Cryptocoin Mining?

[wowsza]

I only trade small amounts of DOGE (10K - 100K) and have never had issues. I did have a couple 1MIL+ transactions, but I sent a test like 100 or 1000(whatever the minimum is) first. Conduct it immediately and don't let it sit. You've got to think ahead and protect yourself at all times. All people and organizations that are out there are GOING to try to fu*k you.

Sh!t, sanctioned national banks take your money on the most ridiculous basis. Why trust a place like Cryptsy? I've been using BTER and have never had an issue. Also, VERY fast transactions. Let me recommend them.

how does the dogecoin volume at BTER compare to cryptsy?

Relax guys. If the voltages were really that bad, the PC wouldn't function. At all. All readings are way off, so it must be a software problem. There must be an issue with HWMonitor and that mobo's chipset, so try another monitoring problem and see if it gets them right. Try HWInfo or see if Gigabyte has a monitoring program specifically for that mobo. Also, this is why I said multimeters are more reliable.

True. His PC is firing up, which means that certain parts are indeed getting a functional voltage. But if he requires lower guage cables to not have his cord melt, that means power draw from the mains is high enough to melt a higher gauge cord, yet not enough to trip the house circuit breaker.

Hwmonitor isn't the only program that can read sensor data. If another program that can access the same sensors, then it could be the sensors or there is some hardware fault.

Software might not be particularly accurate, but if the sensors are going bonkers like this, something is not right. Different PSUs can result in different values on the same rig, but not to such a huge extent out of spec.

I'll go with Unhooked's latter comment. My first thought after replacing everything so thoroughly. I work tech support, so sometimes when you see really WEIRD behavior and your first thought is mobo right off the bat. Though I've seen network issues being caused by a single CPU on a dual CPU system.

F7@k.... I guess my point is that motherboard tend to be the problem... that sh!t doesn't make any sense. THESE PEICES OF SH!T ARE RANDOM AS F^%K. @*)%y(@tnbg(b(b#g(#bg#b(#gb(g#g#hgh#)ht FML

sorry half drunk at this point .....

I did say that the mobo is likely the problem a post after the one you quoted. Two different PSUs, same problem seems too much of a coincedence to blame on the PSU.

ltc is just no longer profitable, much better to mine other coins and exchange for btc.
I think VTC will replace LTC eventually.

I'm out of LTC and don't think the prospects look very good for it long term, but I don't think Vert will replace it. For one, VTC isn't the first ASIC resistant coin, there are many others that I'd bet will shoot up before VTC gets anywhere near LTC's market cap.

The upcoming MaxCoin is ASIC resistant as well and will take a lot of attention away from VTC imo. Ive seen people dimiss it as a quick pump and dump which it may very well be but when Kesier hyped up Quark it rose like 20x, he has a lot of followers it seems...

 

[pandemonium]

Speaking of problems with Cryptsy...seems that it's down?

Anyone else getting 502 bad gateway errors?

Edit: Nevermind, it's back.

Edit again: FFS, down again.

Seasonic (and corsair - who tends to grab a lot of their PSU's from seasonic and rebrand them).

AFAIK, Corsair have been cost cutting so much that atm they only have one model left which is Seasonic. Anyway, Realhardtechx.com maintain a PSU and PSU review database:

Here's the Corsair page:
http://www.realhardtechx.com/index_archivos/Page447.htm

Seems I was wrong as Corsair have 3 Seasonic-made supplies which aren't discontinued: the HX650, AX760 and AX860.

In the UK, XFX are generally the best value supplies which are made by Seasonic.

I don't have money backing my thinking here but I think LTC will recover. It was the standard alternative coin to BTC and that has changed with the recent tsunami of alt coins. Once the alt coins fizzle out LTC can recover, but as it sits now the increasing mining hash for scrypt has shifted away from LTC.

If you build it (Pool servers), they will come...



Said no one ever.

I'd would mine with you on VTC but a co worker set up a P2Pool for it. Maybe if you set DOGE up?

No real point in setting up a doge server when you're competing with 15180257013257103257 other pools, some of which have 15 gigahash/s or more worth of pool hashrate. Odds are you'd never find a block.

What services have you guys used to "cash out" your BTC? I'd like to cash out some of my BTC to pay off one of my video cards that I purchased, but I haven't actually gone through this part just yet... Any recommendations?


I honestly wouldn't even mind if it was converted to something like gift cards, like Amazon, Costco, a grocery store etc.

 

[wand3r3r]

Karmacoin has taken off pretty quick for another random altcoin.

The difficulty is currently 48, 3.5GHash total I believe.

In the thread it said #7 in hashrate, #20 in trading I believe. It's only 2 days old so who knows if it will last or go anywhere, it's (only) on one "new" exchange already.

Coinbase.

Klok sorry I was not on earlier. But, can you be more specific about a couple things?

You say there is heat being generated in the cables between the PSU and the video card. What are those cables? Are they the dedicated 6-pin and/or 8-pin PCIe cables coming right out of the PSU? Or are you using a PCIe adapter and a standard 4-pin molex connector from the PSU?

Overall, it sounds like you are saying that the only hot/warm wires coming out of the PSU are between the PCIe auxilliary power port(s) of the graphics card(s) and the PSU. And also that the main power cord between the PSU and the wall can get hot enough to melt?

How many graphics cards do you have, and are all of them having warm wires? All of them use PCIe power adapters, none of them? Do you have a multimeter or kill-a-watt meter?

Just saying that warm wires screams short circuit. Voltage drooping to the huge extent you have screams short circuit. It could be something silly like a metal piece fell onto the graphics card and shorted across some of the solder bumps etc., or a stray fan wire, or even a juicy bug that sacrificed himself.

Is it really that good of a coin? I saw it before the release but I didn't bother with it because I thought it would get nowhere. Rewarding people for good behaviour..

http://vert.poolminewith.us is up and running, should be able to hit it as soon as it propagates to your DNS server.

Tried using it, but keep getting errors saying "no servers could be used"

My bad. Once again I forgot to refresh the firewall when I added the stratum port. It should be good now.

/facepalm

I have no idea about the long term prospects. I'm shocked it's as popular as it is. I'll give it a bit of time and sit on it and just see but it seems like many of these coins peak early on or else sit dormant and suddenly peak randomly and crash. It's such a guessing game.

I had just been sitting tight on dogecoin slow and steady off and on but hopped off it lately to try the newer coins for a bit and see if any take off. There are a ton of announcements so it's like a roll of the dice in the end. I actually have long term hope for dogecoin but I'm not sure that the 5 billion/year permanent coin will be positive. It's hard to say but it certainly has a strong and dedicated following so it's high on the list for potential.

Why is that?:

and how to fix it?

Are you using the right miner options?

 

[Erenhardt]

I was mining for a day or two on the other pool and it was ok. Now tried switching to yours and this happened.

Tried using no cgminer settings at all - did nothing

Not a single share goes though. 100% rejected

Vertcoin right?

 

[Erenhardt]

Vertcoin right?

Yes.

 

[Virge_]

Yes.

Add --scrypt

Thanks, giving it a try
