[ANN] [SHA256]+[CPU] MediterraneanCoin (MED) - REUSE your ERUPTER!!

[shpion]

Site looks nice so far but I would change the wording of this sentence:
WHAT DO OF YOU, OLD USB ERUPTERS
      to
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR OLD USB ERUPTERS?

actually that was intentional,  we are trying to make it a little funny

hi all,
remember that the bonus service for transactions greater than 10 MED is still active, please provide feedback on it!! 
many thanx!!! 

also, the faucet payout has been reduced in the range 0.1 to 0.3

First time miner here and I have a few questions.  I am using the ibipot pool and the bfgminer download from their site.  When I use the --set-device antminer:clock=x0981 line at the end of my .bat file the antminers still run around 1.6 gh/s.  Any suggestions?

Is it normal for an antminer to max out at about 1 gh/s on an old 2ghz sempron?

One more, is it normal for the hash rate to fluctuate a lot on the dashboard, both above and below what my computers say Im hashing at?

Thanks!

My main computer is running the antminer Im trying to overclock and it should be more than capable. Its averaging 40% CPU usage running the antminer and a block erupter which are both in a powered hub.

Ok, I have a separate instance of bfgminer for each miner running now which appeared to work better for a while even though they never reached overclock speeds btu there are less rejects.  They start up and run at the stock speeds for at least an hour, then the two antminers slowly lose speed settling at 1.38 gh/s amd 1.50 gh/s while the block erupter stays at 313 mh/s.  CPU spikes to 100% occasionally but is usually between 35-80%.  I have a fan on them and they are not hot to the touch.  I bought them used, could they be damaged?

No they're probably fine. The modified BFGminer isn't multi threaded so it can only use one cpu core. What kind of cpu do you have?

[Costanza1]

AMD Phenom II x4 810 2.60GHz

No matter what I set the clock speed to they don't go much past 1.6Gh/s

what hash rate you can get now?

0.7-1G is normal

yes we need fresh power

hi all,
here is an update on the next steps:

1 - we are completing the new version on the web site, we would like to be online in 2-3 days.
2 - as soon the new web site is ready, we will increase ten-fold the adwords campaign
(step 1 and 2 go together)

3 - next week we will launch the first ecommerce site, using only MED

4 - we are going to start a media campaign for MED in order to get MED stories on websites like Coindesk etc (this activity requires step 1 to be completed)

5 - get on more exchanges (please continue to vote on https://www.cryptsy.com/coinvotes !!)

6 - launch the MED forums (part of the main web site)

also: we are buying several ASICs to increase MED hashrate

ongoing are several other projects... will report on these as we proceed.

in my opinion that just looks like it's cpu mineable

sha256+scrypt=MediterraneanCoin New hybrid algorithm

yes, that has to be explained very clearly, we are trying to do that in the new website.

what hash rate you can get now?

0.7-1G is normal

Im getting 3.3-3.6 total.

Even if I only start one antminer I can't get them overclocked though.

wow.thats amazing!  And you also can get this rate showing in ibitpot???

what kind of program are you using now?

BFG3?

bfgminer 3.10.0 from ibipot's getting started page

edit: I am running a separate intsance of bfgm for each miner

Why you run separate? I have all them running together, works fine.. under MacOSX
