You seriously need to run for 24hours or your figures are quite MEANINGLESS.
Even at 24h it's possible to get a variance high enough to make it look better than it is.
I can't, I've got too many games to play and not enough time to play them. Sure, variance can make it look higher (or worse) but by around 50 MH/s on a consistent basis ever since Catayst 11.7 came out? I find that highly unlikely. |

I'm sorry, clearly I don't know what I'm talking about.
I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about, I'm asking if you've tried running 2 workers on a single 5870 using Phoenix and phatk2. |

6870 Northern Islands has 1120 stream processors of the same architecture as the 5870 which has 1600. Performance is linearly related to architecture * stream processors * Mhz. Therefore at exact same clocks, the 6870 should be (1120/1600) 0.7 * Mhash of a 5870. At 1000Mhz, the 5870 gets at best ~460Mhash. Therefore a number as high as 375 for a 6870 is ... highly unlikely.
What makes you think that a 5870 can only get ~460 MH/s? Have you tried running 2 workers on a single 5870? Maybe you'll get over 500 MH/s if you do. |

Just for verification, would you mind posting a screenshot? Not that I don't trust you, but those results are beyond anything I've ever seen for a 6870.
 Here's some I posted in another thread the other day:   And here's another one I just took:  |

Those are fake reports of guiminer I guess. Best to check your real hashrate is to use 24h stats on ozcoin. And could be as well that you're getting extra mhashes out of your cpu. Check your cpu usage.
Been there, done that. The results are legit. I've been using those settings for over 6 months and both guiminer and every pool I've mined at show the same results. I can't really check results over a 24 hour period as I'm not a dedicated miner, I'm a dedicated gamer. Run a second worker on phoenix 1, and you get a major boost in Mh/s. Well, you do with 6870's anyway and someone else told me that they got a 40 Mh/s increase on a 5830 at stock settings. |

There's variability in the shares, 15 minutes probably isn't nearly enough to get a good idea of how much you're hashing. Try running for a 24 hour period and see what happens, then try again with a single instance.
I'd have to stop using my PC for a day. That's not going to happen. Just out of curiosity, what are you guys getting for shares per minute? |

You should find these results interesting I think.
Card Manufacturer: AMD
Card Model Number: HD 6870
Card OEM: XFX (Reference)
MHash per Second: 375
Shares per minute: 5.4
Core Clock: 1000
Memory Clock: 200
Average Operating Temperature: 74C
Ambient Temperature: 17C?
Fan Speed: 40%
Host OS: Win 7 32-bit
Driver Version: Catalyst 11.9
Mining Program: guiminer v2011-07-01 running 2 workers
Command Line Flags/GUIminer Settings: both workers using -k phatk2 platform=0 device=0 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=6 worksize=128 FASTLOOP=false
The key is running a second worker.

Your mhash might hugely be higher, but are your shares/minute higher too? Shares is what counts. Also I realize this might be hypocritical to my above post
I'd never considered it before. So, I just stopped everything running on my PC and restarted guiminer to wipe the stats. After 15 minutes, one worker had 43 shares, the other 38. (43 + 38) / 15 = 5.4 shares per minute. |

However, I'll be paying out the account balances to the last saved address later this week. Please contact me if this is a problem.
Will that include the unpaid SMPP balances? |

What SDK and clocks/voltage are you running to get 375MH/s out of a 6870?
They're in the top right corner of the pic. - Catalyst 11.9
- 1 GHz core
- 200 MHz mem
- 1.187 V
- 40% fan
- Extra flags: -k phatk2 platform=0 device=0 VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=6 worksize=128 FASTLOOP=false
The key is to run 2 workers on the one card. With a single worker, even at 13 aggression, the result is similar to the other miners. If you guys get a decent boost in hashrate from this, don't be shy with the donations now, lol.  |

I'm a guiminer v2011-07-01 user and for a very good reason. I use a 6870 and get around 375 MH/s with guiminer compared to around 315 MH/s with cgminer. I've tried all the miners with pretty much every config, and none of them even come close to guiminer/phoenix/phatk2. My hashrate is better than that when doing multiple thing on my desktop including watching video. I've recently tried the new version of guiminer and noticed that it crippled my internet speed so I went back to v2011-07-01. |

So what's this competition based on? Looks? Performance? What? If it's looks, then that's just plain fucking stupid.

What's the format for the error codes and does anyone know where I can find this info?
"result":
"error": What goes here?
"id":
Is it a fixed format like "id" or does the format vary like the value of result?

Different aggression values for pheonix causes this behaviour. Setting the agression on all miners to the same value should fix the problem.

It's at the wall:
What's the wall? I couldn't find that text anywhere on the page you linked to, so I'm assuming this "wall" thing is not on that page. For all testing, the Watts Up Pro power meter was used watts up proOh, I get you now. The wall as in where the sockets plug into.  |

That's much better. Now at least we can see that something is happening. Cheers.
Could you change the balances from USD? I don't care what they're worth in USD as I'm from the UK. Also, listing the balances in USD just means that those values are inaccurate.
Keep the "Bitcoin value", in fact add GBP and EUR in as well, but those balances need to be in BTC.
The reason it's in USD and the reason we put a monetary figure on it is pretty specific. One, we charge 0 fees, so if you'll notice the current value is a link to our Tradehill referral link. That's so the pool can try to earn some income to pay for itself. Having a dedicated server on a decent network with power protection, DDoS protection, etc, isn't cheap. Second, we are in the US so we chose to use USD. I think you have a valid concern, and maybe in the future we can add something in the account details for default currency to display (one of them simply being BTC, but all of that info is available in the account details page) but for the time being it's going to stay as USD. There are more important things to add at this early point in the pool's life. I'm sorry if that's not the answer you wanted to hear at this moment but it will be addressed some time in the future. The "Bitcoin value" with the Tradehill link is fine, it's the 2 balances underneath it that make no sense. The price of USD compared to BTC is continually fluctuating so those balances will never be accurate. They absolutely 100% need to be in BTC. The user's local currency will not do, it needs to be BTC or it's totally inaccurate. I might give you guys a try later then, but it's not for me at the moment. |

- You can't list power management as a positive and a negative. Look at that graph, that's power consumption when gaming (ie. Graphics use [like when we mine]). If you read the whole article, even idle/minimal use desktop linux uses less power. Yes, look at that graph. It clearly states at the top "Phenom II Power Consumption". Read the article. That's a Phenom II system, which i chose as most miners here use AMD systems (and AMD have higher idle/load wattages than Intel). I did read the article. It makes no mention of a Phenom II system. It does however, directly contadict you: With similar workloads, for the most part the power consumption is comparable between Ubuntu 11.04 and Windows 7 Pro SP1. The only major differences came during Flash-based HD video playback being more efficient under Windows, power consumption while OpenGL gaming, and in select other areas. Also, the Phenom II's have a TDP between 65W and 140W depending on the model, so it's obviously not measuring the power consumption of any half-decent video card or it would be a lot higher. |

Yeah, the website is pretty useless without any stats. If you've got the info in a database then what's the problem dispalying it? It's a 5 minute job to throw a simple table up so if it's not sorted by the end of the day I'll probably bail out due to lack of confidence in the site.
