Always research about the history of a pool you are putting your precious time and electricity on.

Just a fyi, Netcodepool is mining since late 2012. 75,000 LTC and 1,300,000,000 DOGE have been mined here plus holding a record for not loosing a user's single coin.

Not enough room to do that on my rig.  It's not on a tabletop, rather in a desktop tower case.  The 290X is on the first (physically, the upper) pci-e slot and the 260X sits below it on the second pci-e slot.  Out from the end of the 290X, the hard disk carrier occupies the rest of the space to the front of the case.

I do have an 80 mm fan blowing across the 260X, parallel to the motherboard.  That cools both cards down.   Both cards run at ~80 C when the 290X's fan is on high, and at 75 C when the 290X's fan is on low.  I suppose when I have time I could switch the cards' positions, but then the airflow to the 290X's fan would be restricted by the limited space between the fan intake and the floor of the case.

If I had to build a fresh rig I'd probably go with three 260X's rather than one 290X.  Same hashing power but much quieter.  At Fry's, three 260X's sell for $375+ tax after rebate.  A single 290X nowadays sells for $619 +tax +shipping.  For the $244 difference you can buy an MSI Z87-G43 mb, a cheap Celeron cpu, and a 2 GB ram stick, then run it on Puppy Linux booted from a USB thumb drive.  Add $99 for a Corsair RM 650 power supply.  Then use your first two weeks' income to buy a second 260X for the remaining slot, and you'll end up with the same 605 MH/s hashing power as one 260X plus this frickin' jet aircraft 290X is giving me.

Smalltimeminers was the 2nd largest pool so a lot of you must have mined there.  Is it pretty much concluded they have ran off with our coins?  Anyone know them personally and want to help nudge them to put the site back up so we can at least withdraw our coins.  Something needs to be done about these scam pools, they are stealing not just coins, but coins that result in real money.

Here is the email if anyone else needs it:

I've emailed them and no reply back.  In the past they were quite fast responding.

Ofcourse, but the price is still going down. Steady fall.

Try putting a fan (at least 12cm) right at r290(x) side (near the card fan, 90 degrees to the mainboard), blowing in the card direction. Helped me reducing the noise greatly (it also reduced power consumption, the r290 fan sucks a lot of electricity when turning fast).

Whoops, wrong thread

Works well for me. I have one r9 290X and one r7 260X, using cgminer from 1gh, I'm seeing about 605 MH/s, the calculator says I should be getting 9.0039 MAX per day at current difficulty of 126,116 and 9 MAX is indeed what I'm getting.  Actually, a little less than 9, because whenever I'm sitting at the computer I do

aticonfig --od-enable
aticonfig --odsc 800,650

to turn the 290X's fan down from jet-taking-off to kitchen-stove-fan, so I can hear myself think.  This brings hash rate down to 520 or so.  And then when I go away

aticonfig --odsc 1000,850

for normal speed of 600-640 MH/s.

Price is good.
Maxcoin better than dogi (imho), now.

Nope....

try this https://max.netcodepool.org

...and avoid the block stat %, getting good blocks

this will not fix their web server... if it's not accessible by the ip, it will not be by the name, this way.

Price Growing Again !!!

site not loading

edit your hosts file (google it where to find this file on your computer)
and add the line

this overrules DNS and always points max.smalltimeminer.com to 162.243.123.200 from your pc.
but dont forget to delete this line after they fixed their issue, or you might get problems accessing max.smalltimeminer.com in the future!

https://netcodepool.org works fine, not a SINGLE downtime

If it's set as a name-based virtualhost, then you're out of luck.
Unless it's available as a subdirectory of the main web space: try to look into your web history in order to find clues.
I never used it so I can't do it myself.

No idea. Pools seem to be accessible at 162.243.123.200. I wish I could connect to max.smalltimeminer.com with this ip, but I don't know how to do it.

Ehmm.. any info about the smalltime miner maxcoin pool?

Always use worsed case most miners dump.. also others selling out.

because you do not know how to read. the difficulty has been going up massively over the past few days. the calculator only tells you what you would get if the difficulty rate remained constant and your pool and miners had 100% uptime
