OK a few of things:

1. oops, i misread. Yes 780kh/s is high for a 280X, I also have 3 of those which all run at 750kh/s, so knowing your config would also be nice for me

2. I said I get 820kh/s on my 290 but i get 880kh/s too sometimes. (although this card is sketchy as it dies randomly) (85c-92c ish)

3. The user with a 500+ mh/s is a couple of guys with a mining warehouse in China, this has been repeated so many times.

4. Awesome, thanks iarsenaux, i'll try this when i get home from work. which brand of 280x are yours? Mine are sapphire vapors.

i have 2 computers with the same cards (some parts are different) but they have the same hash rates using same config and sdk (different amd cata).
you can check the wallet address on my screenshot to check my info reflected on the site. (while i am writing this, my correct hash power is displayed on the site and "blank" rejected hash rate. as for the fan, i need to use 80% to 100% because i'm in a tropical country.

thank you for sharing, I'll give it a try as soon as my risers arrive

i forgot, i use 2 different TC on my computers. The other one getting 770 - 780kh/s at TC 8192, and the other on same hash rate at 11200. everything else is the same on config.

i'm using Asus r9 280x dc 2 top version 1

--shaders 1792? The R9 280x has 2048 shaders. Any particular reason you're not using all of them?

Honestly, i don't know what the shaders are for. I just copied that part on my config from 7950 cards. i will try to use that and i will post here the effect.

Tried to increase the shaders from 1792 to 2048 on 1-2kh/s difference. Thanks for the info that the shaders for r9 280x is 2048.

If your using thread concurrency  u don't need to use shaders at all, they are getting overwritten by thread concurrency.

Hey guys,

been mining on this pool for quite some time now, but recently I am a bit confused with the unexchanged balance.
Since h2o switched all the servers to autoswitching I am building up a ton of unexchanged coins in my account.
(see here: http://middlecoin2.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/reports/1eoGxkQiKc9vA1FguRrzsio58AehY8Nic.html )

I am just more or less curious why this is happening now? Is it because we have to much hashpower thus too many coins that can not be traded anymore?

Or is there anything else happening?

Any help or information appreciated

Uh oh, you asked one of the top offending questions in this thread! Aside from questioning H2O's lack of promptness with resolving issues and answering basic questions, why is my unexchanged balance too high is the next question that tickles the resident retards of this thread silly. Watch for flaming responses asking for you to leave and go mine on your own

You just started mining (heavily). I checked my charts and the slope you have there is obscured on my miners by previously unexchanged coins (which you can't have). There is also a clear trend on my charts too. Give it a few days to level off, it looks like some coins are only exchanged after 3 days or more.

You can also check the pool chart to match it against yours after a few days. My charts look like the pool chart.

If you have thread-concurrency set in your bat file this overrides the shaders setting. From the cgminer README:

• Setting thread concurrency overrides anything you put into --shaders and is ultimately a BETTER way to tune performance.

Does anyone know whether the above changes are the same as the 5-minute failover interval that is discussed at below links?  Just wondering if there are additional improvements that can still be made.

They're not the same. The keepalive changes only modify how long it takes before a dead connection is discovered.

You can find the failover interval value in the code section after the "Only switch pools if the failback pool has been" comment in cgminer.c.
It's 300 seconds by default, but I've lowered it to 60 seconds in my version.

Kalroth - One more question, if I may:  I noticed in your version of cgminer, that the tcp_keepidle and tcp_keepintvl values are only modified in one of the two locations these variables appear (i.e., under #ifndef WIN32, tcp_keepidle=45 and tcp_keepintvl=30 are retained).  Any reason not to change in both places?

Hallo i just wonder that this user had the same problem at the same time as the whole pool, anyone know what happend at this time ?

Pool:


User:


While others didnt have this problem, Was it server releated ? (one of the new servers?)

Since that user is a fairly sizable portion of the pool, when he went down, the whole pool hashrate dropped.

What's more likely? a dude from china who made a botnet that infected a bunch of people, or a guy has a secret underground chip for hundreds of thousands in investment, that still is less than impressive for altcoin mining? lol

Sorry, no botnet,  botnet Hashrate will up and down by daily people sleep and get up.

What did you do to them?! Why are the people not going to sleep and getting up!?!?!

[coinGeek]

H2o, this is your full time job, can you start treating it as one by replying to more of the questions people have in the thread. You said you spend over 40 hours a week working on middlecoin, spend atleast 1 of those talking to the members of your pool.

I can sympathize with both sides of this. I think I see h2o's dilemma from my small role with the graphs. I kind of feel that I should keep up with the forum but I'm getting too busy. The volume of posts is way high and the ratio important posts, actually about the Middlecoin pool, is low.  Meanwhile, once in a while someone has a relevant question or concern, but they are way down in the noise.

Notice that I changed the Subject and Message icon for this post. This might give an idea to any group who might want to improve the usefulness of the forum. It's just a suggestion.

For the next few weeks or so I won't have the time to really keep up here (so PM me with graph issues). I will skim now and then though, because there are good things and smart people here...

[ButterBread]

Has this thread morphed into the mining hardware and cgminer configuration thread again?

Use the appropriate thread for that please.

No offense but with this sort of mining power you should solo-mine litecoin. No point in inflating (and in the same process destroying) what should be a small and nimble switching pool... :-/

[antonio8]

Sorry probably been asked, new to this.

But how do I get that graph that shows usage or where do I input my wallet address to see my performance?

Is there a program or site?

I tried that iRC thing and connected but don't know where to go from here.

Thanks

I tried to attach a picture put could not

Hello dear middlecoiners, I've been mining here for the last few weeks with my highly inefficient 4870X2 setup! I'm looking forward to setting up my 6x R9 280x rig this weekend!

Now regarding this:

It's quite easy, actually.
You need your bank name, bank address, bank SWIFT/BIC code, your SEPA-compatible account number (if it's not presented to you normally, you can most propably find a calculator on your bank's page, or as You said, you can phone them) and your name.
Those You will input on the Kraken page.

As per EUR or USD to GBP, yeah, I don't think there are any big enough BTC/GBP markets.

I've been looking at this the last few days and the cheapest solution I seemed to have found so far is:
1) trade out of BTC into EUR on Kraken for 0.2%
2) SEPA transfer to a EUR bank account in the UK
3) Use a cheap FX company to change into GBP (found these guys earlier: http://www.worldfirst.com/) and doesn't charge for transfers.

Sounds good no?

I know this is a little off topic but whatever.

I decided this seemed like it was the best method for a UK miner (like myself). So I went to my bank today to open a Euro account and they want to charge me to have this account open and i have to have a minimum of $2000 worth of Euros in it at all times! So I told them to stick it up their arse!

Back to square one

Unless... Does anyone know if you can do a sepa transfer of Euro's directly into a GBP current account?
