Topic: [ANN][TAG] TAGMining.Com is now the official pool of Tagcoin! - page 38. (Read 45656 times)

Good catch, thanks for the heads up.  Max payout now 250TAG.

Thanks, mate!

It's saying i've exceeded the pool's tag threshold warning thingy, the payout warning. JFYI.

Hadn't thought to check Ali. Amazon has some but the price has been nuts. Thanks for the Ali link.

Amazon has been getting sporadic shipments of the MSI R9 280x's today. It's been crazy. I put X number in the cart and within seconds before I can finish checkout, the quantity has dropped. I suppose this scrypt mining is catching on with lots of other people now lol.

Newegg.com has risers sold through another vendor

Amazon has a ton if you're in the US, or your able to ship INTL.


AliExpress(alibaba sister site?) has 10 packs

Yeah I need some risers too. I usually get the full 16x-16x ones, but I'll take 1x as long as it lets me hash. If anyone has a source on some, I'd like to know pricing for them in multiples of 12. Thanks.

Also Fuse, I'm interested in scrypt-asic myself. So if you get any word first let me know too. I'm on some mailing lists but havent heard anything lately.

Fuse - I see you invited? the whale back.  Couldn't care less about live stats, that's what F5 is for!!

24Kilo - I couldn't source any risers locally but they came pretty quick from Hong Kong.  I got them $7.50 each.  Now the price gougers on ebay are charging anywhere between $18.00 to $70.00    Easiest way to turn TAG into $$$ is sell them on Cryptsy for BTC and then sell the BTC to coinjar.io who will deposit $AUD into your bank account.

Also...

The whale has come back, and things are looking really good with the live stats disabled.  I don't want to jinx it, but I think we might be ok now.  I might shoot Hashfaster's OP a PM and let him know how to alleviate some of the load.

NP, mate... thanks for sticking around.

That goes for everyone that stuck with the pool through all this.  I said it at the beginning, I just the pool to feel like a community where everyone has a say in how it runs.  I don't want to be the greedy pool op who only cares about padding his wallet.

I just got a sweet deal last week on a 5830, 5850 and a 850W power supply.  So it's not a lot more hashpower, but it's going towards the pool.  If I come across more deals, I'm snatching them up.

I think once Mark gets the currency exchange nailed down on Tagbond, it will be extremely easy to do some money conversion.  At that point I won't have to transfer TAG->BTC->USD just to pay for the pool servers, which is kind of a pain now that I think about it.  I just wish someone like Bitpay would make a debit card backed by BTC.  So when you load your wallet with BTC, you would be able to pay for things in USD with it.  I would pay an addition 10% or something for a card that did that.

As far as the ASICs and FPGA scrypt boxes go, I've had some conversations with members about maybe going down the road of hosting one or two and selling "shares", much like what the big BTC pool farms do.  If it gets to that point, I'd be very interested in hearing peoples opinions of this.

Fuse,

Thanks again for all your hard work. I do not need live stats. What are API calls and what are they used for? Did I just expose my computer illiteracy?!

If I can get the cards, I am planning to bring a dedicated miner online later next week built around a pair of 280X's, and it will be dedicated to this TagCoin and this pool.

I need to start working how to turn TAG into cash to pay some bills, I do not want to dump coins, just sell enough to pay the bills. I know I should not be putting all my eggs into one basket, but I firmly believe that TAG is going to be a success as it has many attributes including a great dev and admin team and more importantly a reason to exist.

Thanks for all your hard work.

For now I'm going to stick with the MPOS layout with the live stats disabled.  I can get why they were bombing the server now.  They basically calculated everyone's stats every 5-10 seconds, so the whale came on and the stats shit the bed.  So unless I migrate over to a dedicated(aka pricey as shit) server solution, which I probably won't do at this time, I'll just leave the stats disabled.  I'd rather take the money the pool makes and give it back to the miners in jackpots.  People can hit F5 or click on the dashboard link over and over if they have to have live stats.  I haven't tested to see if that breaks API calls, so anyone using them, please let me know.  If they still work, they can use that too.

As far as risers go, does Amazon have an AU hub for things other than books?  Other option is to buy one via marketplace here.  There are a lot of Aussie miners hanging around in there it seems.

-Fuse

Fuse,

I was very happy with the old web interface that did not have all the bells and whistles. A fast and responsive server is first priority. And we need to get the pool back to 100% efficiency again.

Again many thanks for all your hard work.

Just thought I would ask, does anyone here know where to get PCI-E riser cables in Australia other than eBay? Preferably in Sydney.

Thanks!

In all seriousness, I did a couple of Apache restarts which probably reset your cookie.  Let me know if it continues to happen.

Not to throw gas on the fire, but I think in the rebuild the auto-logout reverted back to the shorter time.

Snazzy is fine, but faster server is better I switched back to you, let's hope for the best.

Upon further investigation, I have found a lot of references to the querytime issues on the MPOS github.  TheSerapher's recommendation is disabling the live dashboard.  Apparently this causes an insane amount of load on the DB.  There is talk about changing the way these statistics are cached, so I think for now the best bet is to shut it off.  I know it's snazzy and all, but if it improves server response for now, I'm going to do it.

So bring on the whales and let's see what happens.

Omg SPAM 

PM incoming.

Yeah same thing. Upload, bandwifth same thing. how many connections does your server have? 1Gbit? 2 Gbit? and how big is your hosts upload speed? 100mbit or Gbit?

Your software is it running on a Harddisk? Because when i host heavy SQL applications on our LAN-party everything is loaded in a RAMdisk to handle 200 sql connections. Otherwise it bottleneck like hell. Maybe a idea?

It sounds like we need to get together and...


..wait for it


Tag-Team it!

If we can help let us know.

I'm currently consulting with a sysadmin on how to optimize the back-end settings.  I'm hoping that helps, because I can't see having to migrate again.

I felt bad asking the whale to leave, but I'd rather it be stable right now for you guys while I figure this out.  Besides, I'm hoping I can get this working correctly so I can pull Mark into the pool with his incoming 75MH farm he's building.

If I can't get this figured out, I'm going to cry
