That first block was painful lol... the worst luck ever.
I have a question for you guys... do any of you mine enough to be able to quit working if you wanted to. I don't make a whole hell of a lot at work, and I did the math to figure out that I could make more mining at about 8MH a month. I'm not much of a mine and sell kind of guy, but that's really tempting.
Any input from anyone?

Cograts Fuse. As they say, "From little things, big things grow". For those that don't know, Fuse found the first block on the pool. I couldn't believe it because at the time as I was the pool "whale" with a massive 1.5MH/s 
From memory, I think I found the next 4 or 5 blocks but I can't take away his claim to fame!!
Ahh, memories..

Just to let you guys know...
Since it has been open, the pool has generated over
50,000TAG!!!
Keep up the good work, miners!
Now if I could only generate 50,000TAG for myself lol........

you can use TAG as a reward for your website/business/crack house/ whatever.. 
LMAO... I should take a trip out to Colorado and try to sell the new recreational marijuana shops on using TAG rewards lol. It would make the news instantly.

what can I do with tags?
Here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-tagcoin-multi-token-wallet-and-trading-platform-317408 is a (so far) 94 page thread about TAG.
To summarise it, you can mine and sell TAG just like any other coin or you can use TAG as a reward for your website/business/crack house/ whatever..
I recommend you read at least the first few pages of the above thread. The developer of the coin really has some big plans for it. January 03, 2014, 12:33:04 AM

Was that the 1GB or 2GB model, for speed?
1GB model. Consider it the new 5850 at a higher clock speed.
January 02, 2014, 09:06:59 PM
Anyone here ever try Gigabyte 1GB 7850's?
You'll get 350 out of them, so a little more than 2kh/$ with what Newegg is selling them for. The 2 fan design isn't as killer as the 3 fan design, but they're good cards. However, if you can find them(they pop up every now and then), you're better off buying 5850s in the forums at half the cost. I've been able to find used 5850s for < $75.
But the 7850s are stellar. And Gigabyte is known for a trade up on an RMA when the model is discontinued(7950s are getting 280Xs in return right now).

Thanks... I am finding the admin side of things a tad overwhelming... keeping track of .bat files, logs, wallets, .confs... I really need to become more organised and efficient.
Once you get it under control, it's cake. I have offline wallets, and I have an 'offline' computer for doing wallet work. I go online with it when I need to. My mining payments go to wallets which aren't kept online.
As to the mining rigs, it's all automated. If they have power, they start mining. I simply log in to switch pools. I have remote windows open for all my systems, and they stay open 24/7 so I can see what the situation is all the time. My primary computer has 6 (sometimes 7) monitors, and 2 of them have these status windows open. i can also monitor my mining status and earned income status via my mobile. I use an app called cryptcoin monitor, very handy.
I'm sure most of your systems are setup similarly. You will be a pro in days, I have no doubt!
I am pretty lucky... our house is wired with 3phase with a 600AMP service... so I have pretty much unlimited power as long as I can pay for it.
I am absolutely jealous. I can't express this enough.
What is your total Mh/s or is that a secret?
At present: I have about 9.5mh online right now. Another 1.5mh is offline (waiting for motherboards which are inbound)
Upcoming: Another 5Mh is waiting to be shipped. And I'm hoping to order 2-6 more Toxic cards in the next few days, depending on what Amazon gets in stock, or I might order from that taiwanese dude Fuse and I have talked to.
I am happy to sell cards for TAG or BTC... I could ship you 4 cards for about $80USD... not sure what price you are paying for cards... but I have yet to spend more than $400AUD for any card.. Dual-X's are $360AUD... Gigabytes were $385AUD... the prices are going up... I was going to pay $395AUD for the ASUS cards, but got the Dual-X instead.
Keep me in mind if you go to sell them. That shipping price isn't as bad as I thought.
January 02, 2014, 09:06:27 AM
A big high-five to my down-under buddy! That's awesome man.
I'm going to add 1, maybe 2, more systems at my house now, but it depends on my power capabilities. I can put more in other locations if need be. I'm looking into some local office space to see if I can find a plate with flate rate electricity which will allow me to pull 40..60..80 amps continuously lol.

Just did a 7 hour miner install marathon... built 2 new rigs and rebuilt 2 rigs... updated drivers all around... installed a new 24 port switch... few other things that I cannot remember as it is now 01:00 here... but online with a solid 7.5Mh/s in dedicated rigs and an effective 9Mh/s when the 2 PC's are included... nipping at Vesper's heels!!!
So much to learn and do... learn Linux... study and understand encryption and security for the miners, network and data... securing and storing wallets and coins... trading... a full-time job!!!
Anyway... having a lot of fun... learning heaps... hopefully making a little profit... stockpiling a large amounts of computer gear... so can't complain too much!!!
So there are now 5 veggie crate miners!!!

Looking into getting 2-3 of the R9's which 280x would you suggest?
Sapphire Toxic 280x (the one you were testing right?)
Gigabyte R928XOC-3GD/3G
ASUS R9280X-DC2-3GD5
or 290
Gigabyte R929D5-4GD-B
You have any experience with these cards?
Thanks!

I only use 280X's...
Sapphire cards are my preferred card at this point... just bought 3 more Sapphire Dual-X's this afternoon... 2 more 1.5Mh/s rigs coming online in the next few hours.
Gigabyte cards are good.. both Rev 1 and Rev 2... but I have not been able to get them above 722Kh/s... and it is not for trying... very stable hash-rate but not as stable as the Sapphires which vary maybe .5Kh/s or so...
I was supposed to be getting a pair of Asus cards today, but got the Sapphires instead. My MSI cards have been my poorest performers at 715Kh/s.
I want to buy a set of ASUS next just to see how they perform... probably will sell my MSI card and some of my Gigabyte cards as quickly as I can replace them with Sapphire cards. Would love to get my hands on some Toxics... just not available for a decent price here in Australia.
I'd offer to buy those from you but the shipping would probably suck.

Reporting back on the TOXIC, it's still going for days at 800kh+ with 0 issues. I just popped the Prolimatech cooler on it this afternoon. As expected it's doing well, keeping the temps a couple degrees cooler than the stock. The biggest benefit: Pure silence, and it'll withstand the hot summers as well.
It was a bit of a pain doing the cooler swap compared to the MSI's. What I like about the MSI's is you leave the stock VRM plate on the PCB, and just add the stick-on heatsinks. Very quick and easy.
With the TOXIC, there's more to take apart (an entire rear heatsink), and you have to place the stick-ons on each chip. Not a big issue but it adds time and complexity. Also the VRM cooling sink isn't as large as the MSI so I'm wondering about that, but I guess time will tell.

I have experience with the MSI 280X and the TOXIC 280x. Other folks here have used the other cards you mention.
I've had great results with both cards. The MSI's seem to give 730-740 without issue for me, with some slight variation in hash. The TOXIC has been giving a solid 800+ with very little variation. It cost me $60 more per GPU than the MSI. If you're keeping the stock coolers, the MSI is much quieter and they both run about the same temperature.
