I go back to equihash.

I hope you mean ETHhash, where the R9-290 is still profitable (barely) if you have SUPER CHEAP electric.
They have never been a good choice for Equihash, and with ASIC units widespread on equihash NOTHING GPU is profitable any more unless your electric is FREE.
nothing with this r9 290 is now pofitable. But i mine and hold for the future. A view equihash coins habe the advantage that the difficulty and hashrate is very low.So you can mine more coins as in the past.
I only mine coins who are Asic resistant (Ltz,Zel,Zer.....)
