Title: Mining on Slushs Pool Post by: Syrus on April 25, 2013, 10:53:29 AM Morning/Afternoon :)
I've recently started mining (just over 0.04btc after 3 weeks) and I've just gotten a new ATi/AMD card (a Sapphire HD7850 1GB) and I was wondering if anyone could advice me on what difficulty I should set it up as on Slushs pool? Are there any other tweaks I should be looking at implementing? I'm currently using GUIMiner if that helps. Thanks in advance ;D Title: Re: Mining on Slushs Pool Post by: Kruncha on April 25, 2013, 10:55:58 AM Suggested difficulty is 1 for anything under 2ghash/s.
Good luck :) K. Title: Re: Mining on Slushs Pool Post by: Syrus on April 25, 2013, 11:02:50 AM Suggested difficulty is 1 for anything under 2ghash/s. Good luck :) K.

Since they can tweak how you want to mine. Info on it here. (http://bitbash.blogspot.nl/2011/04/extra-flags-for-bitcoin-mining.html)

I'm getting 256Mh/s at the moment which is a hell of a lot more than I was getting before :D Title: Re: Mining on Slushs Pool Post by: Zilarion on April 25, 2013, 11:23:40 AM You might also want to read up on flags, you probably did something like -w256 -f60 but there are quite a few more, and it's usually great to know what they actually mean!

Couldn't stretch to that on my budget, it's mainly for games tbh... the mining is a fringe benefit :D Will send a couple of Satoshi your way now :) Title: Re: Mining on Slushs Pool Post by: Syrus on April 25, 2013, 11:30:43 AM Yup, total newb... managed to screw up Krunchas donation lol :D sent again, oh well :)

Hope you don't think I was being sarcastic - I only had coinreaper rewards so far (yet to get a payment from Slush). Check my join date to see how newb I am. My account was .000xxxxx, and now is .00xxxxxx :) Thanks again. K.
