Hello!
In the last few days I'm taking a look at CryptoNight as I'm considering to diversificate my mining operations to some CryptoNote currency.
However, I'm having a lot of difficulty understanding what's going on with the whole mining thing. Hashrates are extremely low, but I assume this is the case... I'm having difficulty finding a place when I can look at this data.

For example, scrypt hashrates can be checked out at the LTC wiki more or less.
The other day I've found a very handy google spreadsheet about groestlcoin.
Myriad has a ... unfortunately not very populated ... database of hashrates across different hardware and algos.

I've been looking at the miner threads but the information here is very sparse.

Perhaps you could just dump there your hashrates?

8 cpu ~ 100-120 H/s

This is the best hardware/config comparison I've come across: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MI-ic0Os25hgGUImW54sUIjZY_pUNQNa_W8Se5pRGBs/edit?pli=1#gid=0 (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1MI-ic0Os25hgGUImW54sUIjZY_pUNQNa_W8Se5pRGBs/edit?pli=1#gid=0)
It's for monero specifically, but relevant to all CryptoNight coins. Most modern CPUs get 80-280 H/s depending on cores, AES-NI compatibility, and OS. In my case with an i7-3770 (same machine in both examples), I get 170 H/s on Windows 7 and 265 H/s on Ubuntu 14.04.

wow thats a low hash rate. my i5 3500 series does 233 in win 8, my i7 2600 non k edition does 303 on win 8 and my 4770k does 320h/s on win 8..... you should look into a better miner lol.

also gpu hash rates that i use.

280x hynix memory 531h/s with stable OC
280x elpida memory 405h/s with no OC as its pointless as elpida cards suffer heavily due to crap memory type.
7950 with hynix memory 503h/s with stable OC
6950 modded with 6970 bios does 360h/s with stable OC.

naturally 290-290x cards will do higher as long as you have samsung or hynix memory. avoid elipda cards at all costs as they are pure crap with this algo.

Thank you CrashOD, that is possibly better than what I hoped for!
It's very unfortunate the GPU section lacks wattages. I bookmarked this as I'll have to read it more carefully.

Very interesting, I haven't seen hashrates like that on those CPUs. What miner are you using and/or what's an example config for yours? I know Claymore's miner shows a higher than actual hasrate.

I have 18 R9 290 tri-x cards, and i am getting around 700-750 hash per card.

Do you mean 8 cores? or 8 CPUs?

Which model? :)

i use Yam miner. posts better hash rates at the pool as well and the donation is alot lower.

2x E5-4650 -> 1534H/s

Those GPU hashes are ridiculous. I'm going in circles in trying to understand what CryptoNight really is (all I see is statements) but there's very little info, I think I might just hit the code in the future.

well technicially there is cryptonote and cryptonight similar but different you could say. BBR use's cryptonight aka wild keeack where XMR is pure cryptonote.

Ah, I haven't had a chance to run that miner due to the donation and thus pool redirect which my environment can't handle. I wish I could get it to work though. Thanks for the info.

Hello all what about gtx 960/950 hashrate,does anyone have info about this ?

R9 270X - Vapor X   /        470-540 H/s with fine tunning more but at a longer time run dangerous for shooting the card  !

Nitro 380X - 570-575 H/s
No OC

My XFX 480 references do 720 h/s each, so 2x720 = 1.44 KH/s

Both cards use modded bios and run with the 29 MHs eth low power mod.
