GoldCoin Discussion / Move the market
« on: April 02, 2014, 02:51:18 PM »
With income tax refunds arriving in the US, I started wondering what would happen if someone buys 100K of GLD (about $1000 USD).  Would one person lift the price?  10 people?  And would moving the market like this grab positive attention for Goldcoin?

GoldCoin Discussion / Re: the dip is starting to hurt

I feel like you cannot do the math based on today's rates.  For example, a couple of years ago I was mining BTC with a single 4850 GPU but stopped when "all" I could get was 0.3 BTC per day, thinking I was losing money.  D'oh!

When mining, you really have to look further down the road at a more optimistic rate when calculating ROE!

Mining & Pools / Monitor multiple mining rigs and GPUs at once
« on: January 24, 2014, 10:56:27 PM »
I'd like to share a command line tool I wrote to make it easy to monitor multiple remote (cgminer) mining rigs and many GPUs with one call.  It takes advantage of cgminer's RPC interface, polls your rigs on the network and consolidates statuses into one table on your console.

I've tested it on Linux, FreeBSD and Windows 7.  (hint for Windows: widen your console under cmd's properties).

It requires Python 2.x which comes standard on most Linux distributions and BSDs, but you'll have to install it if running on Windows.

If you're interested, get the latest on GitHub:   https://github.com/peterjpierce/minerapi

It's an early version and I'd love feedback.  Please let me know how it goes, escpecially on a Mac which I have not tried yet.

Mining & Pools / Re: Newbee with a mining rig build can't get working!

Please try adding this parameter:
  --gpu-threads 2

This made a huge difference for my 280x cards, and they are similar in architecture to yours.

For what it is worth, here are my settings (this is part of a Linux shell script so not directly usable, but you can still glean the config):

$miner --scrypt -o ${proto}://${pool} -u $worker -p $pass \
  --temp-target 75 --auto-gpu --auto-fan --gpu-fan 0-100 \
  --intensity 13 --worksize 256 \
  --gpu-threads 2 \
  --thread-concurrency 8192 \
  --gpu-memclock 1484 \

GoldCoin Discussion / What differentiates GoldCoin?
« on: December 23, 2013, 09:42:41 AM »
What differentiates GLD from the rest, and gives us confidence in its long-term success?  I enjoy the community and have a miner dedicated to the cause, and am currently pondering talking points to draw in more folks.

Some things that come to mind include:
  - appealing name
  - active development team (that interacts with the community)
  - new and better client coming soon
  - safeguards from 51% exploits
  - friendly community
  - low difficulty and price (opportunity to get in on the ground floor)
  - MicroGuy's webcasts!

What other things make us stand out from the pack?

I have done their verifications, but have not actually traded any BTC.  I am holding those bad boys for the long term!!

Newbie Central / another majestic noob
« on: November 30, 2013, 11:57:52 AM »
Hello Everyone,

I just joined these forums in response to MicroGuy's majestic video invitation (E8ExQSG25PdDygjGrFWTUGjCfek1nBP7yw, thank you!).

I am impressed by this community and want to help GLD succeed!  I have some Linux system / Python / Ruby / Perl / database / git / blah / blah skills, and can pitch in if needed.  Just let me know.

Pete
