I can say with confidence tag.cryptopools.com can be trusted.

In linux you just tell the GPU what to do, and the drivers do the rest. IE, if you want the clock rate to be 1200 or 1400, you simply tell it. No need to run anything else. In windows, you have to use catalyst. However, linux can't undervolt via software, whereas in windows it can. For linux to undervolt, I have to flash the GPU bios with the undervolt setting.

For example if I want to OC my cards and tell them to go from 1130mhz to say, 1800mhz, I simply tell cgminer to flip to 1800mhz.

Usually when there's situations like this (whether it's mining or playing games), it comes down to driver issues based on hardware setups. For instance, most hardware has more driver support on the Windows side by default, due to it having more market share. GPU driver support is even more heavily geared toward the Windows users because most gamers are using Windows.

So it's likely a driver/hardware thing, but Windows has more access to more up to date drivers. I get better hash results in linux/debian (bamt) than I do with windows, probably because my hardware (ASRock 970-EX4 w/ everything disabled but USB and GPU) is 100% what BAMT was built for, so all the built-in drivers are prepped for the hardware.

Using other hardware, it'll be mixed. And when building linux from the ground up, unless you're good at building the drivers (sometimes having to use an old driver, which might take days to figure out) from scratch, it could lead to pulling your hair out.

That's another thing--I disable literally everything on the motherboard (via BIOS), except for the USB ports and built-in ethernet port. This prevents anything unused from taking power, and prevents any "unnecessary" driver issues. SSD is disabled, IDE, Floppy, Serial ports, IR ports, the whole 9 yards.. it's all disabled.

Glad to hear you've got some more hash rates!

What is going on with http://tag.hashfaster.com? No block for a day... Admin check pool!

Tagbond.  I'm no massive fan of Windoze but had the same results as you.  It's just easier to mine efficiently with Windows.  Heaps of support and drivers.  Idiot proof really...

BTW. Don't you think you should change you avatar?  I heart bitcoin as an avatar for the TAG czar?

I am not sure what is up with Bter - The guy that runs it is based in both Canada and China, and he has a few devs that only speak Chinese working from China, but when I was dealing with him a couple months ago to set up trade.tagbond.com with his software he was quite responsive...now from the forums and here it seems he is either not around, or just cannot deal with the all the support. It's one of the reasons why I developed / developing the trade side of Tagbond so we don't have to depend on anyone else.

BTw, have been playing with the mining rigs I have here - I have a machine running windows 8 with 2 x 280x and I get 750 from each, then plugged in the BAMT with 13.12 AMD driver and restarted on that same machine, and only got about 550 with each card, on exactly the same settings...so it's definately an operating system/driver problem..nothing to do with hardware in my case. However, on windows you can use the AMD catalyst center to activate the overclocking, just wondering how that is done via Linux - aticonfig?..

You are not alone I also can't withdraw TAG from BTer, clicking on the withdrawal link gives me "TAG withdrawal is disabled" and some Chinese that I can't read. I withdrew LTC and DTC yesterday so it is only a problem with TAG. I also e-mailed support.

I can't withdraw TAG. There is no answer from email support.  When can I withdraw?

My only regret is not having my current set-up when Fuse first started the pool. Could not agree more, Fuse has set the standard high for any pool admin.

Fuse for President!!!

To be honest, Tagmining.com is the gold standard for TAG pools.  I may be showing a little bias here as for the first week or so there was only me and Fuse mining on the pool.  Talk about high fives when we jagged a block!

I've never encountered a pool op as dedicated as Fuse.  He probably lost quite a bit of money in the first few weeks of the pool to encourage people to join (and a lot of sleep, he was working on the project nearly 24/7). Now that his hard work has paid off and the pool has grown, what does he do?  He thinks first of the coin and the network by deliberately limiting his income to make sure his pool doesn't overwhelm the coin.  If that ain't a gold star on his CV I don't know what is.  

Edit:  I'm a fairly long standing member here whose original account got hacked hence the "2" in my username. My old account had an activity >150.  

 

I'd have to agree with 24Kilo on this one.  The Hashfaster pool and my own were the only two pools to really stay up to date and working for the miners when we had the coin fork a few weeks back.

I would say try Tagmining, but my pool is currently on closed registration. I am going to start working on implementing the invitation system, so in a few days check the pool thread to see if it's done or not.  If it is, hop on and I'll throw you an invite.

In the meantime, I highly recommend throwing your rigs on Hashfaster and mining there.  They run smooth, and the pool OP is an active member in the forums.  You can take a shot at TAG.cryptopool.IT, but as 24Kilo said, the OP hasn't been responsive lately.

I was one of the original TAGminers and Fuse is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best pool admins around. But I left TAGMining for the reason of balancing hashpower and have been mining at TAG.cryptopool.IT with good success. The pool is efficient with good query times, prompt payout etc and etc.

But the admin aka LeftToeCut has been absent and unresponsive which is a worry when the pool went down earlier today. No coins were lost and the pool is back online. The dashboard has been sluggish as well, although since the pool came back online, the site has been very quick and responsive.

I still consider TAGMining my home TAG pool, although at the moment I have 3 of my miners solo mining EarthCoin, I still have one miner pointed at TAG.cryptopool.IT as I type this. So I would say mine this pool with caution and a fail-over in place.

HashFaster has a great pool which was my fail-over when mining at TAGMining and the admin is apparently very good. I mined a Hashfaster when TAGMining was off-line a while back for a few days for an upgrade.

Those are the pools I have personal experience with... hope that helps.

Besides tagmining which other pool for tagcoin can be trusted?

You joined the group!

If TAG remains near the top of the profit stack, the multipools will help out by sucking up a few hashes

centurion76, thank you!

Tagged you.

Welcome any donations for the beginner:

Thanks a lot!

How hard is it to set up a p2pool kind of thing? They have it for both bitcoin and litecoin.

Registrations for Tagmining.com have been closed.  It will remain closed until there is a better spread of hashrate in the Tagcoin network.  I will also be increasing the pool's fees to 2% to encourage miners to spread the hashrate around.

Do not take this as me telling people to leave, but please be smart with keeping the network healthy.

Alert - TAG.cryptopool.IT - Alert

LeftToeCut, the pool admin, has been in automobile accident and the pool is running on auto. He hopes to back in about a week. We all wish him a speedy recovery!!!

TAG.Cryptopool.IT is running fine. Here is a quote from his post over at TAGyak -

"I have been in a car crash. All is good but will stay in the hospital for at least a week, and between understaffed hospitals and holidays , maybe more. The pool is on auto as it is hard for me to do any admin work right now, typing takes ages. It has been running well and will keep running well I hope . Went down a day or so ago due to an old credit card on file. I will update the rest of the forums at a later date. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year everyone!"

I am getting consistent and regular payouts with no issues.

Thanks!
