Hello everyone!
Good news today. After nearly 48 hours of hard work, the maintenance is over and now we've new servers in HA with more stability and more power.
The pool now can accept (and leave the bonus unchanged) until 15 Ghs effectives.
To ensure that everyone can participate, all Workers inactive for more than 48 hours will be removed.
Happy mining and thanks again!
Happy new year!
Good news. Other news that isn't so good. as stated on the pool. BIG NEWS: To reward your patience, from now on every 100 eth mined we give you 10 eth free! So in other words. Those with a lot of hash power(farmers) will get rewarded even more  It's great that there are bonuses, definitely! But would be even better if it was fair for every miner.  |

is it so difficult for you people to have several versions on your computers ? (while Christian Büchner was still working on cudaminer and ccminer I was having something like 4 to 5 concurrent version of it...)  And I was about to donate. I lol'ed.. Christmas Spirit yet again :p |

@Eliovp
I'm not meaning to come off as a troll but you admitted you're an AMD fan boy so it's fair game to challenge you.
"best card ever"?
The numbers you posted put it on par with the GTX980 but at a much higher price. Considering the 980 is 1 1/2 years old,
and second in line, that isn't much to brag about. Will you be testing with the new miner? That might look more impressive.
What is already impressive with the nano is the size reduction, packing 980 performance in a half length card is
an achievement. But that raises the issue of heat dissipation, always a concern with AMD. The improved power
efficiency is nice to see but AMD is still playing catch up.
With the expectations of pascal in the next few months nvidia will probably jump ahead again.
If AMD wants to really compete with Nvidia they either have to put out a better product, or a cheaper product.
An equal product at a higher price won't do it.
Okay, lets say it like this: True i'm in a way an AMD fanboy. I always support the smaller players. I still support Nokia :p (nah i'm joking..) Yes, for me, best card i ever had. Not only because it's so energy efficient, but also because it's so small, it stays cool, it wouldn't go higher than 65 degrees with fan speed at 25% or so when i was testing (must admit, it wasn't inside a case, still isn't and in an open warehouse), so the heat issue isn't even there. Plus it isn't "that" expensive. How much did the 980 cost when it came out? And how much does it still cost? I totally agree with you regarding the price, although that i made a few deals and it's a lot cheaper on my part. But in general, true, it isn't.. The "an equal product at a higher price" statement, that's something i surely don't agree on. It's in my eyes in no way equal to anything Nvidia offers. The size alone... Temperature you spoke about. I'm now running it at core clock 1100 and it's at 70 degrees (fan @ 40%). Performance wise, there isn't an asic resistant algo out there where it wouldn't end up in the top 3, speed wise.. So i stand by my words. It is the best card AMD has to offer at this moment. And again, those are my words and is my own opinion. |

If only the AMD community was as nice as the Nvidia community here... Same with the developers. Not saying that the amd developers are bad. But it's just not like Nvidia.. But times can change, i can only hope so |

Last red card I had was 6990 so I dont know what is going on there. Is it possible to run fury x limiting power usage to nano levels? Ethereum, nano vs fury x, same watts at the wall? What is the hashrate then? Haven't done an exact power measurement for a Fury X on Ethereum but i know it hits 27Mhz stock clocks and i believe plus minus 200 watt, i would need to test that to be sure. |

Evening. I have done some testing the past few days with a Nano and i want to share my findings. First picture is a picture of the power usage of the system without a gpu installed.  So 43watt when running idle (i7 processor with 32GB Ram, Win10Pro 64bit) Next picture is a screenshot of the Nano running Ethereum. http://s11.postimg.org/4208ayv1f/Ethereum.pngStock clocks (1000/500) @ 26Mhz average. Power draw  102 watt give or take for the Nano running Ethereum @ 26Mhz Than we have a screenshot of the Nano running X11 (not the newest Nicehash optimized miner) http://s4.postimg.org/9ayxqaotp/x11.pngAgain Stock clocks @ 12Mhz average + not even playing with intensity, XI 1024 would have given me probably more. Power draw  105 watt for the Nano @ X11 Next one is Quark, again, not the newest Nicehash optimized miner. http://s10.postimg.org/68j3y2ufd/Quark.pngStock clocks @ 16Mhz, a little disappointed here.. Power draw is almost identical to Ethereum power draw. So my conclusion. Best card i have ever had, Period! There's no Nvidia card that can beat these numbers (yet). Although, as mentioned before. It's an expensive card. But worth every penny and it looks better too!  Yeah, i'm an AMD Fanboy, i know :p If there are questions or if someone wants to see another test, just ask. |

The nano has just a differently tuned Fiji chip, the same that's on the fury series. And, apart from the ram interface, it's very very similar to hawaii (290 and 390).
Well, they seem to have tuned it very well. over 100 watt less on a nano vs a fury x while almost doing the exact same hash rate... And i have both of them, so i'm 200% sure of that Stop dreaming.
Dreams are today's answers to tomorrow's questions  |

