Title: Newbie here, Hello.
Post by: Vikerus on May 14, 2013, 10:09:35 PM
I had one hell of a time getting all of the resources working properly. Not to mention the time spent on Google. While I'm fairly new to all of this Bitcoin business. Right now I'm mining with a strong 320Mhash/s on my HD5870 with GUIminer.

I have about .07 BTC since I started 3 or 4 days ago. If you are feeling generous I would put donations to good use^^ (1Q11r2AZBPxH5bqgaXdnyTsQDtnka5aCh3).

I'm also underway with a new website. I plan to make it a one stop resource for BTC and LTC info as I learn more and more. My focus is rich useful content and ease of use. FYI this is not an ad site. Never will be. The only personal ads I have is in the top banner and the two links that take you to the lists of BTC and LTC pools they only serve to help pay for hosting. Other then that this is a purely content focused website for use by beginners to experts (right now it's more on the beginner side lol.) I even give credit to those who deserve it when I aggregate info from different sources. (I'll make a sort of Citation site to give credit to sources, seems like the polite thing to do.)

You can't really get to the site with any search engines yet cause it is so new. I would post a URL but I don't know if I can yet, since this is my first post.


Thanks for reading, what kind of hash rates are you all getting?

I guess now would be a good time to release that Link ^^ check it out: www.btcuniversity. tk

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone! Let me know what you think of the site I'm working on. Maybe somethings it's missing?

EDIT: why is my link being removed? It's not even an ad site :I

Vike...

Welcome man - newbie as well (at least on here). I think your site idea is an awesome one. There is such a ridiculous amount of information about BTC / LTC / etc. that it's almost taxing to parse through everything. If you could effectively marry the two in a glorious orgy of Crypto Currency romance explosion...veeeerrrryyyyy NAAAIIICCCEEEE (sorry, went Borat on ya) - Do it up!

Any info you have about how you got started mining would also be appreciated.

Cheers bud.

The problem I'm having is I don't want to upset other web-admins by aggregating info from their sites and this one too!
For now when I do take something from a site I restructure the code to make it mine first, then I give credit on a citation page so people can trace info to its source.
I'm still very novice at coding but I am committed to making this site work.

I was introduced to bitcoin mining a while back but I didn't dig deep enough to understand how to mine and what to do with the coins. Then I cam back to it about a week ago. It took and incredible amount of sorting through spam sites, videos, and forums. But I finally got GUIminer working well with my HD5870. With the previous overclock settings I had I was almost pushing in to 400 Mhash/s. But with temps at 89-98 I figured turning it down to save some degrees was smart. Running at 750 mem clock I get 340-350 with no programs running in the window. With a load of 99% and temps hovering at 85c I'm feeling safer mining dedicated 24/7.

I just switched to the cgminer and am getting about 30 more Mhash/s :o

What are you all running?


Title: Re: Newbie here, Hello.
Post by: Borisz on May 15, 2013, 11:48:36 AM
I use both cgminer and poclbm for mining. I have a slow card and both give the same speed.

Welcome and good luck. Consider investing in mining companies as well if solo mining becomes too prohibitively expensive.

I'll start. Canadian expat living in netherlands now.

Bought some BTC last week and immediately invested in ASICM... just got dividends. Good deal.

Wasted a bit of money on dice too. Beware.

Welcome.

You should get at least 370 KH/s (MH/s) with overclocked 5870.
- Use MSI Afterburner to overclock it.
- Watch your temps (max should be 90°C).
- Lower your mem clock to 300mhz (if you mine bitcoin - not a good idea at this point) and OC your GPU.
- If you get too many stales, lower the clock or increase your voltage on GPU.

If you are trying to mine scrypt coins - OC your Vmem with your GPU.

Thing is my card runs hot. Right now I'm at 750/750 on the clcks getting .03 bitcoin per 24h.
That's about 100bucks US a month equivalent and so it does pay for the internet .^-^.

Welcome!

I just skipped mining and went straight to buying coin on MtGox via Dwolla earlier this year.  ASIC mining is making use-your-old-pc or graphics card mining a significant investment with diminishing returns.
