64.97% for latest luck...   Wow - That was a punch in the face.....  Ouch.
3  Economy / Computer hardware / Re: [WTS] 2 7950 Gigabyte Windforce 3GB - 1.5 Months Old Only - Shipping Worldwide on: June 12, 2013, 09:14:46 PM
I didn't change my mind. I paid via paypal as requested, but they didn't like that paypal wasn't releasing funds due to their nonverified paypal account. Seller refunded instead of going through with the transaction when I refused to repay via personal 'send money' instead of invoice.

Also, odd that it is shipping from USA, because I was invoiced in CAD, and I live in the US.

Exact same thing happened to me.  This whole situation spooked me due to:

(1) The above situation - wanting a personal payment, instead of a safer invoice payment. Refunded payment to me after he was not able to get the funds immediately due to unverified PayPal account.
(2) Then he asked me to send to his 'wife's' PayPal account - but he sent me a disposable e-mail address.
(3) He and I were discussing payment details when he posted the ArcologyPrime sales messages above - he was not negotiating in good faith.  When I asked about the posts about the items being sold already - he told me "first person who pays me get them".  Not the type of person I want to do business with.
(4) His account is only a few days old.

This will really help with the difficulty spike eating away profits.  Thank you for doing this.

28% increase in a few minutes...  4 blocks to go.  Ugghhh.   Cry

Cool
Since only a few people have ASICs at the moment..
How soon days..weeks..months?

Looks like just we're just a few minutes away from a 28% increase... 4 blocks to go....

It's a DNS issue.  It happens.  No big deal.  You will get a certificate error when using the IP address because thats how SSL works.  Stop the FUD.

Both fans on all three GPUs are broken?  Can I ask how that happened and how you keep them cool? Are they under warranty?

Tried this?
Q: The CPU usage is high.
A: The ATI drivers after 11.6 have a bug that makes them consume 100% of one
CPU core unnecessarily so downgrade to 11.6. Binding cgminer to one CPU core on
windows can minimise it to 100% (instead of more than one core). Driver version
11.11 on linux and 11.12 on windows appear to have fixed this issue. Note that
later drivers may have an apparent return of high CPU usage. Try
'export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1' on Linux before starting cgminer. You can also
set this variable in windows via a batch file or on the command line before
starting cgminer with 'setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1'

I forgot to mention - yes I did try that before I made the post.  It had no effect.  The rig was running on Catalyst 12.8 before I reformatted it, although I don't remember the SDK version I was using.  I'll start playing with the SDK version and see if that fixes it.

I did a complete reformat and reinstall of my rig with Win XP.  I installed AMD 12.8 (with the bundled OpenCL SDK), but now I have the 100% CPU usage issue.  I understand this is a driver issue, but my question is which driver should I mess with, the AMD video driver or the OpenCL SDK driver?

Thanks in advance.

I'm sure you don't get this nearly often enough.

Thank you for being open with whats going on, your status updates are always welcome and helpful. Thank you for running a very stable pool. Thank you for being an honest operator.

In short, thank you for everything that you do. I know you make good money at it but you deserve it.

With the utmost respect for your expertise and knowledge, I have to ask..  Are you positive this is not a glitch in the system somewhere? The mathematical improbabilities of this happening are getting very large.
13  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Re: help: 5970 - Verification failed, check hardware! on: May 22, 2013, 06:21:45 PM
Most of the 12.x drivers will with with a 7xxx and a 5xxx card.  I had 12.4 humming along, but it gave me problems overclocking...  I'm now on 12.8 (and the associated SDK) and it seems to work fine.  If you down-grade the drivers, make darn sure you kill all the orphaned ati* files in the System32 and 64WOW directories or it will be a waste of time. Make sure when you install the drivers it shows that the video driver needs to be updated (do a custom install where you can see the individual components being installed). If it says it is already up to date (or newer) then you have left the old ATI files behind and they won't be down-graded.

You can use GPU-Z to get current driver versions on your rig if you are not sure what is currently installed\used.

^C

it seems it cannot send anything.
and it repeats that error ad libitum.

what can I do?

my cmd lines are:

mining_proxy.exe -o coinotron.com -p 3334 (port for LTC)
minerd -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u XXX -p XXX


I use a stratum proxy to mine LTC, too. I think at your hash rate you can expect to find about  2 shares an hour per thread. You perhaps just have to wait longer to see any results.

I also get this
Code:
 JSON-RPC call failed: {
   "message": "Unexpected error during authorization",
   "code": -1
}

and assume it is disconnection for some reason. I get this every 5 min and my miner will wait for 15 sec to connect. This results  a loss of total effective hash rate.

I am seeing the exact same issue.  I switched to coinotron today because my previous pool has a string of really bad luck.  I pointed my proxy to coinotron and it works for a few minutes and then the proxy looses its connection and all my miners as a result stop mining for about 15 seconds, then the proxy reconnects and the miners start working again....   I have used this proxy for three other LTC pools and one BTC pool, and all worked perfectly.  Coinotron is the only that it disconnects from intermittently.

Crazy!

I think that cable just switches on/off your secondary PSU, so you don't have to use the paperclip trick. You can power your vgas, extenders, other hardwares with your secondary psu.

I would assume (hope) this is how it works.  Otherwise, if you are putting twice as much amperage through the 24-pin ATX connector, it will melt for sure...
