I’m looking forward to making it next year! That being said, I’ve noticed that I’m no longer the only person on the map in Michigan, USA. We’re starting to accumulate enough members to have a meetup around my area…

That would be great and I for one would love to see more Feathercoin meet ups around the Globe :D

I’m over in Southern California! Not sure that anyone else is though lol.

Ahhhh such a shame!

I’m from Kent originally and would totally drive up to Oxford for this! Unfortunately I’m in California right now as my wife is a yankie. Do one in May and I’ll be there! :D

As someone else mentioned, the video is great. It offers a friendly / positive / intelligent group with a lot of hope in feathercoin. I’m sure it was part of what convinced me to join and mine.

But having said that, the current still image (of the video) that is shown to potential new users is a random guy (to the newbies) with a near empty pint glass, maybe not the most professional image to lead with. You should be able to change this image in YouTube admin…and lets face it, this is what people will see when they first find feathercoin.com

I run a pretty popular YouTube tech channel about a million views, I think I’m pretty good at YouTube optimisations (keywords etc) and would be happy to offer my help with that.

Hey thanks for your feedback. I just tried to change the still image and it hasn’t updated yet. I will leave it for a few hours and see if it updates.

Can you link me to your youtube channel, your help in the future will be much appreciated.

If the YouTube channel hasn’t had too many views, you can only select between three pre-selected frames from the video, if you have more views you can upload an image. It can be a frame from the video extracted via video editing software, or another more custom “thumbnail”. So you might be limited to just the three right now.

Sure, I’ll send you a pm with my channel.

Ah sorry to hear that mate :/

Im running my 7950 at i-20, anyone think I should knock it down?

Your memory speed is a little high for my liking.

I bought a plug adapter - which gives the wattage being used. The Hall effect transducer from the power company also worked (around one wire to the rig (or plug board)).

Fine tune your rig to “accepts” as well, not just hash rate. You can often turn down the intensity but get less rejects and higher hash rate. You can then turn the Engine / clock speed down and still get the same Hash, but use less power. Press G in CGMiner to see the GPU control menu options.

I always turn the down the fan temperature triggers levels and check (A) automatic fan is set, (E)engine and fan settings are not always saved with (S) then (W) (write config).

Hope you Rep + the members who gave the best advice ;)

Many thanks wrapper0feather,+1 rep given ;)

My rejects are pretty low 1%-2.5% max, seems to depends on the pool. I’ll have to go get one of those monitors as I don’t have one here. Fans are set to auto, limited to 40-85, they seem to run at 50-60% normally. I’m going to have to play with the intensity settings.

I’m using BAMT so not too sure how to see the hardware error or access those settings. Unless I run from command I assume?

Glad to hear it survived!

I have the CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W similar to yours but higher up the chain, been on 247 for 3 weeks now so far so good. Wanted the 850W but the 750W was at a price I couldn’t resist, I’ll upgrade if I add more cards.

I’m currently running 2x 7950. getting 0.65 Mh/s from each, 1100 Mhz core, 1150 Mhz memory. intensity 20. I plan to tune more, but running well so far. About 2.5% rejects, depends on pool, sometimes 1.5%.

I must admit that once I had hit the 615Kh/s mark, and everything I seamed to do was making things either much worse or not making any difference I was starting to think that was the best I was going to get. But a little more perseverance has me at steady 718Kh/s

I have noticed that after a while the blowers start to slow down, and the temp stays around the same. So I’m wondering what’s going on there, or is it just as things stabilise a little?

Just had a little problem and had to restart a couple of things here, so can’t tell you what it had got down to but here are the numbers on restart:-

Load: 99%
Fan: 100% (3279)
Temp: 63.0 c
@ the wall: 440W

I will leave it all alone for a couple of hours now (I have some work to do for my real job :( ) and then take a few more reading and see if once it has settled again, the power consumption comes down at all.

UM

My fans do the same thing, slow, it gets hot, fan power up high, then it balances out and keep the temp pretty stable.

I’m also from the UK, but currently in California, it’s a little “cold” here for my American wife, so we’re appreciating the extra heat lol.

Cheers for sharing your info, I have 2x 7950, and tweaking makes a big diff for sure. I’ve got mine up to 660kh/s each right now. Hoping to get up to 700kh/s after a bit more tweaking, but like yourself, I better do some real work haha.
