Cryptocoin Mining?

I'm making under $1 a day now with my MSI 7950 on LTC with the jump to 650 difficulty. BTC is about $0.80 a day. However two months in and i'm very close to having 2 BTC mined and in the UK I can sell my 7950 on ebay for £200 easy ($306). So i'm already on to a positive ROI and should hopefully...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Looks like the Yanks here are in the same situation as us Brits now? Nightmare trying to buy and sell BTC into local FIAT. Brit banks have been systematically shutting each new route getting money in/out of Mt.Gox Since March. Looks like you are the same as us now where the only route is...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Where will LTC price go in the near future? It needs to go up again as it's almost level now on priofit with BTC mining via GPU as it can't seem to break above 0.30 BTC. A month ago we where in the 0.20 -0.22 BTC range but pulling 2 LTC a day out on a single AMD 7950. Today we are at just...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Really? I switched a few days ago to Litecoinpool.org as I managed to get an account there after a 3 week wait. Give-me-ltc seems to be having constant server / ddos issues in may but then they are often up to 25% of the LTC network hashrate. M

Cryptocoin Mining?

I have mentioned before my 7950 rig is an adapted 2008 HTPC rig that is just for mining 24/7. You are right. desktop is barely useable at 625k/h. But I often go 48hrs without touching it at all. I have a seperate Q6600 + nvidia 560ti rig for gaming general use. One of the advantages of being...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Well Feathercoin mining lasted a whole day and a half for me! Woke up and the difficulty has shot up to 188 from 122 meaning in 13 coins a day now rather than 20 and the price has tanked form $0.45 to $0.20. More profitable to mine LTC again so back I go. Now what to do with my 30 FC? lol. M

As mentioned above, I found you need system memory to match GPU memory GB for GB. Also are you using catalyst 13.3 beta drivers or newer? I jumped at least 60-70 k/hash moving from 12.8 to 13.3 beta. M

These are my MSI R7950 settings. You can see I was running live mining Feathercoin (scrypt) @ 629 k/hash when i took the screenshot. M

Cryptocoin Mining?

Read my detailed post on setting up a 7950 with GUIminer scrypt on page 180 of this thread. 550 -630 k/h should be easily available for scrypt with the right settings, drivers and amount of system memory. However to get above 600k/h you probably need the "boost" edition higher spped 7950's...

You need more system memory. About 2-3GB per card, min of 4GB. I could not get my one 7950 over 400k/h on 2GB no matter what afterburner settings I tried. Upped it to 4 GB and bang............was able to use GUIminer default 7950 (High) settings tab straight off an 625-630 k/hash. Then it was...

Cryptocoin Mining?

No, market cap is still well over $1 billion. figures are posted on bitcoin watch. www.bitcoinwatch.com. Also, something really interesting is happening in LTC. Due to many jumping ship to more profitable Feathercoin since it became tradeable on BTC-e on 2nd May, Litecoin difficulty is now...

Cryptocoin Mining?

Agreed. Three points. 1) 300m/h is nothing, for less than 3 BTC I have 5G/hash coming in the next few months from BFL. 2) With a GPU I can mine SH256 and scrypt cryptocoins. 3) I've been watching second hand prices on all 7950 cards on Ebay.co.uk for three weeks now. You can't buy one...

Yeah tried featherpool.com first and it was just rubbish but the admin is away for a break until 8/5/13 so maybe some is up with the server and no-one to fix it. Stratum there would not even start for me, non statum had 40% stales. The new pool i'm on (the biggest FC one) works as you...
