What GPU are you using?
i'm using MSI GTX 970 Gaming 4G, i was told that this card doesn't have a great performance at mining, but i expected a little bit more t.t, well, doesn't matter anyways it works better than just using the cpu, it might be enought to get the player i want to top 8, i hope.

I set mine to port 80 and it automatically changes the difficulty soon after starting xmr-stak based on how many h/s i am getting.
If you are using xmr-stak to gpu mine, try changing the values of the threads and blocks in NVIDIA.txt. On my 960m threads 32 and blocks 5 seems to work the best.
According to this you should be able to get 500+ with a 970.
Also there's a 10 minute video here if anyone wants to compile their own xmr-stak to get rid of the 2% donation that it takes by default. I followed it and its really easy.
Instructions are in the video description if you don't want to watch the entire video.
Also a small tip for those using xmr-stak, it requires 2mb of cpu cache per cpu thread. So although I have an i7 with 8 possible threads, my cpu works best with only 3 threads because it only has 6MB of cache.
Xmr-stak by default will configure itself to mine with both CPU and GPU simultaneously. There will be a Cpu.txt that can be edited to remove some or all of the cores for CPU mining.
I've discovered many companies that are offering a free trial to allow cloud computing on their servers. I think I will test them for Monero CPU mining to boost the project a little .
We have a website which will also boost publicity a little:

the whole idea is to mine cryptocurrency to get to 0.3 moneros which is around 100 USD, that's the goal, i believe it's at 13% of the goal at the moment, so there is a lot more hashes to mine, So there isn't a time limit, but there is a goal.
P.D: how is that you haven't improved your english yet? you have been in the community for so many years man. take an intensive english class and in 3-4 months you would be able to get easily to CEF B2 or so
There is no time limit, we'll continue the fundraising until the 0.3 Monero is reached. I'm currently looking for ways to promote and increase fundraising, I would like to get there sooner :D.
Anyone's input or willingness to help is of course welcome.
Just a reminder that this tournament is still for real, we're still fundraising, I'm still promoting it when I have time . Definitely want to do this as soon as possible, we need as many of you to contribute as possible!
Cryptocurrency markets are booming, it's possible our prize pool will grow bigger than originally planned .
You are correct, fundraising efforts have been pretty modest. A lot of people like the idea, but not enough have wanted to put effort into fundraising. I do appreciate everyone who has contributed though .
If the cryptomarkets do well, the prizepool could grow a lot by the time we recieve the payout.
If anyone would like to boost the prizepool I've setup the official matcherino.
If you send monero to the listed address I would also include it in prizepool, I would love to list contributors in the main post as well as giving them a shout-out during casting. You would have to send me a Teamliquid or discord message with the amount you've sent though, since monero is a privacy coin :D.
Hey everyone, I apologize the tournament went cold. Work got busy and the cryptocurrency markets crashed pretty hard, turning our raised funds into peanuts. Luckily the markets have now recovered and are surging upwards !
I've been continuing to mine and increase us closer the goal (which we have now reached.) I would have liked to continue the crowd funding effort and promoting the tournament, but at least now we are able to collect a payout and proceed to hold the tournament.
I would love some help to cast the games. Is the community okay if we pick up where we left off?
I can start sending out invitations to the players who received the most votes during the active crowd funding period.

Russell are you short on prize pool money from the cryptos?.
