I am all in on the Multipool.

Was only getting about 7 kh/s on my Android devices  Cry

Now I am about 2Mh/s  Wink

The best thing is. These coins from MultiPool still POS. Win, win for all.

cbuchner1,

Do you have a good link on how to compile from linux to windows that would be like "how to compile for dummies".

Never tried it but thought I might get my feet wet.

Someone on the RieCoin forum posted for Linux but left it to be done for Windows.

It's come to my attention that someone is cheating on ypool.  That sucks, and I figure that one way to help combat that is to put a better miner in everyone else's hands.  It's binary only, because I'll be you-know-whatted if I'm going to let someone else cheat, and it's too easy to just thwack the sieve until ypool applies a server-side fix.

It has a 10% dev fee that I'll reduce soon - 9.5% to me, 0.5% to jh00.  Please benchmark carefully against your own binary build, however, because it's not CPU optimized.  I'd love feedback.  I believe it's about 2x faster than a default checkout/build of clintar's xptMiner port.

For those who care, clintar's new build is 64k-fair if I'm reading the source right (it sieves all six to 64k), so I've matched that definition of fairness in this release.

http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~dga/crypto/ric/

Linux only because I'm still an idiot about windows.

A quick haswell benchmark:
clintar default:  [00:39:28] 2ch/s: 9.0309 3ch/s: 0.1764 4ch/s: 0.0052 Shares total: 3 / 3
my b7:     [00:39:28] 2ch/s: 12.0355 3ch/s: 0.2889 4ch/s: 0.0121 Shares total: 7 / 6

Happy mining - let's find some record prime clusters!

I thought I was going crazy at first my balance of unconfirmed and confirmed was usaully running between 1.1 to 1.5 coins now it has been at .5 to .8. I was just thinking that difficulty shot up  a lot. I don't pay attention to difficulty as I am just mining the coin to hold.

Nope - I had the same thought until someone mentioned it in chat.  Ugh.

(Someone was getting about 14% of the pool shares but contributing only 2% of the blocks.)

I'd love it if folks would post some comparison numbers with their miners - I want to be sure that this thing is more than worth the 10% dev fee, or I'll cut it down early.

Well if it gets released on Windows I'll test it out for you.

I have no idea how to compile so I have to wait.

EDIT: Does anyone have a link for dummies on how to compile

Ok so don't laugh.

Mining on bcmultipool using my Acer A200 and Samsung Galaxy S3. Yes I am getting BC, not much but they are coming in.

Now getting ready to use the Acer A500 and Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 Edition also.

Am I a sick individual or what?


How did you set up mining from your phone? I want to try it out.

Program called Crypto Miner. I did the paid version. It does scrypt, jane, quark and sha256. You can do the free version also but it does not run in the background. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.miner.pro

Really easy to set up. Put in pool and port. Worker name and worker password.

It works just don't expect a lot.

I can get 4 motherboards for that

What's the point then?

Who buys these things???
People bad in math, I guess

I'm paying about $190 for the sku that allows me to directly connect 4 GPUs and use an ATX PSU to power the adapter boards.

My math says that for $450 + cost of GPUs, I can get 6 cards running just by running 6 cards per system with x1 risers.
My math says that for $820 + cost of GPUs, I can get 12 cards running on one system by using two of the x4 splitters with a single system.

Tells me I'm saving $80 per 12 GPU's I want to scale.

Probably close enough to not matter, but I just think it's cool to get 12 cards working on one system. Plus, the supplier said that volume discounts are applicable.

To be honest...I could probably design a clone of their host and adapter boards pretty easily...I wouldn't have a problem having PLX sending me their silicon. If I was serious about mining, that's probably what I'd do. If I didn't have a nice office job, it's probably something that would be fun to try. It's just an over-glorified high speed inter-poser board. I'm sure PLX has a reference design that takes the guesswork out of the schematic and layout. It may be interesting to do a BOM scrub of the host/adapter boards, contact the suppliers, and see how much it costs in materials. If only I had the time. Smiley If you were semi-serious about GPU mining and wanted to fill a small warehouse, designing your own PCIe extender assembly with PLX silicon would probably be a good move given then triviality of designing the host/adapter boards.

Christian, that other x1 splitter you're linking to splits the bandwidth of a single x1 PCIe link between four cards. Given that cudaminer chokes an x1 slot with one card already, splitting that four ways sounds like a horrible idea. From what I can tell running one instance of cudaminer for a 750 Ti with 5x24 config uses about 68% of a PCIe 2.0 x1 interface bandwidth. Of course, if you find a way to severely reduce the BW required by Cudaminer, then yes, that cheaper splitter could work just fine.

