If you are going to be doing it seriously and long term I think litecoin mining is the way to go, the returns on bitcoin mining are pretty small unless you are already sitting on quad crossfire 7970s. I am just doing it to see how much I can make over a couple of months and maybe sell on if the prices sort themselves out!
how have you managed to get your litecoin mining going? im having nothing but trouble joined the pool site... but only started mining with the 680... waste of time lol i now have a 5830 and a 6870.... but only room for one of them to mine atm i need old hardware to mine on lol
I started doing it solo using the litecoin qt wallet built in miner. I tried using pool.x-eu but kept having connection issues, seeing as my gpu is doing bitcoins I just gave up after an hour of trying to join a pool, the less pool websites I sign up for the better to be quite honest.
when i tried the built in miner it didnt do anything... and i read up on that miner and some people said its a waste of time... and i think solo mining is a waste also...
hi guys i have a 7970 running bitminter and for some reason its only getting 280mhps :/ EDIT: right ive sussed it guys..... i had a 7970, 6870 and a 5830 in the same rig..... they dont like each other lol i just left the 7970 in and its a 540mhps now @ stock i have another 7970 on its way too EDIT ": nope its now dropped to 280mhps again
I have not used bitminter, but if you have option for extra flags click 'v' or if it's a text box put '-v'
+1 on guiminer it is the same and so there is a flag for continuous mining or to allow desktop use. My 7950 at a noise level of clocks I can cope with is 420 mhash/s then when you enable desktop it goes down to just over 300 mhash/s
Sorted it guys, Seens the gpu was stay down clocked at 500mhz :/ She's at 1100mhz or far getting 630mhps I've gona back to GUiminer to Sent from my BlackBerry 8520 using Tapatalk
heya chaps , since updating to 13.4 im now getting `verification failed check hardware` was getting 300 m/hashes on 13.1!
