No problem! Glad I could do something to help!

If any of you guys subscribe to magazines you could consider writing in as well?

I wrote in to my computer magazine (Computer Shopper) about Bitcoins and Feathercoins and I got star letter.
Computer Shopper is quite a popular magazine so hopefully this will bring some more people to our community!

Next month they are doing an article of Bitcoins so hopefully they will include a reference to Feathercoins as well!

Attached is a picture of the letter and the email I sent as proof.

That’s odd. I’ll try upload it elsewhere.

EDIT: Changed it.

Why not?

Number 2 & 3 (makes sense to put in one post)

There’s my guiminer-scrypt settings. I find the interface more helpful to use than cgminer which gets annoying when I want to stop mining for just a short time.

I’ve had to restart the miner (and pc) a few times since I started mining so the accepted shares aren’t as high as they should be but I think its enough proof to show I’ve been mining for 200hrs =)

Number 1.

Here’s my ‘rig’. Not exactly a great setup but it’s the best I can get.

I have, in my pc:
Sapphire 7770 Radeon
Intel i5-3550
2x1TB WD Black Hard Drives
8GB Ram
Asrock Extreme4 Z77 Mobo
4xDVD writers (used for ripping cds :P )
500w Silverstone Strider PSU (hoping to upgrade soon)
Cooler Master Elite 355u or something

The computer is also used so mining does not run continuously. However I managed to get the 7770 cheap at £85 with a free gaming mouse so it was quite a good deal. I get about 150kh/s. The stock clocks are 1000mhz on the core and 1125mhz on the memory but I’ve changed those to 965mhz and 1360mhz to get a good ratio for mining.

I could probably push the card further but I don’t want to stress my PSU to badly as its only a cheap model and I’m not sure it could handle a larger overclock, really. I’d also love to get a better graphics card but again the PSU is the bottleneck. When I’ve upgraded that to an 800w model I’m hoping to get a 6950 or 6970 as they are rather cheap (around £100 if you can get a good deal on eBay) and are still good and capable for mining. I’ve already got about 120 FTC (I know its not much but I’m happy with it) from mining and are getting around 5-6 more coins per day.

Sure. Let me know if you need help with testing, I’m on android.

Oh sorry is that Litecoin? :-P

Hello there. =)

That would make sense. It is Java so I’ll try launching it with a different garbage collector.
The weird thing is I can run the game and mine at the same time. This doesn’t happen with Bitcoin but scrypt is fairly memory intensive so that’d make sense.

Ok. A bit of a quick and hacky fix but it works! Maybe the game is still partially loaded into something.

The driver changing something would make sense actually.

I think, may be wrong can’t really remember but after I left it mining for a few days it reverted back to about 150kh/s. I have changed the clock and memory to 965 and 1360 respectively, stock 1000 and 1125 I think, but it’s stable and temps are nice and low.

If I find a solution I’ll post it.

I’m currently experiencing a really weird mining issue. Usually when I mine I get around 150kh/s but after I use the graphics card in any way, play a game for example, and restart mining, the hash rate plummets to around 40kh/s and I experienced severe lag. This is when I have stopped playing the game or whatever.

I can solve the issue by restarting my pc or crashing the graphics card drivers by setting the intensity to 18. The former is just irritating and the latter makes me scared that I’ll break the card or something!

Has anyone else experienced this problem and have fixed it?

(I’m using the latest version of guiminer-scrypt and graphics card drivers 13.1. My card is a Sapphire 7770 GHz edition. The problem persists with reaper and cgminer. 12.8 drivers seem a similar issue)

Someone should make a smartphone app for feathercoin. I mean like you can check the current exchange rate, look at guides for setting up mining and getting the best out of your graphics card, news updates and all that etc.

I’d certainly get it ;)

I know similar apps exist for Bitcoins and Feathercoins overall but I can see a Feathercoin-centralized app bringing popularity.

Great game. Coding plugins for it is kinda fun, even if it is Java.

I’m currently setting up a server network and its going pretty well.

I think it’s pretty obvious.

Yep. I see it on the homepage. Okay thanks :)

Ok :) great to know! I’m sure it will!

I’ll have a look around. Thanks for the info :)

What happens when all 84 million feathercoins have been mined? Surely mining would be unviable because you wouldn’t get anything out of it?

Also why can’t there just be unlimited coins?

Thanks! I honestly didn’t expect a welcome like this. ;)
