Am I allowed to ask about unlocking this to a 290x bios? Has anyone tried it?
What else do i need to do with this card ( overclocking,undervolting etc) to maximise its performance?

With 6 7950 cards, you should go with 2 rigs, both wit 3x7950.
For each rig you should get decent PSU, somewhere in 800W range (not less than 750W) with single 12V rail design.
Price difference between 2x 750W PSU and 1x1500W PSU (for 6x7950) is more than enough to buy 1 motherboard, CPU, HDD and 4GB of RAM.
You will avoid any potential windows problems when running 6 GPUs on one system (I didn't see a singe system with more than 5 GPUs), and you will have couple of inches between cards, unlike with 6 cards where you can't get more than 1". Like that you will have better cooling, and quieter system.
Not entirely correct. you could just use 2x 750s for the single six unit. I run six gpus with win7 and no issues. However the spacing is a valid point. to use 6 gpus you have to have a custom case. thats interesting.. i just got 15 x sapphire r9 290 tri x and was going to do 5 rigs with win 7..now i think ill try 3 rigs with 5 cards.. i already have 3x Gigabyte 990XA-UD3 AMD 990X (Socket AM3+) DDR3 Motherboard and 3x Silverstone SST-ST1200-G Strider Evolution Gold Series - 1200 Watt could i run 5 cards on this mobo in win 7? how much extra power would i need for each rig? would i run 3 or 4 cards off the 1200w? could you tell me exactly what else i need to make it work..ie specific power risers, things to connect psu's etc.. (Its my first build- so will need it spelled out) thanks |

Would like some recommendations on mining hardware:
thinking of building a rig with 4-6 R9 280x cards.
Whats a recommended MB for a hassle free setup using 4-6 of these cards using windows? can I get windows to run 6 cards?
Can I run the cards directly on the board?- Ive seen talk of risers/powered risers- can someone explain their function?
Whats a recommended PSU for up to 6 of these R9's? or would it be better to use multiple ones? Do the cards power off the psu directly?
What kind of electricity costs am I looking at with this kind of setup?
How many khash/s should i expect without overclocking per card/in total?
Is there any ROI in scrypt mining?
If I was to throw that rig at Litecoin for example what would I be mining per day at current difficulty/price?
Im building it more for new coins and not expecting any overnight returns
Any advice appreciated. Would love to hear about individual setups that work- and the kind of returns and power consumption etc...

if mining with wallet then type getmininginfo in the debug window. thanks! does this look ok?  { "blocks" : 3156, "currentblocksize" : 1000, "currentblocktx" : 0, "difficulty" : 1.00000000, "errors" : "", "generate" : true, "genproclimit" : -1, "hashespersec" : 3750, "networkhashps" : 173417252, "pooledtx" : 0, "testnet" : false } |

what version of ubuntu did you create the droplet with?
|

|

I've registered and created my droplet. I downloaded putty and logged in using the credentials provided to me in the email. I enter these commands like stated here: http://protoshares.com/mining.htmlapt-get update && apt-get install yasm -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev apt-get install -y libboost-all-dev libdb++-dev libgmp-dev libssl-dev dos2unix It then gives me: root@Protoshares:~# apt-get update && apt-get install yasm -y git make g++ build-essential libminiupnpc-dev Hit http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security Release.gpg Hit http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security Release Hit http://security.ubuntu.com lucid-security/main Packages Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release.gpg Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates Release.gpg Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid Release Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates Release Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/main Packages Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid/universe Packages Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates/main Packages Hit http://archive.ubuntu.com lucid-updates/universe Packages Reading package lists...

Any help from the experts? Much appreciated Once I can successfully set up the mining you can pm me your DOGE address and I will send the bounty your way. It will probably not be today as I have work soon and then Christmas Eve with the family. Probably tonight though. So don't think I'm scamming you if I don't answer. |

I quite like the last update email that pacifies us with news our hosted miners are happily hashing away. But no subsequent emails telling us how we actually get our mined BTC. It's like "yeah guys I have all your ASIC's hashing away.... crickets....oh you were actually expecting the money from them??"
I received an email from steamboat on the 14th dec listing the payment details for my 5 hosted miners. I have received payments for 5th nov to 13th dec so far to the original address that I paid from. I was in batch 6 and would have preferred a refund but the payout so far was 0.65 btc. a bit to go yet to make back the original investment. The group buy was a gamble from the outset and I would have been prepared to lose the lot but I do believe SB has tried to make the best of the situation for everyone. |

just spotted an alt coin trading on cryptsy against litecoin as MasterCoin (MST). Im presuming its completely unrelated? seems confusing or is that the intent?
That's another Mastercoin (MST) that was launched over the summer https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=242406.0It's not MSC, which is the Mastercoin Protocol How many more thousands of times are we going to have to give people this explanation? Shouldn't we just change the name? I hate alt cryptos that end in 'coin' anyway. What a dumb name. Although I hate 'Ripple' at least they weren't so foolish to adopt another 'coin' name. I have quite a large investment here from the early exodus address. I was merely pointing out the use of the same name out of concern that it would affect MSC development. |
