Topic: [ANN][TAG] TAGMining.Com is now the official pool of Tagcoin! - page 34. (Read 45656 times)

Grats, totmacher.

I wanted to ask the active miners what they think about something.  It seems that unless we get more dedicated miners, we're going to have roughly the same group of people on the jackpot list every week.  Should I set the rule that if you win one week, you can't win the next week?  You could of course win the week after that though.

Pretty straight forward change... any ideas/concerns?

I'm all over fans and cooling pages now lol... you two got me thinking farms instead of rigs.

Awesome, thanks for the work.


Well, now you have some suggestions to try out next time you place an order

2nd Jackpot

Alrighty folks, here's the info:

There were 444 total rounds for the week.  To be eligible for this jackpot, you would have needed to submit shares to 75% of those rounds, equaling 333 rounds.  There were 15 people, including myself, who qualified for the jackpot.  This was out of 195 miners who mined on the pool this week.  The qualifying miners are as follows:

AFKMPEG
elloi
flywin
jebshka
johndec
kubur
mevecco
Namamonkee
ny2cafuse (not eligible of course)
TagCoinDaddy
TagThePinkPanther
totmacher12000
vesperwillow
wujizhu

This week's jackpot was a double jackpot purse carried over from last week due to the server issues we were having.  This week's and last week's total fees and donations equal roughly 175TAG.  I'm putting up 25TAG to round it out to 200TAG.  So half of that, the total jackpot purse, is 100TAG.  This might seem low compared to the first jackpot, and the fact that we've grown substantially.  However, the first jackpot covered 2 weeks of mining with a higher donation percentage from our early adopters and myself, and a 50TAG pay in by me to pad the wallet for the first couple weeks.  So going forward we should roughly be around a 100TAG jackpot payout.  If we are short, I will pay in to round it up to 100TAG, and if it is higher, I will leave it as is.

This week's winners are as follows:

1st place - totmacher12000  50TAG  - 2d12793fa014b7762c2d6792df5ff8853528ec9990a2d83fe8326361c4677e5a
2nd place - AFKMPEG           30TAG  - c12cca6f7061ac1bee8a68e6d9d211a4712fa747029b47b345b771822e88381e
3rd place - kubur                 20TAG  - 812c8df8d7f4a053698a4f4b17260057ce903bc7b18ebccb4e4d08b79ea09bc6


Payments will be sent shortly, and TXID numbers will be posted above.

Congratulations, miners!  Good luck to everyone next week!

I just picked up some of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186079 I wish I would have seen these before I did  I was also thinking about picking up these http://www.frozencpu.com/products/21921/fan-383/Scythe_Slip_Stream_120mm_x_25mm_Fan_-_1900_RPM_SY1225SL12SH.html?tl=g36c435s1104

Changed to a standard line that points to this thread and forum.



Added confirmed/unconfirmed/orphaned balances to the getuserstatus API call.  It just took me a little while to find where the heck they were hiding.  Well it didn't take me that long once I realised I should have just searched for them in the github repo to begin with (/facepalm).  It has been a long week!

So ready for the next two weeks off.  Spent all my vacation time, but it will be worth it.

Haha nice Your dedication is paying off.

http://tagmining.com/index.php?page=contactform <-- that should point to this forum, as a suggestion.

We were at ~80MH this morning... I just got back from doing some work orders around the district, and came back to see this.  The Friday before I'm taking 2 weeks off for Xmas vacation and my birthday.  This made my year.  I'm really happy right now 

I want to thank everyone for sticking with me through the downtime and issue we've had.  You guys are what make this pool what it is, so congrats to all of you.

I'm going to go try to wipe this smile off my face before I hurt my face muscles lol.

Loving this low difficulty rate too.. in the low 20's.

Lol, glad you liked it. I really love them.

Some elbow grease, a few bucks, and bob's your uncle--great cooling.

Damn, Vesper... I'm going to have to start paying you for all this schooling.  U of Vesper.

Thanks, mate!

Grabbed a couple of these to give them a shot: Prolimatech Ultra Sleek Vortex 14. They're 140mm, but only 15mm thick, so very slim. According to the specs, they're 0.1db quieter (18db) than the other ones I'm running, and they push 10CFM more air per fan.

I've got a couple of cards which, despite all efforts, just want to act silly and run hotter than the rest. I popped a pair of these on and moved the GPU more into the cold-air path, and dropped 5*C. Not bad. I'm sure part of that is being closer to the cold air, but I'd say the combined 20CFM of extra airflow definitely helps.

Cost twice as much as the Blue Vortex series, and the standard fan clips don't work (have to modify them a bit), so I can't see using them as the primary fan for my setup--but they certainly have a use. I'll get a few more just to have on hand.

Figured I'd share my experience.

Let me know when you need that veggie crate... I have a few spares.

Yeah definitely. Hell I don't even need them to have coolers on them if it saves money haha

I agree with you 100% on the price thing.  I cringed ordering those 280xs from Newegg, but my pops wanted to move on a rig ASAP.  We'll make ROI no problem, but it will haunt me lol.

I emailed a distributor on Alibaba on those pre-branding GPUs... I'll see what they say about price and quantity.  If I can buy them direct, I'm just going to start going that route.  I don't need them to say Sapphire on the shroud.  I just need them to mine.  I'll let you know what they say.

Congrats on the increased hash power guys

For me, finding a 280x isn't an issue. Finding it for a price I like, is the issue. I refuse to pay $100..$200 over MSRP. $15, maybe $50 over if it's my precious MSI series. But nowhere beyond that..

Newegg and Tigerdirect seem to be on the 'well screw it, we will charge $100..$200..$300 over msrp' bandwagon. So I just keep refreshing Amazon's in-stock, and hitting 1-click-buy LOL

Damn you guys and your hashing power.  I've got 2.3MH incoming if Newegg would confirm my order and not think it's a fraud order.  Stupid, Newegg.  I made the damn purchase... now give me my stuff.

I've run into an issue with the liquid assets from last week's server issues.  Somewhere in the transfer to the new server, the liquid assets went from like 75-80TAG to 10TAG.  So either some users got double payouts, or the funds are still floating around in the DB unaccounted for.  Not a big deal right now.  I'll move some of my funds over to the pool jackpot fund to cover the double payout this week.  When TAG hits a bajillion dollars a coin though, I'm hunting down that 80TAG.

Bugger.  You snooze, you lose.  IJK were showing a good stock of Sapphire Vapor 280x's yesterday.  Just checked... all gone.  Doesn't matter, they still have some 270x's which I would actually be more comfortable with adding to my 2nd miner.  A 280x would have pushed the PSU close to its limit.  Might grab one of them and in the new year build a 3rd miner with a (24Kilo trademarked) veggie crate.   

John,

Good luck finding a 280X... I may have a 280X that I do not need... If you want it... let me know... I will put your name on it if it comes up for grabs... reshuffling things here abit.
