New mining teams?

[Menissalt]

So obviously I'm new here, I'm just curious if there is any benefit in being on a team or leading a team on Deepbit. I've seen some other sites give the leader extra for all the members they have, but so far I haven't really found much on the teams except that they exist and what my current "rank" is on the one I blindly joined.


For the hell of it I am running a 5970 at about 580Mhash/s and another computer getting about 38Mhash/s (sad, but temporary).

No, the mining teams don't make any difference on deepbit.

Side note, mining with deepbit degrades the security of the bitcoin network.  I urge you to try out p2pool.

Try not to pool at deepbit, giving too much power to one pool.
Try other pool and they have lower/no fees like abcpool.

Between big and medium pools I choose the last ones, with  their pros and cons.

You could probably push that 5970 a bit further. Are you over clocking your cards? My 5970 is getting ~ 760 with room to spare.

I have, but for some reason anytime I overclock it becomes unstable and freezes leading to me uninstalling/re-installing CCC and drivers. I have a feeling that it's because the card isn't overclocking on system boot, only when CCC is opened, so I'm going from the base clock and making a jump and the video card crashes.

I do have a bit of experience in oc/ing (my 3930k is running @ 4.65 with a top temp of 72c under stress, and that's with low end ram) and this one has me baffled, would love some help.

Also, sorry about the late reply and thank you for being so responsive. I'm begging to like the mining community, it's a fresh take from most I've encountered.

Also, Deafboy.. Your signature link seems broken.
