Dump you premined ETH and keep BTC. BTC is going to boom very soon!

I am not convinced of this at all. BTC is stagnant.

Bitcoin is stagnant at the moment. But the price will rise soon because of the halving. It could double.

Yes it is stagnant because it is been accumulated to skyrocket as halving is nearing!

I've built my first mining rig made with 4x 390x and 2x 280x.  I've plugged in one 390x via a 16x - 16x riser, and plugged in both 280x via 1x - 16x USB riser.  But, Windows 7 doesn't recognize either of the 280x's.  Neither do they light up or seem to power on when I start the rig up (unlike the 390x of course).  In the device manager, I see an entry called "Other devices", and listed under that is "Unknown Device".  I'm wondering if that is my 280x gpus.  Does anyone know, do I need a special driver to be installed in order to power/use a gpu connected via 1x - 16x risers?  Any help would be great, I really want to get this thing hashing Cheesy Thanks!

I found somewhere that win 7 only allow only 4 cards at same time, win 8 allow 5 cards. I wonder if someone knows the way to make win 7 work with more than 4 cards. I didn't make it work. One was always unrecognised.

If you can disable any of the monitor out puts on your card then in theory you should be able to run more.

Some cards have software them let you turn off the outputs. Some have extra pins so you can turn them off.

Short of that, there might be a command in the registry that lets you decide how the GPU's are timed but I would only look into this if you know what you're doing

NO it does NOT..

I run a bunch of them with 5 GPU's each with no problems using USB 1x to 1x Risers.
You only need to plug in 1 GPU to the monitor so you can see what's going on. After it's all set and automated, no need to plug anything in.
Use a remote desktop software like teamviewer or gotopc, etc...

Make sure you're using a GOOD power supply and plug in the MOLEX cable into the Mobo.


I use platinum power supply as my power consumption is very high for each rig. So save some electricity.

The platinum power supply will save about 2% electricity against a gold one. So if your farm is big, you will save.

I've built my first mining rig made with 4x 390x and 2x 280x.  I've plugged in one 390x via a 16x - 16x riser, and plugged in both 280x via 1x - 16x USB riser.  But, Windows 7 doesn't recognize either of the 280x's.  Neither do they light up or seem to power on when I start the rig up (unlike the 390x of course).  In the device manager, I see an entry called "Other devices", and listed under that is "Unknown Device".  I'm wondering if that is my 280x gpus.  Does anyone know, do I need a special driver to be installed in order to power/use a gpu connected via 1x - 16x risers?  Any help would be great, I really want to get this thing hashing Cheesy Thanks!

on windows you need to connect each gpu to monitor, or you should put jumper.

like these

EDIT: btw there are also some technical spec of the MB ie : plugging on Pci no.x will disable Pci no.y

EDIT2 : i see that the unrecognized is gpu is connected via 1x-16x, maybe it need jumper ?

Hmmm ok thanks.  This is the MB I bought for the rig:

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/H81%20Pro%20BTC/

Think it needs jumper on the pci slots like shown?  If so, will any copper wire do?  I don't have spare telephone wires or anything to make use of...would have to go buy some wire to make the jumper.

Hi, Im new to ethereum Ive downloaded the wallet but its just blank I tried opening it and closing it as some others have tried but nothing, Ive been running it for about 3 or 4 hours (machine 8 core 8GB ram win7) should it change itself once synced? I wondered if one of the Devs could put a bootstrap on here http://cryptochainer.com/dir/ to speed up the whole process? cheers

I am new (about a week) to ETH too and I had the same problem with v6.2.  Someone suggested trying version 5.2 and that worked.  However, I later tried 6.2 on a different machine and that worked (no white screen).  I have no idea what the problem is but obviously multiple people have had it so there must be something.  Also, do not assume you are downloading blocks.  You could be stuck and nothing is happening.  I have posted my experiences several times.  The wallet sync is taking forever because I have to stop and start the wallet every 15 minutes.  Could be my setup but I have tried two machines and I am getting similar results.

Hey bitbollox, it will take time to dl the blockchain. Give it some more time and see if it starts working as intended. Otherwise close the client and start it again in case it has got stuck.
I do recall that on my old mac it took a really long time to sync up as well, but once the blockchain was downloaded it worked nicely.
