BitCoin blocks found

[shoota]

I think it'd be fun to see who has found blocks and how many. I know there aren't many so it should be interesting to see what happens. I haven't found any yet. To find the info on BTCGuild it's under My Account and looks like this:

Just to piggy back on the thread here, would it be possible for everyone to submit a similar summary of what you've got running in terms of hash-rate?

I'm seriously looking into setting up a mining pool for us if we could get enough power behind it.

Current estimates place us needing probably ~40GH/sec to get one block (50BTC) per day. That is if difficulty jumps all the way up to 750000 in ~10days.

Well, I was hoping in the show your farm thread people would also list their MH/s rates like I started But perhaps a thread w/ just that info might be useful.

^ those are three 5830s and there are two more 6850s on their way

[Tom128]

I only have 3 running now, missed my 4th card being delivered today. I have:

5850 - 310MH/sec
5850 - 280MH/sec
5830 - 270MH/sec

I know it's sort of weird that my 5830 is so close. One of my 5850's has a really low max clock, I need to flash a new BIOS on there so I can get it above 775Mhz, while my 5830 is running at 900Mhz. My other 5850 can probably clock higher than it's current 820Mhz, just need to do the clocking.

I was turned off by BTCGuild when they were so overloaded, so I've been mining at bitcoins.lc and they don't have that. Is BTCGuild working well for everyone now? I could switch back, I know I don't have any found over there.

Let's NOT piggyback onto this thread with other ideas, if we want to take a poll to figure out if we have enough power to start our own XS pool, can we do that it a new thread? We've got our own subforum, after all...

Yeah man BTCGuild just deployed a few new servers so the load has been balanced well lately and I haven't noticed any slowdowns.

I never saw too significant of a slowdown at BTCGuild but now they seem fine. They have a US East, US West and Europe server now, so I think they have the load issues fixed with room to spare.

I am running one 5870 (another in the post) it is the cheapest I could find and at 900 core is currently running around 375 Mhash/sec

[Toolius]

here is what i am putting out right now
a XS pool would soo rock !!!

[c22]

Yeah it would

Various graphics cards from 6870 to 5970 toxic

[jcool]

Well, here's mine. Running about 80% of what I got right now, sadly I caught a bad flu and had to stop building miners on Thursday. They have been pretty stable though...
I grouped the Worker's by individual rigs, so I'll know if something is off, and where to look.

[shoota]

nice jcool, what's the card in that first line that's doing 1197?

[jcool]

That's actually 2 rigs on one account still. From memory, these are two 5850's and two 5770's... not sure though, would have to remote onto those machines (and I think I forgot to set it up on 1) so I'm happy to see them run at all.

I was looking into starting a private pool for xs as well since we basically have enough hardware here to start nuclear fusion. But you have to be really, really, really sure that the pool server is encrypting and repeatedly backing up the wallets to multiple servers, and has seriously top notch security because otherwise it can turn into a horrible disaster.

[don_xvi]

Yeah, no doubt. I liked the idea of us having a pool as well, but I see they're all getting attacked all the time.

where are you seeing this?

[slaveondope]

Found 12 blocks while in a pool so far but it's been ~2.5 weeks since the last one. ~2.5Gh/s at the last one now at 4.5Gh/s
I recommend BTCMine if anyone is looking for an alternative pool. Deepbit was who I was with but with that pool pushing near 50% of the network power from time to time and the recent ddos and odd connection issues. I finally broke free from them, having tried it before but other pools where new and in worse shape at that time. Im still down for a XS pool.

[c22]

Well I guess we've got a bunch of specialist here who can take care of the pool

[don_xvi]

where are you seeing this? [that pools are getting attacked all the time]

The big bitcoin forums have posts about some pool or another under DDOS just about all the time.

Okay here's some numbers from one 6990. OC BIOS @ 890MHz. guiminer with -v -w128 -f0, dedicated card.

Dang, I wish I could find ANY HD 6990s. They are never in stock it seems.

Which driver and APP version are you using?

Yup I was pretty lucky to get them. Initially I thought I was stuck with just two (the store had 5 and I was stupid enough to get only two - next day they were sold out lol) but then two others popped up. But they do run veeeeery hot and loud so maybe more rigs with single chip cards is the way to go? I just thought it's the same as for folding: dual cards always are more power efficient. And power is not that cheap here.

11.5 with APP 2.4. Had to go down to standard 880MHz now due to instability. It's propably the heat. Or should I pour in moar volts?!

[WhiteFireDragon]

lol i finally found a block on the BTCguild pool . statistics looks about right, if this were solo mining, one block found = 50 BTC reward. from this pool mining i got paid out 49.6 BTC and found a block.
