Gotta love yellow 12/2 Romex...
I only had to add 3 dedicated circuits in the basement for my setup. It does pay to be an amateur electrician, hiring one would have been expensive! |

My property uses over 11,000 or more in the summer so you can imagine. Mind you we have 4 A/C units and multiple refrigerators.
How much of your 11,000 kWh is attributable to BTC Mining? |
|
|
|
|
The power co says generation is like 7.65 cents but that doesn't cover transmission. Based on my last few months bills, after all of the transmission, generation, fees I am paying 12.2ish cents per kWh.

Just got my first substantial electricity bill as a result of BTC mining... Just curious what kind of electricity bills other miners are getting.
This is for about 3 weeks of mining at around 5/8 of what I am mining now. Before BTC mining, in the summer months I was getting bills for 900-1000 kWh.
Total kWh used 3,233 at a total cost of $400.
Will have my first FULL bill in 2 weeks and will report back then.

any ideas why i get this ?
It is a known bug on systems other than Win XP, just ignore it. It doesn't affect anything. |

Anyway to not have the 'Deepbit is temporarily unavailable' message appear? I would rather it just be 'Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC'. When I get the 'unavailable' message, my miner doesn't failback to my alternate pools. When the server is just unreachable and says Problems communicating with bitcoin RPC, it fails back... |

When mining on 2 of the GPUs, GPUZ is reporting that the GPUs that are NOT mining are running 300 & 300 and the GPUs that are mining are running 980 & 1050. If I change Clock speed, the MH/s do change but from the beginning it always looked like clock and fan speed worked & voltage and memory speed didn't. |
|
|
|
it is normal for the speeds to jump if you start mining - the card is switching from lazy powersafing 2d mode to hard work 3d mode. the problem is that the high values should stay to what you put them.
According to GPU-Z, the Graphics Card tab says Clock is 1000 and Mem is 300, but the sensor tab shows Clock @ 1000 and Mem @ 1050. Ever seen it show two different values? Can someone with a 4 card 68XX setup check to make sure everything is working properly? I just tried ClockTweak on a 1 card setup and it seemed to set everything right. I am starting to think that similar to how Afterburner doesn't work on a 4 card setup, maybe ClockTweak isn't working too. |
|
|
|
in gpu-z are you on the "graphics card" tab or on the "sensors" tab?
The "graphics card" tab shows level 2 speeds while the "sensors" tab shows currently active clock speeds. that means if the card is idle there will be level 2 speeds displayed on the "graphics card" tab but level 0 speeds on the "sensors" tab. if the card is working hard then both will show level 2 speeds.
if you look at the "graphics card" tab it should always be the same as what clocktweak sets / reads (for level 2; refresh may take a couple of secs on the "graphics card" tab).
make sure you are looking at the right card. the order of gpus could be different in gpu-z and clocktweak!
I was looking in the Sensors Tab and at the right card. I normally use the -a all but thought that might not be setting all of the GPUs, so I tried setting just one and that netted the same results... When I am not mining, the core and mem speed drop to 300. Then start mining and they bump up to 1000 and 1050. Then stop mining and they go back down again to 300. Using GUI Miner. Would love to get this solved. Thanks |
|
|
|
|
So I can confirm that on my setup, according to GPU-Z, the only settings that are changing are the core speed and fan speed while GUIMiner is running... Anyone else able to duplicate my issue on their setup?
|
|
|
|
|
No. Uninstalled CCC and afterburner. Afterburner wont run on a 4 card setup anyways.
|
|
|
|
|
Have noticed something weird though. When I set mem to 300, core to 1000, and voltage to 1000. Clock Tweak says it is set. GPU-Z shows that mem and core are at 300. When I start mining, mem shoots to 1050, voltage to 1172 and core to 1000 according to GPU-Z. If I try to use clocktweak to reset, GPU-Z stays the same. Will try to test this out a little bit more and reply back.

Just started bringing all of my miners back to BTCG... I renamed a couple and added a few more since the DDoS. My miners that I had with BTCG before everything went down are able to connect, but the ones that I renamed and added are getting "problems communicating." I know in the grand scheme of things, this isn't a huge problem. It seems like the pool isn't accepting new miners? Maybe the pools aren't syncing the login names of the miners. Thought it may be on a delay similar to how the stats are, but it has been about 30 mins and they still aren't connecting. Eitherway, just wanted to make you aware. Great job on getting everything back to operational. Can't wait for the super server!

Tradehill has not worked for me all morning (on two different ISPs)... Down for anyone else?

New version out with plenty of new features.
Where to find the update at? Page on the first post is down. Thanks! |

Anyone else's payment not actually make it to their wallets? I had a payment marked on my account, its been 4+ hours and its still not in my wallet.. When I check the transaction# via the link that the deepbit payments page provides, Blockexplorer.com says that its an invalid transaction number :-(..
Just thought I would ask if this is a one off issue, or if anyone else is having payment issues too.
Thanks
Hands
I am in the same boat... It has been 3 maybe 4 hours and no payment has left DeepBit. @Tycho, can you check on the outgoing payments? Starting to get worried. EDIT: Just now showed up... sent the payment during block 135074 or 135075 and it wasn't included until 135093. |
