A 290 will mine anything you point it at but the problem is that because it uses so much power it is not the most profitable, but it out hashes my 970s, 1060s, 570s, and 480s. 

Unless of course you get lucky with random alt coins like I did before, it doesn't matter that it's a bit inefficient when you're selling at massive bubbles.
But you gotta get lucky ofc.

Anyhow, do you know where I should start with determining what miner and settings to use? I forgot all the commands for cgminer and whatnot.
I also used reaper back then.. gave me better hashrate than cgminer, but I see no mention of it.
