I have ~3 BTC but that is not the point. I see that there are more effective ways of cashing out, up to 98% of BTC-e rate

How the hell does an hacker get your password on both Cryptsy and Gmail?

Either:
1) You use the same username and password on both services
2) You have malware in your computer

I don't see this getting anywhere tbh

What is the brand and model?

I'm registered too, but I'm not sure it's for me to pay 0.15 BTC for the card and then be locked with their fees and low-ball BTC/fiat exchange rate.

I don't care about the bounty, but I had to give my opinion when I saw "headaches" and "frustation".

My suggestion: give up. It's not worth it to keep banging one's head against the wall. Either return one card, or buy another base system and 4 more cards, even 270x's.

I tend to think that wireless spy chips becoming standard in PCs is somewhat relevant to Bitcoin.
It is very relevant. Out-of-band access can bypass all security precautions, even an offline machine with a wallet running Tails OS.

So, the majority of you believe that 250 years of industrial revolution, human activity and de-forestation have no impact on climate?

No. I don't believe in that easy strawman. Your point is "If you do not share our view, if you do not believe in global warming made by humans EXCLUSIVELY, you are a baby polar bear killer, roasting their brain with woods from the Amazon, and you called your first born Adolf", or something....
You don't know what my points really are itt...

One is: why do people even try to come with apparently "high-minded" arguments to mask and hide their basic self-interest, in what often is a zero-sum game?  In my view, neither camp has much credibility, due to the conflict of interest involved. 2ºC hotter or 2ºC colder, means loss for some people and gains for others. So is reducing the dependency of oil. In the U.S., this drama  has to do with keeping the domestic oil industry and the petrodollar. In other regions, like Russia it's gas, oil, more arable land and access to Artic. In Europe, there's North winter/South summer divide, i.e. nobody wants colder winters and paralysis at North, while Southerners can't stand hotter summer and droughts. Global warming for already hot regions like Africa and Middle East is terrible, etc...

imho by this order, but the current prices cause distortions:
7950
280x
7970
Some 270x or 270 with GDD5 5600+
R9-290 with custom cooler.
7990
Some 7870 and 270
R9-290 with stock cooler
6950
6970
5850 and 5870
6990
5970

The R9-290 are in the middle because afaik they cannot be volt modded with VBE7 or other utility. If I'm wrong, then they climb up to near the 280x

That said, the last ones can sometimes be the best if you get them for the right prices.
For example, it's ok to buy an used 7950 at $200, while it becomes silly at $300 or even less

I had a bad experience with 2 6950's in Crossfire, but that was some time ago

I have the chance to get some cheap 7850's. Is it worth buying them? I would have to buy everything else as well, even mobo.
Depends on how cheap and how many. If they are 120€ or less, then I'd go for them. If possible, test one beforehand, because "cheap" may mean unstable or stressed out.

The CryptoCoin world is an unregulated shark tank full of predators.
IMHO because they all smell blood for a good reason and gives a good example of what a "scam honeypot" looks like.

As everything is much more complicated in the BTC/Altcoin world than it is i.e. in the cash world, there's plenty of room for scams and abuse of all kinds - with a never-ending fresh supply of potential (unknowing) victims.

I guess that sums it up.

Likely not Bitcoin's fault, but what I've seen in this CryptoCoin world within the last 2 months alone was the biggest display of greed, scams, stupidity and all the worst of human qualities (concerning everything money related) that I have ever seen so compressed in my life. The relative anonymity of the Internet likely supports this behaviour.

Weird to see, that extreme type of "shark tank social order" I'd normally expect to see only on Wall Street.
A bit ironic and really made me think to see that the BitCoin world actually exceeds everything what is already considered normal on Wall Street by a far margin.
That's exactly what rang my first alarm bells on day 1 and caused me to make the decision not to stay any longer in the CryptoCurrency world than I absolutely have to.
Call it civilizatory decay or the signs of our times... I simply don't like what I see and would never feel "at home" in that world. Every of my senses tells me all this can't and won't end well, thus I limited my investments and was forced to prepared an exit strategy much faster than I anticipated.

But again, it's not due to BTC - it's the people and what they do.
Do you read non-English forums? Using U.S. centric references to generalize to the "world" of crypto-currencies is naive at best.

Increase the --gpu-memclock to 1750 or 1800, then increase --gpu-engine accordingly.

Find out the temps on your VRMs.  

How do I do that ? I have asked the same above. Kindly help. GPU-z is not showing any info on vrm
Perhaps MSI Afterburner or ASUS GpuTweak will show.

Could you please post a screenshot while mining, of the miner and Gpu-z?

Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Dual-X been better than my gigabyte
saphire 750khs 1.025v much cooler than Gigabyte R9 280x Rev2
gigabyte cant get voltage below 1.07, hash only 735khs

and my sapphire finds somehow 25% more shares than GIgabyte

Is your Sapphire Dual X stable on that 1.025 voltage with 750kh? I doubt it is. If you flash Gigabyte R9 280x Rev 2 it can get below voltage 1.07 but its not stable. (or i havent find right settings to make it so)
He's not claiming high core clock speed. If the voltage regulators are robust, vDrop is not too steep, ASIC quality is high and the ram is low latency, one can get 750 at such low voltage, yes. Even I managed 750 Kh/s on my shitty VTX3d for a few minutes at core 1050 - 1080 (?), vram 1800, 1.03v
