You can also add my previous stats. I don't think much ppl will be interested but I like investigating scaling.

They are creating mobile apps for cellphones. Some are building dynamic webpages. These are two things I'm not only uninterested but they also are repulsive to me. I don't like cellphones because they are built from ground up to act as anti-privacy devices and I really suck at web design, drawing and other required side skills needed to make a "modern" webpage.

SQL queries are not problem to me because I have a rudimentary knowledge of PHP and SQL. Just barely enough to manipulate things I needed.
Then, let me tell you: you're up for a bumpy ride.
If you think Javascript is just web pages you'll have to reconsider sooner or later. Modern browsers (firefox especially) are a fairly decent application platform with many advantages.

Nonetheless, I agree you cannot do that if you don't have any motivation.

You guys have a problem.
Asking is legit and he actually elaborated on the problem he had quite well. I've received reports much less useful.
He didn't say "sgminer sucks". Congratulations, keep feeling "elite" that's exactly what this needs.

Congratulations for your accomplishments so far! You sure have the willpower to make it at this point.

I have a rough/very rough knowledge of those languages you mention and you could indeed do that... but I'd suggest against it.
Since you are focused on making a living out of it you should probably take this the other way around.

Look at companies around you and look at what you feel like doing. Pay is a thing but motivation is another and you won't get far without the latter and as a learner, motivation will improve your absorption rate a lot.

Job availability is a real problem, especially if you are already budget constrained. To that regard, it's probably easier to get one out of Javascript rather than C. If you are already proficient in web administration you could exploit some synergy between the things.

SQL is basically the only thing required around here. Or so they think.

Nowadays Amd gpus are not profitable,that's why peoples lose their interests to mine with amd cards,maybe cus of this.
Maybe, or maybe not. AMD cards have demonstrated multiple times they work great when given proper kernels but apparently those guys are more interested in giving money to NV (which doesn't give a fuck to budget users and it's becoming borderline patent troll recently) than rewarding the few talented individuals effectively doing research on that topic.

So basically my understanding is that you have no clue what you're talking about and you're all in for propaganda. Nobody in business considers GPL a decent software license nowadays but the most extremist open source dudes. If you want free software, free is free. Free is MIT or ZLIB.

Interesting, is GPL applicable here? SPH_LUFFA_PARALLEL hints that this kernel is derived work.

It is not, since his (maybe derivative) work is not published. He can sell, distribute, but not publish derivative works to comply to GPL...

If he distributes it to someone who wants the source, then he has to give it - assuming he has used ANY GPL'd code in his kernel, the entire kernel has now been infected.

No, 100% positive that obligation for announcing the source code comes only if one publishes derivative work. Distribution comes at ask of end user, so no obligations afterwards even if the end user was paying for it. At this case, he is distributing not only kernels, but also variant of sgminer and that's the reason of not publishing the work, but distributing. He knows he is on a safe side.
I read this a few times and I cannot make any sense of it.

I've been fiddling with digibyte-qt 3.0.3 ubuntu x64.
I'm trying to generate an address to use with digibytetip (the default system generated one seemed to go belly up).
I'm pretty sure there is supposed to be a button somewhere... but I cannot find it. Help!

The wallet itself is synchronized and pulled up my mined DGB from previous wallet with no issues.

I managed to get some yescrypt running and I got (on this card, 7750 850/1200). Wattages are purely indicative as my wattage meter is very cheap. Includes whole system including ~20W monitor and ~3W UPS. Wattage and temps taken only with v2.

Command line is
--no-submit-stale --kernel yescrypt -o server -u user -p password  -w 4 --rawintensity X

--rawIntensityh/s (v1)h/s (v2)WC
16183058-10644
32315656-10548
64549160-10550
1289515262-10953
14410561-10749

I didn't go higher as higher intensities would sporadically crash the driver. In all cases system becomes oddly unresponsive.
Increasing the worksize results in lower hashrate.
I had high hopes for the "nvidia" multi-phase kernel: I couldn't spot any reason for this to be nv-only in 5 minutes but fact is, it cuts performance in half for me.

For the more technically inclined
The yescrypt kernel is huge. Over 10 times bigger than the suggested size. It also overspills, an operation which traditionally favored nvidia hardware.
On my tests, when hashing 128 items each one reads on average 14MiB and writes 1.92MiB. If memory serves this should be around 2MiB as a reference so the GPU is being hammered hard. It also consumes all on-chip registers so the GPU is currently running with all latency hiding capabilities disabled. The fact it's still remotely comparable to a CPU in this worse case scenario is nothing short of amazing.

The multi-phase kernel looks great at a glance but for some reason it just does not add up. Kernel "search2" alone takes more time alone than the whole "search" monolithic kernel.

On average, only 1 clock out of 3 is spent doing useful work for me and on that useful clock, only about 6% of GPU power is effectively used.

I think BSTY is going to be a great contributor in providing a playground for a real hashing scheme (rather than a mish mash) every advancement here will be very interesting.

You miss the point and your logic follows "Bitcoin" thinking. The guy who starts bulldozing with n MH/s simply kills the block rewards in XMG. Not like Bitcoin at all. By all means use whatever computing device available, but show community spirit and keep it on a leash. There will be no change in the block reward system. Overmine it and kill it. There is absolutely no point in going to FPGA or ASIC for XMG - it makes no economic sense at all. As soon as you started using it the block rewards would drop to zero and you just paid a shit load of money for a useless item.
I have difficulty understand how can you keep this promise. Producing at lower cost is producing at lower cost. That is, being able to sustain lower rewards.

Perhaps it would be time to adjust OP description, section 2 is especially... requiring attention.

FYI, the default settings for digihash skein on Radeon 7750 are too extreme. They make the system choppy. And I don't mean "cannot play 3D game choppy" I mean so choppy I have difficulty typing this message as the letters get there easily half a second later.

The proposed parameters are:
Code:
-o stratum+tcp://digihash.co:3035 -u wallet -p x --text-only --skein -I 13 -g 2 -w 264
Producing ~45MHs peaking the card at 60C.
The following produces a far more usable system while keeping the hashrate ~45MHs.
Code:
-o stratum+tcp://digihash.co:3035 -u wallet -p x --text-only --skein -I 10 -w 256
Odd stuff: this does 46MHs and is even smoother:
Code:
-o stratum+tcp://digihash.co:3035 -u wallet -p x --text-only --skein -I 8 -w 64

As far as I can tell this is better than sci-fi. It is my understanding it is a closed system. It is also not a warp drive as it doesn't seem to involve bending the space around the device.

When Jared posted his question today i have been reading the OP again and something jumped out what i havent been reading before and really is intresting. (maybe just missed it?)

"Security: 5 DigiByte mining algorithms vs. 1 Bitcoin algorithm.
DigiByte mining is much more decentralized.
DigiByte mining algorithms can be changed out in the future to prevent centralization."

So in the near future,, when there comes a algorithm that fits better into the Digibyte multi-algo they can easily replace it,I wonder how they can do this,,Hardfork,Softfork?
I have very likely missed it but that's not very relevant in this moment. I was very surprised when digispeed was announced. I would have considered the occasion to add yescrypt.
