Err... "Time Since Last Block: 12 hours 10 minutes 19 seconds". I'm not too sure if that's good?
Well, that remark no longer applies since we have found a couple more blocks since I posted that

with the right settings my sapphire goes up to 720 khash/s Please hook me up... What settings are you using? I have seen over 800 kh/s as the converted hash rate on pool sites due to submitting a bunch of shares quickly, but never been able to get that kind of speed from the card itself. [/quote] I use an Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 OC (11197-01-40G). Settings to about 730 kHash/s: vCore 1.0V, CoreClock 1050 Mhz, vMemory 1,500V MemClock 1750, tc 8192, -g 2, -I 13 (did find that sweet spot!) ratio is 0,600

No, not really since we're talking about mining MEC. Saw you over in the CGB pool. ![Cry](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cry.gif) I have some too, but there should be no doubt my loyalty is to MEGA coin. I found 7 blocks in the last 24 hours. How about you? ![Tongue](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/tongue.gif) Also thought I would mention difficulty is now 2.99, great time to find some easy blocks!

My MEC pool has been finding blocks nicely lately. We need more people so we can find more blocks more frequently. Payouts have been nice for those involved. We had 13+ workers at launch - all issues have been fixed thus far and it's been working smoothly for over 24 hours. Jump in and make some HASH waves peepz ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) (Plz!) ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif)

How's the hard fork going to affect the distribution of coins over the next blocks?

If Kimoto makes the difficulty adjustment design more responsive than the current smoothing algorithm, we would expect that more coins would be distributed to the dedicated miners who stick with Megacoin. This is because the difficulty will adjust quickly so the large multipools will only be able to mine it briefly before the difficulty rises. Also this will also help stabilize MEC in the upper quartile of mining profitability since the difficulty will drop quickly if the network hash rate diminishes.

Being a loyal MEC miner with a recently opened pool - I must 2nd the notion for such a change which would benefit loyal miners ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

I believe this is what we need to keep the "Multipool locusts" from screwing things up for everyone.

The difficulty adjustment algorithm needs to be changed, and designed in such a manner that it will keep up with multipool so that the recent events don't repeat itself.

We keep finding blocks slowly yet surely - We had like 15 workers on launch but now 3-5 workers throughout the day If yall still mining the MEC - jump in plz! I got a Pennies pool up and testing the distribution right now (more so for learning right now). If I ever solve a block - we'll see how that pans out. Setup pushpool (finally on Slackware!) and using the scrypt-jane fork of cpuminer from ali1234 - everything looks good. I'm not taking my MEC pool down any time soon though! Even with the few workers and HASH we got going on right now - we're still cashing in more than multipool would bring in (at least for my hash power), and helping the MEC network by being dedicated HASH power ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) Side note - can't wait to see the updates from the good Dr. !

Dr. Kimoto, just a reminder to look into the rpc client limit. Command line overrides don't seem to have any effect.
I'd like to be able to mine with more machines. Right now I can only use 3 consistently.
Thanks!

You can see it's intermittent. Restarting the miner has no effect. Only restarting the qt client. megacoind has the same issue iirc. I'm running four cgminer instances plus one perl script polling stats every five minutes. (note: when the four miners are connected, the qt-client refuses the perl connection for stats (times out)) I do not have this issue with other coin qt clients. Please look into it if you can. Thanks Dr. Kimoto, just a reminder to look into the rpc client limit. Command line overrides don't seem to have any effect.

Good morning Darian! Its no problem, just a little of the new bitcoin core fun! Lets angry birds this nyan cat into space brooks and give E.T. a visit! -rpcthreads=<n> Set the number of threads to service RPC calls (default: 4) Happy mining and pack some Reeses Pieces. -Dr. Kimoto Chan
