Hi, I have following rig with:
•4 x Sapphire Radeon R9 290 graphics cards
•AMD Sempron(tm) 145 Processor 2.80 GHz
•Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard
•RipjawsX DDR3 16GB installed Memory
•WD 320GB Hard disk
•ThermalTake ToughpowerXT GOLD 80plus 1475W power supply
•Windows 7 Home Edition 64bit operating system.
I used to mine ETC using claymores miner but stopped due to costs and also no foreseeable potential of ETC price rocketing!!!
I was wondering if there is anything I can usefully still mine? I can take a loss so long as I see potential for the coin price growth.
I would like to mine GRIN but not sure if the graphics card supports the level of power needed for this.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.
I have 2 R9 290s,mining grin one does 2.5Gps, another does 2.77, I'll be trying to figure that out later. It's lower power than eth, but I'm not sure by how much as my kill-a-watt is dead. It will work on linux (tested with SMOS myself), it might work on windows 7, but not windows 10. On Linux you can get 27-31MH/s on ethash (vs the 20-24 on windows) too. My experience mining cryptonight variants on my 290s has been.. well I'm only getting 700 or so H/s. Grin was definitely making me more profit, and eth classic making the most revenue and maybe profit. You need to use Hawaii Bios Editor to do any overclocking/undervolting you want if using them on linux. edit: lolminer is miner to use for grin on AMD. edit2: Less typical or efficient algos the 290s can do are: the equihash variants, like zhash, BEAM, and I believe Aion but I didn't test that one myself. I believe mine were outperforming my RX 580 on BEAM, too, but I've only tested on linux. Windows 7 may work the same even though it doesn't get the memory management benefits of linux, where the ethash performance difference comes from. They can do the C31 algo, for grin, as well with lolminer but only at .27 gps, though they ran fairly cool when mining that so power efficiency may be better there. When you get the 2.5-2.77 GPS, do you use the Linux only? What are the CPUs you used in the system? |

It was answered, that the bull run was not present at the end of December 2018. Then do you still have other predictions? While the crypto market is still often red. Be patient..
no body know when the real bull will coming back to cryptocurrencies but, personally i still believe if in the future bitcoin and altcoins price will growing, even touch the new high level my friend I think the bull run just started. the BTC and BCH both rose a lot recently. |

actually I was tired of holding on to holding these tokens and coins, which used to be very high now with a very unstable market condition, I was still excited to wait for the market to return to green
I think it will take about 6 months for the market to resume long term upper trend. |

I believe in the future of crypto and I am the only one from my friends and colleagues to have my miner still on. They all gave up by now.
I also hope that the price to go down even more until end of December and I hope to buy 2-3 mining rigs together for 2000 Euro which was the price of one in the beginning of this year. I believe in crypto unconditionally.
I also beleive its going to come back with a vengeance. Now everything is on amazing discount. Buying BTC when it hits the bottom is a no brainer for me. BTC is the safest bet probably as it will always be a store of value. As for GPU mining, if you believe that it will have a comeback then its good time to buy used GPUs. Otherwise don't. FGPA started to seriously affect the mining. Although I did not expect them to. For the time being, it is better to buy the coins directly than mining if you have to pay for electricity. |

It's important to be patient, but how long? As long as i have coins which i trust, i have patience. But this is not the case for low-value coins that are worthless.
Save our coins with a long time sometimes makes us bored and want to sell it, but believe me, if the coin is a potential then hold it is the best solution for long-term investment, because potential coins are always there will add new features in the future which make the price going up. I saved some Bitcoin Cash for the long time, and did not sell last week. It dropped a lot in the last few days. |

Many say patience is the key to success, but we also need to cultivate if the good opportunity comes then just take it, then using patience and good opportunities is wiser. Hold the coins we have until the opportunity is good and take action to get a profit.
Do you think the good opportunities have come for the coins like Ethereum, Bitcoin Cash or lite coin? |

