Okay So Im running 2x 7970 xfx


Win 7 64 bit
cgminer 2.11.4
No cross fire
Driver version: 12.100.17.0
CCC: 13.3 beta 3
SDK: 2.8
Core: 1025
Mem: 1800
Voltage: 1.170


I cant get it to stop giving me HW errors!!!

When i run it with no extra settings it gives me HW errors..

I am going INSANE I cant figure this out...

First, go here: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison

Second, get 13.1 Catalyst, it's the best for mining LTC (currently).

I have already tried that.. Those settings wont work..

I have heard people have had problems with XFX cards, but I have had troublesome cards too.  If you want, feel free to PM me your settings and I may be able to help you figure out some great settings.

So I have a 5 GPU rig but windows is only mining with 4. It detects the 5th card, but it doesn't show up in MSI afterburner or CGMiner.  Can anyone help? I heard someone say something about "jumping" the PCIe slot but I really have no idea how to do that. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Concerning the Coins/day issue I have with TRC:

I went to coinotron and divided the hash rate by the TRC/Day column on their statistics page (seeing I couldn't find a calculator anywhere and was curious about your numbers on dudstcoin).  I found that if you divide the hash rate to the TRC/Day column, you get the same number regardless of the hash rate: ~118.27.  Now that number apparently depends on when I refresh the screen (it changes by ~.02 or so when I refresh but all the hashrate/TRC per day are the same if you do the math on the list).   I wonder if I'm making any sense...   Anyway, I found that at about 3600mh/s, I should be making around 30.5 TRC a day.  Which only comes out to a little over $16 a day at current market value.  Your website says I should make ~$72 a day at that hashrate.    Can you explain where I went wrong in my calculations.  Because if your numbers are correct, I'm going to switch to TRC to test it out.

Look up the meaning of ponzi scheme. No really look it up. You need to actually read it and understand it. Then pick your date. I can't make it any more clear.

If they have a working product and are able to deliver all of said product to the consumers who have ordered it while maintaining a profit, then by definition they are not a ponzi scheme. I strongly suggest you look up what a ponzi scheme is before attacking me.

If they cannot deliver by some date we choose, then we have the right to request a refund in mass. If BFL cannot refund our money and have no product, then yes they are a ponzi scheme. Then I and my lawyers will call for a both an investigation by the government and also a class action lawsuit. The management will return to prison and we will address the ASIC issue in a more transparent and open way.





Are you sure you read it correctly? Actually its worse than a ponzi scheme it gives no returns on investments.

I don't like insulting people, but you are an exception.  You're an idiot:  First of all, it says right on your pic that a ponzi scheme "Pays returns to its investors with from their own money or the money paid by subsequent investor." PAYS INVESTORS. You even highlighted and underlined it like the *retard* you are.  When the hell did BFL give ANY money to ANYONE that hasn't specifically requested a return?  NOWHERE do they have ANY kind of claim of the nature.   They offered a product and took money for it.  Although it took them a while to start shipping, THEY ARE SHIPPING.... PRODUCTS!!! NOT MONEY!!! IDIOT!!!  Not only did you succeed in making yourself look like a stupid asshole, but you also succeeded in pissing me off (among others, I'm sure) by posting a retarded thought that your stupid brain dropped onto a keyboard like the shit from an ass drops into a toilet.  

*rant over*

Hey if you want to follow it to the tee. They take new investors money to keep operations going for more than 1 year. Have you run a business for a year with zero income? Have they created any products and shipped out to pay bills, employees, taxes, electricity, supplies?

NO

They took and used pre-order money to supplement their operation FOR A YEAR!!!! and when someone asks for their money back they get more pre-orders letting them off the hook for the older pre-orders and that tends to dry up capital. So now they raise the prices to compensate for the lack of fund.

Now they could be at the end of their R&D and about to ship products now or soon in the future but why was I told in October many times that my pre-order was estimated for delivery in the last weeks of Dec 2012 and they purchased a new location and were expecting benches for assembling the units in Feb 2013? Is that a lie? or a stretching of the truth?

So the ponzi scheme here is the perpetual lying of estimated ship dates. To look at their website and watch the dates of estimate shipping being changed from March to April and soon it will be changed to May. This has been going since October and from what I hear before that.

So its not a investment ponzi scheme, its a pre-order scheduled ponzi scheme all the same a lie and a fraud.

