The discussion in this 1074+ page thread is some of the worst garbage on this site.

Tried the guide above with a AsRock BTC Pro H81 board and 6x Radeon 270 cards (not 270x). It doesn't work. When I select any of the three .inf files in the directory and then 7800 series (or any other series), it just says "The driver selected for this device does not support this version of Windows".
I have also tried modded drivers for v13.1 and also 13.12, however both never work in win7 OR win8.1 (I've been at this for a while now). This is because the modded files are not digitally signed. Disabling driver signing doesn't work after a restart or two even if you force the system to always operate in 'test mode'. Eventually the 6 GPU will show up all with yellow ! marks next to them because windows realises the drivers are not signed. Yes I have tried all 3-4 methods of disabling driver signing on all these OS. Signing the drivers using DSEO is supposed to be the #1 option in this situation, but in this case it is not practical because there are hundreds of files in the AMD driver package and it can only do one at a time via providing a direct link to the file... arduous.

I can confirm that output means you have a wrong driver version. If the newer driver versions are all that work on Win 8/8.1 then I guess you'll have to find yourself another OS.

If you only want a specific address like 18888888 or smtgh. you shouldn't use -r because it is extremely slow compared to standard prefixes.
Just use 18888888 17777777 ect then.
This is correct just create a pattern list of all the numbers it's much faster. |

I've taken down my warning since the pool op has responded to me in private, however this means they are monitoring this thread and the onus is on the pool op to respond to support requests on this thread and users to use their own discretion when mining here (moderators are not meant to act as police).
They responded to you because you are a moderator. I do not think us "common" members have the privilege to get a response from 50BTC regarding our "hacked" balance  Did anyone have a partial or complete balance restored? (Silence... I don't think so) I was PM'd and they restored the balance, months ago. I cannot be sure that balance restored was the "true" balance, as I had not kept an eye on it not used the pool for years. However, the funds I received were around about what I expected. |

Anyone know where I can get the checksum for CGminer 372? doesn't seem to be even available for download on cklovias anymore. Why? I hear you moaning! Because my Anti Virus keeps putting it in the vault. I have already put both a folder and a file Exception for it, but still It keeps removing it every time a scan is run. Very frustrating as I have Machine set to run Scans in the early hours of morning while I am asleep which usually means it looses a few hours of miming before I wake up and see CG she not be runnin' no more. Even worse if I sleep in like yesterday, turns out I missed about 5 hours of mining :O (which as I am sure many of you can relate is a complete disaster really. Sounds petty, but things are becoming sooooo competitive now that down time is Critical. any ideas? Please be reasonable.
Use sgminer. Its a fork of the the cgminer you refer to, except it will continue to be updated. Also get a new antivirus, I guess, if you can't even set an exception. We (miners) are the exception. 11. according to antivirus companies |

So I bit the bullet and decided to setup sgminer.. I found that cgwatcher does not understand the "new" format in sgminer config files eg: {
"url" : "pool:port",
"userpass" : "username:password"
}
I fixed it by changing the conf file to use the old cgminer format, which still works in sgminer, and cgwatcher understands this format: {
"url" : "pool:port",
"user" : "username",
"pass" : "password"
}I suspect using the pool manager in cgwatcher, specifying the username&password field would work, and you could use the new (first format I posted) format type. But it all depends on how you prefer to manage your miners/pools/profiles I guess... |

Basic concept:
__________________
|-----Exhaust------|
|---------8 Cards--|
|_______\________|
|- 8 Cards--\------|
|__________\_____|
|----------/-------|
|-- FAN--/--FAN---|
|________________|
|---AIR FILTERS---|
|________________|
Having fans push through multiple sections will really reduce the flow rate more than you probably expect. If you are going for mid-range GPU (R9 270 or 280) i'd suggest you use the higher end cards (R9 290) so that you can have fewer motherboards/CPU/RAM/risers which saves money and hastens ROI. My suggestion for air-flow would be to have 2 shelves of miners with fans and filters on the left side of each level. The air flow would pass across the shelf to the right and exhaust at the same shelf level. You may need to combine the two hot airflows as you don't really show how your vents will connect to the outside world. If you fan-force this setup then you will need a substantial opening in the garage to allow the pressure to equalize, ie. leave a window open. Although some sheds are poorly sealed anyway especially around the roofspace depending how it was constructed. Also re the above comment you can also get windows 7 to work with 6 (or more) cards using modded drivers, it takes some messing around: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=11761.0 |

per card (20x speedup)...
That is completely meaningless. You have to specify a model. |

In this thread: - People with years of experience with markets and generally very knowledgeable about finance topics, trying to apply their skills and experience to a thing which is unlike any before it, and,
- People who have no idea what they're are doing - trying to pull money out of thin air - and usually end up making bad decisions
I will leave it up to you to work out which category I fall into. |

AusCoin was a epic failure, the creator locked his own ANN thread for whatever reasons and the price crashed to 1 Satoshi. He should feel bad!  |

You really had no business gambling (I deliberately refrained from using the word "trading" here) with someone elses money. You got burned. Cash out what you have and make a plan to pay back the lost 25% of the loan over some time period.

