Sa mga nagkaka problema dyan sa pool, pwede nyo lagyan ng --failover-only para incase na madisconnect sa unang pool e automatic sya lilipat sa ibang pool.

sample query: --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://yourpool.com:port -u xxx -p xxx

[lloyd_an...@yahoo.com.ph]

Sir hashpuppy, pwede ba ipagawa sa mga aluminum fabricator yung rig casing mo? Mga magkano kaya yung pagawa sa ganun? Tnx.

[lloyd_an...@yahoo.com.ph]

[cocoy]

mga master pwede po ba kayo mag post ng procedure kung paano ma convert si doge>btc>usd>php, saan po ba mga site dapat gumawa ng account at iba pang bagay na may kinalaman para maging php si doge. sorry po noob pa kasi ako dito at na lock ata yung thread sa tpc, kakasimula ko pa lang kasi magbasa dun kaya ngayon wala na akong reference. thanks po.

[thebackground]

(Assuming that you already have a wallet)

its easy as AB(wlang C sa sobrang dali) :)

A. sell your Doge to BTC in Cryptsy or other trading platform

B. then from BTC you can sell it directly to PHP at buybitcoin.ph

[cocoy]

salamat sir thebackground mukhang mas mabilis nga to, yun kasing nabasa ko sa tpc parang kailangan pa ng paypal account. isa pa po sir, trusted naman po ba yung buybitcoin.ph? sorry dami tanong ^_^

[thebackground]

yes. check their website nlang :) may mga features sila sa mga newspapers, online magazines and tv's.

[arvie florentino]

Baka po may makakapag share ng config for linux bamt using 2x 280x r9 dual x oc. Slamat

Guys share ko lang..kasi nung weekend I encountered a problem with my mining rig..lagi sya naghhang/crush every 2hrs kahit walang HW errors so I need to restart yung rig ko and start mining ulit. pero ngayon..so far nakakapag mine na ako na walang problema with minimal HW errors ( 0 - 3 HW) for almost 24hrs na. here's what i did (I'm using pala Sapphire R9 270 OC Boost):

1. delete ko lahat ng .bin sa cgminer directory ko including yung cgminer.conf
2. nirun ko cgminer with pool info and -I 13 parameter only. after ilang seconds/minutes na nagrrun yung cgminer quinit ko sya.
3. cgminer will generate a .bin file with TC info. yung saakin 14208 so yun yung ginamit ko sa thread-concurrency
4. then kinuha ko yung ibang info like --gpu-engine --gpu-memclock etc sa Mining Hardware Comparison Chart tweak ko na lang after nun within cgminer

[chris con]

hi can anyone help me sa cgminer os ko is win7,
first i download cgminer 3.7.2 then i extract it sa directory after that ang sabi need ko mag register to mining pool para maka pag start ng mining i try one of the mining pool i try editing the example.conf
ano po ba gagawin ko d2 sensya na ngayun p lang po ako makaka exprience ng coding lol anyone can help paano ko ieedit to try ko ilagay yun url ng mining pool na sinalihan ko eh worker id and password wala p din po :(

Welcome po sa group sir,
There is actually 3 or more ways pra mapagana si CGMiner

[REFERENCE SETTING] - need mo to pra mkita mo ang tamang setting ng GPU mo

I- is the command prompt technique

1. open cmd prompt

2. navigate to your cgminer directory.

          3. execute this command (for reference only) cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum8.dogehouse.org:3336 -u Weblogin.WorkerNAME -p Worker password  <and other setting from reference sa taas > 
          4. then sa desktop mo.right click -> create a shortcut -> paste mo lang yung command na nacreate mo from step 3 (including directory) pra next run mo idodouble click mo nlang yung shourtcut.

II. automatic setting from pool- does not work on all pool, may mga pool lang na nagpprovide ng settings. 

1. assuming may account kna, create ka ng worker

2. then usually ung mga mgandang pool may makikita ka sa tabi ng worker n download settings (same to halos sa taas) 

3. edit edit mo lang to then pwede na.

III. via config file. - tulad to ng ginawa mo, pero medjo advance na to.. kasi mdami ka ng pinapakaelaman n settings

Check mo tong thread n to sir, and basa basa kana din. pra mas solid yung knowledge mo.

pwede mo ng copy ang settings jan, then edit edit mo lang base sa REFERENCE SETTING ng GPU mo. 

