What's the point of ripple?

Who said it's bad that it runs at 95c? It's a safe temp for those chips... otoh, who said it is safe? The company releasing a card with crappy cooler and wants to sell hardware? It's up to the end user to determine if he wants to keep at 95ºC a piece of hardware that costs him $550. As far as power draw, the guy who posted results reported 270w+- for 900kh/s, which is pretty decent imho. 900 Kh/s at 270w is indeed decent. What is not is getting 900 Kh/s at 270W after paying $550. Compare with getting 750 Kh/s at $275 and ~180W out of the 280x or 650 Kh/s for $200 out of the 7950. |

There is over 3 billion devices running java, unstable and slow over time? Please.
The Android 4.3 and 4.4 updates will make the OS more resource friendly, and TRIM support will fix the way that java was handling deleted data on android.
Yes, java is slow and monumental garbage. However Android is native at system level, today's phones are powerful (CPU and ram), and people tend to power them off/let the batteries run out. |

However it is a GOOD thing to have people losing interest in mining for a while. Forces hardware prices to come down and slows down the stratospheric difficulty for a while (I hope  ) |

ffs, why don't you guys stick to precisely what he is asking in the OP?? He is not asking for power savings, neither is he wanting to generate heat, neither is he asking for ASICs. He is asking 2 things: 1) which card should I use?; 2) is there profit to be made? Answer: yes it is worth it. - Check out this list: https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison and see how much Kh/s you get out of your intended cards - Check this site: http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency and enter your Kh/s and perhaps the cost of electricity. See in $'s/day and how many days to get 1 BTC - Mine one of those coin that tends to be profitable and stable (e.g. Worldcoin, Feathercoin, Megacoin), or register at https://hashco.wsA personal advice: I regret purchasing a 7870 and should have got a 7950. That's just 400 Kh/s instead of 650+, for a ~50€ difference, let alone the resale value. Get a 7950 or wait for a 280, if you can. |

The card as it is now ($550, 300W, 95ºC, stock cooler) is a bad deal for mining. Better get 7990, 7950 or 280x

I don't trust Google, neither I believe there's a bright future for what is based on trust. However Google and other U.S. internet corporations are being hit on their bottom line due to this scandal, so I see why they may be "concerned" about our privacy.

É pena que um tipo como o Max Keiser bata na tecla da Grecia, sabendo bem o que provocou esta crise. O que realmente acontece é que os vassalos dos EUA na Europa (Sul da Europa e Reino Unido principalmente) viveram à mama do petrodolar, da "economia de serviços" e da construção civil, descontinuando a agricultura e industria (tal como na America). Agora que o dolar está sobre ataque da China, Russia, Irão e outros, acabou-se o que era doce. Depois, adoptar uma moeda tão volatil como o bitcoin dá mesmo estabilidade e capacidade de planear o futuro  |

It wouldn't go so fast on restricting the government. Don't forget that one can vote and elect politicians, while we can't influence corporations. Who is going to protect us from toxic food and environment, if not the regulators? Who is going to prevent massive healthcare costs?
That said, everyone has his own opinion of this topic, depending on his country of origin and personal ideology ...

Oh, and BTW.
There are 5 shows that Bitcoin needs to be not just mentioned, but mentioned in a GOOD way on (like buying them is shown in a good light somehow).
The Daily Show
Colbert
@Midnight
Tosh.0
South Park
And Bitcoin will win the internet. The WHOLE internet.
And the whole internet is the English speaking internet |

If those numbers are correct, then the 280x is better for mining. They are a bit cheaper than 7970, and hansh at about the same speed.
To be honest, i was expecting a bit more from the 290x..
Those numbers are obviously correct for the one guy that posted them. That doesn't mean it's some sort of reference for this card, even more after releases with custom coolers. |

Gah, I forgot about this! Didn't keep my promise. Shame, shame  |

I'd like to see a useful proof-of-work, with algorithm like those one can find on BOINC projects
Why? What's the point. It just needlesses complicates the currency and becomes a potential point of weakness. What's the point?? As I said, do useful work. I'm not sure how do you want me to explain Is primecoin a bad idea? Does it complicate and made it a point of weakness. |

Ubuntu is a waste of one's finite life. Buggy, broken support for many devices, exploitable, half-made, unpleasant to use, terrible community.
That said, I use and love one of it's derivatives: Mint.

The way I understand it, mixing flying saucers with aliens, New Age and strange phenomena (in the American and sometimes European culture and media), is deliberate to cover up and ridicule. First, there's some historical evidence of the construction of such aircraft in the past, and otoh hints that scientific progress that was deliberately hidden. Then, when I search for patents, e.g. at https://www.google.com/?tbm=pts#q=flying+saucer&tbm=pts, there are lots of intriguing results, even in the middle of toys, amateur designs and such. There's also a book written by an old Texas engineer in a peculiar style, (slow pdf download) http://www.whale.to/b/lyne.pdf, and this article: http://www.examiner.com/article/reagan-records-space-command-antigravity-fleet . Some other material can be found with a bit of effort. I'm not so naive to rush to conclusions and say that can only be true, of course I don't know that. But step by step, stuff so convoluted and hard to believe has been evolving from unbelievable to fact. From global spying and Big Brother, to petrodollar economy, to the fact that the older of us were born when countries were pointing NUCLEAR weapons at our heads and at each other. Compared with this, the possible existence of such advanced craft doesn't stretch credibility that much. |

What's your opinion about this topic, so controversial and prone to ridicule?

People like you are just whining and moaning because your favorite shitcoin is dying, but it's because it's a shitcoin, not because of multipools.
Being able or not to withstand spikes of Gh/s from profit pools is not what makes it a good or bad coin. A good coin survives the environmental challenges it faces and is of good use at whatever circumstances. If it can't face the reality of 'profit pools' and live, let Darwin put it at the end of some extinct currency twig on the evolutionary tree. Nonsense. What makes a good coin is bringing something new, like PoS, new algorithms, the ability to buy products and services with it, etc... Bitcoin would be killed if someone had ASICs to mine it from the very beginning, or an array of GPUs vs everyone mining on CPUs. The 51% attack was always a concern. There have been forks also. So much for your "environmental challenges" and "good use at whatever circumstances". Furthermore, the more coins you kill, the quicker it becomes unprofitable to mine. |
