I am also getting lower then the coinwarz estimates, but each doge block has random value of 1-1,000,000 shares in them. So if you get lower somedays it should balance out on others. Coinwarz Calculator bases calculation on 500,000 doge per block which is average of 1-1,000,000. Thats why its never accurate on per day basis.

I have been mining when your frontend was down. You said "keep mining the pool works"  on main page but its clearly lie. 79% of what I should of earned doge coins are missing. I only have 3000 doge I normally make 30k a day. Is this some sort of scam scheme going on? You lost your credibility here, Not coming back to this pool until you fix this shit.

Gigabyte R9 280x Rev2 is best. It produces 730k/s while its undervolted to 1.075V at 64C . Sapphires and other makes are power hungry. No other make can come close to Gigabyte version.

LOL, what settings are you using at 1.075V?
Iv'e only managed to get 680Kh/s max, but mine is on 1.131V. When i had it stock 1.2V it barely reached 600Kh/s
Thanks

Sapphire Radeon R9 280X Dual-X been better than my gigabyte
saphire 750khs 1.025v much cooler than Gigabyte R9 280x Rev2
gigabyte cant get voltage below 1.07, hash only 735khs

and my sapphire finds somehow 25% more shares than GIgabyte

Is your Sapphire Dual X stable on that 1.025 voltage with 750kh? I doubt it is. If you flash Gigabyte R9 280x Rev 2 it can get below voltage 1.07 but its not stable. (or i havent find right settings to make it so)

gigabyte is flashed, it carshes while under 1.07v

sapphire is stable at 754khs 1.024V 1080/1500 weeks online with those settings,
 if lover anything below 1.024 it crashes once or twice aday
it can go even to 0.950 but there is no sense, it crashes about after 30minutes
sapphires power usage is 30w less than gigabyte

and best thing, it finds  allways more blocks than gigabyte

See I was kinda impressed with your results until your last sentence which jeopardized your entire post.
Finding blocks are direct relationship with your khash rate. And you said "Sapphire finds 25% more shares then Gigabyte". wtf? How is 750 kh is 25% more then 730kh? Are you fail at math?

You might get higher khash setting with some settings but your comments on trashing other r9 280x's are simply BS.

Re: 1 gpu always DEAD overnight

If you could give the exact model of the graphics card that would help, but to me 750Watts running graphics two graphics card at full ( which is what any kind of crypto mining does ) is the bare minimum for your energy requirements, it may be shutting off one down so that you can keep the other running.

It would be baffling if you were running low end/mid range graphics cards but high end graphics cards would explain your problem, I have a high end graphics card ( ATI Radeon 6970 MSI Lightning ) running all night and periodically in the day and I have had no problems with a 700 odd watt power supply.

This is link to official gigabyte site of my card

I noticed this happening 2 days in a row. I have 2x Gigabyte R9 280x rev 2. The card should be fine because when I restart computer it works normal again. My both cards are undervolted to 1.087v

My question why one of them dead and the other isnt. And the dead one is the 69degree one. The other runs 84 degree and does not die.

About fuses and watts

on 03/01/2014, 00:05:37 UTC
I live in UK and in old council flat. In UK most of the broadband and electrical systems are ancient. I don't know much about electrics and fuses so please advice me with following to not burn my house down.


MY first rig with:
 
750w 80 plus corsair gold psu
2 x R9 280x undervolted 1.087
Intel core 2 duo e4400 2.0ghz 4gbram.
MSI p35 Platinum mb
4gb geil 800mhz ram


and I am building other rig with

AMD fx6300
3x R9 280x (gonna undervolt as well)
8gb corsair 1600mhz ram
Asus extreme 4 970 motherboard
Evga 1300V 80+ gold PSU

I am going to plug the 2nd rig in different socket but is this overall setup can blow up my fuse and burn down my house?

Any advice appreciated...

People worried about ASICs shouldn't really be, because I have heard that the GDDR6 Vram cards are coming out in middle/late 2014 and they will cost about the same as GDDR5 VRAM cards, and I have heard that 1 card should be able to mine at a max of about 2.5M/hash (for ~$800 (7990 price))

I agree, who knows what AMD pull off next time. They might decide to make move on miner market and make ASICs. You should mine with what you got make some steady profit, without worrying too much right now.

This is the settings I use

Chasing new alt coins or mine steady ones?
by
epicjim
on 01/01/2014, 09:33:39 UTC
Hello I started mining recently and I noticed there are a lot of new alt coins that launched and people try to mine them early for profits. But some of these altcoins do not even show up on exchanges.

For regular miners here; do you guys always chase new alt coins to mine or do you guys have steady alt coin mining going on with a more reputable alt coin?
