Can someone tell me how solo mine this with gpu,i have sapphire r9 280x,windows 8.1..?..thx
Download any mining program that uses the quark algorithm. I personally use sgminer v5. -

http://www.bitquark.info/wallet.phpIm not sure how windows 8 does folder architecture but i can explain how it works in windows 7.
Install and sync up your bitquark client. After its synced up, close it. Then go into C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\BitQuark.
This is where we will create a file called "bitquark.conf". First we will create a new text document, i usually call it "conf.txt". In this new txt file paste the following and feel free to replace "user" and "pass" in the first two lines with anything you like. You will need to remember those for later.

After you have that file created and saved, we will save it again, but this time it will create the bitquark.conf that we need. File -> Save as.. Then under the 'Save as type' dropdown bar, choose All files (*.*). Name this "bitquark.conf" and save. You now have your bitquark.conf file and a txt version of it thats easier to read incase you forget your username or pass.
Alright bitquark is set up and ready to go, now we configure your miner. Extract the sgminer-5.0 zip to your desktop. Open the extracted folder and this is where we will create a .bat file that will control how the mining program knows what you are trying to mine.
Create a new text document again. My batch file looks something like this. You will be replacing the -u and -p with whatever you used in your bitquark.conf file that we created. The "-I 18 -g 1 -w 128" in my file is what works for me because im using a lowly 5850, but you will need to do some research and experimenting to figure out what works for your card.
Anyway, once you have that copied and edited to match your user and pass we will save it as a batch file. File -> Save as.. Then under the 'Save as type' dropdown bar, choose All files (*.*). Name this "BTQSOLO.bat" and save.
Now we start up the bitquark client and run BTQSOLO.bat. You should be mining. It might be a good idea to download MSI Afterburner to monitor your GPU temp / control fan speed. Its a bad idea to let your GPU run hotter than 70c. Well, the running temp is up for debate but i try not to let mine run hotter than 70c for long periods.