I would say check the forums but as BFL is a great advertising payer (more money from products they have not sold) they have been removed from here.

as you put it rant over


First of all, thank you for being civil even after I was rude, that tells me something about your character.  Second of all, I apologize for insulting your character (on the forum for all to see).  Third of all, you're wrong about BFL.  The funny thing is no matter what happens you will hate them. Whether they ship or not, you will either hate them because they shipped late and you backed out, or because they kept putting off the ship dates instead of being straight forward and saying it will be months before shipment.  The thing is this: BFL shipped the FPGA's and they WILL ship ASICs and even if the difficulty went up 10 times, it will still produce ~$1500 worth of bitcoins with the 60Gh/s unit and ~$126 with the 5Gh/s units.  The truth is this, these things use a lot less wattage than any mining system out there so power costs will drop significantly;  GPU's will turn to another currency because of the difficulty to reward to power cost ratios (freeing up a lot of hashing power for ASICs, which are currently at only 30% of the BTC mining community, or so I've heard);   Considering all this,  Even if it doubles again,  these numbers will half but still pay itself off in a few months (even for the late comers); remember that with the difficulty increase, costs will likely also increase, making these number (most likely) lower than what they probably will be.

I get the idea that you either hate BFL because you had a really bad encounter, or you have your own unit on order and want to make everyone get a refund so you move up inline.   

Don't know what else to tell you so I'm leaving it at this.

So, it's not a huge breakthrough but it's still better than a lot of you people thought.  BFL started shipping yesterday and even though it was one unit yesterday and three today, the point is: THEY STARTED SHIPPING!  So for all you people saying this is a ponzi scheme (which is a retarded thought because they didn't promise ANY kind of return, just a product, which they started to ship) or a scam, here you go: https://forums.butterflylabs.com/blogs/bfl_jody/136-shipping-update.html

I hope you enjoy the lost BTC because of your skepticism (especially those that got a refund, thanks for moving me up in line).

I ordered one. When it is connected to Slush's pool and I see 5 G/hashs of sweetness, then I will be happy. Until then:

I will also roll all over my floor laughing at all the people making fun of me because I took a risk with BFL.  Believe me,  I will gladly throw it in your face that I'm at 60gh/s with a wonderful video and a few pictures.   Shit, I'll throw in a pic of my wallet after 24 hours of mining, just to piss you off.

Even if BFL doesn't ship in time to make $10k a month (the projected income for BTC/USD for the 60Gh/s units),  I will still be able to (at the very least) make a few hundred a month and considering that I only $1400 for the unit, I'll have it paid off in less than six months and make extra money afterwards.  I doubt I'll be making any less than a few thousand a month, but I'm setting my standards very low.

I'm new to the whole community, but I'm lovin it.  I'm taking programming classes right now just because I want to learn more about computers and maybe develop my own FPGA Miner (for shits and giggles, hoping that it bears some tasty fruit).    Maybe eventually make an ASIC?  Hah, just pipe dreams.  Anyways, if you're feeling generous, I could use the BTC/LTC!

Most press releases are apologizing for yet another delay, production/testing problem, etc, and begging for customer patience and forgiveness. In fact, the vast majority of press releases are pretty much the OPPOSITE of "exactly what you want to hear", since I'm sure the overwhelming majority of pre-order customers want to hear "Hey, we're shipping your unit(s) now!" *BUZZ*

SO, let's see, 3 out of 4 assertions incorrect.  *golfclap*

But yes, please do continue to encourage people to cancel their pre-orders and get refunds. Every cancelled pre-order earlier than mine means I move up the line and get mine sooner.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have a question regarding the bolded statement -- The guy "running the company" isn't the guy who was convicted of mail fraud.
Before my question however, I would like to share a story:

There was a newly created school in NY for 5 year olds. This school promised to essentially turn 5 year olds into Einsteins within 30 days. It's promise was that it would increase the IQ of a student by 30-40 points.  The "guy running the school" (the Principal) was a highly qualified individual who was well liked by both the school's staff as well as the parents.  Every parent who enrolled their child into the school believed that the school could indeed significantly increase the IQ of their children. Their wish was that they're child could someday grow up to change the world for the better.  The blogs and reviews for the school were extremely positive.  The school's advertisements could been seen everywhere.  If a Google search of the words increase+IQ were performed, the first paid ad that appeared was for the school. But the clouds began to darken.

