Hahahahahahahaha "pump n hump not pump n dump " thats my unofficial motto for SXC ROFLMAO..

As far as my vote is concerned this is the one to beat !!!!

Sorry, I'm a bit confused, and it's been a long time since I used GUIminer, I just love CGminer cause it gives me the best hash without trashing my cards..

Do you want to have your GPU's mining at different pools (which doesn't make much sense, you might get more blocks, but your share of each block would be less and the pool options in CGminer allow you to spread your hashrate around)

Or do you want your GPU's mining different coins, in which case you just run two or more instances of CGminer, and just disable the GPU's eg.. CGminer instance 1 mining BBQ, GPU 1 and 2 disabled, CGminer instance 2 mining LTC, GPU 0 and 2 disabled, CGminer instance 3 mining DGC, GPU 0 and 1 disabled, which in a three card setup would be each  mining a different coin.. and three different copies of cgminer running at the same time. You could do the same thing but have them mining at different pools if you wanted...

As for cards, it's up to you.. I've no experience with 7950,s .. I've run 6770's, 5850's, 5870's, 5970's and now 7970's with older cards filling a couple empty slots..

2 7970's should put out 1.4MH, 3 7950's from what I've seen on the net 1.8, and 3 7970's should get you about 2.1 MH, with tweaking.. My experience is the more cards you throw in a rig, the less effective they are, but maybe I didn't tweak hard enough..

If it was me, I'd go twin 7970's and maybe a cheap second hand 5850, (300+mh) or 6770 (200M/h) off of ebay, which would place me in the 1.7-1.8 M/h zone until I maxed it out with another 7970, but thats just me ...

One thing that should be mentioned..

Heres a rough guide to hashrates of cards..

http://litecoin.info/Mining_Hardware_Comparison

If you get the best cards you can, you got a spare slot to "up" your hashrate later..

If you get the best cards you can afford to fill every slot, then you got a second hand card that you've taken out when you want to up your hash.. and you won't recover the purchase price of it..

On the other hand.. If a card fails, you got a replacement on hand to keep hashing with..

Just saying.. 

Hmmm I've accidently had more than one instance of CGMiner running mining two different coins on one rig... just ran with reduced hash on both..

So I'm guessing you can have two instances running, 1 with GPU 0 disabled, and the other with GPU 1 disabled and it won't effect hashrate too much..

CGMiner will point all the cards at one specific mine.. you can give it many different pools and it will use them in order of listing.. eg if one pool fails, it moves down to the next in it's list, until it goes back up (Failover) , or you can tell it to send an even amount of shares to every pool (Load Balanced, from memory) or even to use the pool that is the fastest.. there's a few options round robin, rotate, balanced etc..

 

Personally I don't think systems are the problem.. It's people that are the problem..

No matter what system you build, people will corrupt it or work around it for their own ends...

And again after the difficulty drop... Looks like a bigger miner is hitting up the network until the difficulty rises, pulling his hash off til it drops again, ....rinse and repeat.. no sweat ...

OK guys.. Time for an update..

Got another client today, with a finished new feature which I'm not going to explain, because I don't want ideas being stolen. It isn't earth shattering but I think it is way cool...

On the serious side Lava told me that the big issue the "desync fix" passed "initial testing", which means he wants to do more testing to be sure, and if we bring out a client that dies or has a major bug instead of a fix when the change should occur, we got a dead coin.

Whether the next round of testing passes and it is released soon, or whether it requires tweaking and will be delayed, nobody can say..

I'm a major investor in terms of the network hash, in fact I'm waiting on my next power bill, which I will be charged 23 point something cents/Kwh, for  9000 Kwhs for the last 3 months.. Two of those months will be charged at an extra 20%, you can ask kesley about electricty prices over here.

That's about 2400$ I'll be owing sometime tomorrow.. I didn't have all my hashpower pointed at SXC during that time, but I'm trying to increase my balance of SXC by swapping my stocks of other alt coins, so I'm all in. If anybody has gotton antsy, you can sell SXC to me here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=281303.0

So what I'm trying to say is, I'm probably the most impatient to see SXC on the exchanges, If it fails I'll be out of pocket bigtime, but I'm keeping the faith. I'm holding LTC and seeing what it does after the reward halving next year, and I won't be dumping SXC either..

It is hard when there's so many coins out there to mine, but Bitcoin and Litecoin were mined for a long time before they showed a big profit, and the early adopters made serious money. I can't promise you that SXC is the same, but I believe it has the most potential out of every coin out there, or I wouldn't be risking thousands of dollars in fiat on mining it...
 

According to my calculator, you get about 48.32 SXC for every 1 LKY you mine with the same hash, and 9.92 SXC for every BBQ you mine.. so..

I'll pay 25 LKY per 1000 SXC (1:40)

And 134 BBQ per 1000 SXC (1:7.5)

Which is fairer than if you mined those coins with the same hash, by about 20 and 25% respectively...

Sorry just hit the difficulty change.. withdrawing my previous offer and gonna recalcute rates..

My personal favorite is running twin gigabyte GV-R797OC-3gd's on a cheap Asus F1A55-M LX + board..
cheap APU, cheap ram, very expensive Thermaltake "toughpower" 1500w power supply.. 1.4 MH stock..

Anybody who tells you to get a cheap power supply, or one that will be barely adequate for the job, hasn't mined for long..

I do have a rig with a  MSI 890FXA-GD70 mobo, with 5 pci-e slots.. I'd prefer another 2 slot asus board any day of the week..

Hope I posted this in time for it to be of some help...

Well, I just checked using various mining calculators .. 4173 M/h gives you 1138 LKY, 5848 BBQ or 32,900 SXC at their present difficulties, and SXC is coming down off a huge surge..

so I think 400 LKY per 10,000 SXC is fair.. slightly better than an even trade based on what you'd get mining...

Just in case anybody is willing to take up an offer on BBQ, I pay a ratio of 1 BBQ : 5.5 SXC.. again based on what you get mining, it should be 1:5.62..

I'll have to contact fendle to set up escrow.

Edit: In 40 minutes roughly the SXC difficulty will change and the offer will be adjusted accordingly

and another one ...

C'mon, there must be at least one person who is willing to sell ( another bump)

A winner !

Wow, way to put the zombie bonus down... If theres a zombie bonus apocalypse, I'm standing behind you...

We are running a Slogan Contest with a 6969 SXC prize at..

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=281272.0

And there is a 100 SXC giveaway, compliments of Zack here..

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=281109.0

But there doesn't seem to be much interest.

And we have a winner !

Yeap, well aware of that, It's just suprising ... and the hashrate is still jumping around a bit.. 17 M/h, up to 32 M/h and now falling again... well, I guess I'll never know for sure, but it is curious...

I thought there'd be heaps of inspired slogans... This should pretty much write itself

Is that a sexcoin on your flashdrive, or are you happy to see me?

Well maybe not....

Just a shameless bump...

Wow, Surprised nobodies got the movie quote yet.. That's an easy one..
