A few things. 1) You're telling CGMiner to use the first gpu (device 0) twice, but you're never telling it to use the second device (usually device 1). 2) CGMiner can't natively clock 6xxx or 7xxx cards down to 300MHz. I would use "--gpu-memdiff -125" 3) Bitminter is good, but why are you using Deepbit? It used to be "THE" pool, but now there are WAY better pools out there. I would choose a different one, esp one that supports stratum. 4) I see you're not specifying an intensity. I would add an intensity of 7 for normal GPU BTC mining. 5) 85C is a little hot to be running a GPU, as I would recommend 70-75C. If you really want to run it at 85C, that's up to you, tho. New code: start /D "C:\cgmine" cgminer.exe -d 0,1 -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u username -p password --temp-target 85 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 500-870,500-870 --gpu-memdiff -125,-150 --gpu-fan 25-80 -I 7
I have two towers. One houses a 7950 and the other a 6950. So You're suggesting I get rid of the -d command? I'll set bitminter as the primary. Thanks for the heads up. I added --gpu-memdiff -125 to my command list. I hate to correct you but from what I understand cgminer by default has a intensity of 7 set by default. I just basically want to watch youtube and not loose hundreds of megahashes while doing so. I use educational videos on youtube to help me understand subjects in college. I watch them all the time but I want my gpu to have priority while doing so. Ah ok, I didn't realize the two towers were in two separate computes. In that case, you can get rid of the -d command altogether. Also, on my 7970, it defaults to -I 6, which works, but i think -I 7 works better. I've also had issues where not specifying an intensity sometimes acts wonky, so I always add it in. Also, the 6950 can only go 125MHz below the core clock, but the 7950 can go 150MHz below the core clock. And a 6950 might be good at 870, but I'm assuming a 7950 could go a little higher than that. 6950: start /D "C:\cgmine" cgminer.exe -o mint.bitminter.com:3333 -u username -p password --temp-target 85 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 500-870 --gpu-memdiff -125 --gpu-fan 25-80 -I 7

You have been very helpful. Now that you know my cards what pools do you suggest I use? Not that my cards matter. I'm lookin to get the best bang for my buck here. |

I'm using my machine to still mine bitcoins but I see it drop a few hundred megahashes. Is there a way to set priority for the video card being used? Here's my bat script. I put this bat script together after watching a youtube video. So I'm not very good. I'm a big n00b when it comes to cgminer.
start /D "C:\cgmine" cgminer.exe -o deepbit.net:8332 -u username -p password -d 0 -o mint.bitminter.com:8332 -u username -p password -d 0 --temp-target 85 --auto-fan --temp-overheat 90 --gpu-engine 870 --gpu-memclock 300
I'm using a 6950 and a 7950. Thanks in advance!!

I'd like to know how much I got bumped up due to their estimations. I heard that there was a bump in gigahashes due to their original "math" being wrong.

Price increase sounds like a good thing  |

Your source is malformed and points to bucky balls........try again??
Source was a joke about governments banning everything fun. There is no outlined threat (that I am aware of, who knows though) for banning Bitcoin ASICs. Anything is possible though, and there are some scenarios I'm sure many can think of that would bring it about. edit: Bitcoin = ASICs That threat makes sense though. I remember there being a recall with a magnet based products because baby's eat everything. When they eat sh1t like this the magnets still work inside their bodies and ruin their intestines. I think that's why they are thinking about banning them. A big warning on the box though should be sufficient IMO. |

Hi Guys, Currently i am being charged 19.75 cents per Kw/h, and a daily 79 cents service charge. What mining rig setup would i need for it to be profitable? i have a budget of $3000. thanks  I forgot my crystal ball at home and nobody knows for sure. Maybe ASIC vendors are a scam, so buying a PC with some graphical cards is a good idea. Maybe not. Maybe ASICs will be delivered to you but difficulty will increase dramatically. The government may prohibit all cryptographic devices including ASICs. Source about government blocking asic based machines? I'm not doubting you. I just need a source. I'm new. I just bought an asic. This scared the sh1t outa me!! source: the government that bans everything funYour source is malformed and points to bucky balls........try again?? |

I pre-ordered only a couple months ago. I'm praying that I'm the 33% that gets the random shipment. I tried to bribe the office lady 50 bucks but she had ethics. Bleh!! :-P

still, that's pretty good considering that my gpu rig was making decent bitcoins and that was only 2.7 gh/s Still not scared. Please! Somebody scare me! |
|

I hear all this about a gold rush until they half in the estimated time of december. Now listen. I got an asic on pre-order that's going to do 40 gh/s. Even after the halfing I still see me going from 38 dollars a day to 19.5 dollars a day profitable. I mean wtf. So what. Profits are cut in half. It's still profit. What am I missing?!

plaintext? REally?! Not even hashed? Let alone salted hashes!
FAIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How do I sign up and pay for shares?

Wait, how are asics not going to work again? I work off of facts. Sorry. I ordered a single from butterfly labs and I expect to make a lot!! 40 GH/S baby!

seems like a lot of info. Tell me, why do people buy bitcoins? Do they buy low sell high sort of thing? I've always wondered why I can trade my coins for amazon with a 2% fee. Seems rediculous the amount of money they are willing to pay me for these things.

I bought from butterfly labs on the hope that they'll have all pre-orders out by Christmas.

On a side question. I'm thinking about dropping down a few hundred to buy four more jalapenos. If I have the money. Wise investment?
