TO is still better than a lot of places outside North America I think. I'm in Edmonton and mine is roughly 9-10 cents/kWh WITHOUT the additional fees which bumps it up to more like 14-15 cents/kWh.

How is it in TO? I haven't lived there in 5 years so I don't know how it is there anymore.

It's cause the power draw is simply redic for the kh/s.
A single 780 is probably pulling twice as much power as his 7950 for the same kh/s.

I understand that. I bought the Sapphire HD 7950 3GB deal that was posted yesterday on this thread. It already shipped and I'm expecting it soon. What's the best possible setup I could make for that card? I haven't explored much because all I had mining until now were a couple of HD 6950s with 1 GB.

Edit: By setup I mean OC and/ or cgminer settings. Looking it up on google I see loads of different recommendations.

How about 30 cents USD per kWh WIHOUT the extra delivery charges included? Yeah.. you guys have it good.

Damn socialist/environmental propaganda here in the past years have made our government put in carbon taxes and massive green energy targets, users are subsidizing solar panels since utilities are forced to buy back solar power generated by homes at ridiculous rates. Now they just all recently woke up and realize its all a scam and the current government was voted in power to undo all the mess and make power cheap again, helping our economy remain competitive.

Depends entirely on what your card likes.

I used the default settings in GUIMiner to great effect, towards the end I started experimenting more and found one of my cards really enjoyed sky high thread concurrency... like 45k.

Alright, seems like I will need to do some experimenting to gauge what can work for me.
 
I'm in TVA land... last bill was at $0.0816/kWh.

On a side note, my Powercolor 7870 Myst that I got for $20 (not a typo, traded a handful of 2gb sticks of ram and a $20 bill for it) has been repaired and is working. Took a gamble on a dead card with an Acelero Extreme II + Stock Heatsink to boot, have myself a nice working quiet little card.

Nice deal. I'm assuming it's hashing.........
 
he guys I did a very dumb thing I transferred my doge wallet coins to vircurex to my DGC address and not my DOGE address. I've sent a support email. Is this fixable?

Thanks

God I love when that happens. Especially if I can fix it... good feeling ......and profitable. :biggrin:

Setting up a NXT account/forger on 1 of my miners. I don't completely trust it for some reason on my main computer.

I tried tweaking my rigs earlier, but I can't get them much higher than ~560KH for my Sapphire 7970 (102-c38608-00-at, red & black single fan model) and ~580KH a piece for my 2x Gigabyte WF3 7950 (revisions 2 & 7(??) or something like that). I tried tweaking the memclocks and gpuclocks to the "magic ratios" like all the guides out there insist on, but can't get anything close to even lower 600's on intensity 13. They swear up and down ~730 is normal or some shit. I will try and flash the BIOS on the 7950's. I think the rivision 2 can take the magical "F43" BIOS.

The problem is that once I mess with gpu and memclock values I can never go beyond intensity 13 without the hashrate comepletely collapsing to like 300kh. So it's easier, more stable and the hashrate is the highest when I dont do any flags on cgminer except intensity... like 17, 18 or 19.

700s are quite easy on the 7970 undervolted, what OS and how much ram do you have? Have you tried 1050/1500, -g 2, tc 8192, i 13

7950 at tigerdirect for $249-$25 (TD clearance rebate) -$20 (card rebate). Run, don't walk, and don't use shoprunner since it seems to cause the price to skyrocket to $439.

Edit: TD link may be dead, but Amazon is also selling it for $229 (through TD):

(Quoting myself...) Congrats to those that got one. Mine shipped today. 🙂

More doge/lotto/blahblah/insertcoinhere for me!

Win7 4gb. Why go for such a low TC when it's really like 22400?

What do you use to undervolt: msi afterburner or sapphire trixx? What values?

Ill try those flags in a sec. GF just fell asleep! 🙂

Yeah. This got me a wopping 400kh.

Undervolted to 1100 with MSI afterburner.
 
hmm that's weird, tc high doesn't mean better for me. Sometimes it produces more stales. I have a sapphire 7970 at 1.000 at 950 and 1500 hashing at 650 khash, I prefer less voltage over the extra 50-70 khash. My asus 7970 is locked and you can try rbe and atiwinflash to flash different bios. I guess it also depends on what sdk and drivers you use but 400 is very low. I like msi afterburner.
 
What's everybody mining now? I've been on LOT for a day or so but it looks like it's at parity with DOGE at the moment.
