I realise "You cant polish a turd", but does anyone know of a n alternative/improved BIOS that works with the later 290 Tri-X 043 cards?

eg:  that supports the later Hynix ram.

@ SlidingHorn:  Made me chuckle cheers and thanks for the heads up.

@ BTCjamSupport:  Is there any chance of you actually responding to my question posted in the OP or my 2 emails sent to you which have been ignored, asking how you calculate interest rates?  Currently its as clear as mud.  

EG: A loan request says "5BTC 180 days @ 10%" for example; that's 10% per what exactly?

Thanks for all the others that have contributed to this thread.  very helpful.

Hi All,

I have thought about playing with BTCjam for a while and thought I would see if anyone else is using/having much success with it?

It clearly has more than its fair share of scammers, but it appears to also have a lot of legit projects or personal loan requests that don't look too silly.

I am a little confused how they state the interest rate for the loans and I have emailed BTCjam twice from both my work and personal gmail acocunts and have not received any reply to my question at all, which seriously discourages me from bothering with their platform.

Take a look at this example:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2JYIgMaP7k8eFVWTkZ0cjcyVFU/edit?usp=sharing
How is the interest in this example calculated?  Is it 20% of the outstanding balance per month? I cant get it to add up.

Moving on, does anyone have any suggestions for alternatives to BTCjam, preferably project investments or providing liquidity to traders, that kind of stuff?

Best,

OP:  As a provider I would like to have AltCoin as an alternative/additional payment method to BTC for all of the reasons you have already mentioned. I would definitely use it and would suggest the contenders you are already considering to be very good: LTC, VTC, DOGE.

I think PayPal may be a good option too as clients can pay in any fiat currency and have it converted to USD or whatever automatically by PayPal.

As per the subject really.

I have read in a few threads on this forum that users are recommending / using this motherboard for 4x GPU rigs, but nobody mentions doing anything special to get the GPUS detected.  I have tried the usual tricks of putting all 4 cards on powered risers and shorting the presence pins on the 16x slots and just about every combination of all this.

I have put together two small LTC mining rigs using identical parts and they both behave differently in terms of GPU detection, which is both very odd.

Both of the small rigs are:
ASRock 970 Extreme3 Rev2 -- 2x PCIE x16 Slots,  2x PCIE x1 Slots
Sempron 145 CPU --Yes I know this is crap and was a mistake :-)
4GB DDR3 1333mhz   cl9
1000W Fractal Tessla PSU

GPUs are Gigabyte R9 280x's

On rig#1 I can get a max of 3 GPUs working by plugging GPUs in to both x16 slots and the 3rd GPU into the 1x slot in between the two 16x slots using a powered riser.  A 4th GPU will not be detected if put into the remaining 1x slot on a powered riser.  I have tried all combinations and this is the max I can get detected on this one

On rig#2  I can only get a maximum of two GPUs detected!  Again I have tried all combinations of GPUs in slots / risers, presence pin shorts, etc and whats really odd is that if I put a GPU in each of the two 16x slots it only sees 1 GPU.  With GPUs in both the first x16 slot and the middle x1 slot I can get the two working and that's it :-(

Does anyone have any similar experience with these ASRock motherboards and ideally any tips or what do you all think I should do?  RMA them, get them swapped if possible maybe.  This motherboard is supposed to support both dual and quad crossfire.

A huge THANKS in advance for any direction on this one as I am really baffled by it and its really driving me nuts!  My gut is telling me that I should have just stuck with Intel when it comes to Mobos and CPUs, but I thought I would give this combo a bash.

Best,

I think there are still some coins worth looking at that are CPU only, such as PTS and maybe FZ.

Anyone else CPU-Mining anything worthwhile?
