You can edit the bios and flash your card with it, there is a forum topic around here that goes through the process, it is quite easy. They use the atiflash program that you use in msdos and flash your cards with, I used it to flash one of my voltage locked 7950's a while ago. Anyway they say after the modded bios the card only consumes 187 watts! I think stock it uses about 240 watts so that is really good. they still hash at 27 mh also
how come a 7950 does 27mhashes ? What is your ATI driver and what setting do you use ? |

Seems like somebody instamined this coin to death and now the difficulty is slowly decreasing.
we've noticed this happen a few times already, a mining farm will target SOIL for a day or so, mine the bulk of distribution and move on when the difficulty has gotten too high. the downward direction of difficulty is slower than the upward changes, and so it takes some time for these to reduce to a lesser hashrate being used against the system as miners move on to lower difficulty. the changes within the Homestead release to the difficulty algorithm were supposed to make the longer blocktimes we are experiencing "mathematically impossible", but this is clearly not the case. we do look forward to when a workable proof of stake system of block rewards can be implemented on SOIL, and have been following the developments towards that with dedication. the network is SLOW but is still running. cryptocurrency mining has become big business. personally, my contribution to running the consensus engine is hampered by the archaic computer i use, but im waiting for a riser cord to come in from the mail so that i can attach the more advanced GPU my brother sent to me (R9 290X) to a computer and be able to mine effectively. but, mining hashpower goes where difficulty is low and profitablility is high. everything is viewed regarding short term profit, and thats perfectly OK. but SOILcoin is a long-term project, and whether we have to find outside funding in order to build an appropriate mining rig that will act as a catalyst against the mining farms that visit us every so often is another thing to look at. (if anyone wants to contribute by sending me older video cards to build into a rig, let me know, id be forever appreciative) May be a quick pump will bring a lot more miners. Suprnova pool is getting closed You will need MANY rigs to fight that power. We're talking 100s of good GPU's. One "ok" rig pushes around 150 Mh/s ethash.. which is nothing when the coin is hit like this, by 2-3 000 Mh/s A fast adjusting difficulty might help, but as long as it cant adjust "mid block", there will always be that massive hard block taking hours for regular miners to crack. agreed. but the larger CONSISTENT hashrates dedicated to the system, the faster reductions in difficulty can occur when hit by a massive mining farm like we have seen. theres no realistic way to prevent this sort of "attack" at present. at best, we can push mining power towards the system regularly to ensure a quicker system response to high difficulties. there is no perfect system. we presently have 37 MH/s network speeds, which is really one or two miners helping secure the system. as long as the system is continually moving forward, im content, but im frustrated by the inconvenience that these high difficulty levels presents for simple and speedy transfers. it also makes deploying new contracts to the network very slow, but i muddle along best as i can. blocktimes and prevention of massive mining attacks is one of the things im consistently researching, to find a way to improve our average blocks towards the mean targeted block time. mid-block adjustments would be a major security flaw, though, even if there were a way to implement it. |

I hate the campaign that promote betting, casino, card games and will never promote any dice games and casino or card games. Crypto market is sort of gambling , i know that. I treat it like stock market and sell my mined coins. I am pretty bad at assumption.

another example:
0.0006 x 50 = 0.03
(0.001 x 25) x 2 = 0.05
so if you can post 50 posts per week, instead of joining just one signature campaign with low pay rate, you should join 2 signature campaigns with high pay rate but low maximum post for higher payment.
2 sig campaign at a time ? Is it allowed ? |

I have been mining DCR for some time. But due to the fact that it's dead I'm changing to another coin now. I have got like 0.5 DCR at the moment.. you don't really think that I try to influence the price to sell 0.5 DCR?  HELLO......where are you? O wait, you sold all your coins. Goo cry in corner now  There's no need for rubbing it in, we are better than that. There will be many more lows and highs, the FUD doesn't help anything on either side. Doesn't mean it doesn't feel good though  I don't care about DCR anymore. It's just a temporary high because you have been lucky and added to poloniex... but this won't help anymore.. DCR is dead. Have fun DCR has wonderful community, decent volume although a bit low price in comparison to immediate past values. Why do you say it is a dead coin ? |