The PLX based splitter that I linked two is actually an x4 to four x1 bridge. Big difference.

I'm doing all of this more just for fun than to try and make a buck. I consider all money spent on anything related to mining basically lost. Smiley



Does this trick windows into thinking there is only 1 gpu or will it read 4 gpus?

Only reason asking I can see having 2 of these for a total of  8 750ti's. Plus keeping 1 main card in my rig to run my 3 monitors and still mine like I am currently doing. That is of course if Windows 7 would read 3 cards total or 9 cards total. I know Windows 7 Won't run 9 cards.

Got my first payout!  59BC!

SO AWESOME!

thats 59 blackcoins,  purchased from the market! ha!


Game changer

Sounds good to me.

What is your hash rate?
1610  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: March 14, 2014, 09:54:58 PM
I'm running:
2x ASUS OC 750 Ti
2x MSI TF 750 Ti
2x EVGA FTW 750 Ti

EVGA are the best for me.

Running two windows windows concurrently with these settings: -H 2 -i 0 -C 1 -T5x24

Gave me 40-60 kH/s boost across six cards to push me consistently over 1800 kH/s. I still need to re-tweak the ASUS cards as their OC is low and not optimized.


The main point of showing this is that I have been able to recoup some of the "lost kH/s" from the "cudaminer riser bottleneck," but not all of it. Some of these cards will do 340 kH/s when plugged into an x16 slot directly and using the -H2 flag.


I have bought one of these babies: http://amfeltec.com/products/flexible-x4-pci-express-4-way-splitter-gpu-oriented/

It is an active x4 to 4x x1 bridge. They use PLX silicon, so it should be legit. I am getting the sku that allows me to power the card on the "adapter" boards. I have purchased four SATA male to FDD adapters from monoprice and plan to use cards that have a six-pin PCIe power header to make sure I'm not pushing too much current through the adapter board (better safe than sorry). The ribbon cable between the host and adapter board is 3.3VAUX and signals ONLY, so we don't have to worry about melting ribbon cable riser cables. smile.gif

The host to adapter board pinout is GND, PRSNT, TX+,TX-,RX+,RX-,CLK+,CLK-, RST,AUX3v3

If any of you guys who have 4+ rigs under your control and have found a cheaper solutions towards a PCIe bridge/extender, please let me know. I think that this may be one of the best ways to do it.

I confirmed that on my Z87-PRO MB that the first two x16 slots will operate at up to x8 link width while still working with four additional risers. Adding this PCIe extender will allow me to run 9 cards on one motherboard. Theoretically, I could purchase an additional extender and run 13 cards. I will be interested to know what limits I hit with Windows 7x64 + Nvidia driver. I figure after I hit 8 GPU's, I'll need to switch to Linux. It will be interesting to see how things scale with Cudaminer today. I believe that this is how we make the 750 Ti scalable to compete with the higher hash-rate density cards out there on the AMD/ATI side.

C

Man that is one expensive riser but it sure sounds awesome.

What is the difference between atx version and external version? Don't they both need a regular power supply to run?

I am thinking hard about them. Seems a lot simpler to hook up and run. I am just so confused about do I need a powered or non powered riser. Running at this or that speed. This makes it seem like it is just a "plug and play" type version.

Simpler is better for me.

Wish I knew how to code to help you all out. Unfortunately I have no idea how to do it.

But I can support you by using your pool and donating when everything is up and running. I'll definitely switch from YPool.
1612  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: March 14, 2014, 04:07:13 PM
is ready!

Christian, did you think about adding a fee in the program, similarly to all those protoshares miners for ypool do?
That would make it more profitable for you to share the software earlier perhaps.

Say a 2.5% fee. That would be fair.

as I stated, I haven't even begun thinking about modalities for a release yet. I am still in development mode here.
But I appreciate your input.

Whatever I do, this has to be agreed on with the other Christian Wink

Christian


I feel you guys should add a fee in also. It is up to use,the public, to decide if we want to use miner.

I understand that it can be edited out but I feel that most people would appreciate the work from the authors and leave it alone. If it wasn't for their work we would not be making the profit.

I have been using the YPool Cudaminer that has a 3% fee. I know someone went in and changed it to that because original it was 6%. That was a little unfair on top of the 5% fee from Ypool in my opion. Well the author changed it to 6% because he had it at 10% to begin within. But the point is the person deserves some kind of copensation for their work and time put into the work involved.

JMHO.

