I started to mine the second the wallet came online with 2.2mh , found 5 blocks between 1:19 and 1:35AM then i swapped to OGC launch.
Boot my wallet today and 4 blocks have vanished and only 1 got confirmed ?
Were the other 4 orphans or ?

There were some issues with the launch, so that's not too surprising. Most of us lost out on quite a few blocks.

How do people get more than 1 mhash? What kind of rig are you guys using.

All it would take is a dual-GPU system with a couple of AMD GPUs. A couple of 7950's or higher could pull 1MH/s or higher. Or a single 7990 or possibly an overclocked 290x.

You also don't need to use SLi/Crossfire for mining, so you can get away with mixing up the cards (for instance a 7870 and a 7970). In fact it's probably better to not use it and run them separately.

I'm tempted to buy a 280x when I eventually make enough money out of all of this.. except there's a stock shortage on AMD cards at the moment and even a 280x would only give me a 2.5x increase from my 670 or so (to around 800KH/s or so), which still isn't that useful outside of the first day or two of a new coin's launch.

I guess I could hit around 1MH/s with the two cards, assuming you can mix and match AMD/Nvidia cards for mining (I assume so). But eh..
