Thanks. That’s a relief.

I’m using the GPU’s for Neoscrypt with cgminer and also using the CPU’s (6 or 8 core AMD) of each rig for Neoscrypt with minerd

I mine using the NVidia 750ti which was around £100 (although I have not tried it with NeoScrypt and the new GPU miner yet) but its low power so comparable to the big guns (R9 280x) bang for buck.

I had the same idea about Phoenixcoin so I ended up with more then a few of PXC before it switched to Neoscrypt :-)

Maybe i’ll point the Thunders to Multipool Scrypt or something like that and harvest anything profitable.

hm…

well… i’ve setup a pool already in just a few mins (faster than i thought) it was a good experience to know what happens behind a pool. but I don’t have any one mining on it so i probably will take it down.

it are my own servers (not rented, not leashed, pure mine) so cost is no problem, electricity is ‘free’ here (I pay a monthly fee and can use as much as i want)

Greetings!

i have updated the p2pool-feathercoin source to the latest p2pool upstream. The updated version is available on github (See URL in the first post). Not sure if it helps in the neoscrypt development, but updating to the latest source is always a good idea… ;-)

I’ve thought about this situation again. I’m leaving this thread in place, but locked so people can make up their own mind about if they wish to use MF’s pool (now cleansed of HYIP) , given the information documented on the thread about the ponzi activities. To remove this thread would wipe your slate clean, which would rob people of vital information about both your actives and your willingness to comply with our requests.

Ah OK well it looks like you have it setup correctly to me. Although I’m not the best person.
Is there any way to try setting up your feathercoind on the same box to rule out connectivity issues?

The point is that you did it wrong ;).

Leasing a mining rig can be really profitable, just you need to know what to mine.

When leasing a rig you should look for new coins on site like www.altcoincalender.info.

Then make sure you start it at launch with a lot hash while the hash is low and the coin reward high.

Also when launching a own coin some use it to rent some rigs at start for a smoother hashrate seperation.

And get there own coin.

Dont forget to put up you glowing emergency exit signs and emergency lights which will need to be tested every 6 months, as will your co2 extinguisher, and the list goes on… :)

I agree that mining some coins is not profitable right now. But if you believe the coin will increase in price in the long run then you may well be able to Look back at this point I’m time with the knowledge that it was the most profitable mining you ever did. Or a huge mistake. But that’s the game Lol.

Can a new user start a new thread?

Is it costing you a lot to keep the node running?

and was that you that slapped another asic running on it today Wrapper? :P

Only have 700khs pointed at the FTC p2p, much prefer to mine that way over big pools though :)

Got 6 x 750ti badboys on the way in, sold off my 280x cards today for a swap. I’ll update with some pictures on how the rig looks full with cards as soon as I’ve gotten them installed ;)

Good work!

Svennand, first of all let me thank you for this very detailed and informative post.
I read you “adventures” with mobo frying here on the forums so I know you have lots of first hand info and that makes this thread even more valuable.

Let’s see if I got it right. The most important thing is: if you have more than two cards, you have to use powered risers or you will fry your mobo for sure. An the reason is the power overhead sucked up from the PCIe bus. If you have the powered risers the additional power is taken from them (the molex or whatever is connected).
Am I on the right track?

Ok. So, keeping in mind that I decided to switch the 7870 for a 6970, I made some calculations:

Card – Power ----> Overhead
Gpu0 (HIS 6970) – 250 W ----> +25 W (8+6)
Gpu1 (Sapphire 6850) – 200 W ----> -25 W (8+6)
Gpu2 (Asus 5870) – 188 W ----> -37 W (8+6)

These are figures for Scrypt mining according to this page. I verified that those numbers are quite spot on.
So, looking at these calculations I should be good to go, am I right? The mobo should be capable of handling the overhead if I put the 6970 on a 16x slot. Even without the powered risers. Am I right?
If that’s not true, the card itself should burn the mobo even if used alone in the rig. BTW I will have to buy risers anyway so I will have no problem at all I think.

As for the second PSU, I just connect it and I’m ready to go. Good news!

Another thing. I am thinking of an “anti-dust” layout where the pc is “upside-down” to avoid becoming a dust ball in a week. Something like this (poor) sketch is representing. Is there any risk in this kind of arrangement (that I’ve never seen around…)?? Everything would be obviously nailed down with nuts and bolts and on the MoBo, only the CPU fan and the ram are present. I don’t see any side effect in doing this but I may be wrong.
