Title: New Mining Software Guide (work in progress) Post by: miningdude on May 13, 2013, 08:56:16 PM Hey folks! Here's a Bitcoin Mining Software Guide (http://www.coinminingrigs.com/litecoin-bitcoin-mining-software/) I wrote up today. It's a work in progress, but goes beyond just the software and explains some of the other variables involved in getting the best performance from GPU based bitcoin mining. I basically broke down the mining rig setup into 3 layers: hardware, software and environmental variables (cooling, etc). I'm looking for feedback, so I can improve the article and learn from you all. Thanks!

Good stuff, maybe a little hard to find the info you need. I would do something like: 1. Bitcoin A. Hardware B. Software (Cgminer/Settings, max perf) C. Temps and other stuff 2. Litecoin A. ... B. ... C. ... I`m not sure... My cgminer for BTC did not start with these settings (well it did but wacky) cgminer -o stratum+tcp://mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u User_worker -p xxx --gpu-fan 55,55,60 -I 18 -w 256 -g 1 I got this: https://i.imgur.com/xwvzoWD.png Then i tried 9 and it worked.. it even works with your stated 14 but i`m getting way less MH then i got while mining LTC. Ex.: LTC 3x6970 = 1415 KH BTC 3x6970 = 1181 MH System is very responsive so i`m guessing the cards are not maxed out Title: Re: New Mining Software Guide (work in progress) Post by: miningdude on May 17, 2013, 03:34:22 AM Yes. There's a lot of info on one page :)
About specific card settings; I'd recommend looking them up on the github page comparing cards and settings. Title: Re: New Mining Software Guide (work in progress) Post by: jengert on May 17, 2013, 08:24:48 AM very easy mining https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=160617.0
