          i would leave 10k to hire me some extra programming skills and get some of my ideas of the ground.
          the rest i would use to create an 750ti hashing farm.

          Im going to take your advice… Lets form a technical partnership… Ive messaged you…

                      Now its just terrible. 0.09BTC pr day at current rates with my 17Mhash scrypt hashrate

                        Very True :-)

                        I agree with you now after doing some poking around, GPU mining all the way, screw Scrypt ASICS…

                          You tease!

                          Tbh i got no clue at this point in time. Have had three days where im been busy with other stuff

                          The market is so rapidly changing and you need to check several times pr day to get your barings straight.

                          One thing for sure, i have higher confidence in feathercoin and those other longrunners than all those bloody crapcoin coming out there.

                          The amount of new coins coming out daily now is just ridiculouse, i also think alot of the overall lowering of coin values are an direct connection to this.

                          Where will it end?

                          Take spaincoin for example, hit exchange two days ago, if id mined from the start i would get 0.7BTC pr day, but by the time you are able to redirect your miners and get an pool paying out for blocks its to late.

                          now its nearly worthless. Which is kinda understandable, my god 50% premine. And people buy into this? ???

                          That kimoto gravity well diff target makes it alot harder to coinjump to since the diff off the coin can adjust so rapidly.

                          For now im just stable mining Myrcoin (skein, that uses less power and generate less heat), selling em pr day and cashing out in btc that i can buy ftc for :)

                            It’s a bit tricky with the 7950 and 7970 when the cooling breaks since the options for after market cooling is almost slim to zero.

                            However, the Prolimatech MK-26 actually works like a charm! Running it on my asus 7970 DCII since the original fan went awol the same way as described here.

                            I’m running this bad boy package:

                            http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BU-032-TL&groupid=701&catid=2330&subcat=787

                            Keeps the temp about 10 degrees celsius lower than asus DCII cooling :)

                            Do you know where to get them here in the americas? thanks buddy

                              Hey everybody,

                              To my surprise two fans one in each card ran out. And looks like the same its about to happend on the other two cards. The fans are barely moving, have any of you had any problems like this before, and do you guys know is there a way I can get a replacement from AMD?

                              thanks a bunch!

                              Dude, the same thing happened to me, I bought new 7950 Sapphire with this “Vapor-X Cooling”…and let me just say, it’s a little bull-doo-doo.

                              At first, for about 6 months, the cards performed well…I was getting 630 KH, after that…the fans started making weird noises and stopped working…Luckily I bought them from Amazon (direct from them and not via a re seller) …Amazon refunded me the full amount for the four cards I bought.

                              I’ve now gone to MSI 280x, for the same price and get 720Kh/s per card.

                              Moral of the story…Buy from amazon, they love to love you.