Congratulations, I see that you've released your YPOOL miner and I believe that the RIC network difficulty will be at its highest this week.

Last weekend, I fully implemented my miner using x86-64 assembly code in order to have a fair comparison with my GPU implementation. On the same hardware, with 20 Intel E5-2697 v2 CPUs total, I can now solve 24-32 blocks per day (@1300-bit difficulty) when taking the orphaned blocks into account. I currently do not have any server hardware that can support the AVX2 instructions which would have resulted in a 30 percent increase in performance.

Congratulations again - I will be back to this hobby late April or early May.

Sorry for the typos, I am on my smart phone as usual.

I did - privately for now, and I'll open source it in a few weeks - and with the help of a brave soul on ypool, diff has reached a new peak.  1368 and probably rising.  I don't have a great comparison with the 2697, but it sounds like you've still got a 20-25% edge on my miner.  I still haven't -- and don't want to -- touch the gmp internals, but it's getting closer to that point.  Currently sieving out the first 200m-1b primes (depending on memory), and it's diminishing returns.



So it is time for me too stop mining Rie with my 4 puny cpu's now?

Mining on YPool (not dumping, holding) but can't figure this out. Here is what I am mining with

Which miner are you using (and which version)?

xptminer, not sure version. Thought this was the only one for Ypool. Found it when Ypool got the coin.
Which OS? The reason I'm asking is because there is an optimized linux version here: https://github.com/clintar/xptMiner
It may be possible to compile on other operating systems, I'm not sure...

Using windows 7 64bit on all 4 machines. I am also running the 64 bit version of the miner and never tried the 32 bit version of it.

But I have no idea how to compile. i have been reading but never tried it.

Just don't don't know why the 1100T is so far ahead, unless I am just over reading the stat on Ypool and it doesn't matter.

Mining on YPool (not dumping, holding) but can't figure this out. Here is what I am mining with

AMD 1100T at 3.4978 share value/h -t 5
AMD 8350 at 0.7775 share value/h -t 4
AMD Phenom II x3 at 0.7745 share value/h -t 2
Intel Xeon L5520 at 0.3891 share value/h -t 7

Just curios why the 1100T is outperforming the Intel and 8350 so much? (I know the 8350 is only using half of its cores/modules. I have to since it is my main rig that I do everything with while mining.)
None of the cpu's are overclocked, heat issue right now with gpu's in each rig. Looking at Core Temp it shows all the cpu load 88-97% and fluctuating. Could that be a reason the Intel and 8350 is so low? I am not expecting much from the Phenom X3.

I am ok with what I am getting about 6-8 coins per day actually paid out. Just think I am leaving some on the table right now.

Thanks for any advice.

Is there any need to upgrade to the newest wallet if we have no issues with the current one?

I am not sure since all mining is done.
1618  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [GPUC] GPU Coin on: March 11, 2014, 03:10:33 PM
Just a curios question and no complaints.

How is it I am getting more coins a day now with the same hash rate and difficulty rising?

Is it possible less people are mining it now?
1619  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: March 11, 2014, 02:32:22 PM
Hello, I just installed the new 335.23 driver on my windforce 3X GTX 770, and now Cudaminer is giving the following message:
'[2014-03-11 08:58:15] Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?'
I use the newest version of Cudaminer given, in combination with CUDA manager (version 1.2.1). If I try to run the miner outside of manager, it starts and then rapidly disappears. My set-up is as following:

Corsair Vengeance 16 GB : 2 x 8 GB
Toshiba DT01ACA100 1 TB
Kingston SSDNow V300 120 GB
Thermalright Macho Rev.A
Intel Core i7 4770K / 3.5 GHz
Asus B85-PLUS
Gigabyte GTX 770 OC Windforce 3X
Windows 7 (completely up to date)

Edit: When I use the rollback function to get back to my previous driver, the error keeps persisting.

Edit 2: Performing a clean install as we speak.

Edit 3: The clean install did not resolve the issue, I did it twice to be sure, but the problems still persists.

I got the same message.

I just rebooted the machine and all was fine.

But I take it since you did a clean install you rebooted.

The price hike on Nvidia 750ti is steadily rising.

I went into Fry's this weekend and the 750ti OC went from $154.99 to $169.99 and now it was $199.99.
The Asus (I believe gamer edition) was $209.99.

So glad I got mine the day they came out.

The regular 750 (non ti) are still at the price when they came out. $144.99-$149.99. Depending on wich version you get.

Hate to say it but when the 800 series come out, they will either be at MSRP or a few weeks later will be over it.

I'd suggest you get them first chance you get to save some money.
