Cryptocoin Mining?

[IEC]

Is 420MH/s normal for Maxcoin mining with a R9 290? And 350MH/s normal for a 280X?

I ask because keccak mining seems to have my GPUs running about 12C cooler than normal... none of them are breaking 68C which makes me think they're not running at optimal settings... but if they are then all the better, less power usage

 

[wand3r3r]

Great. I got a wallet set up on DogeVault and linked it to my DogeHouse account. I guess now I'll just build up some doge and figure out what to do with it once I have it. With how much it makes my PC chug, seems like I'll be using my laptop a lot more for browsing when my desktop is busy mining.

Do not store coins in an online wallet.

 

[T_Yamamoto]

I won't be selling Doge until it's over 9000.

I won't sell till we're on the Moon

 

[holden j caufield]

Sold double that and had same feeling, couldn't stay awake.

where is it at 220?

 

[Virge_]

Is it possible to consolidate multiple miners MGPUMon outputs to one location? I can't seem to find anything for a standalone that can aggregate..

No its not.
Its 380-400 MH/s for stock 290; 450 MH/s @1100MHz

That's because VRAM barely gets used, and it stays at 150 MHz while crunching

Hey all!
I have never mined but I have a few AMD cards sitting around, I want to get started and make some coin back on my cards.
Can anyone guide me, I have five 5770's plus a board that can run them all. I'm a total noob on this subject.............HELP!

Thanks for all the help!

Sold 200k DOGE at 190 satoshi... Now it's at 220 satoshi. I'm a sad panda.

I'm holding it til it hits around 300 satoshi, I have a feeling it will get there as soon as the bobsled Sochi action is covered on global TV. Too much feel good karma out there for Doge.

 

[f1sherman]

Block reward halving might do it.
I doubt DOGE trending upward is Sochi connected. More like end of Chinese New Year and BTC uncertainty.

 

[Silverforce11]

BTC is falling like a brick.. Doge is going up.

I dont think the Chinese have any impact, they have spent up all their "street creds" with the earlier drop where BTC fell to 400.

Yes, block reward due to 1/2 soon is a major driver. Makes me wanna buy a heap of Doge eventhough its 200+ hehe

[redacted] Bitcoin hit $102 on BTC-e overnight on GOX news?

Ugh, at least if this market crashes to nothing, I will get out at break even considering all hardware costs. But damnit that wasn't the point! But really, GOX needs to die. For the sake of crypto, GOX just needs to die.

Profanity isn't allowed in the technical forums.

^ fully agree. It's time for someone new to come in and do it better than Gox (not hard with its terrible platform).

someone sold a lot of btc at 70 usd he missed a decimal point.

BTC-e allows for that error to be made. thus all btc was dragged to 102 usd. you should never trade on BTC-e most other exchanges will catch that error and stop it.

it has bounced back to 669

Any efficiency guru/aficionados here that can speak to the 270/280x/290/290x considerations for hash density per rig vs hash/watt ratio's when a sweet spot volt/core/mem/config is used? Or any numbers of draw at the wall vs the quick and dirty setups running?

I've got a few systems and so far the best up front price for hash/efficiency is the R9 270, but it isn't a great solution because the hash density per rig is much lower than if you upgrade the GPU to a 280x or 290 series. This was built when the 270 was $180, so now at the damn price of 210+ it's not as alluring.

Rig #1
4x270
1x7850

270's undervolted to 0.975 and running 975/1200 to yeild 410kh/s
TC- 15232, I-19 Run at temps of <70c on risers
7850 undervolted to 1.000v and running 975/1200 to yeild 335kh/s
TC-8192, I-18 temp <70c
Run on a Platinum 760w psu the rig draws at the wall 625w.
i5 2500k undervolted with -0.675 offset and run stock clocks.
Run off USB, no hard drives, and 4 mobo driven fans.

Rig #2
3x280x
Undervolted to 1.013 (asus DCII),1.044(asus DCII),1.116 (msi limitation on newer 280x boards)
Run at 1020/1500 to yeild 710kh/s
TC-8192, I-13, g-2
Run on 850gold PSU that draws 720w at the wall. If I could better undervolt the MSI 280x I expect to shave 30-40w
1 HDD, and 2 fans run off mobo.

I'm getting good info on hash rates of the 290's, but everything I'm seeing indicates they are more power hungry than the 280x after both are undervolted to stable speeds with decent hash rates. Really pushing the 280x for efficiency can get close to a 4-1 ratio for kh/w if using 854c/799m and 894mv. That gets 580kh/s with hynix mem and draws ~155-170watts. But here your paying a lot per gpu for marginal hash return. Someone else posted here that they use 925c/1000c and get 650kh/s with volts 0.950-1.000. That might be the best trade off.

Can anyone confirm over 3-1 kh/w for 290 or 290x setups and speak to the improvements of undervolting with these cards. I'm trying to see if anything in the 290 lineup has an ability to be tuned to via undervolting to <250watts while delivering ~900kh/s.

I'm thinking the same. Only ~3 days till 0-500,000 per block.

I don't feel like gambling, but holding BTC is a gamble itself.

I have tried for two days to compile: https://github.com/Max-Coin/cgminer and haven't had much luck. Are there any pre-built binaries I can download? I'm running Ubuntu 12.10.

I compiled it fine on a VM and moved it to the exact same environment on one of my mining rigs and I get "libudev.so.1: no version information available" when I go to run it. So I don't know what I am doing wrong.

More efficient that CGMiner. I'm getting extra 10Kh/s with the Zuikkis kernel. Some are reporting less though.

Also I just came across this.

Ayup, it's going to be quite interesting to see what happens to the entire altcoin market once the doge block reward halves. If doge price doubles then everything will continue status quo, whereas on the other extreme if the price stays constant then it's pretty much a given that close to half of the current doge network hashrate is going to go elsewhere... which could easily drag down profitability across the board when you consider that half the current doge network hashrate is around 50 GH/second. (The LTC network is 'only' at 75 GH/second currently for comparison.)

Anyway, that's why I'm definitely hoping that doge price will adjust to compensate.

And this will mine Maxcoin without a recompile?

 

[playah]

I won't be selling Doge until it's over 9000.

Already thinking I should try to buy back in once BTC corrects just before the half.

 

[Attic]

Well don't tell GPU prices about the BTC crash.

Higher than they've ever been, and substantially so.

Newegg must thinks folks are crazy, bam 280x's >$500, 270x $300. lol wow.

 

[Piotrsama]

Hopefully people stop buying from them, and prices go back to normal.

 

[thilanliyan]

Yeah the newegg prices are ridiculous. Not all retailers are doing that.

Someone placed a market order and sold at whatever was the highest price they could get, seems they had enough BTC to wipe out almost the entire orderbook so it went down to $102.

Dunno how you could be so stupid. Well whoever got the coins made 6x profit in a day.

 

[Z15CAM]

The ridiculous +170% MSRP markup NewEgg.CA graphic card prices are the lowest of any retailer in Canada. Amazon is a joke in Canada. @*&$ NAFTA.
