Download Trixx  here:  https://www.sapphireselectclub.com/ssc/TriXX/

Trixx has all the controls to change the voltage and clocks on your card. 

Next:
Bump the gpu engine to 1055, bump the memory clock to 1500.  Adjust the voltage until you can run it for hours without hardware errors (Takes a but of playing around to get it perfect).  On my card it is 1.175 V.  Might be different on yours


Here is my .bat after all those changes.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o netcodepool.org:3333 -u user.name -p password --thread-concurrency 16320 --gpu-engine 1055 --gpu-memclock 1500 --no-submit-stale --intensity 13 --worksize 256 -g 2


My card with those settings usually gets around 720-730.   When I first started before Trixx, I was getting around 500 as well.

Yeah they do seem to be using alot of different sockpuppets to try to generate interest.

The entire idea is hilarious.  They claim they can't touch the pre-mine, and that it is just there to help pay for interest on the 2.8% of the coins, which are mined for 1000 years, meaning only 0.0028% of the coins will be in the hands of "the people" each year.  They want to drive the price up by keeping supply very low, They then somehow think they will be able to pull out and sell the 97% of the coins in the not so distant future in order to purchase an island or land in a "Safe-neutral" country, and build a large modern city, of which will have no outer governmental ties.  They will run the government/new found country via voting with Marinecoin ownership.

You couldn't write that story any worse if you got a B grade movie writer to write it during a massive Acid Trip.   On the other hand, if Sharknado can make enough to warrant making Sharknado 2, I guess the movie rights for this coin could probably sell as it is quite laughable.

There is no such thing as a block eruptor for Scrypt. 

The AS in ASIC pretty much wraps that up.   Application Specific.

You can however buy some eruptors and use them to mine small SHA-256 alt coins like Zetacoin or Unobtanium.

224  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CRYPTSY IS THE BEST!!!!! on: January 21, 2014, 10:29:07 PM
I have to agree with you there 100%.  They have their technical difficulties, but of any exchange, theirs seems decades ahead of the rest.  And when there have been problems, they are usually resolved fairly quickly.


Also, when dealing with cryptocurrency anything, these aren't huge international companies we are dealing with, and I highly doubt Cryptsy has been making millions in revenue off their site.  If it is that easy, I would recommend everyone jumping in and opening their own exchange, as competition is always good.

So basically you are asking for 15 billion dollars in donations to buy a city???
226  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: decentralised vs centralised governments & marinecoin on: January 21, 2014, 07:35:06 PM
Am I reading that right?  You are trying to equate the value of a corporation which markets and sells goods to the value of a cryptocurrency because they are traded like stocks?  And since some large dying corporations are valued in the billions, that your currency should also be valued at the same???

SamySamy1.

Their coin is different in that they don't have to mine.  They have premined 97.2% of all the coins, and have a centralized bank like system.  They will then pay out interest on the coins you have.  Much different than PoS. 

If you read into their info, they are essentially trying to get rich enough to purchase an island or something and build a city on it.  Then form their own government on that island, and the only currency used on the island would be their coins.  They would also bring in money from the tourist industry, as people would be coming to the island for vacations ect.

It's definitely a new concept anyways.  I will give them that.

I wish them the best of luck, but I don't think I will be mining this one.
229  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Marinecoiin marinecoin.org radical new idea first digital nation on: January 21, 2014, 04:45:33 PM
Lol, I looked at the site.  But still 97.2% premine and allowing the remaining 2.8% being able to be mined over the next 1000 years is more than enough to say no to this one.  I don't know how you think the coin will be worth $5.50 US in a year.  Lol, seems like something that was calculated during a major acid trip.

Plus the fact there are tons of SPAM posts from sock puppets like yourself is even more of a reason to say no to this one.
230  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: alot of people are mining MTC were we missing something on: January 21, 2014, 03:43:49 PM
Yep samysamy1 you are correct, you have to have your client open in order to gain PoS blocks. 

I do like the weird wacky concept behind this coin, and its cult like mentality.  Also like the idea they want to build a city ect.

But what I don't like is the 97.2% premine, and leaving the remaining 2.8% to be mined at a stable rate for the next 1000 years.  This means if the coin was actually worth $5.50 US after the first year, the miners would have 0.0028% of the coins, and the devs would have 97.2% of the coins, making them the richest people in the world.  I don't think they have thought things through, which is why I'm not buying into this one.
231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Coin Ideas? on: January 21, 2014, 12:46:35 AM
The @home and BOINC utilization has been done twice now that I am aware of.  Not quite sure how they are doing so far.

As for the giving points away on a site.  This is totally possible as well, but you would probably need to pre-mine the entire amount, or pre-mine half or something so you had enough coins to give away.  I think TAG coin might work in this way, but I am not positive.  It is a rewards coin.

