services across a range of retailers or share with their friends, merchants are relieved of any tax liabilities and consumers can be rewarded according to their preferences, driving large efficiency gains. 
 
Rewards on the Blockchain
Incent is combining different technologies to achieve their goal to promote mainstream adoption of cryptocurrency through the exploitation of inefficiencies in the loyalty-reward industry. One of the key technologies behind Incent is the blockchain.
In selecting an infrastructure partner, WAVES was an obvious choice for Incent due to the proof of stake characteristic and the desirable functionality, including asset exchanges and fiat gateways. Since the WAVES blockchain makes it possible to create a digital asset that act as money and possesses a greater utility to consumers, a scalable rewards solution can be made available where the only cost to commercial participants is the monetary rewards they wish to offer as an incentive."
706  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitfinex asks users to help in Recovery on: September 21, 2016, 05:12:07 PM
is there any logical reason for someone to use Bitfnex after they fucked their clients? NOPE but still many are using them Smiley

Some people have some serious Stockholm Syndrome around Bitfinex. Others are just desperate gamblers who want a piece of the BFX market and access to margin. I don't think these people realize that Bitfinex's problems are not over...

Pretty much.  It could be argued that, in the short term at least, Bitfinex will be more conscious about their security and faster to hunt down any other vulnerabilities they might have.  But it's only a matter of time before complacency sets in again and some motivated attacker gets the better of their defences.  Definitely more a question of 'when' than 'if'.

I think the hack could be an inside job. The exchange lost 1/3 of its funds in a day. Does it not realise that it is big amount to withdraw?
707  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitfinex asks users to help in Recovery on: September 11, 2016, 11:29:31 AM
BFX up ! Over 0.5 !

Any reason for that?
708  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: how much vga can i use in 1 computer/windows/linux ? on: August 25, 2016, 05:33:49 PM
For the AMD cards on the windows, the maximum GPU you can have is 8 in a system. In linux, you can have more.

i remember that a mod can allow you to have more than  8, or is that mod that allow you maximum of 8 gpu? but also isn't dangerous to have that many for the motherboard, it can not sustain that wattage

That was the lbr mod, for up to 8 GPU. There is 8 GPU limit on the Windows for the AMD cards. For certain boards, you can have 4x7990 without the mod.
709  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Bitfinex asks users to help in Recovery on: August 08, 2016, 06:02:47 PM
giving them a time is fine but if it's about the money, i guess the one who make the mistake here is the company and not the client,so,if they're asking about the money or cutting client's fund until 36%,doesn't make sense at all

I think the Bitfinex should take the loss. It should let the client take over the company if it does not want to declare bankrupt.
710  Economy / Speculation / Re: How can we make bitcoin's price only RISE and never FALL? on: July 26, 2016, 07:31:57 AM
Huh? theres nothing like that. Its impossible for price not to drop even a small amount. Fall is always there after a rise and rise is always there after a fall thats how price works, economy rather.

I think it is possbile for the bitcoin price to rise year after year if there is no big bubble. But it is difficult for it to rise day after day.
711  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BREAKING NEWS: DAO Attacker Identified!! on: July 11, 2016, 12:41:19 PM
Can the DAO attacker's lawyer team stop the hard fork/soft fork from happening? If the majority of the community decide to pursue a hard fork, who would the lawyer to after?

Why should he? Much better to allow the HF to continue and thus for ETH to decline to 0, while he is shorting it all the way down.
#

If you are so certain, then you should also make some money by shorting the Ethereum. The price is down now.
712  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: Bitcoin was ‘Good as Gold’ in the Brexit on: June 27, 2016, 03:16:31 PM
I doubt people bought into the fact that bitcoin is as safe as gold as an investment. I wonder how much of an effect did bitcoin see due to Brexit. Prices didn't seem to move at all.

I noticed the same. The price did not change much. If 0.001% of the Bristish Pounds change into bitcoin, its price will be $100000.
713  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think for May??? on: June 13, 2016, 09:58:32 AM
The May 2016 is quite good. The first half continued to consolidate the price. The price half raised the price.
714  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think for May??? on: May 28, 2016, 05:18:40 PM
It is later May already. The bitcoin price has breached $500 at some point. So I think it will stay around $500.
715  Economy / Speculation / Re: How can we make bitcoin's price only RISE and never FALL? on: May 14, 2016, 01:25:22 PM
The only ones that can make it rise (at a rapid rate) are the ones who hold the most. Thus the whales are the ones that influence it's price and not the small players in this game of high volatility.

If Warren Buffet spends $100 million to buy ~10,000 coins, then the bitoin price will rise very very high.
716  Economy / Speculation / Re: What do you think for May??? on: May 01, 2016, 10:00:28 AM
If the price stays between the $450 and $480, consolidates for about a months, then it is good for the next stage.
717  Economy / Speculation / Re: How can we make bitcoin's price only RISE and never FALL? on: April 17, 2016, 07:03:27 PM
We can make the bitcoin price rises every year, and do not fall. But we cannot let any pump and dump happen.
718  Economy / Speculation / Re: why I bought on: April 08, 2016, 04:44:17 PM
I also bought the bitcoins because it has a good future and its growing very fast, you can make profit with it easily these days.
I also trade with it so that is why I bought them, I really have faith in the bitcoin itself.

I bought bitcoin as a investment for the future as well for future usage, because without doubt bitcoin will evolve as a digital currency when years pass.

Bitcoin is a good investment now. In a few decades, it will be the most used currency in the whole world.
719  Economy / Exchanges / Re: Is the lending section of Poloniex risk free on: March 26, 2016, 01:47:47 PM
Well in the past i were just trading altcoins with my bitcoins ,buying and selling till the day they offer the loan service and after a deep research its 99.9%safe to lend your bitcoins as no one can withdraw any cent before pay the loans,and to get a loan they need to put some coin into margin trade,that works like colateral,the usually interest is under 0,05% but these days with market of altcoins hot,being eth one of the involved the interest has achieve 1% and above .

i got interested in poloniex when i saw their daily volume and the lending thing. when we say 1% interest rate is that per day or what?

It is per day interest.
720  Economy / Speculation / Re: why I bought on: March 02, 2016, 11:19:00 AM
oh, i won't sell now atleast, and you did a good thing by buying bitcoins, price for bitcoins will keep growing, so longer you will keep them, more you will get later

the present price of bitcoin at $435 is too cheap. I will not sell at this price. In fact, I will buy more when I can.
