Title: Optimized Datacoin DTC Windows - win64 Qt Solo Wallet miner.
Post by: Palmdetroit on November 26, 2013, 07:46:31 AM
An external miner has been release! Will optimize it when possible, please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=364205.0

Updated Clients Downloads:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/philosopherstone/files/DTC/

Datacoin-Qt_HP_Intel.zip - For newer Intel Line (i3i5i7)
Datacoin-Qt_HP_Bulldozer.zip For AMD bulldozer, Piledriver,Steamroller.
Datacoin-Qt_HP_Core2.zip - Legacy CPU or if the other ones crash on you.

Make sure to try out testnet=1 in your .conf file if you would like to compare block generation between clients.  Solo mining is very difficult now but these can be usable until you switch to pools.


Feedback and Testing on all clients shows typical increase of 3-5x  vs the stock client.

Use at own risk, test with backed up wallet/dir, etc. Not responsible, etc - Due diligence, yada

These are standalone clients. -IP6 is disabled.

Are there any special requirements for running these binaries? I tried the Bulldozer and i7 files but both crashed immediately.
I had them in the datacoin-qt folder with its depending files.
Running Win7 64bit.

I7, core2, and bulldozer available for those windows users who want optimized clients, or are using the stock win binary for whatever reason.

Testing the bulldozer (amd)  client was about 3-4 times faster than the stock bin released.

these are all-in-one clients for 64 bit windows only, let me know if you get a decent increase on the i7 or core 2, haven't fully tested those,-yet.

Doubled the primespersec on a Xeon 5150 using the 2core  ;D
Lets see if it now actually mines anything as opposed to the official wallet.
If it does you can expect a share  ;)

Only requirement is to have the proper hardware. If you run the bulldozer one, you must being using and AMD bulldozer chip, ie 8150, 8350 - these builds are very specific to hardware, what CPU are you using?

Also these  are all in one, you should be able to run them from their own directory , by themselves,  of course you may get a missing dll error, unlikely.

I consistently get 3-4x the speed from base client on AMD 8150 (with bulldozer variant) ,  seems to do the same for i7, thanks for feedback!

I mined just fine with all of them , got lots of blocks on bulldozer last few days (although slowing now) and tested the i7 on cc3 8x large  for 5 blocks last night.

21k+ pps and ~145 cpd with i7 client When I took a quick look

core i3 version, please  ::)

ok Ill try it now and edit when its up

try the i7 version and if it doesn't crash , post your cpu type and results if possible.


Title: Re: Optimized Hp DTC windows clients - datacoin
Post by: Adrenalin on November 26, 2013, 10:23:50 PM
On i5 2500k it gives 3x more primespersec than standart dtc client.

P.S. using i7 version.

I could verify if anyone knows how to determine estimated blocks per day based on pps or cpd vrs difficulty??

Anyone know if this is accurate?

peoples, we cannot ks with the client miner of yvg1900 (@ ypool.net) that support for getwork, so they can solo with a lot CPU power for just one wallet instead of running multiple instance of datacoin-qt or datacoind per machine as we did today.

Ya difficulty increase surprised me or I would of put these up sooner.  Will post optimized pool miners when they become available.

Speed increase is like 3x compared to normal client.

Used on 3 laptops with i5m over like 20hours.
2 without a block and 1 had single block ;-]

Hurray!

No, you're wrong  ;) I talked to yvg personally, his team doesn't get so big profit as you think - he just has very fast miner for himself, but he doesn't try to "ALL YOUR DTC ARE BELONG TO US" :)

Hi maxsolnc,

dont get wrong understanding on my thought, i personally very appreciate yvg effort on CPU's coins.
I'm just worry about DTC diff change kind of rocket since we still does not have any official miner yet, and that's not good for this coin, dont you think so?

Diff is still at 8.99, it bounces around this value for several days (look in main thread), so I don't think that his miner affects this very much. But anyway, it is sad that there is still no open pool for DTC. I hope that yvg can give some version of his miner to community, but only when we have pool even with slow miner up and running.