Good cards. But they draw 200-250w. The x11 kernal is not optimal. You should mine something else.
4 750ti's draw 260 watts. 4 R9 Nano's draw 400 watt while doing 11Mhz per card!.. Is that at the wall? My fury draws more than 300 watt, the single card! And it's the same chipset. yup ... apparently the nano has mixed specs of the fury x and fury - but with a much lower power draw - and a much smaller size mate ... very impressive cards ... but very expensive cards ... #crysx 980 performance in a half length card with only one 8 pin power connector, it's only a matter of time for someone to build a 2x-nano. True, and push the price down :p Or someone who builds a farm with 100 of those  Or maybe there is one in the making... |

I also have Fury's, they don't draw 300 watt, i've got 4 on 1 mobo drawing 1000 watt in total. So 250 per card and slightly oc'ed, + that's at the wall.. so it's even less. And no Pallas, i first ran a pc without GPU, inserted the nano and than i checked what the wattage was. 100 watt extra. |

4 750ti's draw 260 watts. 4 R9 Nano's draw 400 watt while doing 11Mhz.. And 4 750ti do 12.8 mh/s at about 260 watts. And a 980ti does 13.5 mh/s at 310 watts at the wall..so about 240 watts. I edited my post.. it's 11mhz per card. Some extra info. 23,5Mhz @ 60Watt (core down to 850) per card on Ethereum, 25Mhz @ 100watt (stock clock) and 30Mhz @ 200watt (core @ 1100) Don't think Nvidia can beat that ;-) But pricy card none the less.. |

Just sot of a question while we're on this topic, I would also like to try GPU mining but would just be using one GPU on my computer, if lets say Ive set it and install cgminer script, can i still use my computer browsing the forum? Too newbie really.
Well, first of all, don't mine script.. mine something asic proof.. Second, lots of mobo's have onboard vga. Just use that when mining. If it's disabled, just enable it, it's perfectly possible. Greetings |

Don't know if Stefan still reads this thread, i sent you a pm a while ago regarding the purchase of a few sticks. I never got a reply.
Could you please check your messages and reply if possible.
thank you

I have around 800gh of eth mining hash pm me
That's not bad, you own more than the entire network at this moment :p I assume you mean Mhz... |

Has anyone made this work with SGMiner?
Yes, it works just fine. I have been unsuccessful with Quark, NeoScrypt, and Lyre2REv2. They run when I remove the AMD Open CL DLL files but I get HW errors. I assume these DLLs need to be replaced with something else. Any advise? Did a test run today on a windows machine. Was doing 17Mhz on Quark with Catalyst 15.2(ish) drivers (290x OCed). Installed the Crimson drivers. Hashrate dropped to 13-14Mhz. However when running Ethereum, i was running at 28-29Mhz and with the Crimson drivers i hit 30Mhz. no clue why though.. But no issues with hw errors or some sort. Have you tried with 280X? Did you install the whole catalyst package or just the opcl files? Fresh windows install. (windows 10), freshly installed drivers. And yes i first installed the complete catalyst package. After that i removed that hard drive, took a new one, reinstalled windows and installed crimson drivers. Again the complete package. No i haven't tried with a 280X, i do however have 1 left, i had more, but not anymore. I'll do a test tomorrow. |

Hey, Just an idea. Imagine if a dev creates a mod for lets say (ethereum), + 20%.. or whatever. Wouldn't it be a good idea to implement a specific pool (donation pool) and that mod inside the software. So that the dev(s) benefit from this for a specific amount of time? Miners themselves wouldn't lose anything as they are still mining at the same rate that they did before and thus are donating at the same time. I know this is difficult for especially unix systems, because it's easier to extract the mod from the software. But at least for those windows users out there (and that's a lot) it would work out. Maybe depending on much that specific user has donated, the software/mod would be released to that person sooner, or to the public. The idea needs some fine-tuning, and i'm not sure if it's doable, or even if the devs would agree with something like this. But i for sure would jump in immediately. It's maybe worth thinking about |

I sold a couple of r9 280x and I picked up a cheap r9 nano. I wonder if the 4096 shaders@175w can be used for mining. cheers I did some tests and found it behaves pretty much like Hawaii, maybe a bit less power usage. But a new driver just came out so the tests need to be done again, as the new driver may include an updated compiler (which is not uncommon when a new chip is out). Maybe someone tested the new driver already? Tried it now. Fiji is indeed slightly faster, but the new driver doesn't let me change clocks on the 290x any longer! :-( Interesting. Going to try that out later today. What OS is that Pallas? Ubuntu 15.04 64bit. I'll add slightly faster and slightly smaller fiji binary, not sure if it changes anything without recompiling the kernel. It looks like it doesn't detect the 290x properly, as it's the only card which "hasn't got a name": Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon (TM) R9 Fury Series Adapter 1 - Supported device 67B0 <============= Adapter 2 - AMD Radeon R9 200 Series That's probably the reason why you're not able to change clocks on that 290x. I'm going to do a test run on windows to see what it does over there. Will update as soon as possible , i'll throw in some power usage as well. |
