wait, people are still buying GPUs for mining?

Yes, and with what seems like a new block chain being introduced every week, it's not hard to have a new card paid off in less than a week. In some cases a few hours. In fact I bought this 5970 out of profits I made off of 8 HOURS worth of mining Ixcoins

178 days my ass! Tongue

Now that's what I'm talking about! Mine for 5 min and make 200 BTC lol.

None of this 100-200 days of bitcoin mining.

Re: solidcoins, I'm making hundreds of dollars in solid coins.

Hundreds of dollars? That seems a bit hard to believe. You have what, 4 or 5 GH/s? You've said several times you're limited by electricity.
I assume that's not "per day" -- what are we talking about, 200% over normal BTC mining? 500%?

If it's very much, it can't last long or everyone'll be doing it.

"Solidcoin" is just another scam. And in exchange for the possible 300% mining returns, you have a chance of getting 30% of what you would have made mining BTC.

Yeah I'm chillin on 5GHash/sec, but SC has difficulty raising limitations, meaning even that hash power yielded significant coinage for long time (even now though it is petering out) and the price went up about 30x in a few days, contributing to out of the ordinary gains, not to mention investment in the coin yielded high returns. Now that BTC took a dump in the toilet though it's not "hundreds of dollars" "per day" or every couple of days, since the exchange is to BTC, but that's ok, I have faith in the bit to come back eventually.

SC hash rate went up and exchange rate has gone down, so whether it has "bucked the trend" or not remains to be seen.

I spoke with them on the phone, its a company in SF Bay Area. Apparently some system manufacturer was going to build a bunch of custom gaming machines and their order fell through so they didnt end up using the cards. Cards are brand new. I ordered 4, will post pics when I get mine.

The fact that this is still in stock, after some people bought 8 of them, is probably not a good thing. Now more hashing power will be added to the network and you know what to expect from a difficulty change...

A thought crossed my mind.. is that what if these are refurb cards that the factory repaired and now calling them brand new?
Are they allowed to do such a thing? I honestly thought they stopped making these things.

So IOcoin crashed pretty bad (delivering a smaller "bang" to the group of profit-chasing miners compared to, say, IXcoin 1 week previous) but SolidCoin somehow fared better -- somewhere in between the two? Better than IXcoin?

That's odd -- usually any pattern is less prominent the next "go-round" -- this is true with many things in nature, including markets.
As it applies to *coin blockchains, it means that each one will have a diminishing return, as more people get wise quicker -- cashing out, that is.

So you're saying SolidCoin bucked this trend? If so, why? I'd like to know what's so special about it.

third time's the charm...

I guess the only thing I have heard is that SC actually has a programmer behind it that can do more then just make simple
changes in code. Otherwise I am not feeling any other good reason. Plus the ironic thing is that it requires BTC to function
when it comes to exchanges so far. BTC sucks the website is basically trying to say but everyone is selling SC for BTC.
go fricking figure.

Higher risk has higher potential reward. It could've just crashed down like i0, but then again it could also skyrocket to 0.10btc per.

Tell me about it. I'm not saying I make perfect buy-at-the-bottom-sell-at-the-top trades. In fact I've actually lost out on huge opportunities by getting greedy and waiting for the price to go higher. But if you throw enough BTC into either SC or IxC right now (or at least earlier this morning), it's almost impossible to NOT make 2-3x your money back.

Mining Solidcoins, sure. But the bulk of my SC earnings come from trading. Buy low, sell high etc. If you bought 10 BTC worth of Solidcoins 3 days ago, they'd be worth about 50 BTC now, more or less.

I just transfer them directly to the exchange and get bitcoins. I don't hold on to any of these coins. So the mining returns for me are much higher than mining bitcoins. I've made a little over $100 in 2 days mining solidcoins (14 bitcoins). I would've made about 3 bitcoins mining bitcion directly in the same time period.

If you're buying mining hardware still it must be for the *Other* coins. Bitcoin really isn't worth it anymore.

I put in the order, then cancelled it. Not really worth it as I can't be sure what's the final bitcoin price will be stable at.