Wow

I went from ~ 2k PPS (16 CH/D) to ~6k PPS (45 CH/D) with the i7 optimizations on a 4770. Very nice. Can't wait to try the Haswell build.

Thank you!

 Everyone should notice chains per day taking a big hit with the harder difficulty we have now.

I tested for a bit, but it is hard to tell if it is an improvement. The chains/day and p/s seems about the same as i7 optimizations, but chains/min seems to be a little higher. I am not sure how much difficulty is affecting the results.

Thanks again!

*Edit: Sent 5 DTC tip. These optimizations are working great. Running i7 version on (6) i7-3770, (1) i5-2500 and Haswell version on (1) i7-4770. I have 6 more i7-3770 I am about to set up now. 7 blocks so far since yesterday :D

*Edit: Sent 5 DTC tip. These optimizations are working great. Running i7 version on (6) i7-3770, (1) i5-2500 and Haswell version on (1) i7-4770. I have 6 more i7-3770 I am about to set up now. 7 blocks so far since yesterday :D



Thanks for the good feedback and tip!

You could try testnet out I guess with the variants and calculate which one spits out more blocks over x time, as thats what really matters. dif is super low on testnet atm tho so be prepared to watch blocks fly

testnet is like a sandbox for developers who creates miners, pools etc.

All you need to do is open up datacoin.conf and place"testnet=1" into the file.

When you restart the client it will use testnet coins instead of real chain, DTC icon on taskbar will be green, not yellow if it's working.  The benefit is on testnet if you pump out 1 block per day on the main chain, you can pump out 100 blocks a minute pretty much on testnet, so you know the client is working and creating blocks properly and need not run comparisons over days or longer on main chain. Works great to test on slower computers too.

You can also tweak client settings to optimize finding the most blocks and get results to your changes in real time. to find this file on windows look in c:\users\youruser\appdata\roaming\datacoin

Very thx for you explanation, and one more question, is this testnet coins usefull or can be exchange?

I don't think anyone has ever monetized testnet coins before... at least for dtc lol

Updated Clients
https://sourceforge.net/projects/philosopherstone/files/DTC/

Datacoin-Qt_HP_Intel.zip - For newer Intel Line (i3i5i7)

Datacoin-Qt_HP_Bulldozer.zip For AMD bulldozer, Piledriver,Steamroller.

Datacoin-Qt_HP_Core2.zip - Legacy CPU or if the other ones crash on you.

If you want to make sure it's working, try out testnet=1 in your .conf file if you would like to test block generation between clients.  Solo mining is very difficult now but these can be usable until you switch to pools.

"try out testnet=1 in your .conf file"

is it necessary? I only have one PC.

It is not necessary. You can use testnet to get a better sense of any performance increases/decreases from different versions of the client because the difficulty is lower.

correct, I changed my wording in post, Testnet flag is just used if you want to compare clients in blockfinding, because obviously when you mine you want to find the most blocks, with testnet you can try many different command lines to optimize your block finding.

I just want to check my config is right, so I want test it in testnet.

Usually 4-6 nodes active.

But my wallet in testnet does't have any active node. Could you post some? Very THX!

Any chance you could post the source so we can compile ourselves and avoid malware? Curious why your exe is over twice the size as default client. If this is legit thanks for your effort!

Source was posted on the first page of this thread:
Source: https://github.com/foo1inge/datacoin-hp

Yes it is 'legit' It's twice the size because its optimized standalone.

Also, this client has little use with the newly released external miner, please see https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=364205.0

Thanks its actually good policy to not just dl random bins, I also suggest to use testnet on client to test/verify it works correctly on your machine.

yes there are  external miners for solo mining but not pools yet. i think there will be a pool in a few days.

what do you means miners external for solo mining?
sorry my bad english

I am sorry i meant external miner! Miner that is not embedded on the client. like cgminer or guiminer etc
