An AMD Radeon R9 280X gets about 355 CryptoNight hash.

It gets 750 Scrypt. Am I missing something from the below #'s? Why isn't everyone mining Monero?

- Added minergate pool support.
- Added "main pool" - miner will try to use main pool every 30 minutes.
- "pools.txt" file - now you can specify login and password for every pool.
- current pool address is displayed for every new job.

Hello fellow miners and crypto-buffs,

I am looking to sell my miner:

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-servers/kitchener-waterloo/3-mh-s-litecoin-mining-rig/575262465

The current hashrate is on average 3 Mh/s. It consumes about 1280 watts of power. It has 2x Asus 280x CUII and 2x Saphire 280x video cards. It comes with both power supplies and custom metal frame as pictured. It also comes with the motherboard, CPU, 4 GB RAM. I can include a usb stick if needed. Everything was purchased brand new and nothing was second-hand. It's only a month old. All it needs is a usb stick configured with whatever miner you wish to use. Pretty much ready to use. I can help with learning how to use and get configured just right for optimal hashrate.

Asking $3200, will accept bitcoin.

Please feel free to PM if you are interested.

I haven't been able to find any concrete evidence of this, but I'm really starting to suspect you're right. There are far too many x11 miners with outrageous hash rates.

"We have continuously alienated new people by being curt or just assholes."

This happened in spades last week when I went to Litecoin forum and asked for help with my mining rig.
I all but got humiliated, mocked, and kicked in the ass as I ran out the front door while everyone was laughing.
Seriously.  All because I didn't know what I was doing with my troublesome hardware setup.

Anyways, thats not the point of the article.
Big +1 on everyone reading this article.

Good find.

-B-

that's funny stackmasher is telling the same story on different thread (some dude wanted to sell it some modified asic miner) twice:
*1 for scrypt-n
*1 for X11

So didn't you pay the 30BTC (10 for scrypt-n, 20 for X11) ?

Are you from scrypt.cc? They too know some super profitable coins nobody knows about 

And that's almost sound logic.  Almost.  Well, it almost comes close to being sound logic.  Never mind, close only counts in horseshoes, hand-grenades, and nuclear war.

So here's the thing.  It's only a matter of time until some industrious 20-something markets a pool that automates the process of mining smaller more profitable coin and converting again to the bitcoin gold-standard.  that's what H2O or whoever the middlecoin is did last year and I wouldn't be surprised to see it again. 

That guy was making $4K - $7K+ daily just on 2% or whatever fees and he was "the" pool to be in for the better part of a year. 

Nice theory though about "keeping their MOUTH SHUT."  It's fun to daydream.  Yes, I like to daydream and eat cotton candy, point at magical unicorns and such while frolicking in the wood... or whatever it is that I do in daydreams.

So let me daydream an explanation that is more inclusive of important details:

1.  The $1K-ish btc prices have been gone for months.  if we hit 6-700+ you'll see people mining with whatever they can.  The current prices are break-even for many and not even profitable for some so they turn off the GPU miners. 

2.  Asics are arriving but many of the people using them are the same people who previously had GPUs and they are being wise in how much they put into Asics because it's not unlikely that GPU mfrs will be putting out amazing power efficient cards in the near future: 750 Ti is just the tip of the iceberg.

3. No one keeps their mouth shut.  LOL

4.  It's summer, it's hot.  Another reason for traditional GPU miners to drop out and not everyone has the fiat to invest into Asics

5. There was a buzz and a honeymoon period in the past 6 months.  A lot of noobs bought GPU rigs and had no idea how hard it would be.  You can see some of these folks selling their equipment now in various threads usually with a line something like, "I've had enough of mining for now" or "Mining wasn't for me" or "wife got fed up with mining" etc etc etc

6.  Some industrious miners with nothing but time on their hands or are highly motivated have moved on to explore mining the x11, vert, dark coins, or whatever else. 

7.  When you tally up just the coin switching multi-pools you are talking over half of the LTC network hashrate.  Not saying this means that everyone is mining ltc or even scrypt.  Just saying that the majority still are.  So to say that there's been any monumental movement of mouth-shut miners to some promised land of dark coin profit is not tangible. 

That's how I see it.  So really, not saying you're totally wrong.  Just that you're close and that's there's way more to consider in all this.  To simply say it's dark coin or whatever a niche group is off doing is narrow and non-inclusive of important details. 

It could be many GPU rigs turning to mine DRK as its value shows a jump yesterday .

yeah,many many fpga mining x11

vertcoin has one of the best non-scrypt/SHA market caps, but i dont know much more than that about it.

Is it better to mine scrypt still with my GPUs until the ASICs truly flood the market, or should I already be switching to X11 or scrypt-n?
