OC3D Crypto-currency Mining Pool?

7790 is around 230 kH/s apparently. 4 of you is almost 1mh/s!
Strangers will probably join the pool after a certain point too and we can invest in more hardware with our earnings so start small and work our way up. Ill research setting up a server.

Awesome. I'm not knowledgeable with that kinda thing. We could also all go join one together, but I'd prefer someone from OC3D handling it so we know it's not going to turn into scamming.
I'll test my rig a bit, get some numbers together, maybe look into some basic rigs.

Thats what im setting up, just google a random pool for the time being if you want to experiment.

Okay i did research and apparently it isn't cost effective to make your own pool and i would need really fast internet to host it which i don't have, i have 5.2Mb/s down and 0.2Mb/s up. To actually host it i could use like an old rack mounted dell that has a couple of xeons or something but i think we would be better off merging with a larger pool. I currently use https://ftc.d2.cc/index.php for feathercoin. I don't know of any good pools for dogecoin but they cant be too hard to find.

Is it worth getting a bunch of people mining to split the earnings? Would the money earned be more than the electricity used?
Also running a 7950 which should be about 580kH/s

I've set up following the link/guide provided by Edge here.
Messing with intensity at the moment.
At 11 I'm only seeing around 170Kh/s, GPU sitting around 56°C and computer still usable for normal browsing.
At 14 it's just over 200Kh/s @ 59/60°C and starting to slightly affect things.
At 17 barely 205Kh/s @ 60°C, and web pages lagging quite badly, typing this is a good 5 seconds behind :lol:
Edit: I was supposed to be given a 7850 by a friend of mine so I'll probably have a play around with that as well if/when I get my hands on it

You need to add a worker to your pool, then set your .bat up to work with the pool/your settings.
These are my settings on the dogehouse pool for my 270x.
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum3.dogehouse.org:8080 -u [removed] -p [removed] -I 14 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 16000
Currently getting 293.6 kH/s, at -I 14. Can go up to -I 19, but as it's my everyday PC, I don't want to run it too hard.
I'd stick to 14. 200kH/s is within the estimates for your card, the 7790 (200-250).
My intensity is at 14 too, getting around 300 with the 270x
Theoretically yes.
More PCs = Find blocks faster.
One guy with a PC managing 20% of the hashrate for each block gets 20% of the payout. So we should see returns based on our own power consumptions at least.

So we are not making profit is what it seems like you are saying?

I see I badly worded that xD
No, what I mean is you will put in a certain amount of power to generate your hashrate. Because it pays out based on the work each person did, someone putting more power into it will get a payout fair to the amount of work they did. As whether it will be worth the power you put in, well, that's for you to calculate with your rig.
I fail to see how an AMD build wouldn't be cost effective. Otherwise why would anyone be doing it?
Speaking of which, my Dogecoins are trickling in. G'waaarn!
This pool has a 1% fee and a customisable donation. I left it at 1%. Good guy me, right?

Change the name of the batch file to mine.bat?
I have it called mine.bat and this is exactly what is typed into the file:
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum2.dogehouse.org:493 -u RadeonHDx.worker -p worker -I 12 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192
timeout 60
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum2.dogehouse.org:493 -u RadeonHDx.worker -p worker -I 12 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192

Have you put it into the cgminer folder?

Nice, I'm still waiting for my wallet to sync.
Are you sure your login details are correct because that says your password is "worker"?
Also, I tried a couple of different batch files, mine didn't work unless i left out this part.
Code:
-w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192fgs... ^_^. I forgot about having to have it in the folder ahah, oops.
Also I have around £200 which could get me a 270X and a CX430 and possibly some cheap cpu/motherboard? Do you think it would be worth my while to do this and have a dedicated mining rig and wait to upgrade my current rig?
Yep, just checked that everything is how it should be but it still says that the 'cgminer' bit is unrecognised. Sorry to be such a pain but I do want to see what I can get out it.

I think I'm going to go down that route. Thinking of two cheap 270s & Athlon x4. Open air.
I've been running it for 30 minutes and have just shy of 100 Dogecoins, wewt! xD
My system is £600. At 0.0012 USD per Dogecoin, that's exactly 500k doges needed to pay it off.
So, I'm getting around 200 Dogecoins per hour atm with my weak build. That's 104 days of mining to pay off this build.
Obviously take off electricity costs, and my inefficient, slow-running build would probably be paid off in 3-5 months.
I'm starting to see the profitability here. And that's assuming Dogecoins stopped at current value. From what I've seen, looks like it's going to head up like most other cryptocurrencies.
I think a well optimised machine, running 24/7 with good hashrates is going to be a relatively well-off endeavour so far!
As long as you keep an eye on currency prices, and put the time into optimising and going for value for money, this is pretty cool.
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum3.dogehouse.org:8080 -u (yours) -p (yours) (paste your recommended from this list, but lower intensity https://litecoin.info/Mining_hardware_comparison)
Copy paste that, edit the bits in brackets accordingly, don't worry about the rest of it. See if that works
