Hendo,

Excellent article!  Good work.  I'm mining 42 with a virgin xfx r9 280, currently at 580 kHz, tweaking for the sweet spot of 710 (I hope). The card just came today and I replaced my 2 week R9 270x, which I had been using to mine '42 for the last 24 hours.  So I gots a little bit.

Anyway, love the concept of this coin, and your lecture which was referenced in the article.  Good stuff.  I'm just learning about 'coin in the last two months and I'm having a ball.  Too bad I have to go to work to pay the bills - this is a fun hobby (and I've counted computers/programming a hobby since the late 70's).


I love the smell of newly painted virgin GPU cards as they rise above 70C for the first time...


Keep up the good work.
Daniel
