statistics - 13 hours 1,600.83 KH/s Approx. BTC Value - 0.00234529 what is this? )) on LTC it would turn out more  Have you been mining awhile? You definitely cannot quantify volume from 13hrs. Operationally, if you want to make an accurate judgement you need to analyse your data over several days. I would advise personally a week to be most accurate. I have mined a long time and up until the last few months have moved to pools and very recently to scryptGuild. I solo mined LTC for agez and I know definitely that so far the payouts from scryptGuild are far better ...but also btc isn't doing very well at the moment so I tend to normalise my calculation to get a better idea of performance. Anyway, just my opinion. Leave your rig go longer and see what the average is. |

Yes this is not a generated transaction.
Yes, remember btc-e, like any web wallet, could 'go down', 'get hacked' etc at any moment.
Use multibit or better for your wallet
I've been thinking about securing my volume a little better since the recent hack issues. So multibit is something you rate highly? Do you encrypt and then backup offline to multiple locations on USB or the like? Cheers |

Bitcoin (BTC) 0.08024939 That's at the top under Account Balances. The automatic payout threshold is 0.01 and I am well above that. Yep I have added and confirmed my wallet ...but it is my www.BTC-e.com BTC wallet. Is that a problem? On BTC-e it says... - Minimal amount for deposit is - 0.0001 BTC. - We do not support generated transactions from pools like Eligius, P2Pool etc. I know im new to all this but scryptGuild isn't like the pools they mention above is it? It doesn't generate transactions ...you mine, it stores, it transfers right? Cheers Sure you have BITCOIN set to 0.01? Sure it's 0.01 and not 0.10? Positive it says 'Confirmed' next to your BITCOIN wallet? The pool triggers payouts *every hour* for automatic payouts, and BTC has been triggering exactly as expected every hour without delay. Slaps self in face! ...I thought if Auto Payment was 0.0 then it defaults to 0.01 daily payments. My bad sorry mate  |

I have Auto convert enabled so it should be converting to BTC on the hour ...but i've accumulated almost 0.1BTC over the last couple days so this should be sitting in my wallet right now but it has remained in the Estimated field on the Dashboard? This is why I was asking if there needs to be something enabled. From what I can tell, as long as the auto convert is on then I should be seeing BTC available to transfer? I have zero values in the retain coin section. And if the coin values are really low then it should trade on the day instead of every hr. In your Dashboard screen, what is the value against BTC at the top of the list in Account Balances? (Ignore the Approx. BTC value at the bottom). If this is not zero, then your other coins are being converted as expected. Have you added a BTC wallet address to the Wallets section, and confirmed it? If so, the accumulated BTC will be transferred to that when the amount reaches the Automatic Payout Threshold to the right - as long as that isn't zero. If you haven't set this up, then the BTC you earned will just sit in your ScryptGuild account until you do. Bitcoin (BTC) 0.08024939 That's at the top under Account Balances.

Two perhaps stoopid questions so I apologise in advance - How do I transfer my estimated mined coins to my BTC wallet at my exchange? By "Estimated mined coins" do you mean the approximate BTC value? If so, you don't: this is the total value of all your non-BTC coins if they were to be sold at the moment the value was calculated hourly. They will be sold if their individual value exceeds the trigger threshold at about 11 minutes past each hour, or once per day regardless of value in a sweep-up operation. This is why you see them disappear from the list from time to time, before re-appearing an hour later. When they have been sold, they will appear in (be added to) your ScryptGuild BTC account balance. Once the balance has exceeded BTC.001 they may be transferred to your bitcoin wallet. This can only happen if (i) you have added your BTC address to this site, and (ii) set the minimum transfer threshold. Once they have been transferred to your BTC address you can do what you like with them. - Whats the time zone that the Worker Charts are on? I need to figure out my GMT position. +1 to time zone settings as well Read through the last couple of pages and you will find the answer. I'm not doing it all for you! Hi Alan...

