temp ban a pool or part of it for some time would be nice via GUI, it will save some time for cut/paste conf file and no need to stop mining.

Gone and done it Wink https://mega.co.nz/#!wNtDTS5T!0AYfDx8bOUPPsa1w8eHJvE6p07eTvvl5TDuLYKhrz14
Doubleclick a pool and it bans all entries of that pool until you doubleclick it again or restart minercontrol. Useful when some pool borks out, like Yaamp did today Tongue

Source: https://github.com/KBomba/MinerControl-KBomba
I kept the donation addys the same, so if you want to donate to me, my BTC addy is in my signature Smiley

I also added dynamic switching to the mix. If the price difference between the best entry and currently running one is very large, it will switch to it faster than the "switchtime" setting.
Dynamic switchtime = "switchtime" / ((best entry price / currently running price) ^ "dynamicswitchpower"). (if anyone knows a better formula, feel free to tell Cheesy I'm not a mathematician)
Add these to "general":
      "dynamicswitching": true,
      "dynamicswitchpower": 2,
At 200% profit, it will switch at 1/4th of the original switchtime, which is 1min at default values (4min). 150% => 1min and 46s, 120% => 2min and 46s, etc

Under Yaamp settings, I added "balancemode". It defaults to 0, which is "Total Unpaid", the total of all unsold and sold coins, which also was default behavior up to now. I prefer to set balancemode at 1, which will give me "Balance", the total of just the sold coins. Looks more like a Nicehash balance that way Wink But needs some time to build up if you're new to Yaamp probably. More values here: Github

Advise needed,

I'm using an nVidia GTX750ti to mine an x11 coin (CannabisCoin) with ccMiner. Getting around 2.2Gh
Shocked that's a pretty good overclock.  Grin
use sp release it should give you around 3MH/s



sp release? How do I find it and does it run on Win8.1? I don't know code but if I can get it installed....I can make it work.   Smiley
I let you search...

It's not far away Cheesy

164  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: what coin is the most suitable to mine with a GPU ? on: February 03, 2015, 01:42:21 PM
i don't have detail but it maybe a AMD 55xx HD with 2gb vram i used it to gaming

That's a pretty old card, it will not reward you anything big in comparison to electricity (and headache Tongue) costs, so be prepared for that.
Anyways, I'll reply with a quote ^^"

Any x11 algo coin like darkcoin is good for GPU mining. But its currently not profitable Sad

I'm a cuda-fanboy, don't have any AMDs at all, but afaik X11 (and sometimes X13) will be the most profitable for AMD miners Wink Look for the Wolf0 kernel, it will give you better rates IIRC.
165  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: i am finding a coin to mine with cpu . on: February 03, 2015, 01:39:15 PM
Possibly Vertcoin

Lol, maybe a year ago Tongue Nah, try XMG, it should give you a block someday, since there are no GPU miners available for their algo, unlike Vertcoin.
166  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: what coin is the most suitable to mine with a GPU ? on: February 03, 2015, 10:49:35 AM
i just want to enjoy mining some coins to get money don't care about other things

That's the spirit Wink Anyways, what GPU do you have?
167  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 10MHASH CCminer modded NVIDIA Maxwell kernals by SP. on: February 03, 2015, 06:37:18 AM
I have a 780Ti and a 760, and running GPU-Z reports they both support Compute 5.0.  I just updated the drivers, and using -d to separate and test the cards one at a time shows the same error with both cards.  Any recommendations?  As far as I can tell, this is the only version of ccminer I can find which supports the Lyra2 algo (and all your other algo optimizations are also very helpful), so I'd really like to get this to work.  Thanks!  Smiley

Wouldn't be the first time GPU-Z is wrong on anything Tongue
Check your GPU here, under "Cuda-Enabled Geforce Products": https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
But I can already tell you a 780ti is compute 3.5 and a 760 is 3.0 Wink

KlausT has added bitcoin mining just for fun. If you want to know how fast the newest cards are, build a version from the latest github.

Or use my compile Tongue https://mega.co.nz/#!ZI8UUZzb!jV7smY-l0MxoWvHRLkscj-Q6L9acsfNKnDJncDy-5-8

I didn't found SHA-256 algo in the help list...
How do I solo mine Bitcoin, could you please help me with the command line?

