Uh.. Ron Paul Coin launched a few hours ago... Ya know, that old geezer is going to save the USA from the evil Jews. 

I'll be there for the insta-mine. Blocks 2-2000. Turn my 101Mh/s on it, orphan all the blocks and fork the damn thing 6 times before anyone figures it out. Muwahahah!

True that one PSU is cheaper and will produce less heat than two. The heat that the 6 cards produce will be astronomically more than the PSU so heat from them is really a non issue imo. My recommendation is don't go cheap. If you do you'll be sorry in the future. True, that 1600w power supply will likely be high quality, more than enough and the two I recommended combine total of 1900w overkill. But that 300Watt is a nice buffer. Two power supplies also make it easier to put a 6 card rig together. One on each side and the PCI-e cables reach no problem.


The price difference between the two cards is insane. If you can really get 450Kh/s with that R9 270 (Gigabyte) GV-R927OC-2GD. Thats the one in the litecoin hardware comparison. I would be curious to see if you can get that kind of performance from the cards. If you can then forget the 280x all together and build a bunch of 6 card rigs using these with 850w primary PSU and a 750w secondary PSU. That may be cheaper than a single 1600w.


So when do your cards arrive?

Why do you guys suddenly launch coins out of nowhere with huge block rewards during the first few blocks and a low starting difficulty?   

I had these questions a few months ago and could not find any answers online, or it was difficult. Its like everyone is keeping rig building a secret. I just hope for your sake that you have technical knowledge. Otherwise expect much stress.

So for risers you can order them with paypal from these places. Get extras if your are thinking of building more rigs.

For when you are scratching your head trying to figure out why the fuck my motherboard doesn't see all 6 of my cards?

As for your question about power supplies. There is really only one answer. Get TWO. The main can be as low as a 1050watt corsair or seasonic. The secondary an 850watt. One of those stores I mentioned above sells cables that allow you to link two power supplies together and turn both on with the motherboard power switch. Alternatively a mod can be done to the power connector.

There is a sports model as well.

The last thing is getting windows to see all 6 cards. This I have not had much success. I have read quite a bit about it and believe its a simple thing that most people don't get because they are not technical enough. I read a lot of posts about Windows 8 and downgrading to 12.6 drivers. blah blah.. There is one post that I found that I think may solve the problem. I just haven't had a chance to test this yet. Here is what the guy said..
"To fix this problem I manually go into the registry (regedit), and change all "EnableULPS" entries to 0 instead of 1... Fixes the issue for me Cheesy"

Oh, when you get sick of looking at the makeshift frame you constructed for your rig you may want to check out these guys.

Oh.. just re-read your post and noticed that you got R9 270 cards. I suggest you send them back and get R9 280x. They hash at 740Kh/s. Get Sapphire dual fan cards if possible.

The difficulty just shot up, no wonder with 1.2GH/s!

When you are soloing the only share that matters is one higher than the current difficulty. Once you get it you'll see a BLOCK message. If the block is valid and confirmed by other miners you get the full reward.

I'm not too sure about long poll. The only time I see it is when I first start my miner up and it connects to the wallet.

Roll one up and blaze up brothers and sisters 

The conspiracy theorist in my says that all these alts are distractions from the real coins! They are being put out by a handful of people who's motive is to get you off the good pre-mined coins that actually have value, like Worldcoin.

I don't understand the reason for DDOS attacks in the crypto community. We all want the same thing, we should all be working together. Why can't we all just get along? 

Hey Block Erupter, its nice to see your coin doing so well. I'm mining it again for a while. Thought I would get some more before it hits $1.00 each. Once people see its worth something difficulty will be 8x.

Love Subzero with the FZ coin. So cool.

If I had 96Mhash I certainly would not waste that much on a new coin. Maybe 1 rig and the rest at LTC or NVC or something that I can sell.

Come to think of it that is probably why everyone was getting rejects. These big guys jump on. I think new coin releases may have to start with an aggressive difficulty level from the get go.

I mined 3 blocks so far and all have been okay.  So whats with these rejects at the beginning? It only happens to some coins not all coins. Poor coding? Not anticipating the rush early miners?

Many blocks already. How long ago did this launch?

Every block I find soloing is rejected..

I really loled when I seen all those coin names. I was getting my mining rigs ready. Then I read this.

Haters gonna hate...

Who cares what you think. What is happening here is something that has never happened before. No one is qualified to predict what will happen in the future with alts or btc for that matter. Its all just speculation.

So I was sleeping when all this happend?! CRAP!!

The links for the wallet and source do not work. I can't mine this unless I join the pool. I want to mine solo.

Hey mange, we still need a pool for the Pingas.

I tried the GPU miner you included with the release. It works fine solo but did not work with that pool. Maybe I tried connecting just after he brought it down. Since its a copper bars clone maybe someone running a pool for that coin would entertain this coin as well.

I'm drunk too.
