Bitcoin Forum

I have been meaning to post this publicly for a while but.. lol

This is a release of my CPU miner mod for SRC / QRK.

Windows x64 SSE4 only so far.. so have been too busy to worry about Linux support so far :(
It was coded in notepad and Visual Studio 2010 and compiled with MingW x64

It comes with a variety of bug fixes and new features and speed enhancements.
Please read included documentation ..I'll update this post with more info later.
I'm going to add some pictures i think showing what it looks like..
It has two color modes dark and bright and much more :)

Donations will enable make the program say registered and also enable an experimental speed enhancement ;)
It runs about twice as fast when i use the beta mode features (see example.bat included to enable it)

Notes:
- Quark and Securecoin use the same special Algo.
- Quark came out first and SRC was made by a different guy who made it a lot more rare and made it work like Bitcoin's block rewards etc
- Miner works for SHA and Scrypt too :)

Tested, it works about 20% faster than the Quark_v2 x64 miners. That is without the speed enhancements you have to pay for, for every computer you intend to run this on its $15.00



Oh, and for noobs, watch out for the datafile downloader. It packages the rar into a self installing .exe that puts crap all over your computer. Make sure you untick the option for fuck up my computer with adware.

yup thanks

and its worth it if it doubles your hash speed i think ;)

i am averaging when i checked last night $192 usd per month on a core2duo e7500 @ 3750mhz and Phenom x4 9550be "black edition" at between 2.6 and 3ghz

If it doubles my hash speed its worth it! Sending you an email now.

ok i checked my email.

also i added more info and pictures to first post :)

I have been doing some testing with the beta miner. It reports hash rate increases over 110%. It seems to work slightly better on older CPUs such as the Core2 Q9400. The hashrate with the Quark_v2_x64 miners was about 316Kh/s meanwhile with the beta miner it reported 805Kh/s. WOW!! my old rigs are cool again.

That being said, the pool does not reflect those hash rates. Perhaps some tuning is in order? I have tried Scantime 30 and Scantime 1 so far they seem to get similar results. Do you have any suggestions that I can try?

the pool src.coinmine.pl does not state hash rate accurately. (many don't)
what pool you on ?
scantime setting does work and will affect shares submitted.
and it does work on Getwork and Stratum unlike any other cpuminer i have seen (it only works for wallet mining on all others)
not sure what to suggest i modified the hash algo and tested for many months
so if people don't see any difference i don't know at to say really.. it IS hashing faster ;)

and i can assure you 101% that if you turn on beta features your pool hash rate reported WILL increase.
myself and other have tested this extensively for a looooong time on many pools on both QRK and SRC.
it may not be a big change in earnings from 500khs to 1mh too especially if your on a pool doing 1.3 terhashes lol

its tricky to evaluate a miner but feel free to try some other miner and see what you get after 24 hrs then try mine
and count how many shares you get submitted and compares hashrates and don't forget scantime doesn't do anything for all other miners ;)

oh and there is not a lot of options for this miner.. see --help commandline for more info

please don't bother "donating" if your just looking to make more money guys..
i don't want to have to keep going through a ton of explaining to people about mining
..it's VERY complicated stuff and i hate re-explaining ..i'm not good at it :(

don't forget in the read me i mentioned a new feature i coded --timer
..for benchmarking ;)

edit:

just so people know there is no trickery involved i will copy and paste the submit code..



what that shows is that it reports what hash speed is reported in console regardless if beta is activated or not.
so in other words it is NOT reporting a higher hash only if bet is activated or some other trickery ;)

PS: Blue means highest submitted share speed.. Green is normal.

Thanks for the explanation, I am in fact mining on qrk.coinmine.pl. I will try a different quark pool and see what kind of results I get. It is definitely faster not saying it isn't and worth the buy in for the beta.

i am normally bad at explaining things and last few month i have tried to discuss this with various people and its hard..

many people already know but i have had a dedicated beta tester confirm my findings and he has the current source code right now too
and he has confirmed what i have said himself ;)

good luck

Here are my results from testing the beta miner vs the quark_v2_x64 miner. Some people refer to it as minerd_sse4.exe. Thats the only other high performance miner I had to test with. For the sake of this post I'll call it v2 vs beta.

