Mine are not passive cooled, simply sapphire r9 280x "dual-x" cards. I have to run the fans at 100% to keep them at ~75c at 1080/1500 I13. I plan on burning the fans out, because they will at 100%, and replacing with watercooling. Lots of the non-ref 280x cards are the same non-ref design, kinda hoping someone comes out with a new block, against all odds.
From the looks of it the hashrate was generally not affected, however the amount of money invested in miners was much less back then. I think it would be interesting to see how the hashrate is affected the next time the block subsidy is halved.
Hopefully the price of the bitcoin rise due to the decrease in miners dumping them. If bitcoin price rise twice then hashrate shouldn't be affected

Re: Soon millions of men will be having sex with female robots
Well she still looks a bit robotic to me. How much electricity does she need to operate ? Maybe cost more to run then mining for bitcoin.
You don't need to run her for long. Maybe only couple of hours.. Much funner then mining...

Cloud mining profitable isn't as bad as everyone think, especially now when hardware is cheaper then shipment charges. You can actually get a better deal buying cloud mining...
You must keep the dust out of your miners make sure they stay clear of dust , make sure you watch the temperatures too if you see ne getting hotter than usual you should check out why, make sure all the wires are normal temps as well. feel your wires frequently that plug your miner into the wall, if that wire gets to Hot check the Guage of the wire and get one that does not heat up. Fire prevention is the best policy.
If anyone has any mining equipment that they no longer want/need because it uses too much electricity with the current difficulty to make much profit.....if you don't want them I will GLADY take them off your hands. Let's just say I have free electricity. I split the mined profits with you even if it's something worth doing 500GH+ or something.
I remember when my 5GH/s miner would easily make $175 in a month. Now a year later I'm lucky to make 52 cents in a month...wtf is up with that.
Both the raise in difficulty and the price drop in bitcoins will effect your income.
I can sell you some miners if your interested shared profit s not something I am interested in.
Even if you clean it every month and check the temperature. Hardware would sometimes just fail for no reason and cause fire, the safest way is to make sure all material that you use in the room is fire proof. That would stop the fire from going mad..

Re: Where is the best place to get asic hardware these days?
Should i start mining bitcoins? Do you believe that they will go up to $1,000+ a coin? Or should i start mining litecoins? What would you recomend for the most profit?
You shouldn't start mining unless you already have the hardware is it is able to cover your electricity plus some profit. And if you believe coin will go up to $1000 please buy BTC directly.
