Hey all
![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)
So I've decided I'm going to throw my hat into the ring as it were and invest in some mining equipment. If only I had done it sooner, well, I'm sure most of us are in that boat. Picked up 3x Sapphire r9 290's and the other necessary items and am building my own setup using plastic bins. Sadly, that venture has been more work than I had assumed. Still waiting for my risers so only have 2 of the cards running right now. After some missteps, I finally got cgminer running at approx. 750khz/per card with next to no optimization. Going to wait to get all 3 running before really locking down and getting best possible speeds. Hope I can also remedy my issue of system crashes upon closing cgminer. Any tips?
Anyway, I'm running on [Suspicious link removed] right now and the stratum is down or whatever. I've been lurking, never had an account, and found I can't just up and reply in the topic. That brings me here, trying to get posting rights as it were.
Wish me luck