           

 

 

[chris con]

@thebackground
salamat po sa guide sir napagana ko na po marami pa lang way para gumana yun cgminer

[thebackground]

congrats pre.! pag may question ka lang don't hesitate to ask, ipost mo lang sa tamang thread :)

[Anti Online]

@chris con you need to rename example.conf to cgminer.conf para mabasa and gamitin sya ng cgminer or ipoint mo yung cgminer to use example.conf as the config file na gagamitin nya

for example:
cgminer --config example.conf

[Agentdap]

pa help naman sa BAMT usb flash drive. hanggang 580kh/s umaabot sa kin. pero sa win7. 700++.
same config:
"intensity" : "13,13",
"vectors" : "1,1",
"worksize" : "256,256",
"kernel" : "scrypt,scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "0,0",

"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"device" : "0,1"
parang ayaw din gumana ng undervolt.

[Slide Gurtiza]

Agentdap, anong card mo?  Have you tried upping the intensity? Try mo in increments of 1 until things fail. 

Voltage control does not work in BAMT, it's a limitation of the Linux catalyst driver.

[Agentdap]

MSI r9 280x yung may kasamang BF4. mag win7 na nga lang ulit. para 700+kH. hehehe ty.

[vincent miras]

hi everyone...bgo lng po ko s group...hingi lng sana ako ng advise regarding mining...iam planning to have my own rigs but my budget is only 60k...do you think this is enough to have my own mining equipment...and sana mtulungan nyo ako sa mga specs n kelangan ko...thanks...

[thebackground]

Welcome po sa group
yes po sapat n yan, mkaka 2-3 or kung swerte bka 4 GPU kna nyan depends sa makukuha mong price

[vincent miras]

ok sir thanks po...sir meron po b kaung mining set up n maiiaadvise pra s mga newbie n tulad ko..?thnks

[thebackground]

there's such thing as newbie in mining.. 
lahat ng tao ganyan din sa start.
at wala ding pro sa mining.
even yung mga mtagal na nagkakaproblema parin sa pag timpla ng GPU :)
anyway. to start cgro.
dapat you know some basics in computer.
specially the parts. kasi ikaw lang usually mag assemble nyan.
check mo yung mining rigs threads
may nka post ng rigs jan. nanjan din yung sa akin at pasok na pasok sa budget mo :)
good luck

[Anti Online]

@thebackground I see napalitan mo na yung 2 mong nabrick na VC...musta nmn yung msi na pinalit mo? maingay ba and musta hashrate? hanggang ilan pwede isagad dun? tnx tnx

[vincent miras]

mga sir eto po ung equipment n balak kong isetup...itanong ko lng kung compatible cla isat isa.

cpu FM2: AMD A8 5600K 3.6-3.9ghz, hd7560d 256 Shaders, 4-Core
mb:fm2 a85xa g43 or fm2 a85xa g43
psu: NZXT Hale90 V2 1200watts 80Plus Gold Fully Modular

ram: G.Skill Aegis (Dual) 2x4gb ddr3 1600 CL11 (F3 1600C11D 8GIS)

by nextweek ko sana sir cla bibilin...pkicomment nmn po kung my hindi compatible s rig n bubuoin ko. thanks...

[vincent miras]

[thebackground]

@aol
nsa distro ng netmiles yung sapphire, di ko pa napapafollow up.
yung msi 7950 nman nsa seller(sya daw mag ttry n ipadistro)

yes bumuli ko ng new MSI R9 280x.. so far its awesome...
temps are low and output is high... and wla din ingay, mas maingay pa yung electricfan.
sa doge. consistent sya sa 740khash Temps 68-74C(tanghali) - out of the box no tweaking
sa vertlike algorithm = 340-360khahs. same sa taas ang temps

@boss vincent,
kung kaya mong mkahanap ng murang parts mas maganda. 
yung proc mo alam ko mahal yan,
and yung memory, mahal kasi Gskils, gamit ko kingston lang.. mas mura :)

QUESTION: HOW MANY GPUs CAN WINDOWS 7 SUPPORT?

ANSWER: FOUR

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=11677.0

:(

[Wein Strider]

Hi Guys,

I know this is a noob question, but I want to ask your help how to sell my dodge to www.cryptsy.com. I have registered already but how I am going to sell my dodge? do I have to wait for buyer like in TPC in order for my dodge to be sell? or that site automatically buy your dodge and convert it to bitcoin? like on buybitcoin.ph transaction?

Maraming salamat po sa makakasagot.

GOD BLESS!

[maru]

@Wein

best way is trade to bitcoin

then trade bitcoin to cash via various portals such as buybitcoins.ph or paypana as examples.

you can also use paypal but I think the costs are higher with that route.

[Wein Strider]

@maru, 

Is trading doge to bitcoin is like waiting for other buyers to buy them from you? or the cryptsy.com is the one will buy your dodge to bitcoin? 

Since I have no experience selling any currency like doge to bitcoin, i have no idea how to do it.

anyone can explain this to me? 