Misplaced Burden of Proof
What if you were to say this to your friend: “I think God exists and I can prove it using logic.” Then your friend were to say, “How could you possibly do that?” Then you were to say, “How? Well, how can you prove God doesn’t exist using logic?
What’s happened here is tricky, and it happens often in conversations without either person realizing it. If you make a claim about something, it is on you to prove that the claim is true. If you say something is the case, you must show how it’s the case. What happened above is that you shifted the burden of proof to your friend, when in fact it was on you. You claimed that you could prove God exists using logic, so it was on you to do so. Your friend never claimed that he could prove God didn’t exist.
This is misplacing the burden of proof. We make claims all the time about the world, and sometimes people ask us to explain how we know the claims we are making. When this happens, it is on us to explain it, not them. A common form of this argument is known as the appeal to ignorance. The appeal to ignorance basically says, “You can’t prove it’s false, so it must be true.” Or it says, “You can’t prove it’s true, so it must be false.”Again, if you make a claim that something is false, it’s on you to show how it’s false. The fact that someone else can’t prove your claim to be true doesn’t make it false. This fallacy exploits the things about the world that we don’t know.
Notice that both of the following are fallacies: “You can’t prove God doesn’t exist, so he must exist.” “You can’t prove that God does exist, so he must not exist.”
Often, people who understand logic well—like lawyers and politicians—will deliberately misplace the burden of proof to make their opponent look bad. They know the burden of proof is on them, but they want to shift focus away from themselves so they purposefully commit a burden of proof fallacy to catch their opponent off guard. Now that you’ve taken this class, you can arm yourself against such people! Source: http://www.neo-philosophy.com/LogicWeek7.htmlMore: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/burden-of-proof.html |

If you want to do profitable CPU mining, my tips are:
- Have a lot of hardware ready to go, sourced as cheap as you can
- Free / leached electricity helps. By leached I mean at work or low cost tarrifs, not coathangering your power box
- If you must pay for power, use newer CPU with fab sizes not larger than 34 nm. Newer CPU are amazingly more efficient.
- Avoid buying old servers from eBay or site auctions. Yes they're extremely cheap but they'll always be disappointingly slow, inefficient, and noisy.
Lastly but most importantly, you must sink a lot of time into researching and looking for new CPU coins, which means browsing the altcoin forum daily. You have to get onto the new coins as soon as they're out as that is always where the profits lay in the long run. The time you spend doing this and tweaking mining software/hardware may not ever exceed your profits if you put a value on your time.
Unless you are lucky your efforts will probably be in vain when compared to margins from scrypt/scrypt-n/SHA-256 coins and hardware.

= 22680 boards (assuming 100% occupancy on all racks/rows as shown in close pics) So if each board is like the batch 3 product boards then they should be apparently 750 GH/s each So 22680 * 750 GH/s = 17010000 GH/s = 17010 TH/s = 17.0 PH/sThe current total network hashrate estimate is: 55.5 PH/s ( https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty) So following the assumptions I've made for these calculations, this room would accommodate 30.6% of the total network's hashrate. Please don't get shitty at KnC only based on my back of the napkin estimations.Hate to point out an error but as batch 3 products typically consist of 4boards each, every board has ~187 maximum potential hashrate. Thus total hashrate would be 22680 *187GH/s = 4252TH/s = 4,252PH/sThis would put them to a ~5.2MW power draw, assuming some minor improvements. This model is in line with the fact that their datacenter is, i think, a 10MW facility. Right well then their website images are entirely erroneous misleading, as they show 1.5 TH/s systems with 2 boards and 3 TH/s systems with 4 boards. Thank you for the clarification. I assume somewhere they state a disclaimer about their images not reflecting the actual product so they can be lazy and vary their product design without updating the site. |

Fuck KNC and how they screwed their customers. Wonder how much hash rate will drop if their DC would go offline  I guess less than 1% OK I'll math it. Assuming there's only 1 mining board deep per shelf, there are usually 6 boards per shelf, most "racks" in the pics appear 6 shelves full, there are at least 16 "racks" on each row on the left half of the room and 19 "racks" on the right half. There appears to be at least 18 sets of "rows" of racks on each side of the room (although we can't see whats behind the camera of course). So we have: Left half of the room: 6x6x16x18 = 10368 mining boards Right half of the room: 6x6x19x18 = 12312 mining boards = 22680 boards (assuming 100% occupancy on all racks/rows as shown in close pics) So if each board is like the batch 3 product boards then they should be apparently 750 GH/s each So 22680 * 750 GH/s = 17010000 GH/s = 17010 TH/s = 17.0 PH/s The current total network hashrate estimate is: 55.5 PH/s ( https://bitcoinwisdom.com/bitcoin/difficulty) So following the assumptions I've made for these calculations, this room would accommodate 30.6% of the total network's hashrate.

A good investment portfolio is not 100% of one thing or another.
You should not even have 100% silver right now. You should not exchange it for 100% bitcoin.
I suggest you find someone to assist you with creating a diversified portfolio, you'll probably thank yourself in 10, 20, 50 years time (or your children will might).

All set up and running. And yes, the backlight of 8 have burned out so far.
