Re: CGWatcher 1.3.3, the GUI/monitor for CGMiner and BFGMiner to prevent downtime
Some suggestions:
1. Instead of emailing from your server, how about sending email through the user's server?
2. You already allow switching of coins based on profitability, could you add the ability to switch to the next profitable coin if no results are being generated or if there is some other problem preventing money from being made on a given coin? Sort of like coin failover?
3. Ability to disable a profile so it is not mined on, even if it is most profitable.
Thanks,
tejsei

Hi,
7950 crashes within 1-4hrs when on PCIE 1X slot, showing DEAD in cgminer. Cards will run for days when all are in PCIE16X slots with PCIE16X-16X risers (unpowered). When I plug any of the cards into a PCIE1X slot they will load and has successfully but then crash and show DEAD in CGMINER within 1-4 hours. I have tried both powered 1X risers from Cablesaurus, one I modified myself to be powered, and unpowered. Tried AMD drivers 12.8 which crashed worse, and 13.4 which wasnt worse but didnt fix it either. Stock clocking is 925MHz GPU clock, 1250MHz Mem clock, 1.250V and they will at this stock voltage. I typically run at 1050/1650/1.075 and they crash at this setting too.

Re: Akbash 1.0.7 - bfgminer/cgminer watchdog (H/W monitoring, emails, HTTP)
Interested in using this on my LTC miner, looks very promising.
Wondering if the kH/s vs. MH/s issue is a problem with LTC.
For example, you monitor MH/s and restart if it is below a given threshold with:
"miner-gpu-avg-rate-threshold" : "450",
My 7950 hashes between 500-650 kH/s so a setting of 450 kH/s as a threshold might work, so would I set the value to:
"miner-gpu-avg-rate-threshold" : "0.450",
Any other adjustments needed for scrypt mining?

Re: Husband does not want me to Day Trade BTC but it works well for some, right?
What about running simulated trades for a day, a week, a month?
It's pretty common advice for anyone entering trading to work on a demo account for a few months before moving to live trading. There are real differences in psychology between a simulated trade and a live trade, but practicing your analysis and evaluating the quality of your decisions with 0 risk seems like a no-brainer.
Here is an article on setting up a forex trading journal: http://www.learntotradethemarket.com/forex-trading-tools/a-forex-trading-journal-to-track-your-trading-performance
Hope this helps. This is a great conversation.

Re: CGMINER ASIC FPGA GPU overc monit fanspd RPC linux/win/osx/mip/r-pi 3.1.0
Quick simple questions, had a search but couln't find the answer.
I've got 2 discrete GPUs and onboard graphics. When I mine I run the 2 discretes and use the onboard for desktop management.
So, once I start up CGminer I immediately press "G" gpu management, then "D" disable thread, then I choose "2" for the onboard graphics.
How can I write this into a scrypt to use in my startup .BAT file so I don't have to manually do it each time?

it's in the README, use the "--disable-gpu 2" switch or use "--device 0,1" to enable the devices you do want.
From the README:
--device|-d Select device to use, (Use repeat -d for multiple devices, default: all)
--disable-gpu|-G Disable GPU mining even if suitable devices exist
Re: BAMT version 0.5 - Easy USB based mining Linux with farm wide management tools
Hi,
Running phillips' 79XX build and getting "X Server Failed to Load".
I am running the following system:
motherboard: msi Z68MA-ED55 (B3)
processor: G530
ram: 2x4GB DDR3
cards: 2 sapphire 7950s
I can boot the BAMT stick just fine on my laptop but on the miner it won't load. The miner works with Windows 7. I have resistors in the graphics cards and have the monitor hooked up to the onboard video, which is where I'm seeing the message partway through the boot process.
Thanks,

Disable the onboard video and use one of the cards. Bamt doesn't like onboard.
Will try it, thanks!
For those speculating in the market, what trading platform or tools are you actually using?
Goxtool (linux)
Sierra Chart (trading not yet released)
Exchange website (Mt. Gox, BTC-E, etc.)
Other software (?)
I'm new to trading bitcoin but have some experience with stocks and forex, and at first glance the Mt. Gox and BTC-E's platforms appear very primitive to what you would get on even basic services like E-Trade or Oanda. Wondering what people are actually using to execute their trades?

