1  Economy / Services / [WTB] Web Hosting on: August 10, 2013, 04:47:01 PM
I am looking to make my website and I would like to purchase a domain name and the hosting itself. I know there are places I can buy domains with BTC but I haven't done it yet because some hosting companies offer free domains with the purchase of hosting.

I am looking for shared website hosting to start my website off with and as such I have two questions:
  • What are the best hosting companies that accept bitcoin? If this question has already been asked, please point me to the thread.
  • Right now I am thinking that I would like one of the power or pro plans from inmotion hosting (https://secure1.inmotionhosting.com/new_inor/choose_package.php?indfdwm=1&sb1w=yes&package=50&remind=24). Of course, I cannot pay for that with bitcoin directly so if a viable alternative hosting service that accepts bitcoin cannot be found, I would like to pay someone with BTC and have them pay for the hosting with inmotion for me please. Of course, I will pay a tip on top of what the plan costs for your troubles.

Also, if there are any other better web hosting services out there, please let me know.

Thanks Smiley

4  Economy / Computer hardware / Selling 2.4+ Mhash Miner | Works Instantly | Free Setup if Desired on: August 06, 2013, 02:56:53 AM
Hello all Smiley.
I just built myself a miner (roughly 2 weeks ago) and since then have fine tuned it to achieve 2.4+ Mhash all time time on 4x7950s. Now I have just decided that I would like to sell it to whoever wants it. My rig has the following parts:


Because of the parts in my rig, it can mine pretty much any coin you want, including CPU coins, scrypt, SHA-256, etc. I am asking for roughly $2400+ for my rig plus $100 shipping to your location. I accept payment in BTC, LTC, and USD as well and I am willing to use escrow if desired. The rig is open-air for maximum cooling and uses windows 8 so it is easy to setup and I can provide additional support if desired. In addition, since it is running windows 8 and because the motherboard supports it, this rig can be upgraded to utilize 6 GPUs in the future for more hash power.

I would like to use an auction-style listing so please start the bidding at $2500 and please use at least 0.1BTC increments while bidding. If you feel that that is too high, please make your offer and please keep in mind that it is a brand new rig.

Thanks and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask Smiley

5  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Cgminer Solo Scrypt Miner Quick Question on: August 02, 2013, 01:38:52 AM
Up until now I used reaper for solo mining scrypt coins and cgminer for pool mining. I have recently decided that I would like to use cgminer for pool and solo mining. I recently tried to solo mine a new scrypt coin and after the client launched as server with the correct .conf file (hostname was 127.0.0.1 and the port was 9332) and the line in the .bat was: cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:9332/ -u username -p password -I 20.

When I ran the batch file, the error I got in cgminer was: No suitable long poll found for http://127.0.0.1:9332

Why did I receive that error message? What does it mean? How do I resolve it?

Thank you!
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Primecoin vs Quarkcoin Profitability on: July 29, 2013, 09:37:28 PM
I have a pretty fast CPU in one of my mining rigs so I was wondering:
Which one would be more profitable across time: using that CPU power to mine quarkcoin or to mine primecoin? I realize that primecoin has the added benefit of having a scientific benefit with regard to prime numbers (and that is why I am mining it right now), but it just occurred to me that perhaps quarkcoin would be more profitable.

Thanks for any insight Smiley
7  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Need Help With Altcoin Mining Rig Please on: July 26, 2013, 07:05:19 PM
I recently built a rig with:

To start it out, I decided to only use two of the GPUs just to make sure that it worked. After some fiddling (plugging in monitors, etc.) I got the two 7950s to hash away in cgminer at intensity 20 at roughly 630-640 khash each. Then I decided that I wanted another GPU so I shut the rig down. I then used a 16x to 16x riser cable and plugged another 7950 into a 16x PCI slot on the motherbaord. Then I plugged in the necessary 2x8 pin connectors to give the card power and the molex connector into the PCI riser cable. Then when I turned on the compter on, it did not even recognize the card. After I restarted the card, it finally did recognize it but when I activated cgminer and tried to mine on it I only got roughly 50 khash out of it or so. I have switched out riser cables and I have plenty of power so I know they are not the factors causing the error. I have also tried plugging in monitors to the cards and that did not work either.

Does anyone know what could be going wrong/have any suggestions? I have tried everything I could think of and would be extremely grateful for any assistance. Is there anything I should change in the BIOS?

Thank you

9  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Technical Support / Vanity Address Question on: July 25, 2013, 08:15:27 PM
Hello,
I am interested in generating vanity addresses for myself and have multiple GPUs on hand to do so. Here is my question: is it possible to use the gpu version of the vanity address software on multiple GPUs for a higher generation rate or is it limited to only one GPU?

Here is the line I am running now:
oclvanitygen -d 0 -k -o filename.txt 1cryptopi3

That takes quite a long time to run on only one 7950, but my rig has multiple of them so I would like to know if I can use all the 7950s in my rig to generate that address or if I am only limited to one.

