I am using 13.1 drivers I tried 13.2 but they cards mine like 10% slower so I am not going to install anything newer than 13.1... does 12.8 even have drivers for a 7870?
I'm getting 245/440/456 Mh on a 3x 7870 rig running 12.8 (using MSI for safe temp overclocks). |

btw does anyone have an idea what effects cgminers cpu usage? On my WinXP/2003 32bit machines (catalyst 11.11) cgminer uses about 70-80% and on my 64bit Win7/2008R2 machines (catalyst 13.1) it's only about 3-4%.
i'm asking this because cpu usage does affect power consumption
Can't base comparisons of power consumption on percent of cpu usage unless you have have reference data for all the hardware parts in the different machines and know all the software that's running. For example, see http://superuser.com/questions/242562/why-does-windows-7-x64-work-faster-than-an-x86-edition-on-my-pc for some things to consider. |

I was using 128/64 for 660/3770 You think I should lower it? payout seems ok... (as it's gonna be at that kh/s lmao!) I've made a few of a few coins though.. better than nothing  Since reward scales with difficulty, no need to lower if you're happy. Fine-tuning is unique to every rig due to OS type/version, # of cards/cores, gpu/cpu manufacturers, drivers, upload/download connection speed, etc. It can take hours to find the sweet spot for an extra .001 or so per round. |

What suggested difficulty should I use for a 660? and my 3770k?
Start with 24 for the 660, mine for a few blocks to set a baseline, then try 32 and see if your earnings increase. Might go as high as 40, but think you may be pushing what the card can do. 8 is probably the highest for most cpu miners, but I've run a dual Xeon 5680 rig at 32. [Edit] Because of VARDIFF, you'll occasionally pull work at much higher difficulties than your recommended settings, but never lower than your suggested diff, so you don't waste cycles hammering the server. |

It's off for me too. I'm sure Slush is on it as usual and get it corrected.

our pool's hashrate is pretty much growing at the same rate as the rest of the world's. this is evidenced in that our share of the Pie is consistently hanging around 9.5 - 10.0%. We are pretty much getting the same number of blocks per day as usual. Things are bad for the people who are not increasing their hash rate with new equipment. For them, their share of the pool is shrinking. I feel for them. soon i will be one of them for i am rapidly running out of money to throw into this endeavor.
Know what you mean -- my budget for new equipment is just about exhausted, too. Might have to tradeoff my two daily double pump mocha extra-shot venti cappucinos for another 5GH/s Bitminer every month  |

Geez -- over 50 minutes and no new block found yet. Luck is down for the entire network!

What's up with the Russian text on the "My Account" page? Has the site been hacked or something?
Think you might have to reselect your language flag. |

Can someone recommend someone trusty who would buy BTC ?
Send it to coinbase. They will buy up to 50 btc a day. Look under account settings/integration for an address to send to. Are they better at buying your BTC than they are at selling BTC to you, and how long does it take to get USD out? |

3+ weeks ago my reward per block were 0.0014 - 0.0016 per block, 1 week ago it was ~0.0011 - 0.0012 now it gets as low as 0.0008 per block. 7day moving average has gone from 0.25 to 0.21 and 0.18 Is it difficulty or total hashrate? my work utility has gone from 7.8 to 7.2 If rewards are going down so quickly how are little miners like me supposed to go on? I knew it was expected, but i hoped for 2x slower decline than this  Or my whining is wrong? and its not getting any easier -> Estimated difficulty 15442778 in 111 blks :C Stupid asics :/ maybe its time to start learning LTC world... Well, it'll be awhile before there are ASICs with integrated memory that can run the scrypt algorithm, but I don't doubt they will come if LTC climbs in value. I think a more immediate impact on LTC mining profitability will be the larger gpu mine operators moving from BTC to LTC. |

Good luck, I've asked that of members numerous times almost a 100 pages ago. I've simply given up. Now I just try to keep up with the 4-8 new pages per day and hope that all the newbs start to figure things out sooner rather than later.
It's human nature mixed with laziness lol, on both sides -- some noobs can't wait to get a quick info fix or are too lazy to look up answers on their own, and some ex-noobs jealously guard their info or are too lazy to give the answers again. at least we're all human. |

Bitminter is also offline, by this I mean the web pages are down but miners still appear to be working. I don't know whether there's any connection - tin foil hat on standby as usual
I just tried switching back to Slush's pool just to find that you seem to be having problems too, I can't connect to Slush's pool
As others have said, keep trying. I started 3 instances of bfgminer 4 seconds apart (if bfgminer can't connect at first, it retries every 15 seconds until it does) and waited about 5 minutes for one of the instances to link up and start, then closed the other two instances. |

IS that the correct final IP for Slush's stratum server??
just did nslookup for slush and got this Non-authoritative answer Name: stratum.bitcoin Addresses: 54.225.117.7 95.211.52.40 54.215.3.101 Slush's stratum has been on AWS with IP 54.xxx.xxx.xxx which is showing for two connections. The 95.211.52.40 address doesn't belong unless slush is using it for some reason or an attack is in progress. |

stratum mining proxy for slush's pool is dead now.....
Bitminter is dead, too. |
|
|
|
|
My bfgminer went dead, but guiminer is still connected. Much strangeness.
|
|
|
|
Getting the same here. Does anybody know what's going on? Still up for me connecting out of Los Angeles. [Edit] Using Bfgminer on one machine, guiminer on another, that is. |
