only tacotime and he is probably just trolling you. its usually a good sign of lying when people use interjection words like personally, honestly, seriously etc Its using language to "prove" a lie to yourself so you will have an easier time making other people believe it. Anybody with a 7970 getting 650-700 kh/s out of their cards? Could you post your exact litecoin.conf file (minus your miner info, of course)? Also, what is recommended for core/mem clock to hit those numbers? Thanks.
Tacotime is responsible for me being able to get 550-590 out of my 7950 using this: PLEASE note that running this setup on a card connected to your monitor WILL make the computer nearly unusable. The screen will literally refresh only once every 2-3 seconds. If it is on a computer you are "remoting" into, it'll be fine. Also, running the monitor on another card or IGP you'll be fine to. Also, reaper will consume 1.5gb of system ram and gpu ram PER card. worksize 256 vectors 1 aggression 20 threads_per_gpu 1 sharethreads 32 lookup_gap 2 gpu_thread_concurrency 24576 |

Im on the 50btc pps now and it seems a share is always worth the same amount, been that way for days it appears,. I would think that the value would change slightly as the overall time changes to find them.
Aaron
that is the ENTIRE point of a pps pool.. equal payment for a share, no matter when why or how. |

I'm running 2x 7950s
BFGminer... the only parameter I feed it other than pool info is -i 9,9
with core of 1075, voltage of 1135 and memory at 625 I'm getting 560 mhash each.
This is on a 2700k on a Z77x-ud5h motherboard while mining litecoin on the cpu.

Using getblocktemplate, you could just update the template occasionally, and generate as much work as you need on the offline system. Obviously you'll still need to update it timely for each longpoll. Then you need a return path for shares; you might be able to find a pool that lets you set your share difficulty high enough that you only need to do this about once a minute on average (though your variance will increase too) - unfortunately, my own pool can't provide that ... yet. something like this would have been incredibly helpful for me a week ago when timewarner decided to be a tool and stop working 4-7 hours a day a few minutes at a time.... but ah well. |

Hello everyone,
I recently downloaded and setup Reaper to mine litecoins at Burnside's pool and I seem to be having a VERY unusual problem.
Everything SEEMS to be working, I can connect to the pool, the program says I'm hashing at 53 GH/s but both the program and the pool are showing that I am not finding ANY shares.
Any ideas...?
first thing you'd need to do is to post up your reaper.conf and litecoin.conf text. After we know what your settings are then it'd be possible to see what is going on. oh.. what hardware are you using? thats also important. |

Luke-Jr: I'm seeing high CPU usage with BFGMiner. I use it on my system with my 6870 and 7770. I thought it was high before when I was using the IGP, but since I've turned that off, the CPU usage is still at 50%. I use Win7 64bit. Any ideas?
don't put intensity any higher than 9. on cgminer it had the same issue, using cpu at intensities above 9, but it would drop mhash about 10-15% when dropping intensity down to 9 on bfgminer I noticed I still get full mhash but 0-1% cpu usage when using intensity 9. give that a try, it should work. This was an issue for me and the above trick worked. |

Interesting. I'm getting the same error in Reaper as well when I go above 8192.
Your thread concurrency needs to be a multiple of 64, but otherwise any thread_concurrency within the memory size should work. Thanks... but anything I try that yields a buffer size over 512MB doesn't work. My card is supposed to have 3GB too :-/ What is an example of something that didnt work for you? The setup I run on my 7950 uses 1.5gb on each of my cards and 3gb of system ram. Make sure you have lots of system ram ready available. |

The biggest unknown here is how quickly the ASICs ship. If the majority of preorders (up until the end of October) can be filled within a few weeks then you have a fighting chance of recouping your investment. Otherwise it's anyone's guess (and the odds aren't great).
Butterfly Labs says in its FAQ they're in the hardware business therefore don't keep the ASICs and mine for themselves. Complete nonsense. They're just following the age old example of gold rushes where the only people guaranteed to make a lot of money were the ones selling shovels, and other mining related hardware. Most prospectors went away empty handed.
We're the miners and BFL is selling the shovels.
and the best part is.. in modern day the "shovels" were bought and paid for months ago |

My Dwolla funds have been sent to Bjork. Fast smooth clean transaction. A+

Anyone have Dwolla available? Need up to $5K USD.
-EP
I got about $80 in dwolla and am looking for Gox funds. |

There will always be a "free market" equilibrium with mining profitability and hashrate.
If mining is very popular than more people will get in on the action. If mining becomes less popular than the GPU guys will be first to bail, than FPGAs, and the asic folk will be unlikely to drop out.. due to it being nearly free once you have the hardware.
Now if the price was to crash to say $5 again and stay there.. difficulty would probably drop a decent bit as the high electricity cost folk couldn't afford to mine anymore.

So, I've come to find that mining at the best rate and using a desktop as a "daily" dont go along well together.
So i went ahead and started using the good ol integrated graphics chip on my core i7 and low and behold CCC throws a fit and none of the sensors work anymore (afterburner/gpu-z are useless for checking out the card temps/clocks etc). This is for a pair of 7950's not in crossfire mode.
Does anybody know if there is a workaround to get the sensor readings back and control of the card?
Hashrate is just fine though, so it doesnt affect actual mining.
Thanks.

bout $80 in actual BTC (well once dwolla finishes up the bank transfer...)
$1000 in gpu's.

Also, regulated securities suck too.
AKA "There are lots of great securities out there, but lots of bad ones as well. Don't invest in what you don't understand. " |

Long story short, Im inheriting $5000, with this I am looking to turn a profit, should I invest it in bitcoin miners, or should I invest it in GICs and government bonds, or perhaps play with it in the stock market? Note: I am getting a bit ballsier with money, knowing how worthless it actually is.
Also, Im 24 years old, and I have to start thinking about my financial security for my future.
Investing in some safer mutual funds is a good way to go. Do yourself a life favor and spend a bit of time reading and researching about mutual funds and the stock market in general to get an idea of what is up. Typically.. if you do it right (as in excluding the 2008 crash and other recessions) 6-10% annually can be earned on the investment. Bitcoin would be considered an incredibly high risk investment. Something that would be invested in by people who are absolutely willing to potentially lose all/a large % of the investment for the potential of great returns. If you buy at $12 now, you are betting against it crashing and going down to 3 cents in the future as well as hoping htat it'll take off and go to $20, $30, $40+ etc in the future. |

Since LTC uses CPU and BTC uses the gpu, would there be any performance loss on either side? I would think mining BTC would use a bit of cpu too?
for the most part no. cgminer on my 7870 cards will use like 10-25% cpu.. so that slows down the ltc side a little bit. honestly, at this point both are equally profitable on a gpu, but that depends on if you can keep the khash/sec about the same or higher than mhash/sec woudl be for btc. |

Use cgminer peeps?
set --shader and go after that instead, that was what i started with on DiCE1904 7970, and he is now getting +700 kh/s on his
Any other suggestions on settings other then that? CG miner always tends to perform (for me) about 10-15% lower then reaper can get. I have tried both the --shader and --thread-concurrency routes. |

you do shares at half the rate but each one is worth double
Sorry, I'm not understanding. The pool is limiting my hash rate? instead of a share requiring say 75k hashes, it would require 150k hashes.. hence "half the rate" the share would then pay say .004 ltc each instead of .002 ltc each. exact same income, just different way of getting there. now the network difficulty (8.8 currently on LTC and 2.86 million on BTC) is something different....... |

OP.. you need to buy more of these bars and then sell themto us at like a 10-20% markup.. People get their pretty silver and you get a few dollars on the side for your trouble!
