Hi all!

So in my daily job, I have a pc for heavy cad use (2x 7970). I talked with my business owner and he gave permission to use my pc for mining with no cost with only one condition: I can only mine off hours. So good 14 hours of free mining per day!

And now to my question: How can i setup my pc for scheduled mining? My pc is on 24/7 and I want it to start mining at 17:00 and mine thru the night and stop mining 07:00 in the morning. Any way of setting this up? I’m using win7

Simply lower the intensity?

That said, I’d just move the machine. Wouldn’t want to sleep in the same room as one, even if it is quiet.

Simple is beautiful, thanks! Gpu clock 1050mhz, memory clock 6100mhz and intensity 12 landed me at 550khs per card with 43% fans and 61C core temps! Quiet enough to sleep with, but I think I’ll move it to livingroom tho (wife didnt want it to our bedroom) :)

Thanks for replies!

I really cant move the rig elsewhere since I dont want it running loud in any other room :D

I’ll try those settings, thanks!

This may seem odd, but I need a way to [u]lower[/u] my hashrate. Here’s the thing, I have my 2x X9 R280 rig in my home office, my sister is going to live with my family for few months while her house is being renovated and my home office is going to double as her bedroom. So, my rig is quite loud running fans 65% power and hashrate of 720kh/s.

I’m not gona jump around and strart mining when she leaves for work and stop mining when she goes to sleep. It would be easier to drop my hashrate enough so I need to run my fans only at ~40% and then it will be quiet enough for 24/7 mining.

but how to drop hashrate for less heat? undervoltin? clock speed?

Thanks

Looks good, thats going to be one kick ass rig! I run my matrix 280X all stock clocks and volts, 720khs @ 99% load, 65% fans and steady 63 degrees celsius with ambient temp of 20 C.

This is something i’ve been wondering. Do you have any first hand experience how much mining shortens gpu’s lifespan. Will my card last for 6 months, year, two?

I know that heat cycles are bad, but so is contiues heat.

I’ve been running one asus x9 280r for few weeks now, 700-720 khs with 99% load, steady 63 degrees celsius temp.

I like the idea! Not be rude, I think the upper part looks little cheap. At least I tend to ignore everything that says “free money”, maybe something more provocative would work better, like uncle sam with ftc logo in his hat saying “we need your GPU” or something like that. But like I said, I like the idea! We do need more miners

With the same command line arguments?
[/quote]

Yes, and that is exactly what makes no sense to me.

For example, I can connect to give-me-coins:3334 (ltc pool), but if I change the port to 3336 (ftc pool) and keep everythin else the same, no connection, same errors as in first post.

Another thing, I installed ftc client to my laptop that is connected via same router as my pc, instant connection and syncin up. I think there’s something wrong with my windows settings in my pc. Dunno what tho. I’ve already checked firewall

Got it working now, still dont know whats wrong tho. Only pool I got working is this small pro-tech pool with 3% fee but it has port 3334. fcpool with port 3334 does not work.

Little more experimenting: I’ve been mining only in wemineltc, using their us server. Now I tried to use both their global server and china server, neither of them work for me. But with that us server I connect and start hashing instantly. And Im not even located in US…

Ok, did some more testing. every pool that has server with port 3334, that server works! any other server from that same pool, does not work. Something with port 3334…

Where did you download bfgminer.exe from?

From the dev of the bfgminer [url=https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.msg3556947#msg3556947]https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=168174.msg3556947#msg3556947[/url]

I did a little experiment. I tried same ltc pool .bat for bfgminer 3.2.7, bfgminer 3.6.0, bfg miner 3.8.0 and cgminer 3.5.0. bfgminer 3.6.0 was only one working! with all the other versions and with cgminer I get same errors that are in the picture at my first post. There’s something really wrong in my pc

I am not firm with bfgminer and this might only be a small oddity: Have you tried --scrypt when you tried [url=http://pool.maeh.org:19327/]http://pool.maeh.org:19327/[/url] ? The command line in the suggestion only said -scrypt. I do use cgminer on my pool (i run pool.maeh.org) and it works fine for me.

Have you tried with --scrypt? And i assume the command line call for the LTC p2pools (as pool.maeh.org) lists a FTC payout address as username?

Thank you for your reply, btw you have by far best online community i’ve seen, super fast replies!

My .bat looks like this
[code]bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://pool.maeh.org:19327 -u 6qixdy9diFE8ymQJJ7fQgkYh3Ew7VLhWyR -p x[/code]
and no luck. My bfgminer works fine with btc and ltc mining, but ftc is no luck.

Tried cgminer also, it only says “no devices detected” when I start .exe, and if I use cgminer.exe --scrypt -o [url=http://pool.maeh.org:19327]http://pool.maeh.org:19327[/url] -u 6qixdy9diFE8ymQJJ7fQgkYh3Ew7VLhWyR -p x it just crashes.

I think there’s something essential I’m missing here.

From your information, 2 unrelated software codes have problems connecting to the internet.

Do a internet speedtest, call your ISP and test the network?
[/quote]

Thank you for your reply!

That’s exactly what makes it so odd to me. Speedtest is fine, getting ~400 Mbps in, ~20Mbps out so that’s working for sure, tested btc mining, works, ltc mining as we speak so my connection is working. Is there something special drivers or other requirements feathercoin needs in order to work? btw running 64-bit win 7 and my gpu driver is 13.152.1.8000 if that matters anything

are you using a proxy server to connect to the internet?

the Stratum protocol doesn’t work when a proxy is used.

You can try the following:

bfgminer â€"scrypt -o [url=http://pool.maeh.org:19327]http://pool.maeh.org:19327[/url] -u Your_Feathercoin_wallet_address_to_receive_coins -p x

The password is anything and the user is your feathercoin address.

It’s a p2pool pool *gg*

p2pools are automatically detecting whether to use stratum or not and react accordingly

If pool.maeh.org works, you definitively have a problem with the stratum protocol

you can check your results on [url=http://pool.maeh.org:19327/static/graphs.html?Day]http://pool.maeh.org:19327/static/graphs.html?Day[/url]

Thank you for your fast reply!

I’m not using any proxy server.

And to stratum protocol works fine with ltc pools (i use wemineltc so it’s strange why wemineftc does not work).

I tried that P2Pool you suggested, that wont work either. I get “pool 0 slow/down or url or credentials invalid”.
Also my ftc client (latest) is “out of sync” and “0 active connections” tho I’ve allowed it from my firewall to use internet traffic (started the client few hours ago)

Hi all, I’m new here!

Had to register since I have a little problem. I’ve already been thru all possible guides and how-to’s (those are great by the way, I rearly see that complete how-to’s!) but no luck from those either. I’ve been pool mining ltc with great success for a while now but I’m getting new card in a few days and would like to move to ftc since ltc diff is going up fast. I’m trying to get ftc mining going on but no success so far. I’m using bfgminer 3.6.0 and I have tried few different pools (wemineftc and fcpool).

My .bat file looks like this
[code]bfgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://pool.fcpool.com:3334 -u myusername.1 -p x -I 13[/code]

When I open it, my bfgminer opens up, “success” flashes for a blink of an eye and then it’s all black for 10-20s and then I get this

same thing with all ftc pools i’ve tried, all ltc pools work great.

Please help me, what I’m doing wrong?
