And so are the miners! Never seen so much traffic!

Be nice if its on the up… reason behind it!!!

@Vigospqr ah good old essex! Miss Essex :(

I won’t be able to make this one due to work commitments :( shame because wanted to come down and learn more…

@gooders

Just a guess but say someone (A) with £100K, he buys buys buys, from 4pa coin to 8p, hoping for other people to join in who (B) even realise it’s p d, they try to make quick profit and buy at 8p. Price goes up to 10p. (A) sells all at 10p, makes a profit on each coin ranging from 2p to 6p in each coin. B who bought at 8p bought something that was worth 4p. of course. it’s easier for me to write whatever I think could have happened, will be miles away from the truth though.

But as feathercoin real worth is not affected in the price, it could all be genuine and some funds/companies etc might just be stocking up for long term.

100 different possibilities.

I’m still learning all this…

Does seem odd how it jumped so quick… i guess as you say there could be a million different reasons as to why it’s jumped up… lets hope it means something is thinking of using it for there project :)

Don’t underestimate the hashrate thrown in by the multipools. They switch on and off, creating peaks in hashrate.

Was a fairly consistent 1.2-5gh until this madness! Gone from 20-30 coins a day depending what i had mining to around 10 with both cards at max :(

No worries - I can understand how it looks like spam, edited it like 5 times in a matter of 2 minutes.

Quick question, the settings that I am using in the BAT file for the miner are the following

nsgminer.exe
–neoscrypt
-g 1
-w 128
-I 8
–gpu-engine 1000
–gpu-memclock 1500
-o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336
-O pumperdumper.ftcworker:awdxqezc132

How do I tell if it’s not working??

Right now it’s opening the command line and it runs a few lines and then goes blank. Not sure if I should be giving it more time or if it’s crapping out because I’m pushing the settings too much??

If it’s not working would it crash the computer, i.e. blue screen of death?

Hey, welcome to FTC :)

So far all looks good… only thing i look at is the gpu engine and mem clock… i found when i did this it created drama and stopped things from working!!!

Also at this early stage i would recommend the change to ccminer… i have found it to give a better kh/s than NSG… don’t know why!!! (anyone help with that?)

For reference… i used to mine with a gtx780 using NSG. the following is my launch.bat file text

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
nsgminer.exe --neoscrypt -w 128 -g 1 -I 18 -o stratum+tcp://ftc-neo.give-me-coins.com:3336 -O Gooders.1:x
pause

Could change the -W - I setting to something a little lower (see url below) and see if it runs, if it does then its your config file :)

For the right -W and -I setting for your card, have a look on here for your gpu and then add it into your file.

I’m heading home for the evening but if you want that lot breaking down let me know… the first 5 lines of my bat file i have no idea what that was for, i was advised to add it.

Happy mining :)

Thank you so much for posting!!!

I’m headed home as well - but I will definitely take a look when I get home and put your suggestions to use, really appreciate your foresight and tips.

Cheers!!

No worries :)

I’m a noob too, but i spent 4 days sorting/syncing the wallet (i would start there because of Give me coins-will need wallet address for settings) and at least a day sorting the miner out so all i can do is post what i found and how i did it! If it saves you the days of drama i had its got to be a win! I’m sure if i am wrong or there is a better way someone will jump and say something!

EDIT: everyone is friendly here… forums are fairly active and there is some REALLY knowledgeable members in here… if you get stuck with the GMC pool, ask here or the pool slack chat system is really good… guy “khaos” in there is awesome… any drama and its sorted quickly with no fuss… he’s answered my stupid/noob questions and helped me!

@wrapper said in Making Feathercoin Used More:

@gooders I wrote this to go with 0.9.6.x wallets, it includes FTC history and resources.

https://github.com/wrapperband/FeathercoinWalletGuide

Thank you Wrapper :) i shall have a read!

@dwarrilow2002 has got me thinking however… one i need to learn more about the whole crypto thing and secondly where feathercoin falls into this and how it can be applied to other things. learn first, add input and questions later :)

Same problem here… but its probably best i stay in newbies!

Only wanted to comment on the london meet up post haha

@looarn

Thanks for your help :)

Did 9 hours last night and now have some coins! Lets hope this wallet sync sorts itself out!

@omiseyeola said in Feathercoin up 400% in a week:

Is there any hope that feather coin will be bullish again?

well it’s gone way back down now… to what it was… but still nearly double what it averaged before this jump.

@j_scheibel said in Feathercoin up 400% in a week:

@gooders well at least with the price is triple what it was. The value should be about the same. (assuming it maintains)

Yeah… i’ve not cashed out just yet… going to risk it!

Wish i hadn’t cashed out 250 coins at 850 just a week ago! Part of trading i suppose… i am not mining to make money, that’s just a bonus towards costs!

@calvinweight said in Feathercoin up 400% in a week:

We are still bullish IMO unless we fall below 1050 or so:

I need to learn how to use TV :(

@acidd

Thank you for that - I downloaded it, but stuck at this point.

I took a screenshot of what I’m seeing

Left side is NSGMiner - I can see the .exe files there - however i can’t see the same on the right. All the files on the right require a default program to open with.

Just a heads up - will update the top posts on this thread tonight - gotta switch priorities for a few hours.

hmmm maybe i need to test the neoscrypt version…urhm

@acidd said in Need Help! - Mining FTC - Newbie Perspective:

https://github.com/ghostlander/ccminer-neoscrypt/releases

download the zipfile ccminer-neoscrypt-win-1.5.80.zip
extract it

run one of the versions of CCminer depending on your config and cards…there should be 4 EXE.s in there.

Making me question what version i have now! i’m not using that one!

my .exe file is ccminer-x64-75

^if that means anything?

Is this still up to date?

From looking at CPU-z/pool stats it seems its not working my card as hard as other miners.

This kind of movement looks like a pump, nothing more. FTC has many whales that pump the coin whenever the hell they like.

having said this, most of the big markets are reporting green atm.

Concept being just mine as much as possible and then sell it all quick? Seems to be many types of pump and dump! (google)
