From the doge thread, I don't think they realize the hashpower here but something to watch out for.

multipool & middlecoin is killing us.

They autosell every doge mined, it will have such negative influence on our currency Sad

Any idea for taking both out of the way? DDoS'ing them is possible?

anyone who has experience running ubuntu?

Recently had to use an older computer for my cards, running ubuntu 12.10 32bit with 2gb ram and cgminer 3.5.0, using the latest drivers from amd. I have a 6950 and a 6970 but only getting around 500 kh/s with both cards combined, compared to 900-1000 I had when running on a win 7 64bit 8gb ram computer (also 3.5.0).

I don't have any special settings, just the pool information and an intensity of 19, no hardware errors, GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
and GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 has been set.

export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

Make sure your running those commands before every cgminer starts
May want to look into setting your thread concurrency on each card to see if that helps

Good thread to help get you running - www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1fb5qs/step_by_step_headless_linux_setup_from_scratch/

Thanks for the help, though I have tried most of that. The undervolting guide is unfortunately only for 7xxx cards, but I solved that by using AMDOverdrive, while at the same time overclocking the card. Thing is they have a lower hashrate overclocked on the ubuntu than they had on the windows machine on stock settings, I tried settings various thread concurrencies and work sizes but it doesn't make a difference. As of now the 6970 is on around 360 kh/s, and the 6950 around 300 kh/s, compared to 505 and 420 while on the windows machine.

Edit: I tried severely undervolt and underclock the 6970 and the hash went up with about 50, thinking there is something fishy with my settings

Firstly let voltages on their defaults (You can lover voltages later when everything will run smoothly) and find best HR peak by setting default clocks on both CORE/RAM and then increasing (or even decreasing) them by 10 MHz on the fly, while CGminer run. Some cards do their best underclocked a bit and some do even better with the same engine / memory clocks.

did pretty much this, worked much better. Strange that I didn't experience these issues when I overclocked in windows.

Oh well, all is well, thanks people.

I do not have a lot of experience, but I believe (with scrypt) you need to have at least as much system ram as gpu ram.

I have 4 gb ram for my three 7970 cards (9 gb gpu ram) and everything is working fine.

If you continued to mine DOGE for say, 48-72+ hours, would there ever be a time where the system pays us out if the round just keeps going and going for days on end, or do we have to wait for the whole round, even if it takes several days, to complete?

Thanks!

There have been artificial breaks in the rounds to make sure payouts happen. If you look back at the last 24 hours you can see that the admins have done this & that DOGE have been every other round.

We've had doge rounds varying between 2 and nearly 8 hours. It doesn't look like the breaks are particularly artificial unless there's something else going on to trigger them.

My question for atriz/nearmiss: Does the trading of coins start before a round ends? On a round a like that 7 hour 46 minute one last night when there's plenty of time for coins to mature, do you start sending coins to exchanges and trading them before the round ends or does the system just sit on them until the round is over?

I have heard that Linux is more difficult to use the overclocking tools than Windows. Also, if you have any questions on what others are getting, I would check https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison. I suspect it's the driver version you're using in combination with the SDK version. If you're running a ATI HD 7xxx series GPU, you'll want SDK 2.8 but if you're not, I hear 2.6 is the way to go.

I don't personally own or run anything other than ATI HD 7xxx series GPUs, just giving some suggestions. Good luck!

I'm running BAMT with 1GB memory and 2 x R9-280X cards. No need for ram, only needs the memory on the cards themselves.

I thought so, I just can't for the life of me figure out what's wrong, also finding it ridiculously hard to try different drivers, often making the computer unable to boot at all (need to uninstall it via a terminal during bootup to even get to the desktop again).

I thought so too, but I read a lot of posts and guides that stated 2 gb was fine if you ran ubuntu, even when using three cards.

I might be horribly wrong though, anyone that could confirm?
