Is the website down? I got a 404 error followed by a long time from 2 different North America locations.  Now a cloudfare 524 error. It's Cloudflare's end. Mining is completely unaffected, and for MOST users the website is fine. It looks like a large region or two are having Cloudflare outages right now (even Cloudflare's site is down for me). Yeah I saw my ASICs submitting shares... just wanted to get a confirmation that the backend was fine (since you never sleep  ). I don't worry about the site unless I have trouble logging in from 3 locations and that was the case - but looks like a cloudflare issue which seems to have cleared up. |

If it's just for fun get whatever is cheaper just so you can hear the buzzing and fan noise lol. Antminer is probably a better bang/buck than a jalapeno currently.
From investment point of view it would be better to buy BTC directly.

I have 32MB video card on my laptop, can i earn at least $10 monthly mining some alter. coins?
32MB "card" won't be able to mine - no OpenCL or Cuda support. Never mine on a laptop, not worth it. |

I was watching the news on TV a few days ago, and there was a segment on how it is so much harder to fight fire when the weather's icy cold.
Anyway, it got me thinking. With all the miners ordering these new fangled ASIC hardware at home, there's bound to be at least a few idiots, with dollars signs dancing in their eyes, who cram as many units as they can for maximum profit. They don't plan for electrical load, blinded by greed. Electrical overload happens and fire will consume these idiots' houses.
Authority will catch on to this and will start to put their foot down, banning bitcoin mining at home.
Mark my word, this too shall pass.
Is that like the Fire Departments/local code enforcement banning indoor use of gas/charcoal grills for heating and yet every year tens of people die of CO poisoning. Stupid is as stupid does. |

It might have a small blip downward when people turn off the original BFLs/Avalons/ASICMiners - but remember these units put out measly amounts compared to the new beasts. You turn off 60 SC Singles for every Cointerra rig and you're even.
The only real way to see a drop is maybe a severe price crash or a network issue where many big pools get DDOS or providers go down.
Or my favorite - massive solar ejection wipes all crypto off the map.

I would sell you mining power as a 1 month contract  |

If you're staying on Win 7 (as OP mentioned), install Teamviewer on each machine and you can remote into each one from the one with the monitor.

XPM is still viable for CPU mining even though GPUs have jumped onto it.

Download GPUz, run it prior to starting the mining, see if the VRM temps are listed (you'll see GPU1, GPU2, GPU3 for example on a single GPU card). If they are check the temps.
I've had cards that had the VRMs go bad and the VRMs idle in the 70C range while the GPU is only 35C and when you start mining they shoot up to 100C+ and of course crash.
By mining with Intensity 11 you're basically throttling the card which should keep temps low enough to avoid crashes.

As noted above the difficulty change would be the biggest factor.
I can only assume the reason to mine at 1/2 speed would be because of varying electric rates based on time.
Something like that, yeah  Hehe you trying to be sneaky and stealth mine on somebody else's property? Be warned that is considered theft in most countries unless you have consent. If you're not stealing, an easier option would be to undervolt the card (if possible) and it should put out a lot less heat since power is determined by the sqaure of the voltage as opposed to linearly with the clock speed. A drop of 0.1v or 0.2v on the core will put out a lot less heat and then u don't need to spin the fan hard, you just mine about 80-85% of max speed. |

7970 or 280X are the best cards for altcurrencies.
For MH/$ yes, but MH/W is ruled by the 7950. |

Most of those companies never design their own PSUs, they just rebadge other companies designs and then skimp on components to drop the price.
I'm not sure how LEPA is ranked Enermax who LEPA is subset of. Enermax has been making nice stuff for years.
Coolermaster does have some nice PSUs once you go above 800W. The GX750 and below are meh, but their Gold 1200W is very nice.

How long have you been using those RM750s? I've heard they're not as good as the rest of the Corsair OEM models using Seasonic or CWT stuff. |

Tried GUIminer?
GUIMiner scrypt alpha has not been updated in quit some time. Google CGMiner 3.7.2 or lower. |
|

As noted above Molex would be OK for a 75W 6 pin but pulling 150W (even if it's only 2 more grounds) through cheaply made connectors will cause them to burn up. At the least use a PSU that has more 6 pin connectors - those Molex have crappy 18AWG usually.

Ghash just mined 11 if the past 15 blocks in a row (including 6 consecutive blocks)
Apparently the blind leading the blind. |

ScryptGuild is going public next week I guess. Gotta hop onto Freenode  |

Hopefully not company outright wins.
The more companies making gear the better as it will help drop prices a bit if there are many viable, in stock options to choose from.
Then we all win.
Unfortunately no company seems to be willing to sell hardware at a pricepoint where you can mine more BTC that you could have bought directly. It would be in their interest to mine with the hardware instead of collecting presales in BTC. |
