For anyone wanting to buy or sell bitcoin try out this site https://www.solidi.co/, I have not tried it myself but it was recommended by a friend who has used it and exchange rates seem to be better that bittylicious with smaller gap between sell and buy prices.

Is anyone with Nvidias running Blake2s? My GTX960 is doing a rather surprising 1.4GH/s for >£1 a day at the moment Seems to be Cuda-based miners only though - I can't find an AMD miner which does it.

MY 1080 Tis got rented out on Equihash on MRR again before I could look at alternatives so cannot point them elsewhere at the moment. I did stop them for a little while to test out NH. They were doing about £9 for 13 GH/s on Blake2s but quickly dropped to £6, then switched to lyra2REv2 £9 for 130MH/s and the current rental on MRR on Equihash is about £10.50/day so I am not loosing anything. I could potentially set them as lyra2REv2 on MRR and earn a bit more but market for it on MRR is quite small and slow for ti on MRR so could be long wait until they get rented.

New Scrypt miner a bit more efficient than L3+ http://www.innosilicon.com/html/a4+-miner/index.html

L3+ will do the same speed overclocked at aboout 1000W this one is 750W, a bit more expensive @ USD 3200 and minimum order qty is 50 units. Depending how fast and how much they ship could bring down profitability for L3+ but then again that should push coin prices up so could be a good time to acquire LTC and other Scrypt coins to see price go up even further in not too distant future.

Might be too much considering there are only about 5 of us active in this thread, how many can I put you down for? - 40?

Tried a bit of other side of mining as well renting a rig myself on MRR and mining some Bytecoin. It would have been cheaper to do it myself but for the sake of experience 0.00043920 BTC is not much, that should earn me about 500 BCN in 3 hours worth 0.000295 BTC. I will have a look at using NiceHash to mine as well. Just having a look at the infrastructure from different angles and getting more informed to better utilise my resources.
