I keep reading "Bitcoin Scamming Site". Sorry about that Tongue

Is bitcoinscamming.com still available? I see a lot of activity and interest in that area Wink

Dude, don't squat on my domain ! Cheesy

I'd like to thank you, because I see a great increase in my BTC production since I switched to Ozcoin.
Here is the graph :

DGM or PPS ?

I am very jealous indeed. I do plan on getting a 7970 soon. I just decided. So if 71% asic quality is good... what is bad? How well would a 100% clock?

100% is very very very rare.  Those cards are worth top dollar.  I'd say average is low 70's.  Theres the 7970 owners thread which lists all of the ASIC qualities people have gotten to give you an idea.

I was scowering ebay for an 80% by messaging the owners, but a majority were average.  But this was a deal I couldn't turn down.  (I would've if it was < 70% though.  Close!)

A 100% card would have a crazy high clock with stock volts.  But under water it doesn't matter much.  Most chips behave the same, because the core stays <40C compared to 80C.  I think asic quality makes the most difference at higher temps. (granted if you have 70C water passing over your card from a CRAZY clock, lol..)
Thanks for the response. I ended up just googling it. Since gpuz is techpowerup software I just went there. Found some threads about people posting their scores. Several had 7970's in the 90% area. When I do get a 7970, I might check this and return it if I don't like it.

How can you do that ? More specifically, how can you do that in the UK ...  Grin

Sorry, to clarify I meant that we have a policy to not discuss specific TOS disputes in public, for the cases that have already been aired in public I'm not making any further comment.

You also do not discuss in private. You just ignore.

This guy clearly deserves a scammer tag.

So many people complaining ...
606  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Holy balls, I just won this on: June 06, 2012, 02:51:57 PM
Is there a software to determine ASIC quality?

More specifically, a LINUX software.

Why so much Windblows specific software ? MSI AB, GPU-Z, RBE ... makes me sad Cry

Why not buy the Powercolor if you want these monsters ?

The HIS one looks downright stupid :

-no 1100 MHz red nuclear button
-2 fans instead of 3
-2 fans that have to be RMAd when they die instead of user removable like on the Powercolor 

Waiting for reference 7990s because these are for gamers by the looks of things. Too expensive ...

Quite frankly, antivirus blacklists/scanners seem to be turning into more of a problem than the virii/trojans themselves. But maybe I'm biased because I've never been infected (even when I ran Windows; and no, I've never used antivirus)

Same here. Ran Windows 2000 SP4 with updates turned off and if you have a brain you never have any problems. If you don't and have the best antivirus you still can get raped.

The question is : how do you pick out the better chips before buying them ?

You can't Undecided

Unless its advertised by an end user.. Though if hes smart, he wont advertise it unless its high.

Yeah that is without warranty and used ( I call it abUSED ) so no deal there.

Yeah, probably more false statements of how you are punching his brain cells in ... could be sued for harassment for that in REAL life.

Looks really nice but too expensive and not enough quantities and also much more expensive than just two 7970s and cheap mobo I think especially using SB-E CPU ? No way it's gonna be cheap !
613  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: best mining settings for 7970 on: June 05, 2012, 05:42:13 PM

Not to mention the heat factor, and card/fan life..  i want these cards running for years

Noise too ! Electromigration too.

Anyone that is NOT undervolting their GPUs with the incoming army of FPGA/ASIC and 25 BTC reward is only kidding themselves or being lazy and losing out $$$.

Maybe free power people ... but somebody is paying for it !

Thanks for posting related things from Computex that can be of interest to miners, Mousepotato !

Some of us don't have time to check all the good stuff ourselves Undecided
615  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Powercolor 7990 on: June 05, 2012, 05:35:38 PM
The reason I am thinking is because I would say the regular 7990 cherry picked low leakage chips would be easier to get maximum MH/W compared to the above GAMER chips which need like 500 W alone to function properly.

Good point! I'll take cherry-picked chips (higher ASIC quality?) over whatever hodge podge of 7970 GPUs that PowerColor decides to slap onto the same board.

Yes but I think AMD has given up with 7990 as it cannot compete with GTX 690 at any rate ( gaming / perf ) and mining is small marketshare and they also had thermal issues trying to cool so much heat with only one fan.

Hope I am wrong !
616  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Re: Powercolor 7990 on: June 05, 2012, 05:28:23 PM
Agreed.  I'm keeping my eye on Computex for the (alleged) 7990 announcement.

The reason I am thinking is because I would say the regular 7990 cherry picked low leakage chips would be easier to get maximum MH/W compared to the above GAMER chips which need like 500 W alone to function properly.

It looks like it was made to OC not be efficient for mining at all  Cry

Forget about this monster.

Where is my tame 7990 Huh

With FPGAs and ASICs anyone buying this overpriced crap is a mugu / fool !

As each pool has a different idea about when the block changes, if I choose the first pool's block change to discard all work from all pools then there can be quite a long period across block changes where cgminer throws out lots of work because it will continue to consider it from the old block. I had to relax the stale testing for load balance to prevent this work from being thrown out. On the other hand it's almost certainly what's leading to higher stales at every longpoll/block change. People generally get scared when they see a huge dip in hashrate across longpoll and start blaming cgminer for not keeping the devices busy. It probably makes more sense to throw out the work and accept the dip in hashrate so I can do that next version, but no matter what I choose, someone will complain  Roll Eyes

I was wondering if something like this was the case. Looking at the log that seemed to me what was happening, but I was having difficulty translating what was going on... (for one, the specific pool/device the message is about is rarely referenced in the logs!).

If there's not much you can do, there's not much you can do! I'll just stick to fail-over then Smiley

I'd say taking the dip in hashrate would be better option though. I prefer not to start work than throw away work done...
1. You won't waste power calculated hashes you know will be stale.
2. You don't get stales appearing in the stats.

Absolute genius !

And now each 10 minutes / new block found my GPUs will go to no load / very low temps and then to high load / very high temps in a timeframe of 1 minute.

This hot -> cold -> hot cycle is not good for the fans or for the GPU itself. Same with FPGAs if you have that junk.

Brilliant, I tell you !

You introducing a system that imposes a form of taint does nothing to prevent theft but does make using Bitcoin a hassle for those who are innocent.

Therefore I do not support this and will vigorously reject any movement towards this initiative and any like it.

+1

tainted coins are bull. if this happens i will only use USD instead - at least those are hard to counterfeit Tongue
