Crap I'm so confused.. 2.8 mhs .. 2800mhs

http://www.ebay.com/itm/GPU-Scrypt-Mining-Rig-2-8MH-s-for-Litecoin-Bitcoin-Cryptocurrency-Scrypt-Mining-/251444869987?pt=AU_comp_dekstop&hash=item3a8b483b63

2.8mhs seems extremely low.. why is this so expensive, Im so confused

that is scrypt.. scrypt, SHA-2 (Sha 256) and Sha-3 (Keccak) are completely different hashing Algorythms....

scrypt is nearly 1000 times slower than SHA 256
and about 500 times slower than SHA-3 Keccak..

people who want to know how many coins they can make really need to read about and understand hashing ....
and also network difficulty..

nobody can say how many coins you will make because the rate changes every 30 seconds...

for example.. the morning you could be mining 1 per hour and by night you could be mining only .5 per hour..

the coin generation system of MAXcoins (and all other altcoins that use PoW) is as fluid and dynamic as the price..

System: 1 x 7970, 1 x watercooled 7990, 1 x 7850

I have noticed that mining Max, my GPUs don't get any where near as hot as when mining Scrypt - so I tried putting the Scrypt GPU Defaults for my 7970 and 7990 into the batch files for my Max mining, and set CGMiner off (I was previously using a basic batch file, with no presets at all), but while the mining speed was reporting back as about 15-20% higher, there wasn't anywhere near as many accepted shares happening - if any.

Does anyone know of any good presets to put into my batch file to help me wring the most out of my cards?

I tried 2 pools, and both I get no accepts at all:

accepting (0/100) booo!

As this was returned by two pools, while it works with cudaminer on other pools: is something wrong or is something totally different form all other coins/pools?

Does anyone have good cgminer settings for r9 290 or similar?

This is what I use for my R9 290 rig
-I 14
Afterburner 3.0.0 Beta 18
-12mV, 0 PT, 1050mhz core, 1250mhz mem.
435mh/s per card.

I have 5 of these hashing on one rig consuming 1300w total.
I could get up to 480mh/s using 1150mhz core and +20% PT but one of my cards is unstable so I prefer the reliability, less power consumption and heat.

Thanks, I'll give this a go. Have you just left all of the other settings in CGMiner at default.

Did you get this working with cgminer with default settings?

I have two r9 290s I'd like to try out.

How rich did Max Keiser get by plugging Maxcoin?

I am losing the respect for him with this shilling.

He is rich enough having 25K Bitcoins, why does he have to sully his reputation by hawking the botched over-pumped Maxcoin?

Ahhh I see now.. so basically, i can expect to get at most ~50 maxcoins with one unit of the best GPU mining rig currently on the market?

I have 8 rigs, consisting of 3x 280X cards on each.
It will now give me 172MAX (at current diff)

So basiclly 21,5MAX pr rig

ok that makes more sense now! Let's say you start off at around 300mh/s for each card since tweaking will take you a bit. Rough estimate around 25-30 max. I didn't use that calculating site as I'm always paranoid it is some sort of phising site, not saying it is, just playing it safe.

Those 2.8 MH/s are for scrypt and this coin is SHA3 with that setup you will get a lot more coin per day....Mining scrypts I have 2.4 MH/s and minig this coin with same setup I have 1116 MH/s and I already have 15 MAX in my wallet in less than 24 H

2.8mh/s = 2800 kh/s

2.8 gh/s = 2800 mh/s = 2800000 kh/s

Dont mix Scrypt and Keccak mining, an rig that gives 2800Khash scrypt, will give roughly 1200-1300 Keccak.
That link has 4x Sapphire 280X Vapor-X, i have a couple of those and they give around 350Mhash each on Keccak, and 750Khash with scrypt
(Note that ebay add doesnt seem right, my GOD that rig will overheat with so little space between cards.)

Can anybody give me an idea of how many Maxcoin I can get per day mining on a GPU @ 2.8MH/s ? Super new at mining here, ty

Probably .5 max at best per day. I think the previous poster misread your 2.8MH.

Oh damnit!
Sry i got an brainfart, was thinking 2800Mhash for some reason...

You have this link shared in this post also to calculate... note that i have not used, so I don't know how accurate it is...

Cool thanks mate.. Read somewhere somebody was mining 5k a day.. was like, wtf! must be lying I guess?
