Will this next version have a pool option?
We have some progress in this direction, but I'm not sure about the next version. Is the default -cpuusage=6?
Yep. In the future, will there include hardware stats, ie. temp, clock speed, etc...
It's in the todo list, but with low priority. I get an error run the primegpu.exe and have to use the one from the v2.00 to get it working.
What kind of an error? I was under impression that it's exactly the same file as in 2.00. Same error as Pinocchio get's that is shown below. Maybe just a bad file and needs to be re-uploaded. Same here. When primegpu.exe from the latest paid version is run, the following error occurs:
"The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). Click OK to close the application."
GPU load of the new version on my machine is still 88%-93% generally, far from 99%...
Sweet spot for -cpuusage is between 6 to 8, since now the miner uses 99% of the gpu now. |

I have 3 different models of cards in one machine. Is there a way to run separate server instances for each card or a way to differentiate settings for each card? Any changes in the works for this type of situation?
Earlier today I planned to include this functionallity in today's build.  Most probably it'll be included in the next one. Will this next version have a pool option? Is the default -cpuusage=6?

Seems like a lot of these pools are having back-end issues. What gives?

Only worry when it gets around 85 to 95 C. Your card is running really cool, are you even mining with it?....LOL

@djm34, yah, it does. it will print a bunch of multiline text instead of "new block .. ".
@SpeedDemon13. Not very fast. around 0.5G to 0.6G depending on your card. I have not actually tested it, just reporting a result from peercointalk forum.
That's bad. Guess there needs to be an optimization for VLIW5/4 for those cards to work better. |

Till date,
This miner is working on 5xxx, 6xxx, 7xxx, 280x, 290 and Nvidia cards.
How are the speeds on the 5850, 5870, 5970, 6950, 6970 and 6990? |

CPU->GPU->FPGA->ASIC
The hardware order that a coin can be mined eventually.
A FPGA is better than an ASIC in regards that it can be reprogrammed. An ASIC is programmed to do just one thing only. ASIC's generally are quicker and I wouldn't doubt someone having a working FPGA programmed for X11.

Interesting enough, I seem to be getting 16.7 CPD with 4x 280x cards / 4770k CPU.
Been running 16 hours and I've gotten 2 blocks.
This was with some fiddling with how the miner is set up, and tweaking the settings on the GPU.
Going to see if it holds up and keeps going at these rates.
wtf 16 cpd. i have same setup but with fx-4350 instead, only got 7.5 cpd. Just restarted miner with another tweak. Going to let in run overnight. Here's pic:  how to take screenshotsWhat settings are getting you those times? |

is it true that the v4.0 consume similar power as scrypt mining?
Which would only mean it is optimized to full potential, right? Not necessary, right? Speed increase vs power consumption increase might not be worth it? I'll hook up my Kill-A-Watt meter later on in the day and show what one 7970 does in my AMD system. Can you also compare the performance/watt usage results of +nofee option and v3.0. I'm just comparing with the fee on. Here's my findings with a single 7970: Idle: 125 watts Claymore v4.0: 344 watts (1080core/1500mem)/360 watts (1150core/1500mem) Primegpu v2.00: 342 watts (1080core/1500mem)/354 watts (1150core/1500mem) Scrypt: 436 watts (1080core/1500mem) @ 750 kh/s + They generate much less heat for me, and the summer is starting here I haven't passed 62C during times when it was 85F to 90F with either XPM miner. |

The Vapor-X's are good GPU's and just as good as a Toxic nearly, but gpu mining is very minimal profit at the moment. Only thing that keeps them profitable is gpu mining XPM. You are better off spending your cash on a Gridseed blade, better $/hash than Gridseed 5 chip miners.

Since solo mining is all about luck, speed improvements help a little in being more lucky? Probably more useful for pool mining?
Nevertheless, any improvement is good. keep it up!
Hope the pool mining feature is coming soon.... |

If your low on ram and don't have a spare hard drive, then BAMT Linux on USB and other variants that can run on USB are best in this situation.
Honestly, no real major performance in running either one, just a preference aspect.

Ouch, the free version appears to have a major bug. Will reupload a fix in an hour.
What's the bug in it? |

How do you specify it to mine a certain card in a multiple gpu setup? ie. 2 gpu cards, but you just want to mine with device 1 not device 0.
In this version it will try to mine on all AMD cards. We do have card-selection feature in our todo list, but speed optimization is the main priority. Oh ok, just curious. |

I've heard that gridseeds are a joke and a waste of money? Plus can't they ONLY mine scrypt coins?
Whats the more profitable way at the moment then? scrypt is the most profitable way right now and will be for a while too. X11 algo or XPM mining with Claymore's miner. Scrypt and Scrypt-N aren't to profitable mining with GPU. In the future, get a Gridseed blade to mine Scrypt. |

I'm only getting a total power saving of 10% on this algo on all six mining rigs. I just don't really see the power savings from the supposedly 8x less memory intensive claim. I did use a Kill-A-Watt meter to get all my readings.
indeed my temps are exactly the same as for litecoins or vertcoins: 70 -72C That's not very innovate in the algo design. I ended up going back to X11, XPM or another lower power consuming algo. If I was going to waste the same power, I would just mine Scrypt-N or just buy a Gridseed Blade to mine with. |