I wouldn't call that small of a jump the whales moving in, but any jump is a good jump.
233  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: alot of people are mining MTC were we missing something on: January 20, 2014, 08:53:05 PM
To Samysamy1:

The way a PoS coin works is that it essentially pays you to keep your coins untouched in your wallet.  In a PoS coin, the longer you leave your coins untouched in your wallet the more Coin age they accrue.  This Coin Age mines the PoS part of the coin (Making it more energy efficient), and alot of coins have average interest rates the PoS pays out.  It's not much, usually around 5% a year.    Meaning if you left 1000 coins in your wallet for a year, and never touched the coins, added more to your wallet or mined with the PoW part of the wallet, at the end of the year you should see about 1050 coins sitting there, which is what I call gaining interest.

Since you don't understand cryptocurrencies very well, I will give you a brief description of what I have picked up so far.  Most cryptocurrencies work on the basis of a PoW system.  The way a cryptocurrency works is everyone is sharing the blockchain.  It's all on a Peer to Peer network.  If we lived in utopia, where there was no such thing as theft, the blockchain could exist without a single watt of power being used for keeping the chain secure.   What they devised instead since we know many people steal IRL was to get all the computers play an energy sucking game with the voting of which chain is the correct one going to the person that finds the block.  If a person or entity can find multiple blocks in a row, they can effectively tell the network that the blockchain they created is infact the correct one, and the one that is correct is one that was a fraud, thus it is rejected.  This is called a 51% attack, and is the main reason they want the power distributed to as many people as possible.  

What a PoS cryptocurrency does, since the developer SunnyKing noticed was the PoW system was using alot of the world power to keep playing this game of who gets the block.  So he invented a new greener way to distribute the voting power by having a portion of the coins power coming from the old PoW system.  The other part would be generated by coin age of the coins.  Thus if a person wanted to 51% attack a coin, they would not only have to get the majority of the voting shares from the PoW side, but also own enough coins to have a coin age to get the PoS share of the coin.  Yes this system does allow the coin rich to get control of the coin and get greater power.  But it holds itself that a person that owns such a large share of the currency would not want to sacrifice all their coins to take the crypto-currency down.  As time goes on, and all the rewards are divided out, essentially they could turn the PoW electricity sucking part of the coin off and have the cryptocurrency run basically energy free going off the premise that no one will want to kill all their coins in doing the attack.  

Don't take my word for it, I think I have it, but I could be totally wrong.



After reading more, it looks like they are actually just buying back, or taking control over portions of the coins available to control the price, since you can't dump what you no longer control.  They are then paying an interest to you on the coins that they now have control over in their untouchable vault.  
234  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: alot of people are mining MTC were we missing something on: January 20, 2014, 06:19:20 PM
What the heck???

I have no idea what I read there.  They want to create a city?  And something about getting interest for retirement?  I wonder if they mean they have PoS, which does pay you "interest" on coins that are aging in your wallet.  But they are definitely not the first coin in the world to do that.  If anyone has more info on this one, let me know, it sounds weird but interesting.


Looks like the Coin itself is 2 minute block time, and 1 coin reward for the next 1000 years, with no halving ect.  What's very odd, is the website is/should be their sales tool to tell people what they are doing but instead they want you to e-mail them to get the basic info of the coin.

It's still going to take a bit to get this coin turned around.  You don't even really need to work on hard forking the coin to get the difficulty adjusted.  It's pretty low right now.  

All you need to do to get everything back on track is:

a) Pay out all the rewards you promised to miners for finding blocks while difficulty was above 7.

b) Get to work promoting the coin.  Not just giving out Baconbits in giveaways.  But doing things like trying to get it on an exchange.  Keep posting updates and things to keep this thread rolling, and up on the thread list so it gets read and interests more miners.

c) Explain to the miners (Since a few of us are ticked yet) why you left (I know you said you were busy with life and work), but many of us noticed you were posting alot on the USDe threads, and had the time to photoshop and post pics in that thread, and it looked alot like you were mining there as well, yet you left your own coins thread untouched for almost a week.  Yes it will suck having to apologize, but you need to get people back on your side.  The internet leaves a paper trail.

d) Fix the Original post.  The retarget should not say 3 hours.  It's not.  Put Retarget every 600 blocks.  or if you want to keep with a time aspect, say every 5 hours, as 3 hours at 30 second blocks is every 360 blocks, and not 600.   Also remove the line that stated there is a group of developers, since it looks like it is only you.


After that some miners will come back, and the retarget will be hit in very little time.  Which will give you some time to fix the wallet.

We need to push those sites to this Block Explorer, since the 2 main ones listed on the OP seem to be dead.

I agree that it would be nice to see this coin make a come back. 

Also letting you know the retarget is 531 Blocks away, and not 64 blocks.
