What I recommend to you is to use at least a gold 1000W PSU. I doesn't cost that more and it will enable you to do whatever you want. I personnaly use a 1000W PSU on my ADM rig, featuring 2x R9 380 and 2x RX 470.

1000W is more than enough for your rig.

I have 5 x 480 undervolted rig with 1000W PSU, and with zec it takes 520W from the wall. So I thing 600 - 750W is enough for 4 x 470.

That is right. If you undervolt, 600W is more than enough.

"The cryptocurrency and blockchain space has grown considerably in the past few years, with heavy investment flowing from both capital investment to a new form of investment called the initial coin offering, or ICO, which is uniquely offered through [Suspicious link removed]panies and their technology.
However, a new form of investment is being made possible through Title III of the JOBS Act, put forth by the Obama Administration in 2012. Airbitz, a single sign-on security platform for blockchain apps, is allowing fans of the technology, or anyone for that matter, to invest in a crowdfunding campaign using Bitcoin.
Originally a business which was mainly focused on the Bitcoin space, Airbitz has seemingly pivoted beyond just Bitcoin as a cryptocurrency and is now expanding its focus to becoming blockchain agnostic with their Airbitz Edge product. Even working with Ethereum-based company Augur, Airbitz is allowing businesses to provide an opportunity for their customers to encrypt and back up private keys associated with their service in a decentralized manner.
The crowdfunding campaign will be executed through Wefunder, an equity crowdfunding website which allows anyone, even non-accredited investors, the opportunity to invest in startups. The Airbitz Wefunder page states that they’re seeking to raise between $100,000 to $1 million. At the time of writing this article they have raised $34,000.
“We’ve built a security model that ultimately protects the end-user and is robust enough to handle the storage, backup, and synchronization of sensitive data,” said Airbitz CEO Paul Puey.

“The campaign will accelerate progress towards the creation of secure, user-friendly, decentralized applications by powering additional functionalities, digital currency support, and integrations for decentralized apps.”
 
When asked through email what Puey found inspiring about the Wefunder model versus private equity or ICO’s, he responded:
“We wanted to take part in utilizing this new legislation that opens up startup investing to the general population vs only high-net-worth individuals that make up less than 1 percent of the population. Bitcoin democratized access to a digital financial service. Title III does the same with investing and is therefore very in line with our company mission. We have a strong user base with a passionate following and wanted to enable them to take part and feel a sense of ownership in a product they already use."
"Only an equity crowdfunding campaign can do that. We chose to utilize WeFunder because they have the best reputation and highest success rate for Title III crowdfunding campaigns. They have had a close eye on enabling bitcoin payments for some time and were awesome to work with in enabling bitcoin integration with BitPay.”
 
As Airbitz continues foray into other blockchain technologies and platforms, these funds will ensure that they are able to work with even more potential technologies down the road. When asked what he thought would be some ideal technologies to work with, Puey stated:
“Any decentralized app on Ethereum, Rootstock, bitcoin, or other crypto platforms can take advantage of our platform, and we have some exciting partnerships to announce in the coming weeks. In addition, any application that wants to enable secure, private data that only the user can access would benefit from utilizing Airbitz. We see potential use cases for private key authentication for IoT devices & access control, secure notes programs, password managers, health care record storage, financial management applications, and a myriad of other uses.”
Puey went on to elaborate on the nature of this crowdfunding campaign compared to the hotly discussed and controversial ICO’s currently going on:
“We have never entertained an ICO as it simply does not fit our product. We aim to be the engine that powers the security behind blockchain apps. Requiring transactions in another currency in addition to the native blockchain application's currency is a friction point we did not want to add. We feel there is a right place for ICOs and a right fit for true equity funding. We're clearly a fit for the model we chose.”

"The Winklevoss brothers, identical twins, had filed their first application for a bitcoin ETF called Winklevoss Bitcoin Trust three years ago.

Investors have shown keen interest in the Winklevoss ETF. If approved by the SEC, this would be the first bitcoin ETF issued by a U.S. entity.

According to the amended filing, State Street will provide the fund administration and accounting services, including calculating the bitcoin trust's net asset value (NAV).

Another major change involved the ETF's custodian, Gemini Trust Company, doing monthly "proof of control" exercises and publishing the reports on the ETF's website.

"Custodian's cold storage system was purpose-built to demonstrate "proof of control" of the private keys associated with its public bitcoin addresses," the filing said.

"The sponsor and the custodian have engaged an independent audit firm to verify that the custodian can demonstrate "proof of control" of the private keys that control the Trust's on a monthly basis."

Burr Pilger Mayer, based in San Francisco and known for working with venture-backed digital currency companies, has been named the ETF's auditor, the filing said.

In addition, the SEC filing said Gemini's daily auction price at 4 p.m. EDT will now be used to price the NAV of the ETF. The previous pricing mechanism was the Gemini spot price. Gemini runs a digital currency trading venue.

