Hello everybody! Greetings from Russia.
Just wanted to have a thread for myself here on the Newbie forum. I am mining mostly Litecoin in P2Pool, dabbled a little in Feathercoin, but never found a block. Not a very great set up. Will get to list it in my tagline. But it's a simple GTX 560TI doing 155-162 k/hash scrypt with the new CUDA Miner. Input that into this Excel table as well
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AjMqJzI7_dCvdG9fZFN1Vjd0WkFOZmtlejltd0JXbmc#gid=2 Have a slow GTX260 doing 20-24 khash scrypt, which I can't seem to pump higher before crashing.
Hobbies are mostly amateur ham radios and astrophotography. Maybe someday I'd be able to buy a proper mount and telescope for the crumbles of Litecoin that I have. The current 0.2 LTC isn't much
Pondering at getting a 5630 for mining. Sadly those are so hard to find right now. No store in Russia holds them. What they do stock does less! actually then my current setup. The whole calamity can peak at 220 khash for scrypt, but then it looks and sounds like Chernobyl at meltdown.; Lasts as long as well sadly
I dread the summer. It can get up to +30C or higher and I am afraid my whole little mining 'rig' would just melt.
Just sharing some personal thoughts and experiences, running Minerd on full 4 cores results in less khashes for my GPU's somehow. Wanted to reply to that on the CUDA miner thread
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.580 here, but newbies aren't allowed to do that. Seems if you run the new CUDA miner with the -D option and let it tune you will get a handy table of how your NVIDIA GPU performs at different settings of S**x* (that's not a swearword
)
Feel free to ask something, if anything in my introduction post caught your eye. I'd like to think I am a kind and helpful wolf ^^
