Wait, I'm not 100% sure on this, but is the 480 the top of the line, or is it only the next-gen 380, and then there will be a "490", etc?

I was thinking they were advertising the RX480 as the "sweet spot" for price/performance and stuff, but I didn't think it was their highest-spec GPU?

Knowing all this, would it be worth getting a 290 right now? People want an arm and a leg for 390's it seems, but even the 290 is expensive at well over $200 for aftermarket versions. But then, the RX480 would outperform it for $200 anyway... I think. Guess we'll have to wait until the end of the month for a clearer picture. :/

Apparently dmwardjr is some kind of bitcoin prince lol. Mind throwing a few my way? Not even sure I can pay my rent this month. XD

No, but seriously. Cry

Yes, it appears we may have to wait. Not sure. Wish we knew something concrete NOW. Grin

No, not a BTC prince. I've had as much as 148 TH/s (30 x S7's of varying batches) mining out of my home. I have not sold any BTC I've mined to pay for power costs ever since I started mining. I paid all of my power bills out of pocket ever since August 2014 to hold on to my BTC to sell for bigger profits at a later date.

Sorry, cannot pay your rent. My wife was laid off from her job (Accountant for an oil and gas company) the second week of January this year. We are now relying on me to provide for us by whatever legal means available. Hell, our health/dental insurance for the three of us (I have a 5 year old son too) is $1,530 monthly. That's a damn house note by itself but I have one of those too.

Eh... Was worth a try. Grin

Well then... Here's to us all being BTC princes, when the price goes up to $1,000,000/BTC.

Any thoughts on investing into S9's? Only thing that sucks right now is the block halving... I had a decent enough hashrate to get to where I want to be at around 10 BTC. Looks like it'll take a while longer now... Even if the price goes up, I'm just bag holding and didn't care about short-term anyway, so it's still a big disadvantage from that perspective, rather than just cashing out if the price goes up right now...