I have zero values in the retain coin section. And if the coin values are really low then it should trade on the day instead of every hr. If scryptGuild is trading on the hr ...is it converting into a temp wallet on the site and I can collect coins there and then send to my exchange. I know BTC-e don't allow lots of small transfers from p2p style pools. Thanks for the info |

I would think that solo mining or being on a pool that doesn't coin switch would fare better with high intensities. Depends how often the block changes.
Reject % = rejects / (accepted + rejects) * 100.
aaaah ok thought there might have been more too it. 1.069% I suppose is good? Way better than what I was getting... Sooo another noob question ...how would you work out how much the rejects cost you to know if you should push the intensity higher or lower? 0% rejects might not necessarily be as profitable as having a higher reject rate but get more accepted shares through. Is that what eleuthria was saying? Thanks for the infos 1% is good. If you use whatever hashrate you get with minimal rejects as your baseline, you can determine where your "sweet" spot is. So let's say you gain 5% hash rate by increasing your intensity, but you also get 5% more rejects, you aren't getting anywhere. But if you get 5% more hash rate with 2% more rejects, then you're better. Personally I don't have the time to play with it. I go for minimal rejects and hardware errors. I believe op said it's impossible to have less than 2% rejects here. When I told him I was get 0.7% (0.007), he thought I had room to get more hashrate. That may be true, but I think it would be minimal. Because the hashrates I get match what I see on the litecoin hardware comparison page, I tend to think all is well. ymmv. M Ok cool thats good to know thanks my hash rate across all my gpus is just 340kh compared to 650 before ...but yep really low reject rate so will let it go for a day and see how it compares. Should have bought slower cards ...didn't realise this when I was researching. Good to know ...and cheaper on the elec usage and ware on the hardware so hopefully this works out well. Again, thanks for all the info mate! Cheers |

Ok brilliant i'll sift back down the pages and have a read ...but yep makes sense! Thanks for sharing Presumably on these types of pools then, a less powerful rig will actually outperform one that has a far higher hash rate in terms of BTC payouts. Conversely if you were solo mining or on a pool like middlecoin/wafflePool that switches less often, a higher hash rig will be better. Is that a fair assumption? Out of interest ...how do you calculate the reject %? Are there a bunch of things you need to factor?

You're getting higher rejects at 256 because of your intensity. Lower it to 13 and you should be fine.
erm so setting my gpu's to 13 means I hash really low so what is the point of having semi powerful cards like the 7950s? Maybe im missing something blindingly obvious? As a medium test I dropped them all down to 16 just to see and my rejects were really high which based on what your saying is expected! After 15.5hrs mining... 3,136.41 KH/s A: 2,278,976 R: 22,720 / 0 / 0 / 0 I: 16On other pools I hash at 19 and I'm pretty sure my rejects are super low so I guess this leads to my follow up question of ...is the "intensity" value also reflective of what pool or coin your a mining compared to just the cards themselves? Wondering why the LTC comparison chart has i=20 for the 7950s ...I assumed it was specifically to do only with the hardware. So guessing their is a pool setup factor also involved? There are good number of posts earlier here explaining this. I'll try to summarize: the pool is designed for rapid coin switching based on profitability the higher the intensity, the more your GPU will be unavailable to process coin switching "block has changed" messages therefore your hashrate may appear higher with higher intensities, but you'll get more rejects You're job is the find the sweet spot. I had mine at I=13 and had 0.7% rejects. Op has some good posts in here explaining it. M Ok brilliant i'll sift back down the pages and have a read ...but yep makes sense!

It's the intensity that's causing the rejects. Try lowering it.
M
Yep that did it ...I forgot I copied from the LTC wiki i=20 ...my old settings i=17 gives me 0% rejects (so far) ...Thanks! Any chance you know what the Difficulty should be set to on the Dashboard interface for the miners? Cheers Depends on your hash rate. My suggestion is to leave it alone and check your miners to see what the vardiff switched it to. Then set your miners to that value. M In regards to your point above, My Rig is 2.5 Mh/s and i selected starting difficulty to 128. Vardiff has not changed it what so ever. Generally on other pools, Vardiff sets it to around 256 or 512 Maybe im missing something ...if the difficulty is variable and the pool monitors the worker and sets accordingly, why do you set something? I have a 3.5MH rig (if i=17 is correct - seems stable on this) ...if I set to 256 it generates a tonne of rejects! 128 seems ok so far. So just to clarify... the difficulty in this sense is really just a guage on how often the pool needs to send work. Too low a kh then more works arrives than can be processed resulting in rejects, too high a kh and not enough work arrives so a lower than normal Accepted shares? ...and all this is governed by the WorkUnit value which is the "actual" hash rate? Am I in the ball park for how this works? Cheers |

