1  Economy / Computer hardware / WTB [US] 3-4x r9 280x/290/290x litecoin miner on: December 23, 2013, 04:55:17 PM
I am looking to buy a litcoin miner, with windows and 3-4 GPU's either 280x or 290 or 290x's.
If anyone is selling or knows where I could find a machine such as this, that would be great.

Or if anyone could link me to a nice ore hilt that would bring in a nice profit, that would be great. (2-3k range)

Would it be viable to mine litecoins in my specific case? The hardware i would be using is 3x r9 280x, would it be profitable, I could buy that hardware in the $2000-2500 range.

All help is appreciated.

Didn't mean to add a poll, but it was required for some reason.

I would strongly recommend going with scrypt mining rather than SHA256 mining.

Its easier to mine scrypt alt coins than exchange them for LTC or BTC. Works out to be better return than just mining BTC with asics.

E.g. Dogecoin or Earthcoin (now). Mining around millions of coins per day with a $3k GPU mining rig. Easily dump them for $hundreds when it hits exchange. No way you will get those types of return for mining BTC. Especially when 2 ~ 3 THash machines are going to start shipping soon. Your asic will simply get eliminated by the amount of difficulty it will bring.
So would 4 r9 280x be a solid rig? I actually have 3 currently and could easily get another. By the way the CPU is not important, correct?

Also how do you feel about peercoin?

Thanks for all the help.

I am looking to buy a ASIC mining machine, to mine bitcoins and maybe even peercoins. Are either of these possible to make a profit on, or is the idea no longer viable, if so any idea of the likely profit?

Also can you recommend an ASIC machine at $2000 and $3000.

I really appreciate the help, thanks.
