Hey guys,
Looking to buy 20BTC but I don't have access to any service except PayPal due to being in South Africa.
Would anyone be willing to sell to me?
Thanks,

2nd deal done and dusted.
Quick and hassle free.
Thanks again mate

I'm getting slow speeds on the getwork servers but the few I've got hitting the stratum servers are 100%

Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy a large FPGA setup or Avalon ASICs that can be shipped to South Africa.
I don't want preorders so don't bother.
If you or someone you know is looking to sell please pm me.
And I'm happy to pay in BTC, dollars or pounds.
Regards,
Lawrence

Hey guys,
Does anyone know of a pool that has stratum implemented and also has a redirect like btcguild?
I'm behind a http proxy and can't connect straight to any stratum servers
Thanks,
Lawrence

Did a swap today and went 100% smoothly.
Thanks Moose!

Awesome thanks so much 2GOOD.
Please pm me a LTC address if you have one so that I can send you some coins.

I've tried cgminer with the same parameters as what I use in reaper and got a lot of hardware errors.
After doing some reading I believe this is because I'm using the latest ATI SDK but I didn't want to roll back just for the fans. I thought that setting the fans to max some other way would be the easiest.

Hi guys,

I've got a couple GPUs up and running with Reaper on Ubuntu mining LTCs but they're running at about 80c and I'm not 100% happy with that.
Is there a way that I can set the fan speed manually within Reaper or the OS?

Thanks,

Good morning everyone,

Has anyone experienced a difference in what cgminer reports as your kh/s VS your pool stats?
I've got a 5970 running at intensity 13 and cgminer (2.8.2) shows that it's doing 500kh/s but my worker on litecoinpool.org reports on 125kh/s at best.
Anyone seen this before or have some possible solutions?

Thanks,

LawrenceZA

Hi guys,

Thanks for the responses. Taking that all into consideration I thought I'd try my hand litecoin mining since from what I've read it's where the bitcoin gpu miners will head anyway.

My setup went pretty smoothly and I've now got my first dedicated mining rig up and running with cgminer 
So far I've only got one question to add to my list and that is if anyone would know why cgminer would report a different Kh/s rate to a pools website?

Currently my 5850 is reporting about 300Kh/s by cgminer. However on pool-x.eu it only shows a rate of 100kh/s.

What gives?

Thanks again everybody that responded.

Hi guys,

My name is Lawrence and I'm a noob with questions. Any answers, advice and help will all be very much appreciated as I'd really like to get into mining.
The main reason for me getting into mining is to try and make a small profit from my unused hardware now that I'm not paying for electricity in my new duplex. Other than that I thought it couldn't hurt to keep myself busy with a little project and my girlfriend will certainly prefer that all my bits and bobs get cleaned up and installed into a rig or thrown away

Ok so,
Question 1:
Can I use different ATI cards on the same desktop machine? I have a 4890 and 3x 5850s but my spare mobos only have at max 2 pci-e x16 slots. So can I mix up one mobo and have a 4890 run along side a 5850?

Question 2
If I run these cards at stock speeds in chassis with reasonable air flow in a cool room am I at risk of them overheating and dying if they're left on 24/7?

and finally

Question 3
I've seen posts about issues with the latest version of CGminer giving poor performance, should I use an older version?

Thanks,

LawrenceZA
