Good to know, I’ve always prefered nvidia, even though their linux drivers are closed source they actually tended to work.

Given how aweful nvidia has been to the opensource comunity though I don’t feel bad making my switch to ATI for good now.
Finally managed to get my new r9 290x hashing on linux last night at around 850 (untweaked, my first GPU-miner).

My first ATI card ever… games pretty well too but then anything from nvidia for £320 would do well also.
I was only hanging onto nvidia for psychological reasons and voodoo/GL associations I guess.

Anyway, I’m glad you can get some reasonable grunt out of your card :)

Heya, my name is David

I met some FTCers at the London BTC expo a couple of weeks ago, thought I’d drop in and get involved.

I’m a long time opensource/unix boy, pretty new to the crypto world but happy to be the second wave as it were, these are exciting times. Last time I was this excited was when I discovered OSS in 1998.

I’ve experienced some odd issues with scrypt based coins on my recent compiles on Ubuntu 13.10, will hopefully be tackling that today. I’m also learning and mastering the *coind rpc protocol slowly… not much of a coder and certainly not a json fan but I’m getting there :)

Hopefully I might see some of you at the Pembury Arms (London) tonight, anyway… gotta get back to debugging…
