Re: [YAC] Illustrated, step-by-step guide to starting your own AWS YAC server farm!
Thanks for both the guide and the minerd command sequence! 
Interestingly, the hashrate appears to fluctuate quite a bit - when viewed directly, all instances report a very solid ~730 Kh/s, and when I went to bed 9 hours ago, the pool consistently reported around this figure for all instances. Then after 11 hours of runtime, the estimated average hashrate seems to have dropped down to about 330, or slightly less than half. So that's interesting, but still a pretty fun experiment!

Re: CHNCoin difficulty going to 155 in 1 day and 10 hours!!!!
Sure moving fast, didn't it say 4 days just moments ago? lol
I'm wondering how much of the 75% payout reduction could be compensated for by value increases. On bter.com, CNC seems stabilized at 0.0026 BTC now, with a history of fluctuating briefly to almost .004 yesterday. Wasn't there talk of it possibly reaching .01, if a larger number of sites accept it?
I must say I love your site. The calc is also good.
Profitablity will go down ....eh.... 4000% ? Good thing I have my miner set up just perfect for the next 34 hours.
Envy, haha! For some reason, I can't get any settings to perform decently (when pooling) anymore. Even though everything was fine the first 24 hours.

Well, as you can see from my site (http://cnc.strament.com/)
The difficulty will rise to 155 in 1 day and 10 hours. Who thinks this is way too high? Hell, its goiong over feathercoin!

I spent the last 24hrs mining at
http://chn.mnlan.net/
and
http://chn.ub3rl33t.com/
I am showing 0 coins and 2 coins respectively while having 2.2 Mhash/s rate. Never had so much trouble with any other pool. If the owners are lurking please review my account - dirtriderdan
I am not wasting any more time mining at either of the above until they get this fixed.

Tried both of those as well, and had a similar kind of unexpectedly low earnings. I had the owner of MNLan look at his database, and he claimed a ~75% logged stale rate (where CGMiner had reported much less, around 15%, but the earnings were more akin to his figure.)
So I'm basically playing around with stale rate reduction atm - some stale shares are apparently not detected locally. Currently trying to lower -E (expiry) to half/quarter of the default 120, should allegedly help.
Re: [ANN][CHNcoin][CNC][PPLNS Pool] **Stratum** chn.mnlan.net
Hi, first of all thanks for setting up the pool, I appear to have run into a small issue; I mined for about 5-6 hours today, however when I checked back just now, there was only 1.247 CNC accumulated (my average hashrate was ~370 Kh/s). From what I calculate, this appears much smaller than it should be - I would appreciate your help on this.

Too many people join the pool and quit after a short time because they don't think they are getting what they are "suppose" to be getting. Take a look at the bigger picture. @ 370Kh, you should see ~ 150 coins per day. The pool, on average hits a block every 4 minutes. With 1440 minutes in a day, that would mean the pool should hit 360 blocks per day considering the difficulty does not change or the pool does not have an outage of some sort. Once you were running at speed for a a while you were consistently getting .13 per block.
So, 360 blocks x .13 = 43.2 So, looking at that most people would would instantly jump to the conclusion that the pool operator must be ripping you off. Well, the server shows you have 171% stales. That's right, 171.23%! So, roughly, you are loosing out on 2/3 of your coins per day. The last 1/3 is what you see in your account. An estimated 150 per day with that high of a stale rate only nets you 49.5 coins. Then subtract the pools 1% fee and your at 49 coins per day. On top all that, the pool may have some bad luck and not hit 360 blocks.
Wow. Well, that is certainly a lot of stales - much more than reported by CGMiner. Guess something needs fixing there, then. Thanks for checking the database for me

I was in the OS choice situation myself some time ago, and I ended up simply picking Windows 7, after seeing that a reasonable amout of high scores on the hardware/config list were done on Windows 7 machines.
If you have a spare USB stick lying around, BAMT Linux is sweet as well. It's super fast to set up, and the command line work is really not that difficult.
The only reason I chose Windows 7 over BAMT was comfort. I simply have more experience with Windows software than Linux software.

I'm wondering if BTC will bounce a bit upwards again. Read about the fall being partially proportional to the gaining popularity of LTC and its alts, which I guess makes sense, but I can't help but wonder about the BTC buying opportunity.
Im mining with 4 X 7850 / 2 x 7770 / 2x 7950
Makes about 3000 KHashs consuming 1,5 KW/h :-D
Im payinf 0,28 $ per Kw/h, so at the moment its really worth the effort.

What types of chassis do you use for those machines (and perhaps in particular, the quad-GPU one)?
I have a well-ventilated SFF case for my single-GPU system, but I guess I'll have to use milk crates or something when it reaches 4..
Granted, CPU mining Litecoins is more viable than CPU mining Bitcoins (https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison), but as the others are saying, GPUs give a much better hash/watts ratio.
Wow, I really envy you guys who found some free power! In Denmark, the kWh rate is about 0.36 USD, so it's pretty expensive to mine over here, haha.
I turned out to have a Radeon 5850/Core i5-750 SFF PC lying around, so that's been setup for mining. Definitely going to upgrade this though: removing the (albeit well cooled) SFF case, and buying more GPU's. (Too bad those PCI-E riser cables seem so.. rare?)
There seems to be a lot of hype around the Radeon 7950, but man, that card is just insanely expensive. Over here, a used 5850 is around 1/4th the price - and maybe I'm just lucky, but they seem rather easy to get hold of as well.
