Wife thinks I'm crazy

Yes because historically miners would have been better off using their funds to buy coins directly rather than mining them. But I always say it’s better to go for a diversified approach and perhaps this only represents 50% of your investment 8)

We had a comment on Twitter from [url=https://twitter.com/amirmann]@amirmann[/url] in response to this:
@Feathercoin are you happy with these PowerColor cards ? I hate mine, they got so hot and give low hashrate

Nice to see more serious miner, smart move VEX seems I am half as crazy now, I have a similar setup with 36 GPU’s 7950 & 7970s
Pledge you will not mine other coins but Feathercoins
Good Luck Mining

I promised her 10% of the coins and told her about what happened to Bitcoin going up from $0.20 to $900.That kept her glazing at me and stuttering… howhowhowmanymillion ? :-)
I think that will keep her quiet for a while ;-)
[/quote]Ok… but let’s be clear on this.
This scenario only plays out when you mine the coins, and then hold on to them for a LONG time.
If you cash out in 6 months, or the next time the market takes a major dip, WHICH IT WILL DO, you’re literally throwing your upside potential down the drain.
Mining is great. It’s a great way to add value to your currency. But the only way to maximize that value is to hold onto them for the long haul, and push for their adoption.

I’ll hold on to them for a while :-)
Maybe splitting them up into 25%BTC, 25%LTC and keep the rest 50% in FTC. -
been out a while, it’s been crazy time to set this all up. Couple of bad mobos, kid, wife, daily job, setting this up remotely… aargh, I just recently moved to another country, barely had time to settle and relax, and I then (of course my wife says) found another hobby.
anyway, powercolor cards are decent, can be undervolted with trixx, giving about 680khash/s on default settings in guiminer. Consuming around 220W @ 1ghz, 1.2V, maybe 10W less when undervolted to 1.04V
I haven’t had time to optimize it in anyway. I promised wife to cash in everything at least until we get 50% ROI.
I found a problem in this alt coin expansion, it’s the switching pools amassing huge hashing power, which can totally kill smaller new coins, difficulty and exchange rate wise, and is very tempting for new miners in this gold rush… but let’s not continue about this in this thread… I’ll make a new topic in appropriate section.

Just added some extra GPU’s the last days.
I already had some Sapphire R9 290 running ‘stock settings’ on 830kH/s @74C.
This time I’ve ordered the BF4 edition and although it seems to be exactly the same card they are running 840kH/s @ 73C ?I did try to run two 290 and one 280x (with two instances of cgminer) in one rig but then the speed of the 290 goes up to almost 900kH/s and then crashes. So it appears the 290 can go a lot faster but havent found out why/whats going on…
-
what hash rate are you getting from the 280x and what are your settings? voltage? gpu clock?
-
R9 280x
1.075v
engine 1060
mem 1500
730kH/s
