Cryptocoin Mining?

[arkcom]

I can't find anywhere trading cinnamoncoin. The difficulty is currently 27, which is only 47 coins a day at 1 mh/s.

I have been using wemineltc.com for a little over a week now. They seem pretty legit, have no donation requirement (aka pool fee), and they have helpful chat and forums.

I'm going on nearly 4 days straight, 3 days with 1 7970 then moved to 2 24 hours ago. I'm currently at less than .5 ltc. Absolutely pathetic. I'm in the ball park of 1200 k/h. Am I being scammed by this pool?

Whenever I have my 290x mining, my hash rates for the 7950 go down. Any idea what would cause this?

you got a lot of stales?

cos 1200 kh should yield ~0.5 coins a day. I use that same pool and its spot on, no funny issues. Also getting only 0.3% stales (other pools range from 1-2%).

Sounds like it. Think you should earn a little over 1 every two days with that setup.

Edit: maybe you have a lot of errors. What foes your HW say ?

I've been using wemineltc for a long time now and I haven't had any problems.

I am getting ~2% stales though...not sure why. Maybe my difficulty settings are off.

What difficulty settings do you use anyway?

My Vapor-X is 3GB, not 6GB, but I was using the original Vapor-X BIOS when I was getting in the 500's khs. Here is the link to TECHPOWERUP's Sapphire 7970 BIOS collection. It does show 2 other 7970 BIOS's with 6GB memory.

When I was researching, I was specifically looking for info regarding the Vapor-X 3GB and not 6GB. Plus the fact that others had tried the Dual-X BIOS on a Vapor-X made me a little more confident I wouldn't have a brick on my hands. Kind of a "buyer beware" situation with those other BIOS's.

Our vapor x has dual bios right? So if a flash goes bad, I could just flip a switch and be back in business?

Are you getting any hw errors? My buddy had only like 0.09 ltc after a whole day of mining, I think it turned out some of the cgminer settings were incorrect.

Edit: quoted wrong post, above is directed at lava

Heh... Kinda reminds me of BBQcoin. In theory, you could make $20 a day mining it on a low end AMD video card. That said, I wish you luck finding a reliable mining pool for it, or finding someone willing to buy the coins for a decent price after you have a stack of them minted.

Less than a half percent stales. No errors. How could things be configured incorrectly yet i still turn profit albeit at a terrible rate?

What hash rate is the pool reporting?

I don't remember what he set it up as initially, but at first the flags were getting him less than 500 khs on a new R9-290 (and verrrry slow increase of LTC - maybe due to hw errors or rejects), after tweaking he's now doing about 820 khs with no errors.

If you're doing 1200 khs, with difficulty at 2218 you should be getting about 0.56 LTC per day assuming you mine 24/7.

820 kh/s for a 290 is good, that's where I am at.

But 500 for my 7970 6GB is pitiful!

Time to flash the BIOS...

lava, have you tried cgminer 3.7.2? It'll give you a small % increase in performance over guiminer, plus it'll help you troubleshoot to see if your issue has to do with your miner settings or the pool. I also use CGWatcher alongside cgminer.

I'm getting 580 and it's so frustrating. Mine is a powercolor with amd reference cooler. Wish I could flash mine but I don't see an option.

 

[Silverforce11]

lava, switch to WeMineLTC.com, I don't know that pool you're with but that hash rate and after 4 days u get 0.5 coin is ridiculous.

What settings are you using with your 7970? Here are some ideas: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=191912.0

There was some info on flashing BIOS a page back. Not sure if this will help though as it's for Sapphire Vapor-X:

Snipping tool. Learn it. Use it. Love it.

Have you checked your wallet? The pool I'm using was defaulted to deposit into my wallet whenever it reached 1 coin.

Try cgminer 3.7.2 and the latest AMD 13.11 betas

Xpage, you have to start up cgminer through a bat file. Post one if you have it, if not, I suggest looking it up.
