OK so now what....
2 last 2 cards are being shipped back to Amazon due to failing fans. I have either the opportunity to sell the rig and get out of the business of mining or I have to buy new GPU. I only have a case (HAF-XB) not a large multi-card rig and it seems if I use anything but buying 4 750ti cards I run in the red losing $0.50 per day, not much granted but still a loss. I could look at either a couple of Sapphire R9 280x Vapor-x TRI-x cards which will run at about 360k/hs with a system 550w ish draw. Or buy 4 750ti's that I might get 560k/hs out of with a system power draw of 300w ish, but the has rate is less, should I care? its more efficient, but are the cards useful enough if I stop mining. my Pc has a 6870 AMD card in it as it is, where as the Vapor-x would definitely be an improvement should I decide to stop mining and keep a card.
I'm almost tempted to give up as there is virtually no profit to be had, or should I go with the 750ti's for efficiency sake or a couple of Vapor-x's as the better hash rate will serve me well if the prices go up
Good question, Did you factor in that with 2 280x's you should get around 720 kHs? It sounds like you factored in the power, but not the increase in hash... I'm planning to move my rig in with a friend back at te dorm because electricity is killing me (only about 10-15 cents at the moment after paying for power). Your call, my first suggestion would be to make a friend (we're going to split the profit for a win/win). Yeah I was using coinwarz and ised 720 hashrate at system power of 550W or 4 x 750ti at about 140 hash per card = 560kh/s with about a 295W. the 280x cards only turn a profit if a card goes up in price. the 750tis make $0.10-$0.50 a day. It just doesn't seem worth it right now  I could go with the 280x cards on the basis they are better cards with a better resale value, though thats all speculative of course. |

Sell them and get a lot of GTX 750 Tis...evga sc are my favorite.
What miner do you use and what hash rate do you get, settings would be useful to know too. Odd to think that even using 4 cards i'd be getting less hasrate but according to coinwarz making a profit by a few cents rather than a loss with the cards i'm sending back. Anyone know when the next nividia cards might come out and what performance might be? |

Well I have considered giving up on the mining and selling the rig, but I live in hope of a ROI. other people have said about 750 ti.. I always thought AMD cards were best for mining, also not sure how to fit them to the rig yet. I've got risers I can use but its about having a place to put the card in a HAF-XB case has anyone used Sapphire Vapor-x cards?

Hi Vertcoiners
I thought I'd ask this here too as I've been considering mining vert for a little whlie after mining another n-scrypt coin.
Some opinions please. I currently have 2 Sapphire Dual-X R9 280x cards that I right now arranging to be send back to Amazon due to failing fans on 2 of the original 3 I bought, so I'm now going to be needing some new cards. I've been mining months even now and I think its still worth GPU mining for a few months yet before the ASIC invade
Suggestions on good mining cards... especially for cards that don't have failing cooling fans in less than 6 months use. I think I'm only getting 2 this time as trying to put 3 in a HAF-XB case meant they ran at 70+ and an 80+ temp. I guess I'm looking at 280x cards maybe 290x depending on monies, I still haven't paid for my rig since prices crashed with the bitcoin price fall in recent month so I'm not over joyed with the prospect of paying out a lot more
Thoughts?

I've been mining Execoin for weeks, months even now cos I like the idea and the Devs seem to be involved etc.

ATTENTION:Execoin has now been migrated over to Dedicated v2.0. Currently miners are mining at v1.0 and v2.0 of our websites: v1.0: http://exe.dedicatedpool.com
v2.0: http://exe.v2.dedicatedpool.com
I would suggest mining on v2.0 as everyone will be moving over there as soon as possible.  EXE.V2.DEDICATEDPOOL.COMMining Information- SSO (single sign-on) - one account for all our pools on Dedicated v2.0
- Custom stratum/mpos environment
- Vardiff enabled
- PPNLS payout system
- Everything is transparent - blocks, donations, fees.
Server Infrastructure
- SIX(6) SERVERS IN CLUSTER
- DDoS level 7 cloudflare, 5 and 3 stratum, and level at 1 switch level
- 8 Core servers, 256GB DDR3 RAM, RAID 10 SSD
- Ramdisks, memcaches, to make things go extremely quick
Are the sites working right now? I can't get the new one to load up to sign up and the payment request to empty my balance on the original exe dedicatedpool.com site doesn't seem to do anything either[/list] |

