I can honestly say, after using slush for a couple of days while btcguild was down, that I feel sorry for the people who mine with slush full time.
Can you explain why? Should be obvious - if you don't switch pools when one is DDoS'd then your rig is sitting idle not making money. Slush - what's the word on service? Are you considering any kind of SiteBacker DNS load balancing to help with traffic distribution between colos - that's helped some of my environments with DDoS. What exactly is obvious? The comment clearly has implications that have nothing to do with ddos. This user is saying that he/she mines at btcguild and "had" to use slush when btcguild was down. based on her/his experience mining with slush for a few days, the user made their statement. why? |

Slush,
Could you please re-run payout calculations for block 135263 (record # 6431 from stats)
Something isn't right with it...
Thanks!

Unfortunately, I am going to have to switch to another pool once again. I originally started mining with this pool but about 1 month ago switched to another because of the amount of invalidated block compared to any other pool.
6414 2011-07-07 18:24:00 0:11:13 483355 0.00800290 - invalid
6413 2011-07-07 18:12:47 0:11:39 497313 0.00734895 - invalid
6412 2011-07-07 18:01:08 0:53:54 2333879 0.00803047 - invalid
I do not show 6414,13,12 as invalid... they are all confirmed for me. I do see 6420 as being invalid though... |

Departure is running on PowerColor 6990. I have Sapphire 6990.
Any others try this? Does it work for you, or not?

I'm just shaking my head in dismay at you all who are coming up with excuses not to have SSL.
I don't think people are specifically arguing against SSL, but rather arguing against making it the default. Whatever... Just make it happen please. Let us know how we can help. Thanks. |

Hmmm... I do have 450 CFMs blowing over the cards... my OC switch is on.

Is the OC switch on?
Yeah I have the OC switch on and the voltage set to 1.12v since 1.175v made no improvement in hash rate. I didn't mess with voltage. Which 6990 do you have? |

HTTPS might increase load too much for the server to handle.
The cookies also need to be made secure. Right now you'll send them over an insecure connection if you ever visit any HTTP page even if you use HTTPS normally.
Properly configured servers won't have any issues with SSL. Poor excuse. |

I've been testing these settings shown here in this thread as well as others on my 6990 for the last two days using GUIMiner and Phoenix 1.50 along with all the kernel tweaks I could find and I'm not getting anywhere near 432-455Mh/s. At 910/840 clock speeds using the flags (-k phatk VECTORS BFI_INT AGGRESSION=7 WORKSIZE=128) on Windows 7 x64 with the 11.7 CATs I'm getting about 407 Mh/s which is 25-48Mh/s less per core. So if you guys are actually getting speeds in the range of 432-455 Mh/s at 910Mhz there must be something else going on here allowing the higher hash rate other than just using the settings mentioned otherwise the results would be more replicable.

With all the shenanigans with exchanges and DDOS against pools, it's only a matter of time till the forums fall victim to something...
Would SSL by default help avoid "some" problems? Probably.
A cert is very inexpensive nowdays. I'm sure ppl would chip in for this purpose if we were asked to do so.
Chip in? You realize the people who started BTC have 100,000s of BTC right? Wildcard cert is like $200. So what? If the call came, ppl would chip in. Or you can lobby these people you are talking about to pay for it. Go for it! |

how are you guys getting past 900mhz overclock? My CCC only goes to 900. I heard something about using a tool from MSI to get into the 950 range but also heard that it only helps a tiny bit.
Also, these XFX cards of mine have lifetime warranty. What can I/can I not do to OC to the max but still keep that warranty. I know I can't flash the card BIOS, for example.
How are you a full member and not familiar with MSI Afterburner? There are plenty of posts, including an official MSI Afterburner guide, in these forums. Easy to find. |

Slush, Where's all this increase in pool's hashing coming from?  |
|
|

Just took some pics, for writting a tutorial so i'll post my rig here also 3 x 6990 = 2600 MH/s - 2700 MH/s Damn how did you get this thing to run stable at 2600mh? Must clocked the crap out of it. I have 2x 5970 and only able to run it at 1300-1400mh  Here's how: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=25798.0 |

So, the 2.9GHz will do 65Mhash/s...
What about the 2.6GHz version?
I know it's the same wattage and all, but it's $20 cheaper and if it will do same hashing rate, i'd prefer to pay $20 less.

Thanks for your inputs!
I'll put this on the back-burner for now... When I'm bored I'll experiment.
