Speaking of which, how would I go about running either my own pool, or running something like p2pool? I'd like to see how it's done, if Fuse doesn't mind. Doesn't mean I'd set one up though ... but 1% or 2% of 50~100 MH/S looks good. I'd probably add my own miner too, since 1% of 100 MH/s is only 1 MH/s and a 4 GPU rig is more than double that already.

Dabs, sorry for the late reply.  I've been sick the last few days, and I haven't been as active as I usually am.

Getting a regular MPOS stratum pool up and running is relatively easy to do if you follow the MPOS instructions to a t.  The only thing you need to remember is that Tagcoin is a POS coin as well, so you need to make sure you get the POS branch of the stratum-litecoin-mining git project.  Other than that, it's just a lot of configuration.  If you aren't running on high-powered servers, dedicated or otherwise, remember to shut off the live stats.  I learned the hard way that they take a toll on your CPU usage, especially if you start pulling a lot of pool workers(not accounts, but workers).

As far as P2Pool goes, I've never tried.  I would guess it would be as easy as setting up the wallet, pointing the p2pool service at the wallet, and testing it out.  I'll take a look and see how hard it would be.  I'll report back with what I find.

Edit- Dabs, take a look at https://github.com/forrestv/p2pool.  Pretty straight forward on the setup, assuming you some general knowledge in the services used.  If you decide to go down that road, and need some help, let me know.

Part of a coin's safety, longevity and value, is how safe it is from such attacks.

All the more reason for more folks to mine tag Smiley

Exactly. The only reason to attack the network is to attempt a major double spend.

Well, another reason is to manipulate the price so they can buy TAG at a very low price. Why bother tho, they can just mine it normally.

There's nothing that merits a double spend now. Not yet.

51% attacks don't make financial sense. It's all theory. That goes for all coins, including bitcoin.

Case in point, Fuse, do you know what to do? Not in theory, but to actually carry out an attack.

Not at all... which is why I opened registration back up even though we were running as the top pool and growing last week.  Besides, it would be absolutely pointless to attack the very coin I have spent so much time backing and working on a pool for.  I'm guessing it's the same for the botpool op.

Someone here has 550 MH/s. The so called 51% attack, requires someone to actually attack the network. In practice, he'd need maybe 70+% and a sustained effort, and everyone would notice because there will be a fork.

That's also on the assumption that you know how to attack it.

It is more profitable to just mine normally even if you have 90% of the network.

I've finished preliminary testing. It does very well in my mining rack, I like it. We'll see how long it lasts, I hope it's a workhorse like the MSI series has been.

800kh is achievable without so much as a sweat, 750-760kh is also not an issue and uses stock clocks. Lots of flexibility.

Looks like the manufacturers have re-thought their coolers for the R9 series, and they perform "properly" (as I deem it) in open case designs. Mixed results in closed-case. Much better than the stock 79xx coolers.

I wanted to say congrats to this weeks jackpot winners on Tagmining.Com.  I gave away 120TAG this week, split between 3 miners.  Remember that Sunday at midnight starts the new week's count, so you've got some time to get an account created and point a miner at the pool for next Saturday's jackpot drawing.


Just got 24 Tagcoins, thank you very much  Shocked
Never thought I can win. I started with just one 7850 and was buying others during couple week. BTW, it was not easy Wink

Isn't this pool close to breaching 51%? Someone might need to warn them to stop taking in extra miners.

They've hit 500MH+ before.  From what I'm told, 51% doesn't matter unless someone decides to do something malicious with it.  So as long as the pool OP is legit, and the pool is secure, we're ok... from what I'm told.

Toxic GPU info
Also, for those of you that are running Toxic cards, Vesperwillow is recording some interesting numbers on settings, speed and wattage in the post here:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.4188368

So thanks to Vesperwillow for taking the time to test these cards out!

I've heard great things about the TOXIC series, so I'm looking forward to trying them out.

The only thing I read that worries me about the toxics is that they run a little more power hungry.  I accounted for that with my PSU, but I'll be keeping an eye out for when people undervolt them and get better results than the stock settings.  So just a heads up with trying to pack a bunch of them into a tight window of wattage.

-Fuse

Yeah testing one out now on a 600w psu, going to see what settings work nicely. Would like to see KH before/after undervolting, so if you find any good links post them up. I don't mind saving wattage if I don't lose a lot of KH

My toxics are getting 750KH with the 1080/1500/TC 8192 settings on Windows 7.  I didn't feel like going any further with messing around with them, but they are solid at those speeds at about 68-70 degrees.  I'm guessing you would have yours cool enough to have a colony of penguins on  Grin.

LOL.. that would be nice. Things are running between 53 and 76, depending on which rack the GPU is sitting. And on if there's a temperature gremlin nearby. One thing is for sure, I'm prepared for summer.

I'm interested in trying the 1800 memclock setting you posted in that link Dabs, but that's one hell of an overclock.  I think in a month or two you'll find someone that pushes them to 850kh.  I remember when I got my 7950s and people were amazed I got 600kh on them.  A few months later I found the settings to get them to 640kh while undervolting them.  Give it time, and someone will have these 280Xs mastered.

I tried 1800 on my MSI's, didn't do anything, on one of them it slowed it down. I'm near my power limit on that particular system, so that might be part of it. I've heard great things about the TOXIC series, so I'm looking forward to trying them out. I was lucky, I just happened to be near a screen when I saw the amazon window refresh and show several in stock. 1-click buy-it-now snagged the quantity I desired, and about 2 seconds later they were all gone.

Got a shipment of the TOXIC 280x's hitting my doorstep tomorrow and monday, I'll see how they do.

Still waiting on Gigabyte to ship me theirs. Lazy bums.

@tagbond, I'll still buy it, I don't care if it uses Windows (actually, I prefer Windows.) It will not be doing anything but mining anyway.

Nice link Dabs. I spent time prior to that thread, figuring out my MSI R9 280x settings. Seems like the best ones (for my cards) are TC 24000, ENG 1080, MEM 1500. Anything else and the card doesn't do well. Seems like these new R9 cards have far more personality to each individual one than the previous 79xx series. Seeing lots of variation out there.

At the moment, I can only get mining working well at 750 each car if the system is running windows. Tried most flavors of Linux (BAMT which is Debian, Lubuntu, Xubuntu, Ubuntu) and I either have problems with the drivers (13.12 latest) or the hash speeds won't go past 550). Thought it might be a problem with motherboard (Gigabyte Z87) and not being able to overclock the GPUs there, but there is nothing on the board to enable that... so I am at a loss now.. good thing it is just a hobby..Smiley

Hey guys, this thread shows that someone can get 800 KH/S on R9 280x

Here is the specific post

We set it 6 decimal places, but we can always change that due to demand. Same for transaction fees. Will look at that on next release...
