Bought some VOLT (about 72M). Gonna hold this puppy, I see huge potential.

VOLT Address: QjBMPn7E6wBWmgUZQyVrHSoBNk1R5yQy3i

what was your buy-in price?

Bought some at 7, 10, 15, 18 and got some more again at 13. So all over the joint.

Looks good man. How many PTS would just one droplet generate in around a day ?

Back in 2012, traded 70 Bitcoins for around $15 (they were $10 at the time) thinking it was a smart move. Mining rig fucks up (couldn't be bother diagnosing it) and I can't generate anymore, leaving me stranded with 40 Bitcoins till this day. I wish I never traded those 70 coins and that my rig paying me 1.5 BTC a day didn't stop.

I don't know if it's me or not.
Unzipped latest version of cgminer, and tried running cgminer.exe with --scrypt and it comes up with unrecognized parameter ?

Went back to 3.7.2 and all is fine. Can't seem to mine LTC with 3.8 c:
9  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / CGMiner Scrypt get a better hash rate on: July 19, 2013, 07:38:04 AM
Hey guys I currently have 2 5970 Cards, both Watercooled.

My 1st 5970  (GPU 0 & GPU 1) is clocked at 775 MHz Core, 1100M MHz Memory, and 1074 VDDC
My 2nd 5970 (GPU 2 & 3) is clocked at 900 MHz Core, 1250 MHz Memory, and 1190 VDDC

Also my parameters for cgminer are as follows:
Code:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3333 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --shaders 1600 --thread-concurrency 8000 -g 1 -w 256

Are the following hashrates I am getting alright? (Don't worry about the average hash rate on the side, that's because I've been fiddling around with the cards but I've found them to be stable now)



Also all my temps are low, and my VRMs are all below 80 degrees C.

Anyway I could improve these hash rates? Cheers

Hello,

i have a question. I apologize as a precaution for my not so good english.

I was in the process monitor by accident. there I saw the cgminer is permanently connected to 3dns.adobe.com.

what does that mean?





CGMiner is connecting to 127.0.0.1 (localhost)
In your HOSTS file in Windows you have specified 127.0.0.1 to be 3dns.adobe.com

You must of installed some pirated patch or crack for some Adobe product which needed to do so.

Hey guys, I can't seem to get CGMiner to work under scrypt no matter what I try. My cards (2 5970s WC'd) work perfectly fine with Bitcoin, but I try out scrypt mining for Litecoin nothing seems to be working Sad

Also I have 4GB of RAM and am running a AMD Sempron 145 if that helps.

This is what I am faced with:



These are the parameters I am using:
Code:
cgminer.exe --scrypt  -o stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3333 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -I 9

Also I am using SDK 2.1 and Drivers 11.12
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: CGMiner Scrypt not working at all on: July 18, 2013, 09:18:48 AM
How much RAM is on the PC?

Maybe
--scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.give-me-ltc.com:3333 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --thread-concurrency 5632 -g 1 -w 256 -I 9

Beats me, though. LTC mining creates too much heat for Summer. Smiley

Though crazy-long, may want to try posting @ https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.11540 instead.

4GB of Ram mate.
And nah it's Winter here in Australia, so the temperatures here are getting colder (:

EDIT: Tried that mate nothing  good happening now Sad



All my cards are working fine for BTC mining.

14  Bitcoin / Mining / Re: Need help deciding - 5870 or NOT ? on: March 01, 2013, 02:27:43 PM
Here is the best answer anyone can give you, IMO.

step 1 - If you have to ask the question, the answer is automatically a resounding no.  Just go buy some litecoins or bitcoins and trade with them - sell some things, etc.   There are other was to make money in bitcoin then just mining.

Your probably going to be stubborn and want more then that.  So - come back to the forums and read, read, and read some more.   Find out everything you know about the various coins and start figuring out which direction YOU woud like to go.  Sure you can consider others opinions but a lot of times you'll find out that they are just that - opinions.  Everyone has one - most of them stink.

Once you have an idea of where you'd like to head with the mining, you need to start crunching numbers.  I'm not going to hand it all to you, but I will say that if all you are doing is calculating max hashrates vs power consumption - save yourself the time and go back to step 1.  There is a lot more to it then that, and anyone who tells you otherwise is either lying or a fool! Smiley

This probably isn't what you want to hear - but I think it sums it up quite while.  I think making the blanket statement that getting into mining is just "to little to late" at this point is again either lying or full of poop.

Good luck to you!

I understand what you mean.

Power is not an issue for me. I pay a flat out fee and basically get unlimited electricity.

So I see that Litecoin pays less than Bitcoin, but the reason I post here is to hear people's personal opinions. A lot can change during a space for a few months. And with this release of ASIC there has been mixed opinions. I know there are a lot of threads there etc, but most of them are old and do not relate to the current situation. Like I said before, I've done some research on Bitcoin, but I like hearing other people's opinion's / perspective, because if I go search something up I may be inclined to doing something wrong.

I know that we all make mistakes, but I'd rather have someone tell me what they have done which hasn't done them any good, and instead of going through the same process one person, take it lightly.

Basically what I'm saying to say is, I like to hear people's personal opinions of relating to NOW.

Hmm. But would it be worth it if I were to go and mine Litecoin ?
16  Bitcoin / Mining / Need help deciding - 5870 or NOT ? on: February 22, 2013, 11:05:05 PM
Hey guys,

I haven't been in the bitcoin community for a while due to studies etc.
Last time I was generating Bitcoin was in December where there was all this hype about ASIC.

Reading around, it looks like companies like bASIC pulled out with people's money or something.

Anyways, my rig currently has 3 Watercooled 5970s, all hashing away nicely. (Going to take 1 5970 out as I need to do some work on it)
A great opportunity has appeared for me to buy 2 watercooled 5870s for a great price.
I was wondering if I should invest in these 2 cards, or is there any legit ASIC company out there.

I do know that IF, and yes IF, ASIC does occur, I can always switch to Litecoin.

So what would you people recommend?

At the current rate, it will take me 3/4 of a month to fully pay off these watercooled 5870s (a rig with 2x 5970s, and 2x5870s).
So that will be roughly 2.7 ghash. (Can go higher, not sure how hard to I can push the 5870s yet)

17  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 5970 4 gig Whats the k has for LTC on: February 22, 2013, 02:02:05 PM
If I remember, it doesn't really matter on the memory size, but rather the SPEED your memory is running at.

Go for it if it's a deal, but don't pay a great amount more because it is 4GB.

I personally only have 3 5970s with 2GB so I can't quote anything.

If you are generating for pure profit, right now at the time of this post  BTC still generates more $$

Hey guys,

I can't seem to run CGMiner with the --scrypt option.
I always run into the following error, followed by CGMiner disabling all GPUs and the crashing (dialog of the program is not responding comes up).

Anyone know why?
I have 3 5970s.
