Does anyone know where the GRA hashrate is going?  It seems to be 400Mh+ but forkpool is barely getting any blocks.

Returned my MSI 7950 - they gave me a 7970 as a replacement.  Tried this in a test machine, but it is getting very very hot.  First with little hashing rate, like 300Kh at intensity 12, it kept getting hotter and hotter until maximum fan speed was reached, and kept going up - got to 94 degrees celsius before I quite cgminer.  This took about 1 minute, so guess I have to take this one back too!  Luckily I didn't stop my main mining rig to try it out - this current NBL block 39254 is taking ages - tried mining it yesterday, but had to stop, then let it run all day today and it is still working on it.

Hi, what happened your pool?  I was able to access it a few days ago, but the block confirmations weren't working.  Now I cannot see your site at all!

new developments?

As in?  NBL is still mining, albeit a bit slow.  A big storm took out internet at the pnw pool for some hours.  Then I moved back to pnw but then just now I rebooted my main rig because one 7950 was getting hot.  It seems one of the fans isn't working, so have shutdown to take the card out - maybe put in a 7870 instead.

The current block is 39250 - change in difficulty in 1070 blocks, so getting closer.

Back running on 2x 7950's for the moment, getting about 583Kh per card.  Will now work on getting the 7870 hashing properly.

Spent a few hours tuning a smaller mining rig.  Basically 1x XFX Radeon 5850 Black Edition - was running at about 321Kh/s at standard clock rates.  It has had the heatsink and fan replaced with a Accelero Twin Turbo II from Arctic (due to previous stock fan failure) - and runs at about 61 degrees Celsius.

I had been playing around with overclocking my 7850 so wanted to do the same with the 5850.

Now I am getting a stable 369.4Kh/s - but obviously getting hotter at about 70 degrees Celsius.

If anyone is interested, the stock black edition clocks at 775 for gpu and 1125 for memory.

and my new settings are:

--shaders 1440 --thread-concurrency 5824 --gpu-engine 890 --gpu-memclock 1125 -I 18

It uses 297 Watts now - previously was I think 250 Watts.  I did try raising the memclock but it seemed to make little difference, i.e. gpu at 900 gave very little improvement in hashrate, which needed memclock to be increased - but this means the memory runs hotter, so for me it wasn't worth the extra gain.  I was trying to get it to go past 370Kh but keep temperature and power down.

I have a brand new Radeon 7870 so will now play with that.  Also trying to upgrade my Ubuntu from 13.04 to 13.10 - the 13.04 says the 7870 is unsupported.

I knew I should not play around with too many things at once!  The Ubuntu 13.10 upgrade froze, and now the system doesn't boot.  The USB disk seems to be corrupted - the disk doesn't mount, and I can't access it even on a Linux notebook.  Luckily I wrote down the cgminer settings as I was working on it!  Now I will install Ubuntu 13.10 from scratch.

Thanks so much!


Still not received it. Sad I posted at page 16...

9dRcNsbySrHuGCYQDynXAfgb9ykU7sqXGg

Look at the first character of your wallet address... Now look at everyone else's... I think you have the wrong wallet

Yeap - that is a NYN wallet address.  Same name, but different coin.
69  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: BitEmber the first NyanCoin Pool! - And the best pool! on: January 10, 2014, 10:37:46 AM
Actually this is a NYN pool not NYAN pool.  The wallet needed for this starts with 9.

Thanks - I hope I am not too late.  I got stuck with the other NYN.

Yay!  http://nbl.pnwminer.com is back up on new hardware. I will be building out a block explorer shortly also since one is badly needed.

Thanks - I will be moving back to this pool later today.  Your block confirmations are lower at 60 than the other pool at 120.


[Edit]  Back on pnwminer - I had a restart of one of PC's so it was a good time to go back!

Oh mama!

My rigs PSU just created this beautifull bright light and let out some blue smoke. Nice fireworks  Shocked


Tough luck!  I am told that once the smoke comes out, it doesn't work anymore.

A couple of weeks ago, I had a Radeon 5850 running in a rig, when it suddenly started making a loud rattling noise - luckily I was nearby and shut it down to find that the fan had gone a little wonky, spinning unbalanced.  It would have been a matter of time before it started heating up and caused more permanent damage to the card.  Replaced the heatsink and fan with an Accelero Twin Turbo II from Arctic - now runs at 61 degrees instead of 80 degrees Celsius.

Get yourself a good power supply, a gold or platinum one (85+).

Well, it seems that now if we lost the pool, takes several days for maintenanc ... very bad for nibble.
I just have 1100KH and that's just very little to mining at the current difficulty

gizzig, now you can add your hashrate to the coinmine pool.

This pool was still running yesterday

Thanks suncoastbuddy, I registered on the pool and now am happily mining away.  NBL price is down at the moment and I hope it comes back up.

Ok - great - that will do for me to keep nibble/nybble going.

There is a fast solo miner running at the moment, 3 blocks have come through in the past hour, about 30 minutes apart.  I estimate he is probably running 8-9MH.  Current block 39191 - the target is 40320 for difficulty change.
78  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [PPL] PeopleCoin | Scrypt | PoW/PoS | No Premine on: January 07, 2014, 09:48:10 PM
Any news on this coin heading to Cryptsy?

I would say that this is very unlikely.  The network hash rate rarely exceeds 20MH with one main pool running.  Even that pool - isn't consistent, sometimes not paying out for long periods, or getting a run of hundreds of orphans.  Why this happens, I don't know.  It does sell on BtcLtc but the price isn't much, at present 0.5 CNY and looks like being this way for a while.

Apparently server problems have caused most of the pnwminer pools to be shutdown to avoid damage.  Better mine something else for the time being.
80  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: [ANN] Orbitcoin is broken on: January 06, 2014, 11:23:32 PM
It seems the problem with Orbitcoin mining has been found (a stuck PoS block), however the fix will not take effect until block 417000 is reached at which time mining will work again.  You will need to update to the version 1.3 wallet by that time.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B49exKIsGBn5Y3VuZEotS2dSNEk/edit

Current block is something like 4118xx so it will be a long wait.  Better mine something else for the time being.
