I saw this too and decided to try out their free service. Set up a Windows server instance (since I know nothing about Linux) and got it running just fine. I did mess around a little with the CPU miner and it only resulted in about 36kh which is basically nothing at this point. I mean I guess...
Looking a lot cleaner imo!
Nitpicks:
-The mouseover menus that appear under team, resources, etc. are not all centered under their respective header. This could be a browser issue though? Using latest Chrome here.
-The twitter/facebook/g+ icons are a bit lost I think. Did you see what they...
The only contrast issues sticking out to me are the grey bars on top and bottom. Mmm I'm not sure, the grey text (and facebook/twitter/g+ images) looks "too" grey. To me it looks like they are greyed out because there's nothing there, like they aren't real links. They are of course so I think...
Just needs a bit more contrast. White on grey is fine, or darker text on white is good too. It's hard to say without seeing it in action which would be better.
About the arrows - it's just that you can keep clicking the same direction and it goes back and forth, but it doesn't always go the...
Looking really great! I do think there may be a bit too much grey though, grey text on a grey background is pushing it imo. But that's just my opinion of course :)
The side arrow navigation is a little wonky, it kinda goes back and forth in a weird way. Minor stuff!
Yeah you always have to play around with the core speeds, brands are a bit different in their tolerances. Love my Asus cards that can run 1150 24/7 and not give me any problems, some of my MSI cards get very grumpy above 1100. Still I haven't had any cards that wouldn't run at 1100, that seems a...
lol it's possible you're the only one who saw the possibility of a duck in that D, and also those are some pretty sick photoshop skills :P.
Thanks for all your work here LimLims. Try not to lose your mind trying to find the -absolutely perfect- shade of blue!
You should be able to get more hash out of a 5x rig, ideally you're aiming for 2.2-2.35 per card. Here's what I use, lower the core if you have stability problems (1150 works on half my rigs, the others need 1100 to stay stable):
-k darkcoin -I 18 -g 4 -w 128 --gpu-engine 1150 --gpu-memclock...
I would like to but I haven't found the time yet. If I were to guess I'd say you can squeeze a little more out of Xintensity but it will take some tweaking.
The settings I listed are what works best for my system. I'm sure others may have varying results but for me this resulted in the highest hashrate. I13 is helpful if you want to use the computer you are mining on but it was a hashrate loss for me (small but still there).
I realized tonight I was using an old version of sph-sgminer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0). I noticed this because the 280x on my main PC was running at 2.35MH while all my dedicated miners were running 2.1MH. Settings were the same, cards were the same, the only difference...
A guide for people new to this stuff would be most welcome. I'm in the same boat as patrolman - good enough with computers but not familiar with setting up a node like this. Maybe it's not as hard as it seems though!
No I only leave 4 cores going. With 7 or 8 I do get a performance increase but 8 hurts the GPU miner peformance and 7 isn't enough better than 4 to warrant the +10~15C it generates.
As it turns out Evan is a human, aka no one is perfect. Not sure why there was so much paranoia / people getting upset because of one bad IDEA. Repeat - IDEA, the guy was just putting it out there for the community. It's obviously not a good idea and he took it off the table very quickly. That's...
Stock speeds, but some good news re-seating the cooler gives me lower temps (~80c with 4 threads enabled). Seems I messed up the paste the first time. ~80c isn't GREAT but I'm pretty sure it's well within limits.
Thanks for the answers. I never left it mining at those silly high temps because obviously I didn't want to kill my CPU. I did try the 4 thread suggestion and this gives me max temps of ~86 which is lower but still pretty high. I'll try re-seating my cooler this weekend and see if that helps...
