I mined litecoin when it wasnt profitable.
Vert is the new lite  Smiley

I agree for bfgminer seems better hashrate ,it has reconnect issues though you have to restart if you got disconnected.

I think goodney designed it to reach 4 ghash, 5 is with pencil mod and you have to actively cool it.
24  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Best Gpu coin to mine on: May 09, 2014, 02:55:25 PM
Vertcoin in the long run.
X-11 may be better for cooler operation but it's actually easier to build asic for it.

The problem with scrypt-n is that if N go too high, you can't mine it well with GPU.. So no, it is not the best..

That is assuming GPU development is stagnant.
Which is so unlikely considering the r&d budget amd and nvidia has.

I have both S2 and SP10 in my racks...

SP10 is second to none in build quality and reliability.

S2 was built to be a cheap box they can just toss at customers and lower the price as needed -- like the S1.    

My S2 arrived as a pile of parts, i had to reassmble it and 4 of the hash boards were damaged in shipping so its hash as about 600 GH/s.  Trying to get replacements but communication is difficult.

SP10's are super high quality, very solid performers and a bit better power efficiency.    The web interface is very straight forward and simple to configure.

@ $3200 SP10 group buy VS $2599 for the S2, i would (and did) pay the extra money and buy the SP10 all day long.   Both should ship within a week or two.







Second that. Spondoolies is the mercedes of mining hardware. s2 is a cheap nissan sunny.

WTF these are bitcoin miners, as long as they do their job as specced who cares what they look or "feel" like?

+1

Anyways good luck with the sale and sorry for offtopics although I feel than profitability should be addressed. I am confident that at some point I will own a Spondoolies miner.

Thank you.


If you are holding to your 8.5 BTC and the exchange goes to $300 who do you think will suffer more? Me with the miner or you with the 8.5 BTC?


I fail to see your logic, both of you spend the same amount in the beginning. Either fiat or btc, it was all the same.
If btc tanks to 300$ i don't know who would feel better someone with a big balance and nothing else, or someone with lower balance and a pretty gear worth nothing.
The only way the gear owner won't suffer is if he has a crystal ball and his crystal ball says his gear will be in bitcoin museum in 2050 and worth 100 bar of pure gold.


If BTC tanks to 300$ I will still earn and I will still be able to spend money monthly with my SP10, while you holding just 8.5 BTC are stuck with them until the exchange rate climbs back up OR you will change the BTC at a loss. That's my logic.

What a fail....
Maybe you assume people get their miner paid by an angel.
Or You assume maintaining miner wont cost you time and money which wont come up if you buy btc directly.
If btc tanks both the miner and btc holder both loss value.
The best option is spend money elsewhere...

It's a gamble thats really what it is.

How the router connect to ant ? Wireless or wired ?
Does your network has the same 192.168.1xxx setting ?
I hope you're not using home quality router you may have issues i bet..most home routers would drop connections once connected to more than 10 devices or sometimes less.

Buying miner these days are like a hedged bet buying btc really...
I.e by spending 8 btc for this miner you'll earn 5 btc plus a pretty gear as a bonus.

Msi r9 270 fans are shit no doubt.
It sticks every now and then nothing oiling wont fix.
The ribbon risers are bad because soldering beneath the blue taping is low quality.
You get what you pay for, just get usb risers.

Before you all jump to conclusion let me speak about flower tech. They are in the same state as alpha marketting with gpu as competition in mind. So with knc and zeus suddenly came up marketting with much better spec and especially earlier delivery for zeus they are hardpressed to deliver something better.

Flowertech is also the least communicative in litecointalk at least alpha has taped out. No communications whatsoever from brock.

I believe in vertcoin devs.

Hi goodney thanks for reply
I tried your suggestions and  i can make two instances running tf and rf exclusively.

However i run the 6 rf first and then the 3 tf.
At first all rf runs fine after i run the tf
Bfgminer for rf immediately drops 1 of the miners in this case bpm 4.
And for bfgminer running 3 tf throws user privelege error
Help again please ?


If i unplug one of the RF so running 5 Rf (12,5W) and 3 Tf (15W) then bfgminer also like when running 6 rf drops the speed of 1 of the miner.
 

Thanks before

Hi, need help

I'm trying to run 3 TwinFuries with 6 RedFuries with bfgminer 3.99.0 provided by luke-jr here.
I'm using Orico A3H10 USB hub, the remaining 1 slot I use a USB fan to cool the miners.

My problem is I can only get 3 TF and 5 RF working, one of them doesnt work.

I try running 3.10.0 bfgminer and I can get all 6 RFs working.

I try to run separate instances but if i use for example - d 0 , it only enables 1 chip and disables the rest of the miners.

Is there a command line I can use to make them all work ?
Thinking of running  two separate instances the 3.10.0 bfgminer for the RF and the 3.99.0 for the TF, please help ?
