sorry to ask this but what is 569?
A number. |

I'm that guy that posted at least 4 different posts complaining I could detect my graphics card. Well, it's all settled now, and I'm mining successfully. The only issue is, is the fact that on average I only mine about 130 mhash/s, and that's with a radeon HD 6700 graphics card. Are there any ways that I can speed my hash rate up?
No. https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison to show different settings to try for different hash rates. 6700 just isn't that powerful. |

For No.1 is there an easy way to keep it cool (Using a laptop)
Also what is a good pool to use?
As someone posted, limit threads (-t). Easy way: Subtract one from how many cores you have, all i3's that I know of have 2 cores, so you can do -t 1, but your hashrate will be horrible. Better to get a temperature tracker like RealTemp or SpeedFan and play around with -t. I can do -t 10 on a quad core and keep temps low with good circulation, just as long as temps are down, you're fine. |

None of the above. BTC, LTC, and possibly yacoin (or, more likely, its descendants), if only because of different mining methods/algorithms.

SHA256 (BitCoin) mining will crank up the CPU a little bit in cgminer/bfgminer on newer Catalyst drivers. You could do a couple things:
Downgrade driver version (will affect hash rate, either for the better or worse).
Change priority by adding "start /low" at the beginning of the command line, should lower CPU usage a little bit.

4 Xeon CPU's, to barely hit the hash rate, of a single 7950....That is certainly cost effective  What was the hash rate of your 7950 for scrypt+chacha/kekkac(32,1,1) again?  ~650. 2x Intel Xeon E5-2670 = ~750. I just mine an actual, profitable alt coin, LTC...And my hash rate is 550 KH/sec
Because you can only mine 1 at a time, yes? |

QUIT SELLING ALT SANDWICHES!
There is only so many paninis out there that is going to be used for speculation and every new alt sub and burger that enters the market at this point is basically just inflating the supply of trade-able sandwiches and causing inflation just like with fiat currency!
Not a good comparison  Yeah, a better comparison would be: All you countries, Quit making your own FIAT currencies! Instead you should all be hopping on one grand currency, say the Euro! Look how that went (is going). Also a bad comparison. FIAT currencies are for the most part domestic. Meaning the US uses Dollars and Cents, UK Pounds and Pence, etc. As an 'international' currency, we have........ BitCoin, LiteCoin, NovaCoin, PPCoin, MinCoin, TerraCoin, BBQCoin, CHNCoin, BitBar, FeatherCoin, FreiCoin, NameCoin, YaCoin, JunkCoin, IXCoin, DevCoin, ByteCoin, so on and so-forth, most of which are clones with a slight number change, essentially making half of them cents of a different color. It would be nice to stick with something that fills some gap in functionality, targeted uses per say. NameCoin was a good example, regardless of success or not. |

Racism aside, the lack of creativity and abundance of ethnic pandering for supposed international crypto currencies is obnoxious.

It probably won't be worth as much again, but it might be mined, even if just because it can be mined along with GPU coins, which would keep it active at least and not abandoned completely.

Excellent i5-3570k @ 4.2 GHz, -t 3 Doesn't go above 80 degrees, 207 khash/s, doesn't throttle my cgminer, any higher -t does both. |

Which is "You can't copy your wallet address" nor you can send your wallet address to your mail or anything else. If you want to give it to someone you need to manually check and write wallet address.
Erm, why can't you? Just tap your address... press copy.... |

Multiple computers, one mining account. Simple.

On the topic of other currencies.
What clients and pools are you guys using to mine Litecoin, Feathercoin and whatever coin.
I wouldn't mind dabbling a bit, for curiosities sake.
Thanks!
Clients are usually CGMiner or occasionally Reaper. Pools are too numerous to count. For Litecoin, I usually do WeMineLTC.com for Pooled mining or P2PoolMining.com for P2P mining. |

So what other alt coins would you suggest for someone that wants to do a long term investment in them?
BitCoin and LiteCoin are the only ones not going anywhere for sure. Probably staying: DevCoin, NameCoin (partly/mostly because of merged mining with BitCoin and alternate uses) Anything else is a gamble. |

Ok, cool. thanks for your help Kruncha!
Lastly... if you know... can litecoins be cashed in like BitCoins? Litecoins seem far more stable.
Stack... Thanks for your opinion. You don't think Litecoin would be wise? My other thoughts were selling my GPU's as i got them for cheap and could make a ok profit with their current selling prices...and completely walk away from mining.
Most new coins can easily be cashed in, or even easier, converted to BitCoins. http://www.coinchoose.com/ will show which coin will [currently] earn more BitCoin compared to others. Example: Litecoin is currently at ~150% profitability, meaning you'll earn earn more BitCoin by mining LiteCoin then selling for BitCoin, than you would mining straight BitCoin..... If that makes any sense. They all have exchanges where you can cash out in the "Exchange" column. TL;DR: You can cash most coins out. BTC-e.com, bter.com, and vircurex.com will convert your alt coins back to BitCoin. GPU isn't dead for Scrypt Mining. |
