Just started mining FTC today. Been mining BTC & LTC figured i’d give this one a shot to.

Welcome to the forums ratm69, if you’re familiar with LTC then there’s not much you need to change and setup besides picking a pool or solo mining.
What sort of hardware do you mine on? ~ ^^
-
Currently mining with 2 rigs a combined total of 3,000 khz. Both are identical, actually one is mine and one is my buddy’s but there both under my care.
2 - MSI 990FXA-GD80 V2 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard
5 - GIGABYTE GV-R795WF3-3GD Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP (600 Khz each stock)
2 - CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX1200 (CMPSU-1200AX) 1200W ATX12Vv2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 SLI Certified 80 PLUS GOLD Certified
2 - AMD FX-4100 Zambezi 3.6GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor
2 - Kingston HyperX 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory
2 - Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB 7200 RPM RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard DriveBoth systems are runnings window 7 64 bit and i’m using cgminer.

Ooh very nice, I’m assuming they were both originally gaming rigs. Of which I’ll just have to ask, why only a Quad bulldozer?~
-
actually they are both new mining rigs. The reason there’s only 5 cards is that we temporarily ran out of funds. Will be expanding soon.
-
Welcome and the rigs look pretty snazzy!
-
Thank you.
The next ones won’t be as elaborate. I wanted this setup in case I want to use it for something else not just mining. The next ones will be strictly miners. I figured out how to setup a brand new 2 card rig with 7950’s for right at $1000 all new parts. So that’s where i’m headed next. -

Sounds like a good plan to me, and it’s a shame you run out of funding initially. I am in that boat more or less too, the funding boat. x3