I would be glad and appreciate  anyone who will answer this question.

thanks

[Slide Gurtiza]

yes, that's correct.  you offer them a price in bitcoins (btc) then you wait for someone to buy.  other traders will buy it, not cryptsy. after that, withdraw your btc, then sell to buybitcoins.ph

[Wein Strider]

@slide

Thanks sir slide for the clarification, now I know how it works. Para palang Diablo 3 yan auction house nag sell ako ng item tapos wait ko mabenta yung item na naka vend ko after 1day 11hrs of waiting meron na bibili nun.

Hehe!

[Wein Strider]

@slide

1 more question, meron bang bracket na baseline ng price ng doge to bitcoin sa cryptsy?

how do we know the price of 1doge to bitcoin na offer mo is sufficient or hindi ka lugi?

parang ang hirap ata i gauge yung conversion ng doge to bitcoin if wala tayo price list for that.

[Slide Gurtiza]

no baseline,  it's all free trade.  check the averages on the exchange site or try to predict the trend.

[Wein Strider]

@slide,

thanks po for the clarification.

guys, when i started learning about this I am so excited to make my own rig and get it started. the problem is that my wife is pessimistic when it comes on investing on this new type of business. She wants to see a proof that someone I know who is making a profit on this coin mining before she will support me financially.

Its very hard to convince her without a proof as a typical response of anyone who might heard of this bitcoin new virtual currency.

Anyway I will have to show her that its a profitable business and its worth investing and of course in business you have to set your mind that in business theres always a win or lose situation and its a fact.

[Slide Gurtiza]

there's a simple rule to all this, mining or trading:  don't spend what you can't afford to lose.  if either of you have doubts or will be hit hard should your investment tank, do not invest.

[Nonoy]

hahaha i have the exact same situation WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor)

specially when she read about the MtGox issue, that is why i was given a small budget of 13k for my first 350khash mining rig, pag naka php1,000 na ko, money out ko muna as proof of income ;)

when i make 6,000 ill get another vcard to double output to 700khash,  then on to more... to infinity and beyond!

[Slide Gurtiza]

@Nonoy

*high five*

though, in my case, personal money ko yung ginamit ko to build my 3x7850 rig, hindi ako sumawsaw sa family funds.  Nonetheless, may peace of mind si misis pag alam niya may maaasahan siyang cash pag magkaroon ng emergency.

also: first time cash out ko kanina via bitcoinpinoy.  ngayon, may tangible proof na ako na may potential yung investment ko.

[Wein Strider]

@nonoy 

Haha Its nice to hear that I am not alone on my case. Anyway I convince my wife na and she is willing to give me a small amount of money for first video card. 

I check on buybitcoin.ph that you can only trade your bitcoin as a minimum of 0.1 btc equivalent of 2,500 below than that its impossible unless you know a friend that is willing to buy a bitcoin that is below on that amount. 

My first video card that i was planning to buy e yung 750ti nga kya lang sa 280mhas to 300mhash computed my income sa dodge after 30days wala pang 4k php yung babalik, pero atleast you know already na may income tlga.

 

[Nonoy]

@slide

congrats on the first withdrawal to cash, its nice to know that the site actually works

@wein

oo nga, didnt know na .1 btc pala minimum, matagal tagal na ipon pa ito sa 350 khash ko haha

[Wein Strider]

@nonoy uu gudluck pre kahit matagal ang income sa videocard mo atleast may pang budget ka pambayad sa kuryente mo hehe!

anyone here can give us specific amount on their electricity bill after 30days they start their mining?

[Anti Online]

@Wein i use coinwarz to compute the power consumption..so far accurate naman yung nilalabas nya na power consumption. I'm using r9 270 with around 220W power consumption I'm getting around 420-439khs. using those data, sabi ng coinwarz mga around P1500+ ang consumption ko..pag dating ng meralco bill ko ganun nga yung dinagdag.

[Wein Strider]

@anti online

thanks for the input, I use it too but i am just unsure if its accurate unless someone from here proved that its true. Now that you vouch for it for yourself I do not have to doubt anymore.

Thank you!! Thats all I need to know! =)

[maru]

this is solid and very good advice Slide! :)

only put what you can afford to lose in cryptocurrency mining, especially now that bitcoin is having such a huge hit from the collapse of MtGox.

[Ronaldo San Pablo]

Guys, ask lang po pag buying and selling coins. Ano po tamang protocol/ethic when dealing with another buyer/seller. Ano po una? mag deposit yung seller ng coin or mag deposit muna yung bibili ng coin? Salamat po.

[maru]

@Ronaldo San Pablo

your query is interesting, I do not have the answer for that although since it is a business transaction, the exchange should be simultaneous if possible. otherwise, any scenario should work, just make sure all parties are trustworthy :)