OK I realise I've asked this before but I'm still surprised that i'm not getting anywhere.
I have 101288 mint, 97k were deposited in this wallet on 10/3/14. I then got a minting on 7/4/14, a donation by some kind fellow here on 27/4/14 and minting on 28/4/14, but nothing else. Shouldn't I get some more minting transactions? Or does it really mean I have to wait 20 days between each possibly minting. I realise I don't have much of the coin in the first place. But surely a few mintings should take place shouldn't they?
All my coins is the in the balance section of the wallet. There is nothing in the stake line. Is that right? I have the v1.9.1 wallet.
the little green icon in the lower right corner of the wallet says my weighting is 293 vs network 80212182 and estimated time to receive reward is 95 days
Is it right that I only get a minting every 20 days.. am I just unlucky because I have a low balance and so won't get hardly any minting?
If its going to be so long inbetween mintings I'm not going to get anywhere and may as well give up and sell... or is something wrong?
Im sure that every time your 97k transaction is aged, you will get your MINT interest payment within 20-40 days. For all small amounts in your input adresses it will likely take much longer, since their priority is very low and there is not much interest for them to generate. You can review your inputs by opening coin control window and sort by list mode. If you want, you can combine all your amounts in to one single big input. For this you will have to send all your coins to your own recieving address. Be aware that by sending your coins out (even to yourself) will reset selected inputs age to 0.Hopefully that answers your question. So basically I have such a low amount of the coin its rarely going to generate anything?!? What is the [Stake: ] part of the wallet supposed to show? All my coins are in the [Balance: 118....] line. If I have no stake is that why I'm not generating coins? I found the display coin control tick box in the options but I can't see it does anything even after clicking apply and ok... am I missing something? I can see transaction history of course so when coins have come in but I assume this is different |

Hi, potentially ignorant question but now that Mintcoin is 100% PoS is the transaction time still 2 minutes?
I see that the mining block time was 30 seconds with 4 required confirmations.
Does this change due to PoS or not? I see you get PoS payment every 20 days.
No - it does not change. Mintcoin had a very good initial distribution; Mintcoin is distributed well enough for there always to be PoS blocks on the blockchain every 30 seconds or so. Unless it tells you expected reward is in 118 days lol.... i see the end of mintcoin for me |

OK I've had mintcoin for some time now and I've got the latest wallet 1.8, and 92k mint. The last time I saw any minting was 7th April. I know I have relatively low amount of coin but shouldn't I see more minting than that?
Well for starts, the 7th of April was only 19 days ago so you've not reached the minimum of 20 days coin age yet. Secondly, with only 92K Mint, it may take a bit more than 20 days for you to find a block. As long as you leave your wallet open and unlocked, you are going to get new coins, it may just take a bit longer than expected, but it will happen. You misunderstand me, that was the last time I minted coins, I have had coins in my wallet since 10th March 2014. I had 3 minting transactions on 7th April. But nothing since that. No, I did not misunderstand you, you said the last time you saw your wallet mint new coins was the 7th of April, I explained that it was only 19 days ago. Now you tell me that you had three mintings on the 7th of April and none since. Those three mintings would have been for different sets of "coin age" of coins in your wallet, and seeing as they all happened on the same day, then you will have to wait at least 20 days from the 7th of April to be able to mint again. Once your wallet mints again, they will almost certainly be in three transactions just like before. You have to also remember that minting is not guaranteed to happen "Exactly" on the 20th day, because your wallet is acting as a "Solo Mining Rig" and has to actually mine new blocks of coins, just the same as if you had a mining rig trying to find blocks of coins. Another thing, is that it is very advisable, that once your coin age reaches the 20 day period, and you want to mint coins, leave your wallet open and unlocked until it does mint new coins. Don't just open it and see that it's not minted any and think something is wrong, allow it to do the work needed to mint coins. OK perhaps I'm not understanding the minting process correctly then. I had an initial transaction on 10/3/14 and the had 3 minting transactions on 7/4/14, which now I've looked at it more closely only 1 was confirmed, 2 others have greyed out with question marks next to them. So having minted once after 20 days it usually take another 20 days to mint again? does the 90k coin that is already in the wallet not have a chance to continue minting because its already over 20 days old? Or is there usually a gap of 20 days between each minting. I'm sure I've seen pictures of wallets with minting every few days. Also I was sure I had read on http://www.mintcointalk.com/index.php/topic,239.0.html that as long as you open the wallet within 20 days minting should occur even without you having to permanently have the wallet open ( its not locked either). Currently I open it up every few days.. do I really need to just leave it open and running permanently to get it to mint? |

some help please...
How long is it supposed to be to start minting and how often should i expect minting to happen? I thought it was 20 days and I've had my coins for 23 days, though i only have a bit over 90k mint.

Can some tell me how often I should expect minting to occur? I realised, after not checking in for a while I was on the wrong wallet update and having done that today when should I expect minting to occur? I've had coins in my wallet since 10th March so its been over 20 days. Am I missing something else?

well that totally didn't work for me. GPUs won't even start like that, trying the miner out, but having to put in all the settings again, this nscrypt does seem like pure voodoo like that guy said I had same problem. GPUs off, you just need 8mb of ram, then all works. The funny thing is when I'm mining, I look the system memory and I'm just using 1.6 mb, so I dont understand why 4mb not enough. I was just about to task does having more than 4gb ram actually make a difference? It only does when you use the onboard graphics (included in your processor). Just tested this yesterday. I have 3x 280x (Dual-X) running and 4GB memory is enough without getting any HW errors. As soon as I allocated memory to the onboard GPU (just to make it work), one of the GPU's stopped because of low mem. So I'm guessing you need 4GB of RAM per 3 280x's. And what settings do you use? Alot of people suggest 1000/1500 clock speeds. 8192 TC w256. but my GPU1 always gets HW. changing the TC more then 8191 or 8193 gives me huge amounts of HW, reductions in I kills the kh/s. really no idea what to do next |
