Actually I do, only way I could get the 6 going was to enable crossfire.

Without that I had 1 card not working in device manager and code 43

Have you tried Linux? Another benefit is that you don't need the dummy plugs with a Linux setup.

You could do use BAMT if you don't want to install anything.

Wanted it up and running, didn't have time to learn setting up Linux.

That mobo has a "killer nic" it requires extra tweaking to get running in bamt.


Basically, windows is quick to instal via flash drive and get going with saved profiles, easy to admin remotely via iOS with splashtop too.

I understand if you wanted it running quickly. I guess it just depends on knowledge of the person. I had Xubuntu running on a flash drive within an hour. Administering has been easy since I can SSH into the box from my iPhone if something was to happen (which I've done to change mining pools).

For something like this, I'd rather spend 1-2 hours setting up Linux than wasting money on a Windows license. The most difficult part out of everything for me has been tuning my cards and seeing what doesn't make them crap a brick.

0 unix, Linux etc experience. Don't work in tech, just have been dabbling in computers 20+ years.

I paid retail for windows me and some other Microsoft turds. That's my license

yep... it was originally a bitcoin, not worth crying over it.

Okay, I tried out Middlecoin and Hashcows, and I found that they netted me 0.03 and 0.02 BTC, respectively, weekly at ~1350KHs.

I'm sorry, but that's garbage. I made more than that mining straight Doge!

Am I doing something wrong? Do I have to specify servers or anything like that?

I'm probably going to go back to mining Doge now, it's the only thing that's been consistent.

For autos Waffle pool is better than hash cows or middlecoin atm, both seem to have shit the bed recently. The auto pools in general seem weak as hell the last couple weeks.

I've had decent luck mining max on 1ghz pool and selling on mcx now

I've been using CleverMining for the past few days. I'm going to see what it's like for a week and possible change to wafflepool. I have about 2.2 Mhash/sec and I'm getting a little over .02BTC/day.

I'm getting about 0.012-0.015 mining at waffles with about the same hash rate (2 x 280x). How do you even get 0.02?

Link to the doge pool you're using?
