Anyone tried bamt 1.3 for the r9 290s yet? Apparently they implemented a load of fixes to get shit up and running with the r9s. Check it out.
Not yet, but I will give it a try tomorrow when a lot more of my 290's show up  I've tried 2 different USB sticks and can't get them to boot BAMT. Tried 2 different machines too. Went through bios boot order as well. |

Hi, Did you get to the bottom of this? I am having exact same problem, need Windows 8 maybe? Does it work? I have no experience at all with Linux and there are no easy step by step guides to follow  If you are using 6 of any 200 series cards you have to use linux. The beta drivers you have to use for R9 cards don't support more than 4, even in windows 8. It is a driver limitation, not hardware, as 6 work perfectly fine in linux. R9 cards won't mine on anything but the 13.11 beta drivers, it's not possible to use modified 79xx series drivers to get 6 working in windows (yet, give it time...) Five card r9 290x rig running in windows 8.1 is good just had to switch pci latency over That was posted a long time ago, and you still won't get 6 in wondows. I can run 3x Sapphire R9 290 Tri-x , 1x Sapphire 280x Toxic, and 1x 7950 in Windows 8.1 just fine, but in Windows 7 I get Code 43 on the 7950 (if I put another 280x in there I still get the Code 43) no matter what I do. 13.11 beta, 13.12 both work in Windows 8.1, but in Windows 7 I can only get 4 cards going. Fucking sucks. AMD needs to work this shit out. And of course, in Win 8.1 my GPU mapping is so screwed up I don't even want to waste my time trying to fix it. Hey I noticed that there is an issue running 7950/290 with 280X card in the same rig. The issue lies with the gpu threads setting. Basically both the 7950 and the 290 prefers 1 thread but the 280x prefers 2. Running 290 with 7950 works great, with just different settings on the intensity, shaders and everything else but running with a 280X in the same rig is not something that I would recommend. You can run multiple instances of cgminer on the same rig, but I dont really recommend that either... I would put the 290 and the 7950 in one rig, and sell the 280X or swap it with another 7950 or a 290 to get a more stable rig. Also, if you are not using riser cables that are shielded, that could also be an issue with EMI between the cards. You can buy aluminium tape to shield the cables and make sure the cables don't physically touch each other. Also, remember that the 290 is a quite new card so it requires later versions of drivers, that can also be an issue if you run on older set of drivers, as some other guide sometimes suggest. I.e you have to run this version, with this version of sdk etc. I think that is just bullshit. AMD releases new drivers for a reason, not to make the cards perform worse. I prefer using the newest drivers, since I have seen they provide the most stable configuration. I run both on Ubuntu and Windows 7 without any issues, but I have heard people having issues with more cards due to EMI or bad riser cables. I had a really strange issue with one rig, where two of the 290 cards worked fine but the third didnt, and it stopped after a while. I then switched to 1X->16X powered risers, and connected two of the cards to the 1X and one to the 16X and the problem dissappeared. Check my guide out in the previous post, if you fancy trying Ubuntu and want to run it on a USB stick instead of on a HDD and Windows. Thanks for your reply. I can run 3 290's and one 280x on the same machine by using the "--device=" command, so that isn't an issue for me. The issue lies with windows itself. CGminer won't even recognize the 5th card because windows won't assign it resources. Windows would only show 4 until I did the trick where you short the pci slot. I have tried different types of 16x-16x risers and 1x-16x powered risers in different slots and different cards. I always seem to get the Code 43 in device manager. Currently, the 7950 has the Code 43. When I swapped the 7950 out for another 280x from my other system, the 280x picked Code 43, while the original 280x still worked fine. It has to be a driver issue because I see people running 6 and 7 cards, and I'm through trying to figure it out. Everything works fine in windows 8.1 except for my gpu mapping, it's all fucked up so I don't use Win 8. Not dealing with that. Hopefully a driver update from AMD will fix the Code 43 in win 7. I want to call and see if I can speak to someone at AMD who know what's going on, but I don't know if that would get me anywhere. Over to Linux for now. |

Get some more services and all you guys who have been mining for the past 6 months will be nice and wealthy.

+1 Quarkcoin. The security features alone should be worth adding it.
Lol. I'll come back to this after the inevitable 51% attack happens. It won't be long now. Indeed. Locking a coin to CPU is not a good idea.. *thinking of serverhalls* *lots of CPU, less GPU* CPU is not a good idea ? Five years ago a coin was created which was mined only on CPU based systems, this coin is Bitcoin. Nothing is locked into CPU only as we have seen with Bitcoin, that's just where it is right now. It has nothing to do with CPU mining. It has everything to do with it's Block payout system. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=401509.msg4347887#msg4347887 |

stop pools on launch, will you guys never learn? . No pools = solo miners = interest = win please explain. |
|
|
|
What happened to dedicatedpools.com?
Nothing... It's up and running. try going to the site, i get a redirect to ww41..... |

If you guys defile Tesla's legacy with a fuckin trashcoin......

lmfao, and then what...sue them for 1/100000th of his net worth....fuckin retarded fish |
|

This pool is fast, reliable and stable, and only 41Mh/s. Please switch from dedicatedpool. http://coye.pool.pmWish they would finally turn on additional features. |

I've been paid from coye.pool.pm and coye.dedicatedwhatever through manual payouts. They both seem to be on the same chain, and pool.pm has around 20-30MH

I would like to help crunching last blocks. COYE is not dead!
Which pool would you suggest?
coye.pool.pm |
|
|
|
[/quote] Miners run on 8*PC (now 1 more is added at the top, so overall speed near the 27Mh):  Wallet installed on desktop PC with Unbuntu & WinXP @ VBox Do I need install one more wallet espessially for solo? [/quote] Tell me more about your rig, I want it. Did you custom build the frame, or did you buy it online? |
|

How are folks selling COYE. Seems like the wallets are not updating and coins are taking a LONG time to confirm.
Thanks,
YC
That's because there aren't enough people mining in relation to the current difficulty since so many people jumped ship. Once it re-targets, everything will be back to normal. |

Has there been an update from the devs?
We're working on it. New website is ready ( Shouldn't tell this! ) It will be online within 24 hours. Thanks for the update! |

Would anyone like to recommend a pool that is still going strong? My pool is shutting down.
