              Hehe he :-) it’s about the same setup as mine, i got one card more
              Does she still think you are crazy?

              How many watts are the 280x pulling? I’m not sure 1200w will suffice for 4 per rig.

                I was thinking about one rig, then I considered two is better. When I saw the discount price for the cards in booked 15pc immediately, to give me time to think . I was at the shop 2 hours later and took them all. They were below market price.

                  of you use seasonic x1250 it works for 4 cards running 750khash each with 1100/1500 settings (asus matrix 280X) i would however keep it for three just to be sure

                            Heh? Thanks to all the litecoin articles, R9 280x raised to $400 from $330 in NCIX. I don’t think I can afford one anytime soon.

                              I’m making over 225 coins per day at 11MH/s.
                              Celebrated passing the first 1000 coin marker yesterday with a beer (and my girlfriend who still thinks i’m bonkers)
                              Next target is 10.000 coins which would take the Moet bottle out of the closet :-)

                                Spend some Ftc on nice clothing or jewelry for her. I bet this will change her mind ;)

                                    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 ;-)

                                      [b]Yes, I was listening half year my wife:[/b]
                                      When you finally make some money? This is waste of time. You promise me to quit in January if you dont make any money.

                                      Then I made my anual salary by trading BTC and FTC in one month, ordered a new car and said my boss I want to quit.
                                      Now she is quiet :)

                                        I told her to go fiat after 50,000 coins so that it would take a while :-)
                                        She replied that another brand then Fiat (car) was also fine by then…
