How do you guys know the X11 stuff isn't malware-laced? Rootkits can be hard to detect. Just curious.
I build my own kernel. It's not hard, the miner's are open-source and readily available to download and compile.
If I wasn't able to do this I'd just use 1.6.0. The author is very transparent and his compile has been vetted by security experts I trust.
Could you elaborate on "his compile has been vetted by security experts I trust"?
x11 is great for power savings and heat savings, I'm getting closer to 40-45% power reduction. Negative is that even with power savings it is less profit than scrypt or scrypt n from what i've seen.
Anyone who hasn't tried X11, feel free to give it a shot on my pool : http://www.cryptoalts.com (has a link to the sgminer and video tutorial on how to get it going)
What kind of kh/s to watt ratio are you seeing at the wall for x11 mining? I'm at 16-1, though was hoping to get 18-1. This is on underclocked/undervolted 270's and 290x's.
Guys, I hope you know that there are tuned miners for x11 (I don't have access to one yet).
I have seen no evidence that these actually exist and/or aren't filled with malware.
Just the word on the street.
In other news, AC day trading is awesome.
Just now, prices fell from 2000 to 1700 and I bought a couple hundred.
How is trading a couple hundred 2000 satoshi coins back and forth even worth your time?

What happened in the alt-coin world between around April 15 - April 26?
Looking at the profitability chart of clevermining at the following site http://www.clevermining.com/profits, I see that there was a surge in profitability.
Does that represent some alt-coin that went to the moon, but now it fell off course and crashed into the sea? Or was it that the price of Bitcoin crashed, so you ended up earning 'more' bitcoin due to the more favorable conversion rate between altcoins and bitcoin?
I noticed a similar bump on wafflepool. Can anyone elaborate? Now profits have fallen back down to litecoin levels, boring.
115,200khash averaged to roughly 7200w full-bore, so right at 16-1 myself. Mixture of R9 290's and R9 290x's, 48 cards total running x11 right now. I still have about 40% of my power running Scrypt in the cooler zones (bottom racks in the garage, rigs in the basement, etc).
..among other things.

I'm seriously considering using mining rigs to partially heat my house next winter. Dunno what the best way to go about it though. Even though I have oil heat, which is theoretically more efficient than electric, our heating bill was a lot lower this year by using space heaters to heat the rooms we're actually in. So I figure if I can generate some coin while producing that heat, it'll defray the cost even further.
The plan is to buy used parts right before winter and resell them in spring. Obsolete ASICs might be cheaper and require less support hardware, but they'll prob lose value faster than GPUs (if that's still around.)
Thoughts?
My furnace didn't run once all winter. Was quite nice. Offset $200 in my gas bill and helped make a $800 power bill less overhead.
I sold a significant chunk of AC @ 2000 Satoshi's expecting it to have a brief dip like BC did after the mining ended.. and just used the entire proceeds to buy as much as I could @ 1095.. now almost 1300 and rising again.
Excellent..
