I still have over 400K CTM sitting unconfirmed at ctm.coinpool.de and they will not reply to e-mail. Who runs that pool and how do I get in contact with them?

I have over 400K CTM sitting unconfirmed at coinpool.de Been that way for over a week.

I have over 400K CTM sitting unconfirmed at coinpool.de for over a week. Nobody responds to their e-mail.

Looks like yet another bunch of scammers.

1000000.00 O2O (I found an exchange where in theory this could get me 0.01 BTC - except the trade volume was zero, nobody buying O2O.)

I'd like to find an exchange where I can trade it all for LTC or BTC, whichever will get the best rate.

I have 0.00917553 BTC at CoinEX. It's slowly coming back but right now the only mining with any recent action there is DEM. Everything else it's been several days to months without any blocks found.

Looks like multipool.us is stuck long term on BTC, haven't found a command line for setting up to just mine on their SHA256 pool, and nothing with using BFGminer. That's what works best on the two block erupters and one antminer u2 I have.

Poolwarz says "all" the coins, but they don't have CTM. I like CTM because on a good pool I can get a lot quickly, doesn't feel like a *complete* waste of time...

Coinex pools have been out of action for the past 4 days or longer, no blocks found yet people are still mining there.

Mine DOGE? Not at Shibepool!

Looking for a hot place to mine CTM? ctm.coinpool.de was very good for me, for a day. Then nada the past couple of days and my withdrawal is going nowhere.

Cryptocurrency had better get some stability Real Soon Now or it's going to go down like the Dutch Tulip Market in 1637. Or perhaps the Golgafrinchans adopting the leaf as their currency, then burning down the forests to fight inflation.

I'm fed up with getting caught in the fires and having nothing to show for all the time I've put on my hardware mining.

I got into mining as a bit of a lark (after reading about how DOGE sent the Jamaican bobsled team to the Olympics), to see if I could accumulate One Bitcoin, likely could have had it by now if every #W%#@% pool I've mined at hadn't turned to a pool of quicksand.

So far I've mined and traded my way to 0.00910057 BTC, which is stuck at Coinex. I was mining CTM, trading to LTC then BTC. Their minimum for withdrawals is 0.01... almost there but currently no block finding, no trading and no withdrawals even if above the minimum. Looking like Coinex is going to be a longer drawn out exchange failure.

Those f#$%ers at Avast have added the current version of cudaminer as a "threat" in their latest virus definition update.

I have an MPC TranSport T2500. 4 gig RAM, 2.5 Ghz Core 2 Duo, GeForce 8600M GS with 256 meg dedicated RAM. I put Win 7 x64 Ultimate on it. Verra nice-a with the 1680x1050 LCD. MPC made top line stuff before they went out of business.

Just for the frell of it, I want to see how it mines SHA256 and Scrypt.

Cudaminer runs out of memory and Bfgminer can't find the GPU. I've not found a definitive answer on whether or not this GPU does CUDA. The 8600M GT does, but the 8600M GS???

bfgminer.exe -S opencl:auto -o stratum+tcp://mzc.pools.triplehexxx.net:3333 -u login.worker -p YoDaPassWord! -I 8 (Of course not real Worker/pass)

cudaminer.exe -H 1 -i 0 -l auto -C 1 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9043 -u login -p pass

Changes to make or is it just not possible with this GPU?

I downloaded the SiLabs CP21xx customizer, which fails to run on XP because it can't find SLAB_USB_SPI.dll sitting right next to it in the same folder.

Any other way to set unique serial numbers on these with Windows?

XP is refusing to work with more than one DP210x device at a time because the manufacturers of these ASIC modules either gives them all the same serial (block erupter) or doesn't set any of the programmable data at all (antminer).

I have two Block Erupter Sapphire and one Antminer UT, using XP Pro SP3. I can plug in any combination of TWO of these ASICs but when I plug in the third one, it doesn't matter which one, Windows virtually unplugs the second one and puts a ! on the third one.