CPU Model - v2 hashrate - beta hashrate

Q9400 - 318Kh/s - 808Kh/s
Corei7 870 - 483Kh/s - 1044Kh/s
Core i5 3570 - 595Kh/s - 1303Kh/s
AMd FX8350 - 759Kh/s - 1750Kh/s
Xeon e5430x2 - 635Kh/s - 1620Kh/s
Xeon x5660x2 - 1342Kh/s - 3025Kh/s
Xeon e5-2450x2 - 1782Kh/s - 3663Kh/s

Huge increase in speeds.

i have a fx8350 too and i'm hashing at 800 Kh/s with this new miner....no performance increase for me.  ::)

Are you running it without the unlock code? The miner runs ALOT faster if you donate to the OP and get your code.

That's not donating, that's buying a miner. Nothing wrong with that, but lets call it what it is.

Hi - every pool for every coin calculates hashrate based on submitted shares - you can 'tweak' miners by displaying 2x hashrate or even try to submit invalid shares but pool will still display the real hashrate... If this miner really submits 2x valid shares than original one then respect!

feeleep

Also, the known issues a while ago with QRK/SRC share difficulty might be a reason for the client and pool displaying different hash rates.
The coinmine pool does not allow too-low difficulty share submission.
The rate accepted by the pool is the reality.

hehehe, you nailed it

miners report based on programmed calculation that does not reflect what the pool is accepting.

Do this test, run the last miner yu were using for 8 hours then this one for 8 hours and compare your income, that is the most sure fire way of seeing performance difference.

Where is the source code?
If this is a modification of the previous CPU miner, you are required by the GPL to release the full source for your version.

(Plus, anyone who downloads and runs prebuilt binaries from this forum with no source available is a bit dim, IMHO)

i use the unregistered version, and i think now that you are a multi-account of the OP that is tryng to scam some noob promising him 2x faster miner.


nice try, but you failed.

Go nag smolen about his GPU miner  ::)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=310975.0
Kinda funny you guys aren't crying to him LOL
want more examples ? cough cough Inkacoin ahahha

don't want it fine.. i want donations for my hard work.. don't want to donate don't.

and i never failed at squat it works just fine :)

PS: my code i wrote is NOT GPL

I have 24 threads of this running between my current computers. The speed is way faster than I thought it would be on them all.

i have stated for months to many past users it will go on Github when i work on Linux support until then sorry.

don't forget many people have already seen my source code and used my miner for many months..
i said in first post i was meaning to post about this for ages so..
say
thank
you
for sharing ;)

agreed 100% ..i said this lots already too

I am getting a speed increase on the pool there is no question about that. Does what scan time I put matter at all? I am newer to mining.

i think 1 was helping the most for some reason and i got the idea from my old beta tester who told me to try it..

i think it dopes matter because i debugged it and watched what difficulty the hashes found and submitted were
and they changed based on scantime.. but hey tryout what you want


edit:

also if someone can offer help for linux that would great and i will open source right now if you want me to remove the beta stuff ;)

Why would someone nag smolen about his program smelter?  It works like a hot damn...mined hundreds of thousands of QRK with it. 

If your paid software is really as much faster as claimed then noone should nag you for asking for a payment either...nothing wrong with getting paid for making a miner that at the end of the day is used by someone trying to make money.  It's like a gold miner complaining they have to pay for their pickaxe...go mine with your hands then...

Okay guys, I am running a test. I created 2 new accounts on qrk.coinmine.pl. Six identical PCS, three with the beta miner on one account and the other three on the other account. Tomorrow morning we'll see the coins mined for each new account. I will post the results in 14 hours or so.

where does the Securecoin deposit?

NM real dumb question

gpl

and mine don't work ?

compare to someones else's miner too ;)

PS:
as i stated numerous time I ALREADY TESTED this with other people so i don't care what you all say been working on this for a good 4 months lol
and my beta tester and i are more qualified to test it than anyone else ;)

anywhere ya want.. use --help commandline

Spoetnik, congratulations with your miner!

Quark kernel is going to be open-sourced, but I want to finish next kernel first.

lol thx

i was sharing it via word of mouth for ages.. just wanted to post it publicly as is for now

If it is a modification of a GPL program then your code is GPL'd.

