All 7990s are reference boards AFAIK so it’s only the bios that may change.

What hashrates do you get from it?

Also worth pointing out, my water loop also has my CPU on it (3930k). ;)

ASUS ARES II and PowerColor AX7990 (Devil 13) were released before reference HD7990. I was getting about 650KH/s per GPU at 1200MHz under Linux with intensity 13. Wanted to try if Windoze allowed to run at higher intensity, but it crapped unexpectedly. When I had powered the machine up after some maintenance, I had noticed a spark and magic smoke coming from somewhere inside. Had smelt my ARES II, pulled it out and removed the back cover.

3 ceramic capacitors molten, 1 cracked, remaining 4 varied in capacitance heavily. Replaced them all. Those missing parts above the failed capacitors must be RC chains to prevent high inrush currents which can damage capacitors. A smart ASUS engineer designed them in and a dumb one supervising the project removed them to save a few cents on a $1500 card. What a shame.

5970 will do 700 MHz??? Wish I knew this 2 weeks ago before spending £100 more on a 7970 *cries*

They do but don’t forget that they are older cards, dual GPU (so more power) and no warranty.

Swings and roundabouts really.

7970 ftw!

Take a look at the starterkit: http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=685topic=486 should get you up and running in no-time.

Users need to move to the new pool. I see over 100 mh still on he old pool. I am turning off mining servers tonight. You are still able to withdraw coins from the site. I will disable that once all coins have been given to the users who mined them.

Please help me spread the word and help miners to move to the new site asap

Check out [url=http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency]http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency[/url]. This will give you a pretty fair idea of profitability of mining scrypt(FTC) vs SHA(BTC) coins based on how much hashing power you plan to put into either.

Also take a look at [url=http://mining.thegenesisblock.com]http://mining.thegenesisblock.com[/url]. If this is accurate, there really isn’t room for hobbyists in the BTC mining game much longer. That’s my opinion anyway.

Thanks I appreciate that. Sorry for the messup!

Glad I pulled out when I did.
Apparently no contact info on their whois.

Yeah this one got me good for about 400 ftc +

I’m currently wondering whether to start a feather coin farm. I see this skyrocketing in the future, and you know the sooner the better. Though I currently don’t have the cash to start a farm by myself so I’m wondering if there is enough community interest to start a feather coin farm. It could start somewhat small about 4-5mhash/s. Though that would grow as funds would be reinvested into the pool creating a higher hash rate. Start up cash I would need would be about 5,000 USD, to get a 4-5 mhash/s farm. Electricity in my area is cheap arounf 7 cents per kwatthour. I think I could start with 500 shares at 250 per share. Any though thoughts?
[/quote] I assume the 500 shares at 250 per share is a typo unless you are figuring on feathercoin as the investment currency, as if you are figuring the 250 as USD then the 500 shares comes to 125,000 total on the 5,000 initial. Please clarify this as well as the figures for power cost vs net gain and don’t forget about estimated maintenance cost as well. Keep in mind this is not like developing a game on kickstarter and understand that you would have to divide the initial up in to small enough shares and you would have own enough of those shares to have controlling say in your farm otherwise the shareholders own the farm and you would have to buy them out in order to have any say in the operation. You would have to divide it up in to say 5000 shares at say 1.00 USD per and you would have to keep a good 51% in order to have the controlling shares. Then you would have to show receipt of investment against the initial start up cost in order to have any grounds for claim of the 51% controlling ownership. You would also have to figure out a reasonable dividend payment as to not cripple the farm if you do not net enough to make the dividend payment. This is based on my limited knowledge however, so please take it with a grain of salt. Your best bet before proceeding further would be draw up a business plan and have an accountant go over it while also consulting a brokerage firm for their advice. As I said before this is based on my LIMITED knowledge and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Wow!! First block already found!

Website like coinchoose and coinwarz show the most profitable coin base on a calculation of price/difficulty/block reward. As the price goes up so does our ranking on coinchoose which means more miners seeking a quick buck.

Usually what happens is, as our diff drops we move up the profitability charts then the miners come, and shoot our diff back up again so we drop down. This time though we hit a particularly good spell where the price also rose negating the effect of the diff increase so the miners kept coming.

After a while SOME people will stick around as they are slightly longer term investors and will not be dumping the coins immediately so don’t mind if it’s not at the top of coinchoose.

Will take a look at the marketplace section. FTC now accepted. Thanks.

New PSU worked like a charm :) Rig steady @~2500Kh/s

I don’t disagree that it shouldn’t be. However, after just waking up this morning here is a picture of what I see. If it is just a glitch then shouldn’t I do something to fix it. Nothing has changed since my post last night however, this is the same instance of cudaminer, nothing has been reset and no settings have changed. It started at 6 khash/s last night and changed value to this now.

I should also mention you might notice that it sometimes gives the message “result does not validate on CPU!”, I did not notice this when it was going normal speeds.

I have 3 cards and that one was the worst. It’s a sad state of affairs when you rely on 12 year old girls to work in a electronics factory in china doing the work skilled laborers are supposed to do.
[/quote]

I had an incredible retort to this, but with every go-over in my head with it, I have to say it is probably [i]the worst thing I’ve ever said. Ever.[/i] It is [i]Hitler-bad.[/i] Going for it anyway:

[size=1pt]Actually, large glops of thermal paste are the signature of the 90 year olds in the free trade zones. The younger generation will put too little thermal paste rather than too much because when they check their levels at the end of the 14 hour shift, if they come up short they don’t want to get [i]thoroughly searchedifyouknowwhatimean[/i]. The elderly instead take it as an opportunity to flop dangly wrinklies around at their site manager to dare them to search for smuggled out thermal paste.[/size]

And there we go. A tasteless observation of our shitty economic state of affairs. Could any of you direct me to the ticket booth of the tram ride to Hell? Do they accept FTC?

“One, please.”

:o

I’ll leave on same train. At least we’ll have something to talk about on the way down.

Fixed a small issue that caused a few autopayouts to be delayed a few hours.

Huge thanks to svennand. It would have been OK if you had not transfered the bounty until you had become sure that the fix works. Thank you very much for being kind and generous.
Anyway, I hope the bug has already been killed. I am here to help if that is not the case.

Hey RIPPEDDRAGON!

I chose your pool a few weeks ago over many others. Found 7 blocks already too, haha. When are you moving the server over to give-me-ltc? I don’t want to miss a hash. :)
[/quote]

Haha I am not a pool operator, I just have this thread open as a ftc/community thing. I think there is some info for you here http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=733.0
