Title: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: Dorkslayz on August 23, 2011, 12:33:31 PM Im fairly new to Bitcoin mining,

Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: Dorkslayz on August 24, 2011, 12:08:06 PM I have another question, Whats the best pool to use? (At the moment im in deepbit)
Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: BookLover on August 24, 2011, 01:40:22 PM I would say for BTC guild is the best pool but I'm not 100% percent sure they aren't cheating their miners. Of course you can't be 100% sure on any pool.
Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: Dorkslayz on August 24, 2011, 03:07:36 PM Ok and does anybody know of any exchanges which pay you in USD via paypal?
Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: Mousepotato on August 24, 2011, 04:38:23 PM Phoenix. I've tried Diablo and Poclbm but Phoenix consistently delivers the best performance in terms of % stales and MH/s.
Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: dub0matic on August 24, 2011, 05:59:45 PM http://bitclockers.com/ (http://bitclockers.com/) is a real descent pool. guiminer is real easy to setup for new miners. i suggest you get a new card real soon. 30mh/s isnt goin to get you anywhere
Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: Dorkslayz on August 24, 2011, 06:53:11 PM I should be getting it in around 63 days.
Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: Mousepotato on August 24, 2011, 09:13:50 PM Phoenix. I've tried Diablo and Poclbm but Phoenix consistently delivers the best performance in terms of % stales and MH/s. Used to be true. Now cgminer beats all three flat out when it comes to stales (and is equivalent to phoenix+best kernels when it comes to MH/s) Over the course of 40-50k shares, my stale rate with Phoenix is about .2%. How much better is cgminer than that? Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: seljo on August 25, 2011, 09:33:52 AM phoenix-1.50 with phatk 3% moded gets the highest hashrate around 300 MH/s on my 6870 and only 0.47% stales.
Title: Re: Whats the best miner to choose? Post by: 3phase on August 25, 2011, 03:59:53 PM Currently CGminer gives equal performance in MH/s to Phoenix (latest versions for both), but a lot of extras:
As for overclocking, atitweak is by far the simplest and most effective tool (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=25750.0). If you decide to give up the nice graphic environment, there are truly much better options. Good luck! |
