Re: [VTX] VorteX Official Logo Contest - 6,000 VTX Bounty
Nice one. I love the light motion the cutout V seems to have. I'm not sure about the Serif though. A Sans-Serif that has that thick and thin feel to the letters would go well with this I think.

when the contest will be over 
When they like one haha. I usually don't participate in design contests because I feel it's not respectful of my own time, but something compelled me today.
Re: [VTX] VorteX Official Logo Contest - 6,000 VTX Bounty
I'm a full time designer looking for a developer to act as the other half of a partnership to build an app idea I'd like to grow and use that facilitates trading on a top market using stop loss methods very seldom found on crypto markets. Experience working on mobile platforms & server side data processing are likely required.
Shoot me a message if you fit the bill.

I've just set up my miner, Radeon 290x on CGminer with a .bat exe.
CGminer gives me approx 700kh/s but the pool only records around 20kh/s (I've used both coinotron and multipool and they are same).

How long did you have your miner running before checking the pool stats? I'm not sure if a 24/hr average is an accurate period, but in my experience letting it run for a good 10-15 minutes before checking your pool stats is a good way to get more accurate information.
I actually seem to suffer from the opposite problem - my work PC does scrypt CPU mining 24/7 and generates about 92kh/s according to minderd.exe - but my pool always always registers as higher. As high as 125kh/s at some points.
Anyone have any idea why this is happening? I'm not interested in changing it, but I would like to understand it.
Anything!
Alright, you're in luck. I happen to have this board and recently borrowed a UPS from work to test the draw from the wall with my gear. Here's what I collected:
PSU Load Data via "APC Back-UPS Pro 1000"
ASUS P8z68-V Motherboard with an i5 and 8GB of random memory
GIGABYTE Radeon R9 280X on PCIe x16 slot
Voltage: 1.075
GPU Clock: 1020MHz Memory: 1500
118watts IDLE
316watts Mining
330-360watt Spikes
Learn from my mistake. I recently bought two used GPU's for much lower than market price, and am getting much higher kh/s than the previous owner with them. I don't think he knew what he was doing.
Anyway. In order to run all 3 of my GPU's now i needed a new PSU. after I installed the new PSU I powered my two SATA harddrives with the old modular sata power cable from the old PSU. When it didn't boot, I inspected the connections and noticed the 6pin socket that goes into the PSU to power the drives is different on the new/old cables. I ended up frying both of my harddrives - about $250 in damage.
Hopefully SOMEONE sees this and learns from it.
I have some basic knowlege regarding building computer/etc so it shouldn't be hard. I will also do some research which cards and mobo I should use. Well even if it won't be profitable, I will still have cards and hardware I can sell, right?
How long is a GPU lifespan when it runs 24/7? Will it work for like 3 months or should I expect some of them permorming bad/breaking after this time? I am thinking about 3 cards and using them in about 70 degrees.

It's not late and in my opinion might it will never be late (maybe I'll explain my opinion further in another post). But you'll need to build your own mining rig witch requires certain amount knowledge. Also scrypt mining is much different than how the bitcoin mining works. By breaking it down you'll see that currently the most efficient way to mine is using a graphics card; graphics cards offer you a nice hashrate but still consume a lot of energy and produce much of heat since they weren't originally designed for running 24/7 in oc settings for solving computations such as these litecoin (or scrypt coins in general) mining requires.
