h20 any word on this?

I have been mining or buying PXC since the beginning and I have pretty much ignored FTC and WDC.  If I mine/buy only PXC from this day forward will I be at a disadvantage because I haven't mined/bought any FTC or WDC or should I diversify between the 3?  Hopefully this makes sense

Thanks for responses

Hey if you want to know more visit this thread

Of course there should be some limits to it or PXC would forget where Earth was.

REASON BEHIND THE GUIDE:

Some people are asking question about how to start mining PXC . So I made a simple and step by step guide for them. This guide is also applicable for other altcoins based on Scrypt algo(Litecoin).

SOFTWARE AND DRIVERS YOU WILL NEED:

Here I assume that you have a fresh install of Windows. So download all these software before moving to step by step guide.

1) ATI Drivers 12.3 and SDK. (Download and install these before moving and further)

SDK link

2) PXC Wallet. (All the coins you will mine or buy will be stored here)

Wallet link

3) CGminer. (This is the mining software, Download the latest version)

4) CGwatcher. (This software makes sure that the mining software keeps running non-stop)

5) Registeration in a pool where you will point your miner. You may find a list of pools at the end of this guide. Or to see the list now follow this link.

STEP BY STEP GUIDE:

I have divided this guide in to four main steps.

• PXC Wallet installation.
• Pool Registration.
• CGminer Configuration.
• CGwatcher Configuration.

PXC Wallet:

1) Extract the PXC Wallet to a place you like.

2) Run the Wallet by double clicking on Phenixcoin.exe

3) Leave the Wallet running until it downlads the blockchain and syncs completely. This is necessary or you will not receive any coins.

4) while your wallet is synchronizing click on Receive Coins tab there you will see an Address consisting of lots of random alphabets and words. This is the Address you will use to receive coins from the pools or people you buy from.

Pool Registration:

1)You may find a pool list at the end of the guide or click the link below to see now. Select any pool you like. I am using Phenixmining.com

http://forum.phenixcoin.com/index.php/topic,11.0.html

2) Click on Register tab and fill in the form to get registered.

3) Login to the pool and click on My Account>Account Details.

4) Now you will see a new page put the Address you have in your wallet in the Payment Address field. You can also set some other parameters in this page.

5) Now click on  My Account> My Workers

6) Set the worker name and password as you like it should be simple and click on update user button. I recommend you to put 1 in both fields.

CGminer Configuration:

1) If you have Windows 7 open My Computer, click on Organize tab on the top left corner of explorer and goto Layout and select Menu Bar. If you are using Windows XP leave this step.

2) Open Windows explorer and click on tools drop down menu and then click folder options. A new window will appear click on View tab and uncheck Hide extension for known file types. Click Apply and OK. ( This step is necessary)

3) Now extract Cgminer to a folder you like.

4) Open the cgminer folder, Right click there and create a new text file. Rename the text file to CGminer.bat

5) Right click on the CGminer.bat file and select Edit.

6) Here is an example configuration. You will have to find your own config from the link in step 7.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://phenixmining.com:9500 -u your user name.1 -p 1 --shaders (somenumber) --gpu-engine (somenumber) --gpu-memclock (somenumber) --intensity 17 --worksize 256 -g 2 --thread-concurrency(somenumber) --gpu-threads 1 --vectors 1 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1

Somenumber = The numbers you will find in the link in step 7. Remove parentheses() while putting those numbers.

If your card is not listed in the link in step 7 then remove the bold lettered commands from CGminer.bat

You can find the pool address and port in the Getting started section of pools website.

7) Goto this link to find settings for your GPU.

http://litecoin.info/Mining_Hardware_Comparison#ATI_.28AMD.29_GPUs

CGwatcher Configuration:

1) Extract it to a place of your choice.

2) Run it by double clicking on CGWatcher.exe

3) Now click on Monitor tab and check all the options.

4) Click on Settings>Manage profiles and in the miner paths browse to the CGminer batch file you created and select it.

5) Click save and close.

6) You can also enable other options you may find useful in settings tab.

The Final step:

From now on when ever you want to run the miner you will just need to run CGwatcher and it will handle the rest. It will also control the temperature of your GPU so don't worry about temperature.

If you guys would like screen shots to be added do let me know. I didn't add them now because I don't think they are necessary.

Happy mining.

Dev are slow on development. We need little fast work.

added some stats on left panel

lol I forgot about that URL... we've been looking for a decent domain, but that will work..

how about 1hr


ok I installed it, John will get it setup, while I finish off the exchange..

multiport has been flaky the last few minutes. It acts like it is switching coins (dropping out for a minute), but no switch is occuring.

you will prob get 1-2 block a day per 1000kh

A lot of us are anxiously awaiting an update on this.  I see that the network hashrate is still dropping and there are more people selling on crypsy.  I am currently trying out solo mining to see how it goes.