Well, I said I would post the results so here they are.

Quark_V2x64 miner (I don't know who's this one is)

Confirmed:226.25820373
Unconfirmed:25.21069005

spoetnik 3.9.0.9

Confirmed:235.58128235
Unconfirmed:29.91134995

6 identical PCS mining in parallel to 2 different accounts. 3 to each. So these numbers should be accurate no?

Spoetnik, do you have any suggestions for tweaking the submission rate? The hashes are awesome but it doesn't seem to be finding the shares or its not submitting them.

I have been doing more testing and I'm telling you this is not faster!!  >:( I paid good quarks and securecoins for this and its actually slower. It reports higher hash rates yet submits less shares. Help me get this working like you said it did or give me back my quarks, you can keep the securecoins.  QgqQYdTk68kMCpz4HSojAwN1riKvTLB7na

gimme a fucking god damn break

i have said far more than enough and you know i can't refund you buddy because you get to bitch n moan now and keep the keys.
and yeah i could refund you 100x over again but it's not about the money.. you don;t DESERVE to get it back so no i am not giving it back.

the problem is you expecting to run your botnet at 30 mh/s and your pissed off your not doing 60mh/s now ..simple as that
read the fine print i never guaranteed anyone they would make double the money.

Lets make this even more clear (even though i already did in the included text files)
The beta access is an experimental set of features to improve hash rates and share submits. results vary based on variables (common sense)

and this guy told me on chat he regretted give me the coins because they were going up in value now he want his back and to keep my miner.

thanks for bad mouthing and trying to rip ME off !
and thanks fro trying to contact me instead of just throwing a fit on the forum..
you know damn well you could have emailed me or pm me or got me on chat
and instead you post this shit ? seriously ?

and..

LINKS REMOVED BECAUSE OF COMPLAINTS

fuck off.. i'm bad and i don't care.. sue me
i eat software licenses for breakfast i am a cracker :)

and i'm not sharing it anymore you can all kiss my ass ungrateful jerks

I simply asked you to help me make the miner work like you said it did, 100% faster. Thats what I paid for. Thats what you advertised. Yes, I wanted to make more money thats why were all here. You as well I'm sure. Anyway, I didn't badmouth you. I simply asked for help or some of my coins back. I haven't threatened or anything, as you can see by my posts. I'm not angry and I realize that I have lost my coins. Easy come, easy go. Lesson learned.

By the way, its you who do not deserve them. You failed to provide what you were advertising.

i never advertised i guaranteed you would make double your money .

what did i advertise ? care to quote me ?

and by the way i have been working on my miner for a long looooooong time
and mining and testing on about 6/7 pools and i can tell you one thing..
since src.coinmin.pl has being getting more and more overloaded last couple weeks i have been making less and less almost daily.
two weeks ago i was getting up to 25 coins per 24hr/s and it went to 20 then 10 for a while and last 3/4 days i am getting like 5 now.

the simple fact of the matter is this is complicated stuff with a lot of variables and few people know how to test a miner properly
my 4/5 month of beta tester sure as hell does.. i don't have to explain shit to him for hours on end.. he just simply knows.

you have read what you wanted to hear and not what i said.. that is not my problem

and this is why i have not posted any of my miners before.. donation or not you people are not worth the hassle
no amount of money is worth dealing with this bullshit !

and no i will not refund fuck all either that is retarded..
you were on chat bitching at me you wish you held what you gave me (before you even tested it pretty much)
..because the price is going up
then surprise surprise your here demanding your coins back.. even though i gave you a key that is good for unlimited computers for your botnet.

piece of advice.. verify what you are buying before you buy.
had you asked me and confirmed you would only buy if i guaranteed you would double your earnings i would have said hell no of course not..

and my miner is slower ? gimme a break lol
what part of i tested this shit for 5 months don't you understand ?

consider it a life lesson and read the fine print next time (or ask)

Miner is closed................
you people are a headache and i would rather just make my own and use it privately.. all this stupid bs is not worth it

edit:
oh and 1 more thing..
if you had ask and not acted like a complete prick i would have gladly given you the full source code
so you can see exactly what i did.

scamers dont care about licenses

funny to see ppl get scammed by prop. software...
