Can someone give me an idiot proof guide to mining Feathercoin?

You could also try to improve your hashrate a bit more. Try this bat file, maybe make a new on incase it doesn't work.

Code:

cudaminer.exe -i 0 -m 1 -l 143x2 -C 1 -o http://198.58.99.87:6666 -O username.1:x

Cool!

My admin in the mining pool site says 91khash while the miner says 160. Why the difference?

Give it another 10 minutes, they should get close though they will never match 100%.

Got it.

What would be the best card atm for Feathercoin mining?

AMD 7970.

Cheap Sapphires are the best for mining Feathercoins/Litecoins.

I run mine undervolted and get 720kH/s.

Damn, huge difference.

I like the Gigabyte ones here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125413 when they are in stock. I get a solid 750 khash/sec and the three fans seem to help with temps. Some people do not like them because they are voltage locked, but I have had good results running them stock voltage and OC'd to 1065 core 1500 memory.

I bet they sell a lot of them lately.

My Sapphire runs undervolted to 1.02V at 1003 core and way under 1300 memory and I get 720kH/s. Saves me lots of power and makes it easy to cool.

You can bet your ass! Probably buying some AMD shares is not a bad idea ...

Yeah, they are sold out all the time. Most of the cheaper 7970's are.

Could always go with a 7950 too, slightly lower hashrate, but they are a bit cheaper. I also think they draw a few less watts, but not sure how the hash/electrical consumptions works out on those. Myself, I think over the longer-term you come out better with the 7970's, although plenty of people do swear by the 7950's. Best to do more research and go with what you feel works best for you.

Can you link the exact model, since Gigabyte seem perpetually sold out, maybe I will give one of those a try. Do you know your power draw on those since you undervolt? I have a box that has three 7970's and when I use a kill-a-watt it pulls 400 from the wall for one, 700 for two, and 1020 for three. It works out to roughly 300 watts per card with the remaining 100 watts for the system.

The cheapest one. No OC, no GHz-Edition, no Vapor-X, no nothing, because some of those only do 550kH/s even when overclocked like hell.

For a system with 3x7970 it pulls 625 Watt from the wall (in total!).

I doubt AMD's stock will be affected by a bunch of crypto coin mining junkies. Although, their stock is up 23% this year so far. Coincidence? Who knows.