Hi all, I've just moved one of my miners over to scryptGuild as a test ...a friend mentioned it and so far it seems a really nice frontend setup. However I have a couple questions, I am fairly new to crypto mining world in the grand scheme of things. I've mostly mined on pools where you don't setup workers or done some solo ltc stuff. I am wondering... - What difficulty should I be setting on my worker on the web page (I have it on default - 16)? My rig is running 6x MSI7950s - I seem to get allot of rejects/stales ...is this linked to my incorrect difficulty setting? For example: Accepted 66,288 Rejected 6,160 / 0 / 0 / 0 ...or my conf settings? "scrypt" : true, "intensity" : "20,20,20,20,20,20", "worksize" : "256,256,256,256,256,256", "thread-concurrency" : "24000,24000,24000,24000,24000,24000", "gpu-powertune" : "20,20,20,20,20,20,", "gpu-engine" : "1000,1140,1140,1140,1140,1140", "gpu-fan" : "40-85,40-85,40-85,40-85,40-85,40-85", "gpu-memclock" : "1250,1250,1250,1250,1250,1250", "gpu-vddc" : "0.962,0.962,0.962,0.962,0.962,0.962", "shaders" : "1792,1792,1792,1792,1792,1792", "temp-cutoff" : "88,88,88,88,88,88", "temp-overheat" : "86,86,86,86,86,86", "temp-target" : "78,78,78,78,78,78" I don't normally run my gpu's this hard but I found the settings on https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison so thought I would just try them out. Maybe something in here is wonky causing the high reject rate? Thanks for any advice. Seems like a great pool. I hope it does well and I move my other rig over ...I have been considering shutting things down recently so hoping returns on here are better. Cheers Nick. |

Hi all... just come across this and having a read up. All sounds very interesting.
I've been mining awhile but only now playing around with day trades so technically im pretty noob with it all. Got some questions if that's ok...
- Is C.A.T for intermediate/advanced users
- It appears this is something you need to interact with through the day... is there a web/mobile version for people who aren't at a local pc throughout the day
- Do you need to have a minimum volume of coins to really make it worthwhile for the cost of the software
Thanks guys.
Nick.

How much reward you are giving  Just what i've mined so far... few LTC. Can probably offer a couple more if it helps. There is so much division in opinion on how to do it and ive reinstalled windows7 too many times to count so rather just get some direct help from someone that has actually done it and is stable. Are you that person? |

you need to short the a1 and b17 pins of the last 16x slot. i have an msi z87 g65 mobo. go to BIOS > Advanced > PCIE config > Set all PCIE to Gen2.0 (default is auto)
Edit. I'm using windows 8, and the display driver that i am using is the one from the windows update. that's all that you need from the windows update.
I have the msi z77 g65 and that option doesn't exist in the bios. You can either set to Auto or disable. Do I need to short the 7th pci slot to get both 6 and 7 slots working? I'm confused why you need to short because i've read allot of people saying this isn't necessary. Cheers |

I know Linux but not much to be tinkering with hardware problems as well so have been looking more for a tried and tested how to.
I'll look at a usb BAMT boot and see if I can get it working.
I'll be happy if I can get just 6 working!
Cheers

Hey dude, Really appreciate you having a look ...but unfortunately, all those I have read as well  ...I also had that sticker on my board which is why I bought a slightly more expensive cpu (ivy bridge) than what is needed for mining (Intel i3 3240 Dual Core CPU). I was hoping to find someone who has actually done it because the posts seem very divided in if it works or not. re your presence pin snippet ...I read this as well and also read posts from people who said it isn't necessary ....aaarg why is there a difference of opinion! Again, thanks for the reply. Cheers |

Hi all,
I am having problems trying to get 6 (or ideally 7) MSI 7950s running on my rig. At the moment I have 5 running stable on a MSI Z77A-GD65 and from looking around the boards, many people have had success getting 7 cards running on this motherboard. I have plenty of power and mem I think (tethered dual PSUs + 8gb mem). I've tried 13.1 and 12.2 drivers from TechPowerUp ...people seem to have divided opinions on the driver making a difference. I'm running Windows7 at the moment and was hoping to stay on this OS but can move if required.
I've read conflicting posts from people saying you don't need to presence short this particular board to get all 7 on there but have also read that you have to. So a little confused at why the separation in opinion.
Any advice would be much appreciated! I can swing a few LTC to anyone that can assist and help me get up and running.
Thanks,
Nick.
