23  Local / Buyer/ Seller Reputations (India) / Reputation thread for rohirrim [RESOLVED CLOSED] on: December 18, 2013, 02:40:54 PM
So this guy aka rohirrim (profile : https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=133155) posts about selling his stuff here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=321875.msg3893743#msg3893743

I contact him to buy the power supply (the rate was higher but that is ok to ask since it was his right as a seller).

He says he will have to look for the bill and then sell it later  .... We have a chat and I find the guy to be decent and ask him to give me the bill later for the power supply.

Being a small community I decide to trust the guy, pay him the amount and assume he would give me the bill later.

Now his power supply starts giving problems and I contact him - he still says he will look for the bill.

Over the next few days I try to contact him but he just keeps avoiding calls/messages and doesn't even bother much to respond back.

Meanwhile with the price of BTC dropping I kinda decide to give up on mining (since it would require more investment and anyways the coins I was considering to mine either had security issues or were pump and dump or would not give me the return on investment even with free electricity).

So I have a buyer willing to buy my card and power supply but I can not sell it because this guy just refuses to return calls or respond to messages either here or on his cell !!

So I would advice anyone buying equipment from him to be proceed with EXTREME CAUTION .

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !

PS: I know the guy has been active on the forums since the past 4 days atleast and not bothered to respond to calls/messages for the authentic bill. He is possibly mining some pump and dump coin. I would suggest not dealing unless he clarifies here.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / URGENT advice needed - R9 280x or 7970 ? on: December 17, 2013, 08:32:29 PM
Hey,

I JUST HAVE TO GET A CARD in the NEXT 12 HOURS !!

From what I have read R9 280x is just a modified version of 7970 .

So R9 280x costs extra too . Should I opt for a 7970 or a R9 280x ?

Any reason to opt for one or the other ... seeing around seems like the hashrate looks somewhat the same (correct me if I am wrong).

Anybody who has experience or knows some technical details about hese cards ?

Regards

27  Local / Mining (India) / 7950 settings on: December 17, 2013, 07:03:56 AM
Hey,

Actually a bit new to this and I am using guiminer with my 7950.

I am using the default setting - 7950 (high usage) .... however I am getting about 550 khps.

Does anyone know better settings in "guiminer" (possibly with the extra flags) ? Or are those default settings the best ?

31  Local / Mining (India) / [CLOSED]Mining advice needed for Scrypt coins on: December 06, 2013, 04:55:06 PM
Hey all,

I need some advice about setting up a rig for mining scrypt coins ... so far have looked into  GPUs like 7950 (but those are currently out of stock.. pm me if anyone willing to sell), R9 290s (but they seem to be expensive to begin with).

Also need advice on CPU, Motherboard and miscellaneous stuff like power supply,pci1x16 cables (which are currently not available in mumbai ,which is where I am located ).

All suggestions welcome.

Budget approx 50,000 INR (but can be extended by sacrificing a BTC on localbitcoins)

Cheers
