I am at fast-pool.com as well, they are the best pool I have been on!

I have noticed the same. I emailed the pool admin, I will let you guys know of any results.

Hello Everyone,

I requested a manual payout about 24 hours ago. This morning I changed pools due to fear of not getting paid for my mining efforts. I have sent two emails to phoentic and haven't received a response for either. He is probably being bombarded with emails so this is understandable. It seems like there are quite a few people having issues with payouts. I have read several reports of people not being paid within a 24 hour period from manual request. There are several people on this forum making light of this, I don't understand why you would not take this seriously. You may be next! I believe the majority of us are mining to make a profit, and if we are not being paid then obviously we are not profiting. I am not saying this is a scam, but this pool is definitely going down the shitter. Just look at how many blocks have been orphaned recently. I'm glad I only had 9k sitting in the pool. The pool I am currently mining has no fee and I have had MUCH success, so many more doges. I'm sure sooner or later my 9k will make it to my wallet but I am just not willing to wait over 24 hours. My apologies phonetic, I do not doubt the efforts you have put into this pool, but I highly suggest to anyone that they abandon this pool asap.

Thanks mikeybit, good info! Do you know if running the cards at your settings will severely decrease the lifespan of the cards?

I checked my local stores clearance and open box inventory online and they don't have any. I even called and got a sales associate that just told me to come into the store, I guess he didn't want to type to check inventory. Bummer, I would have bought at least 2 more and got a couple powered risers and hooked them up to a spare PSU. 

BEST BUY SUCKS!!!

Can you elaborate please? What exactly do those commands accomplish? The memclock command overclocks the GPU right? How about the gpu-engine command? What did you have for intensity? Also, any thoughts on the --thread-concurrency command?

Does anyone have a good resource for learning the cgminer settings?

Thanks!

Hello everyone, below are the specs to my altcoin miner. I have been mining dogecoin and litecoin.

Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 MOBO
AMD FX-6300 ishera 3.5 GHz CPU
2 x 4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws Series
3 x PowerColor AX7850 @GBD5-DH GPU
750 W Corsair PSU
xubuntu running on a 16GB PNY USB thumb drive
Alpha USB network adapter

I'm using cgminer with the following settings, currently mining DOGE

#!/bin/sh
export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
cd /home/YOUR_XUBUNTU_USERNAME/cgminer-2.11.4-x86_64-built
./cgminer --scrypt -I 19 --thread-concurrency 21712 -o stratum+tcp://fast-pool.com:3333 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD

According to my kill-a-watt P3, this setup uses about 425 watts.

By the way I have used many pools for DOGE and my current pool, https://fast-pool.com by far has returned the best results for myself.

I'm currently averaging just a little over 900 KH/s. I haven't messed with any of the cgminer settings at all, I just copied them from Crypto Badger at http://www.cryptobadger.com/2013/04/build-a-litecoin-mining-rig-linux/ which has the best information on alt coin mining available on the net!

Anyways, can anyone tell me the best cgminer settings to get the most out of my cards. Also, I would like to keep my cards in good condition. As soon as Alpha Technology comes out with the ASIC miner for scrypt, I will be turning my miner into a gaming machine. I recommend checking out their soon to be available products at https://alpha-t.net/. Thanks in advance everyone! Happy mining!