Thanks! Smiley
10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Cannot Access Vircurex Account - HELP Please on: July 22, 2013, 10:57:27 PM
Okay so I just transferred 300 XPM to my Vircurex account and I enabled google authenticator. Then I saved my Google one time password. However, now when I try to log in, it says my google one time password is incorrect. I then tried to reset my password and it still asks me for my google pass which it still says is wrong. Help! I can't access my account with 300 (260 actually) XPM in it.

Please help! Who is the owner so I can PM him?

Thank you
11  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / 7950 Rig with Display Questions on: July 20, 2013, 06:18:09 AM
I thought recently I would get into mining (altcoins) via gpu. All of my parts came in a couple of days ago. I am using a gigabyte motherboard with an ivy bridge processor coupled with a few 7950 sapphire gpus. When I finally assembled the rig, I was dismayed to see that my monitor was not being fed correctly (no picture). I have a vga monitor plugged directly up to the motherboard and an hdmi monitor plugged into a 7950.

The problem I am having is as follows:
I read that I have to disable integrated graphics on the motherboard to get the gpus to work. Once I have done that, neither of the displays is fed a picture so I can't see anything. If I make integrated graphics be on auto, then it the displays still do not work. If I switch integrated graphics to enabled, then the vga display (plugged directly into the motherboard) turns on because the internal graphics are powering the display. I am using Windows 8 and when I go into devices, I can see the card in devices, but how can I test the card to see if I actually have access to it? Since the display is being fed by internal graphics and not the 7950, I do not know if I really have access to the card and would like to know how I can confirm that I have access to the card.

Thanks so much

12  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Pci-e 1x vs 16x for GPUs? Help please on: July 12, 2013, 04:53:30 AM
I've got almost all of the details for my new rig sorted out except for the motherboard because I have a question regarding it. My understanding is that 1x (pci) means it has one data lane and 16x means it has 16 data lanes. I am using 7950 cards, FYI. When purchasing a motherboard, does it matter if the 7950 cards are attached to a 1x or a 16x pci? What I really mean is: will a 7950 card hooked up to a 1x pci have a lower hash rate than one hooked up to a 16x pci? Or does it not matter which type of pci the cards are attached to?

Thanks
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Best GPU for Scrypt Mining on: July 11, 2013, 10:51:25 PM
I didn't know if this goes in mining or in alt currencies, so I guessed here. I am thinking about building a rig for mining alt coins (scrypt ones). I have some questions and I would really appreciate their answers Cheesy:

  • exactly which card is best in terms of power/hashrate for mining (I pay $.13/kwh)?
  • for the best card, how much power does it consume and what hashrate does it produce?
  • can I CPU mine and GPU mine at the same time (does it affect the GPUs)?
  • can rigs still efficiently function while GPU mining with 6 GPUs (windows 8 64 bit)?
  • what is the best PSU (or combination of two PSUs) for 6 of the best GPUs plus a maxed out i7 3770k?

Thanks Smiley
14  Other / CPU/GPU Bitcoin mining hardware / Haswell Motherboard with Support for 6 Cards? on: July 10, 2013, 04:01:38 PM

15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Altcurrency Mining Question on: July 09, 2013, 10:35:31 PM
I have never GPU mined a currency before. I recently decided that I would like to get involved in mining (via a dedicated GPU mining rig). I also decided that my rig will probably generate 3-6 Mhashes for scrypt with 4-8 7970s (is that right?).

I would like to assemble a spreadsheet in order to see if the costs are worth it. My plan is to mine LTC in spare time and then mine new/popular coins as they come out or as they gain value. My questions are twofold:
  • is it, in your opinion, worth it to build a rig right now?
  • for any given coin at any given difficulty, is there any way to calculate how much of that coin I will mine at a certain hashrate (on average) without the use of a premade online calculator (because the new coins do not have such premade calculators)?

Thanks, any insight at all would be appreciated
16  Bitcoin / Mining support / Constructing a Mining Rig Questions on: July 09, 2013, 10:00:52 PM
I would like to get into mining for the first time and since I have surplus cash on hand that I don't mind losing, the best way seemed to be by building a dedicated mining rig with GPUs (please correct me if I am mistaken in thinking that). I would really appreciate any advice anyone could give me with regard to the construction of my new rig because I am a total noob Cheesy. Even though I am new at this, I believe I have a basic idea with reagards to what I want my rig to contain:

  • between 4 and 8 7970 GPUs (would like some advice regarding this
  • either a standard i7 or the i7 hexcore special edition CPU
  • intel SSD (of any size that I choose, betwen 50 and 500 GB)
  • a PSU of some kind
  • a case of some kind
  • a motherboard of some kind (please tell me which one)
  • a network card of some kind
  • a sound card of some kind
  • 16 GB of DDR3 RAM

That is about all I know Cheesy. Can anyone please point me to a good guide/tell me any other parts I will need/advise me on the parts I have already selected in the list above (especially tell me which motherboard/sound card/network card I wil need)?

Any input at all would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
