You were right.  Already synced.  Thanks.

So just learning about Bitcore.  So in order to participate in the airdrop, I have to sign the message AIRDROP in my BTX Wallet.  That requires me to download the entire BTX blockchain correct before I can sign the message?  Right now the client says it will take me 13 weeks to download the blockchain.  Do I have to download the entire blockchain to sign the message?  If I do, is there a place where I can download an up to date copy of the blockchain to speed up this process?  Thanks guys!

I have flashed the rom you mentioned above with atiflash to one of the Gigabyte (Elipida) cards.  I am getting 95 - 97 H/s.  When you say "Try 1100/1575Mhz" do you mean modify the rom itself with VBE7.0.0.7b.exe to match those numbers, save it, and reflash the card with the new file or do you mean set those settings in MSI Afterburner?  Forgive me for my lack of knowledge this whole mining thing is new to me and I am trying to learn.  Thank you!  Anything I can do to the bat?  Here is how it looks now and thanks!

Thanks!

I have 4x GIGABYTE GV-R928XOC-3GD REV2 Radeon R9 280X 3GB that I have been using mining zcash.  Is it just a matter of flashing this rom in the via atiflash that is in the original post?  That's it?

Took yalls advice and I am now on a fresh install of 14.02.  I installed the drivers using sudo apt-get install fglrx I got to the point of "make" and get:

mine@mine:~/silentarmy$ make

Fresh install of Ubundu 16.04.  Using the instructions on the github website installed the SDK only.  Can't install the drivers because I am running R9 280x and AMD doesn't make drivers for 16.04 for 280x so was going to use the default ones.  I get here and I am stuck.  Any help will be appreciated!

I figured I would start fresh yet again and have done a clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.  After it booted up the first command I typed was "sudo apt-get install fglrx" and the system complained about not having libcheese so I installed that and then ran sudo apt-get install fglrx. I then did a reboot and when I open a terminal there are colors/artifacts and I read any windows.

I went back and tried to install the official AMD drivers thinking that was the problem.

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 unity-control-center : Depends: libcheese-gtk23 (>= 3.4.0) but it is not going to be installed
                        Depends: libcheese7 (>= 3.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.

I am on 14.04 using 5x 280x.  I was on 16.04 until I realized that they don't make drivers for the 280x for that version of Ubuntu so I downgraded.  Doesn't matter to me which version I am on.  This is strictly a mining machine.  Thanks for your time.

mine@mine:~$ clinfo

I also get a Ubuntu popup that says Sorry, the application clinfo has stopped unexpectedly.  If you notice further problems, try restarting the computer.

I've done some googling but can't find anything that works to fix this. :/  First time trying ubuntu was a few days ago!

Ubuntu noob here.  Can someone give instructions how to compile this?

So are you saying just skip the amd driver inatall and use the stock ubuntu 16.04 drivers for my 280x cards and there is not much difference in hash rates or downgrade to 14.04 is best you think so I can use the amd drivers?

I have been trying to get the install to work using the instructions as I am fairly new to Ubuntu.  I read the aarticle below that says I can't install the newest drivers on 16.04.  What are my options.  Do I somehow downgrade to 14.04 or use what is default to Ubuntu?  Will that affect my performance hashing?  I am using 5x R9 280x.

http://askubuntu.com/questions/765616/amd-r9-280x-drivers-for-ubuntu-16-04

fglrx is no longer supported on 16.04. AMD discontinued support for its Linux driver, and it isn't compatible (you will break your installation if you attempt to install fglrx on 16.04).

For now, you have to stick with the open source drivers. AMD may be releasing a proprietary driver for Linux that works with 16.04, but it probably won't support very many cards.

Here's a comparison of how the default drivers on 16.04 compare to fglrx on 14.04, if you want to take a look:

Thanks.  I am using afterburner for the 957/1200 on the 280x and I max at about 21 Sol/s.  Are you doing -w or -i in your command line?  Anything that I might have missed?  Thanks again.

I have 5x 280x cards.  When you say 957/1200, does that mean Core/Mem?  Have you modified your actual rom file to those numbers and then flashed your bios with ATI flash or does 957/1200 mean something different and something you can set in windows?  If it is something different, can you tell me how to set those numbers?  I want to try your settings on my 280x cards.  Thanks!

Nice man.  What AMD driver version are you using for your 280x?  Did you change intensity, work size or any other options?  Stock firmware flashed to card as well?  Undervolting?  Thanks!

What AMD driver version are you using for your 280x?  I have 5x 280x and I have one card that always crashes the display driver.  Also, are you using stock firmware on your cards from the factory? Undervolting or anything like that?  I think my firmware was setup for scrypt way back when.  My miners have been off for 2 years and have since created a dual boot ubuntu (for wallet) and Windows 10 to get this thing back mining.

Thanks for this.  I have a folder setup with this for each of my gpus. 280x x 5.  After driver crashes for that paticular gpu genoil won't mine.  Not your fault in know but is there a way to auto fix the driver issue so genoil will mine?  After driver crashes it only mines 0sols

5x 280x, AMD Driver 16.9.2, Win 10 x64

I can't get any options to work besides -c, -u, -p and -g.  Using -g makes miner run really slow.

My issue is crashing graphics driver.  Solution seems to be using -i from what im reading but i get unrecognised command for -i and the others listed.  Anyone else having this problem?  Drivers crash one by one every few minutes of mining.

Processor is an AMD Sempron 145.  I know it is slow but didn't think anything faster was needed when graphics cards are doing the mining.  Was also trying to not use as much electricity with this processor.  Anyway, so I need a faster processor?  Is that my problem...maybe?  Motherboard is GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX + SB950 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD.

Thanks guys!