Wow, I have been away from this space for several months but have 8 x 280's mining Zec - my pool shows estimated earnings of 0.2 zec / month. What on earth happened? After a quick look around it appears that Zec allowed ASIC mining - that appears to have killed off my GPU mining profitability... I am probably loosing 3-4 USD per day.
I have just shut down my miners for this reason - I will need to look for something else to mine. Anyone have any advice?
Many thanks
280, damn thats vintage  With current prices there is no stable coin that would return you instant profit. I have to undervolt a lot to use the 280 to mine XMR. |

I want to stay relax, but I can not stay calm when the coins I have 20% per day. The biggest mistake that make the panic sale is, so I'm looking forward to saying hodl for a long time and will not make sales before the rise If you think you cannot relax after purchasing the coins, it is better not to buy. |

Does it use more power than the other miners?

I've been reading through this forums for the past few weeks and all I see is "this coin is dead" or "everything is a shit coin". Is there any alt coin with potential to invest in or is it only bitcoin? I don't mean like a few here and there, I mean over 100 coins.
Now it is worth buying ETH and keeping coins until the end of the year. Or you can try some of the money to invest in EOS. Bitcoin Cash or the Ethereum or ETC could also be a good buy. |

Invest now in EOS. It is very likely that in two years this coin will be as popular as ETH. EOS is not mineable, so the value is not as well supported as the ETH. |

Invest now in ETH and as the market recovers you can easily make a profit. Now this is the best option.
The ETH price has dropped a lot recently. It might be in the range of investable. So could be true for BCH. |
|

The best alt coins that i can think of are probably Ripple, Litecoin, Ethereum, and Monero. Also now that the market has fallen off a little bit its a great opportunity to join in and start increasing your stock pile of coins.
Maybe we shall only accumulate good coins with large market cap, they are more stable. |

I would advise you to invest in EOS because this coin has a good potential and the EOS network was recently launched. I think this coin will continue to develop.
There are too few usage in EOS. It is better to wait a few months before investing. |

So far infrastructure coins were the best investments. EOS, Icon and lately my personal favourite Zilliqa (which is the best one out there nowadays IMO). However, today you can find a project which promises 1M tsp in every corner... time to move on and focus on real projects, blokchain infrastructure is getting ready soon (wait for 2nd 3rd generation blockchain to release mainnet).
The problem is that the other coins such as bitcoin cash or ZEC can be used used in side chains having similar function as the EOS. |

Ethereum always had two big problems: Governance and Turing-completeness. I would put my money on XCP instead.
Do you think BCH has similar problems? |

What do ya think. Bitcoin straddled 8000 last night but failed to break down further, now it's made a couple $100 jumps up today. Have we seen <$8000 for the last time? Are we heading back to challenge $10k by the end of the month?
Don't stop believing that one day bitcoin will reach again the $8,000 or above, because this coin is unpredictable sometimes it is grow up so fast but most of the time it was fall down. However I never forget that one day bitcoin reach $20,000 and I believe that it will happen again, so I cannot withdraw my investment instead I was continue investing for their future value. It is very possible the bitcoin will reach higher price if the lighthing network works properly. |

I think we cannot hit the 10k price because bitcoin down now at 7k price and we still hoping that we survive this down price. The best we can do now is still buy bitcoin even it's volatile now. Just be patient. In a few months, the price will be $10.000 or higher. |

Bitcoin will increase 20000 in end of the year
Bitcoin is decentralised cryptocurrency so it will pump or dump both are possible in anytime. Most of the experts are said Bitcoin will reach more the 20k USD is possible so know we should expect the stable market in forever but we should supporting in Bitcoin then only market is recover in completely. If we have more usage of the bitcoin as a currency, then the price could be more if there are more users. |

Of cource, or how he test their product in real conditions
Its like the engineering samples of cpu's by intel, this type of machines bitmain will leave for himself
I think they have tested theirs in the last 6 months. It is quite long. |