Properties on that 3rd device (doesn't matter which one) says it's a duplicate device. I have tried all the possible orders of plugging them in, into the same hub, some into the hub and some into ports directly on the PC.

Doesn't matter how they're plugged in, the third always knocks out the second and itself.

So it's not restricting the disabling to the device name immediately following -disable. One -disable anywhere in the command line (I tried moving it around) and it disables everything.

Looks like a bit of a bug in 3.10

Next step will be having an Antminer U2 and two BES running together. (Got a U2 for only $14 on Amazon.)

bfgminer.exe -disable-gpu -S erupter:all -o stratum+tcp://stratum.coinex.pw:9944 -u worker -p password -I 8 --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100

I launch with this and during startup it disables all BES then I have to go to device manager and re-enable them manually. Is there something I can use in the command above to make it not do that?

I have -disable-gpu so I can use the computer while the BESes are mining, then run another miner for scrypt on the GPU.

It's Friday, March 28th, 2014 in the USA. Only one more day to "next week" or "this week".

Not much time left in "next week".

R280x = $399 != low budget.

I have been using Cudaminer. All the tweaking seems to be going into the newer nVidia GPUs.

I haven't done any mining since coinex went down. They're rapidly running out of "next week" to get things up and running and secure.

I'd love to know where to get a HD 6970 for $100. None on buy it now on ebay that low, but the lowest price there is less than any other place. The 6970 seems to be a hard card to find. Many sellers have the 6950 but no 6970.

At least I haven't put actual money into any cryptocurrency so all I'll have lost if I get nothing out of CoinEX is some time, electricity (at 6 cents Kwh) and what I spent on a couple of used block erupters.

If the site isn't back up by this Friday, at least enough so people can trade everything to BTC and withdraw, then I'll be calling them a bunch of crooks. That'll be the farthest I'm willing to wait on it getting sorted out.

It's now the 2nd business day of "next week"... the clock is ticking.

Or higher numbers on the product name don't always equal higher performance.

I have $100-ish to spend on a GPU for mining scrypt coins, and also plan to do SHA256 along with a couple of block erupter sapphires (I got them really cheap) and will likely buy an Antminer U2 or two since they're faster and cheaper than the U1.

But right now I need a GPU that's not stupid expensive and won't be a gigantic waste of money due to it having a model name that makes it seem like it should be fast when it's likely one from the previous generation that was higher up the performance ladder will outperform it.

My electricity cost is 6 cents a kilowatt hour.

I bought a Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 with 1GB DDR5 in an auction lot, supposedly new but it damaged two motherboards. One was my olde Socket 939 board, the other was a $40 OEM Asrock 770 Extreme3. I figured that perhaps it killed the PCIe bus on the 939 from pulling too much power for a 1.0 spot, even though I had both 6 pin plugs connected to the board. I first tested the Asrock with an 8800GT, booted fine. Then I plugged in the 6870 and @#%@#%#%^%@#@%@!!!!!! Deader than the 939 board, which stops POST at 6b (if I had an old PCI video card it might still work). The Asrock just goes straight to FF. (I'm getting a replacement board, same model.)

If the card could be repaired cheaply... but Sapphire won't touch it, not even for $. If your Sapphire dies out of warranty, you're screwed.

The best GPU I have now is a nVidia 9800 GT 1GB. It averages 20-ish Khash on scrypt and can peak at several Mhash (I forget just how high, IIRC I saw around 100 with the latest BFGminer) on SHA256 but it won't maintain that top speed for some reason, varies up and down a lot.

I've been working with computers for over 30 years and have always been a bit of a cheapskate when it comes to buying hardware. I wait for prices to drop to what I consider non-insane instead of being an early adopter throwing money at the latest shiny object. I remember when hard drives first dropped to $1 a megabyte. 500 megs for $500! Then I was able to buy somewhat smaller drives for peanuts, and laugh at those who bought the 500's when the 750~800's came out for less than $1/meg.

When dealing with a site that involves money and a need for security, it's not such a brilliant idea to put anything like source code or the API etc out where crooks and thieves can have a look at it and find holes to exploit.