I use the Multibit wallet.

tks

Hah, he should add it to --help Tongue Anyways, if I see it right, it's -a bitcoin

If GTX 960 produces almost 2x hash/sec in comparison to GTX 750ti, then it is good card for mining with its price. Is not it ?

It isn't x2... Again: http://cryptomining-blog.com/4219-the-new-nvidia-geforce-gtx-960-mining-performance/ Tongue
Comparison 750ti/960 is in that link

i'm using gtx 970, and when i started guiminer, it appear unable to load cuda module.
I'm using last nvidia driver.
that's the kind of things which happen when you resurrect old thread  Grin

It gets even worse the older the thread is... and this one is verrrry old Wink
I didn't know there were other cudaminers before the real cudaminer (and now ccminer) ^^ Thanks for reviving this one Tongue
172  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Mine with both AMD and Nvidia cards in same system? on: January 26, 2015, 02:21:30 PM
Is it possible to run both nvidia and amd cards in the same system and mine with both at the same time or use one for mining and the other for gaming and regular tasks ?

If so, how do you do it.

Thanks
yes, it is possible.
But if you use the nvidia for gaming you won't be able to use physx if an amd card is detected

Great tip about that physx. Didn't know that.
So on-GPU won't work at all, everything offloaded to CPU?
Can't you assign another GPU to do the PhysX? (if you have a spare 750TI, best Physx accelerator ever)

174  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 10MHASH CCminer modded NVIDIA Maxwell kernals by SP. on: January 24, 2015, 04:21:05 PM
I run miners on realtime since ever and only cudaminer locked up the system a few times when it crashed a card. I very rarely had that with ccminer.

Yeah, but it's still possible Wink That's why we really need --cpu-priority and --cpu-affinity to robustly set them up through cli & scripts. There are already workarounds for this, but built-in is always better, easier and more straight-forward.
175  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 10MHASH CCminer modded NVIDIA Maxwell kernals by SP. on: January 24, 2015, 04:01:03 PM
I'm gonna keep repeating it: setting to high, higher than high, stoned high, doesn't make a difference. Setting it to realtime does, but might lock up your system.
that's right

Yep Wink Unless you assign it to a specific core (if you have more than one on your rig Tongue), so you still have cores left that won't be locked.
Chances of locking up are low though, but it is possible. One would want to eliminate as much point-of-failures on a continuous mining system.
176  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: 10MHASH CCminer modded NVIDIA Maxwell kernals by SP. on: January 24, 2015, 02:40:53 PM
soon time to build number 32.

I saw that you hardcoded the realtime priority. I'd advice against it: if for some reason the process loops endlessly, the complete rig will freeze up. Don't do realtime if you're not watching your rigs (and there are many like that around..)
So that's where the command line, like with KlausT and tpruvot comes in handy: --cpu-priority and --cpu-affinity
The commands    --cpu-priority and --cpu-affinity  .... what exactly do they do? It looks self explanatory, but?  thx

They set the process priority and affinity Tongue Realtime priority (5) will grant full priority of your miner over any other process on your windows. This boosts your speed a lot, I've seen quark go up by +200kh by using realtime priority.
Setting affinity will lock it to certain core(s), so the threads don't hop around too much. If you grant realtime priority to a process, it could lock/freeze up your system (nothing else can kill it), but if you assign it to only 1 out of 4 cores, other processes (like taskmgr) can run on the other 3 cores and kill it, if necessary.
Also, if you run cpuminers next to ccminer, or something else that's cpu intensive like av scan, and they run on the same core(s), they'll interfere with eachother. You don't want to lose 200kh quark per 750ti because some funny CPU only coin you're mining next to it Wink
I've also seen on some cpuminers/algos that setting up a different process per CPU core, and locking them to an assigned core, they perform much better. This doesn't mean it will necessarily boost ccminer speed (at the moment), but it doesn't hurt it at all to say the least. I'd like it mostly because it's much easier to manage your low-level-hardware miners.

In release 32 I have set the default priority to High. I haven't merged the parameter code yet, so you cannot change this. I didn't notice any difference eighter. CPU usage is down to 1% in x11 and 3% in quark.


I'm gonna keep repeating it: setting to high, higher than high, stoned high, doesn't make a difference. Setting it to realtime does, but might lock up your system.

Sp, can you take a look at tpruvots latest additions? (KlausT has them too already)
Setting --cpu-priority 5 (sets it to realtime from command line whoohoo) gives a nice extra Wink Even "highest" priority doesn't get this boost on windows.