Re: Consolidated Litecoin Mining Guide for 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx GPUs
Looking for help to improve kH/s/W.
Here's my setup:
MSI Z68MA-ED55 (B3) motherboard
Intel G530 processor
4GB DDR3 1066 RAM
7950 Sapphire 100352-2L (purchased March 2013, voltage unlocked!)
16X-16X riser cable
Corsair TX750W power supply
AMD 13.1 drivers
AMD SDK 2.8
cgminer 2.11.3 (-I 20, --tc 22400 -w 256 -g 1 -l 1)
Sapphire Trixx
Best settings: 925/1250/.962V 560kH/s 3.29 kH/s/W.
Given high electricity cost my goal is to maximize kH/s/W.
My current best setup is 925/1250 at 0.962V for 560 kH/s at 170W or 3.29 kH/s/W, after many hours of systematically mapping gpu clock (850-1250), memclock (1250-1750), and gpu v (0.900-1.250). I've had the rig up to 740 kH/s stable (1225/1750/1.250V) but at 345W or 2.14 kH/s/W the efficiency just isn't there (would be great for a free power situation!).
Looking for advice from the experts on what to do next to improve my efficiency.
Thanks,
Tejsei

Wow, that's an absolutely fantastic efficiency! I saw a tiny improvement (~ 5 Kh/s) changing the thread concurrency from 22400 to 16384. See if that helps you at all.
I just ran those settings excellent!! Anybody know what to tweak to get it up to maybe 620kh without upping the voltage to an extremely high level? I messed around with everything I can't seem to go any higher.
Try 1050/1650/1.075 I'm seeing 640 kH/s at 235 W per card or 2.72 kH/J.
Even though this is less energy efficient, it is still more profitable given the ratio of electricity expense to litecoin value.
In case it helps anyone else, here is how I have it figured out in a spreadsheet:
=(hashrate*mining100USD/100)-(powerInW*electricityExpenseInUSD/kWh*24/1000)
mining100USD is the USD earned by mining 24h with 100 kH/s. To get this number, look up dustcoin.com/mining and enter "100" in the scrypt hashrate field, then in the Revenue field it will tell you how many coins/day earned. This is mining100LTC. Convert this to mining100USD by multiplying by the LTCUSD conversion rate, such as $2.5/LTC.
So here's an example:
Profitability = (640 kH/s * 1.108 USD/100kH/s/d / 100) - (235W * 0.10 $/kWh * 24h / 1000W/kW) = $7.09 - $0.56 = $6.52
Using this you can compare different hashrate/power setups and see which is more profitable, taking into account your electricity expense.
Hope this helps.

Re: Consolidated Litecoin Mining Guide for 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx GPUs
already ordered the 7970=P
Still have 2x pci-e16 slots over, so might go for those in the future.
Btw, are ALL of those cards voltage locked? Or just the newer editions? And what temperature are your cards at when mining?
Even if i manage to burn it out after a while, 2 year waranty should help, no?
the newer revision of the gigabyte card is voltage locked.
i dont believe that the sapphire dual-x cards are locked
I got a Sapphire Dual-X 7950 (100352-2L) recently and it is voltage unlocked, 68C at 620 kH/s. Also got a 100352-4L, which is reference design, also unlocked, but runs much hotter 76-82C for the same 620 kH/s.
Re: Dual 7950s GPU0 idling HOT, GPU1 below average, quick troubleshooting direction?
I hooked up monitors to both cards and the issue is fixed. So I will just need the dummy VGA adapters. Now I can move to optimizing the settings for higher performance.
Thanks for the replies!
Thanks for the replies!
Who needs a $15 dummy plug? I used a $0.01 100 Ohm resistor: http://blog.zorinaq.com/?e=11
So I bought a Steplight Power Meter to monitor the power being drawn from the wall. This result is only with 1 x 7970 card. Haven't bought additional 3 yet, Monday...
I worked out from our last Energy Australia bill that I pay an average rate of 27 cents / kWh.
Data -
Total Time Running: 1728mins
Total Watts Used: 5227W
Average Cost / kWh: $0.27
Average Hash Rate: 520MHs
Calculator Estimates - from http://blockchained.com/profit/index.php?hashrate=520&cost=1&electricity=0.27&power=181&months=1.0000&decline=0.63&blockcoins=0
At the current Difficulty of 4367876, currently paying 25BTC / Block and current BTC value is at AUD$43.43, the calculator estimate I should get back (excludes capital cost):
After 1 month: AUD$40.94 (or approx. 1BTC)
After 1 week: AUD$10 (approx. 0.25BTC)
Results so far -
After only 6 days and nights of mining with, several hours of down time (server upgrades and my own mucking around), lets say a week for simplicity, I have:
Pending Payout (confirmed): 0.22547869 BTC (which if sold at current price is AUD$9.79)
According to my calculations it will cost me around $35/month for electricity. Which means I'll probably break even on running cost... I can live with that!!!
Anyone care to check my numbers??

Take a close look at your electric bill. Some utilities use a tiered approach, so that you pay a lower rate for the first hundred kWh's and more as you consume more. For example, you might pay .16/kWh for tier 1 and .24/kWh for tier 2, and your normal electrical usage puts you into tier 3, which is .30/kWh. Since you are adding demand in tier 3 the rate you should be using is .30/kWh, not the average.