A parent, concerned that 30 days had elapsed and her 5 year old son "Johny" still didn't know his ABC's began to dig into the background of the staff and to her surprise discovered that a "high level executive" within the schoold was a Registered Sex Offender (a pedophile), a Level 1 to be precise (the most violent/determined to reoffend again). He was arrested and convicted of raping a 5 year old boy.  This "high level executive" was actually on parole and a condition of his parole was that he not have any contact with children.  His presence in the school as a "high level executive" was therefore a clear violation of the conditions of his parole. 

When the concerned parent began telling the other parents about what she had discovered, they began to surmise that maybe, just maybe, this "high level executive" was actually the one pulling all the strings in the school and that the "guy running the school" (the Principal) was just a front man, after all, you couldn't have a convicted pedophile as the Principal of a school for 5 year olds. More rumors began to spread that maybe, just maybe, the entire school was a scam devised by the convicted pedophile as a means to gain access to hundreds of 5 year olds, where he could have his pick.

As word began to spread, parents began to remove their children from the school.  Many parents however, kept their children enrolled despite the fact that their 5 year olds would be in the same building on a daily basis with this convicted pedophile. They continued to keep their children in the school even after 60 days elapsed and there was no increase in their child's intelligence, then 90 days and no increase, then 120 days and no increase, then 150 days and no increase, then 180 days and no increase.  Eventually, the school year came to an end and the children were no smarter than the day they first entered the school.  But despite this, some parents planned to re-enroll their children the following year. Their rationale was that they believed that the school could deliver even after it failed to deliver month after month for the prior school year.

When asked why they would keep their children in the school after its failure to deliver as promised, they couldn't provide a logical answer. They would always provide a statement that translated into "I still believe in the school because I have hope that they might deliver" and when asked about the convicted pedophile lurking within the school, they responded that he wasn't a teacher nor was he the principal, he was a "high level executive" walking amongst their children on a daily basis.

So my question is as follows:

If you were to initially enroll your child into this school and it continued to fail to deliver (increase his/her IQ by 30-40 points in 30 days) and then you discovered that a "high level executive" working inside of the school was convicted pedophile, would you keep your child in the school?



I understand that this is quite late compared to the post, but this post is pretty ridiculous.  First of all, if you're going to compare teaching kids with delivering ASIC units, you have to add that the ONLY other school does not take any students and your only other option is homeschool (and for arguments sake, let's say they're learning rocket science, you know... because not very many people know how to build an ASIC miner... or rocket science..).  Second of all, you should relate the convict to a principal that stole money from a college that he worked at, rather than a pedophile.  Pedophilia is purely disgusting and is far worse than stealing money, regardless of how you look at it, the 2 shouldn't be connected in any way (unless the Pedo stole money, but that would be another story altogether).

You can hate on BFL all you want, but this is a terrible analogy; not only is it offensive (to people that had their child raped or have been raped themselves as children) but it also made you look like a complete asshole.
78  Other / Beginners & Help / NOTE TO NICKASA/notroll.in users. on: April 13, 2013, 08:15:32 PM
So I'm a newbie and can't post in the other threads so I'm posting one here (Admin: please put this thread in the litecoin pools forum, if it's ok).   

Nickasa, I have a great idea for you.  You can pay everyone back and setup a donation server (for people mine one with like a 10% KNOWN donation fee).  I'm sure people will get on and mine on it, that way, people are happy to see you're not scamming and don't feel like you've stolen from them, while at the same time, allowing people to pay the hot wallet and restore pool funds.  Please PM me and let me know what you think.

To everyone ragging on Nickasa for the way he handled this: while you are correct in saying that he shouldn't have taken the ltc out of peoples accounts, this pool is clearly not a scam.  He would be a terrible scammer considering the pool is stil around and didn't up and disappear; also allowing first come first serve withdrawals. Although your concerns are valid, what do you think ragging on the guy will do?  It's not going to motivate him to give the ltc back, it's going to motivate him to go silent.  Personally, I'm not happy that this happened but it did. 

I'm extremely new to mining (have only been doing it for a week), but I knew right from the beginning not to keep my funds on another wallet except my own.  Although I don't blame you for your ltc getting taken, you should still have known better.
