Ok, let's get back to the technical aspects of mining this coin.  I got my 7970 and 280x builds running stable anywhere from 150 khash to 160 khash, so from what I been reading I am pretty much topped out unless Wolf wants to release his private kernal.  Now I want to try to get some of my 270x boxes to work. Right now I can get them to around 60 khash on each card on Linux, which seems awfully low compared to the 280x builds. I have tried a Windows build and can get ~75 khash for awhile, but I cannot get them to run stable. I get a ton of ATI driver restart messages before it eventually just crashes the whole rig. I can get maybe a hour of run time, but at this point the build is too unreliable to trust. The 270 rig I have been playing with is Windows 7 Pro 64 bit on a 80 GB SSD, Intel CPU, Asus ZB7-A MB, and 4 Gig G Skill RAM. I have so far tried AMD driver versions 14.9 release, 14.9.1 Beta, 14.9.2 Beta, 14.6 beta, 14.7 RC3. I did have some stability with the 13.12 drivers, however I was back in the 55-60 khash ballpark with those no matter which clock speeds or settings I tried. Hoping someone out there has had better luck with the 270 series and would be willing to share a few tips. I will take suggestions for either Linux or Windows builds if I can get in the 80 khash+ range. I believe I read someone was getting 90+ khash out of their 270's somewhere, but I could find no details. The driver crashes are sometimes caused by a lack of system or pagefile memory. Set the pagefile to a MIN and MAX of at least 12gb and lets see what happens. If you really want to get fancy, create a partition for it or move it to another drive. Some apps/games will also benefit from this. Thanks for the idea, but no go. I even tossed in 8 GB RAM to test with and increased the page-file as you suggested to 12 GB, still crashed. The whole system was acting kind of finicky, so I am in the process of reinstalling everything, OS, Drivers, etc. from scratch, and I will see how it goes once that is done. |

Now I want to try to get some of my 270x boxes to work. Right now I can get them to around 60 khash on each card on Linux, ...
My average hashrate is 79,xx. Graphic card: 270x, AMD Catalyst 14.9, CGMiner 3.7.7c, 4 GB RAM + 4 GB Swap, CPU AMD E-350 2x1.6 GHz Antergos - Arch Linux 3.14.19-1-lts #1 SMP Thu Sep 18 20:21:04 CEST 2014 x86_64 GNU/Linux Parameters: --neoscrypt --intensity 12 --worksize 32 --gpu-threads 1 Additional, but that makes almost no difference: gpu-engine 1150, gpu-memclock 1500, auto-fan, temp-target 72 (more in winter  ; I get 80,xx Kh/s with the standard value of 75) |

Phoenixcoin PXC
UFO Coin
Imperial coin and one or two others have also moved to Neoscrypt with Phoenixcoin being the first one to make the switch.
I'm sure more will follow in the future.

Can someone post comparison to X11 in terms of power consumption please? Is it higher? Is it lower?

With x11 you may not be too successful with undervolting your gpus much. Since neoscrypt is a scrypt algo, you can undervolt substantially. When I leave my cards at x11 settings (full voltage) and then switch to neoscrypt, it pulls 13% more from the wall. However, if I undervolt my cards to a scrypt setting it is only about 7% more. Of course this depends on which gpus you have. I may be able to work my cards down even more with neoscrypt but I am content here. |

Thanks a lot for setting up a pool! Welcome. Pretty lonely right now, we are but still finding enough blocks to be comparable to more established pools, especially when considering the low number of miners to split the profits with. |

It will be very hard to compete with the hash from Coinotron and Trade My Bit. If you want smaller steady payouts, use those pools. If you don't mind getting a bigger payout far less often, smaller pools will do just fine, and spreading the hash is always good for the network.