Since its launch in September, the Gemini auction has transacted more than 19,00 bitcoin on average per business day, which represents more than 16 percent of all U.S.-based bitcoin exchange volume during the 4 p.m. period, Gemini said on Tuesday.

The daily auction along with Gemini's expansion has increased the company's market share to about 9 percent of all U.S. dollar-denominated exchange-traded bitcoin volume.

The ETF would trade under the ticker symbol COIN.

Late on Tuesday, bitcoin traded at $632.88 on the BitStamp platform."

If you are quitting your day job you should knwo for sure that you are going to make much money with teh bitcoin because if you are not making money with bitcoins you can better find a job.
you can't quit your day job if you will choose to quit just because of bitcoin then make sure that you can make more money in bitcoin that your job becoming e jobless again for nothing ? Hmm this seems that you are getting harder there are no permanent in this world.
Getting full time job on bitcoin means sitting all day at home infront of your laptop nothing else and i dont like that.You must be social in your job,move out and meet peoples and earning bitcoins in extra time as extra income is more fun.
Yeah just make hobby your collecting bitcoin and do your day job so that you can not spend your bitcoins a lot or you can use your bitcoin online stores..
So for me i will stay both..

That is right. Colleting the bitcoin is a good way to earn some. But you cannot make a living out of bitcoin now.
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC rising to 0.01btc ? on: September 19, 2016, 06:26:15 PM
I still think its not gonna hit that price sometime in the future. There are other coins close to that though. Polo has been allowing ETH deposits now so lets see if it happens..


ETC price will not hit 0.01 bitcoin if there is no big development support of it. It lack funding at the moment.
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC rising to 0.01btc ? on: September 09, 2016, 05:49:02 PM
Well ETC is still pumping at Poloniex, up to 250k satoshi now. but the thing is, I dont think its gonna reach .01 btc. Closest its gonna get is around 400-500k satoshi, but its drop could go dangerously low below 100k satoshi. That is why i dont wanna invest in it for the meantime.

If the hacker does not dump his coin and donate most of his coins to the ETC development, there is a possibility that ETC will be 0.01.
8  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: ETC rising to 0.01btc ? on: August 26, 2016, 07:08:17 AM
I was expecting it at some point to at least match the ETH price but this could be some way off from that.

That is right. If the ETC price rise to 0.01 bitcoin, that will make many people rich and it might take some time.
9  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price Dropped to 594.2$ @Preev . on: August 08, 2016, 06:42:07 PM
The current price on preev is 654 USD $ ,can someone tell me can we expect an increase of bitcoin like in the last 2 months,it hitted 770$ then dropped down,i tough after halving that it should jump but it just remains the same
I think the possile that the price will hit again back to 700 value according to 2015 chart we will see that the price will increase in november.. this is just my speculation so its more months before we will see again back 700 level..This is just my speculation anytime the price can be change or sooner the price will hit 700 value soon..

The adoption of the bitcoin is accelerating  now, so the price shall rise faster. I think the price will be $700 in September.
10  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price Dropped to 594.2$ @Preev . on: July 27, 2016, 07:25:07 AM
It does not matter if the price drop to $580 or not. If there is active development of the bitcoin, the price will rise.
correct! the bitcoin is a long term thing in my opinion and programmers work with it all the time thus there might be a big increase really fast pretty soon, that will make bitcoin more popular

i think even though the price dropped a little bit it wont have too big of a negative impact on bitcoin because people will be holding their bitcoins no matter what and the price will not be dumped to really low numbers
There has been a runup in the Bitcoin price over the past month, and many claim this is due to the upcoming halving. even if it drops a little users hopes that it wont dump very low.

The $550 range could be a short term bottom, I think the bitcoin price will not drop below that level.
11  Economy / Speculation / Re: Price Dropped to 594.2$ @Preev . on: June 29, 2016, 06:50:41 PM
It does not matter if the price drop to $580 or not. If there is active development of the bitcoin, the price will rise.

If there is no transaction capacity increase in the next 2 years, the bitcoin will be dead as another coin will replace it.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: The only way for Bitcoin to catch on is through banks on: June 05, 2016, 04:09:31 PM
I hope the banks can adopt the bitcoin so that I can save and borrow bitcoin from the banks. They are regulated, more trustable.
14  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Re: A Blast from the Past: Irrational Optimism and Bitcoin on: May 22, 2016, 04:22:24 PM
There is no way the bitcoin price will be over $10,000 next year, let alone 100,000. I would not call those people expert.
15  Bitcoin / Press / Re: [2016-05-08] Telegraph: Satoshi Nakamoto, whoever that is, will not rescue... on: May 09, 2016, 09:06:49 AM
"Put simply, Bitcoin is getting too big for the network Satoshi designed. As it grows, many of the exchanges that process Bitcoin payments are seeing transactions delayed, with the network’s building blocks filling up with data. A floated solution is to increase the network’s capacity, but purists argue that this would centralise power..."

So we need to increase the block size.
