Can you add in the Interactive (-i) flag that CudaMiner has? To make the miner not take up 100% of a cards performance?
-i is already there. Max range is mostly around 20 (-i 17 already gives better control over your desktop), but you can go higher. It will crash if you reach maximum He's working on specifying it per gpu, ATM it's per ccminer process (so just run 2 ccminers, switch with -d 0 -i 17 and -d 1,2 -i 20) Also would it be possible to add in Scrypt and possibly Neoscrypt? I know Nvidia doesnt do these very well, but sometimes i mine just to heat the house at winter (many others too!)
Neoscrypt is in the works https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=916336.0But why would you want scrypt? Need electric heating?

You got it spot on, however what alternative is there for the small fish to be able to compete/get their "fair" share? I've been thinking about it for a while now and haven't figured out any other alternative. It's easy to point out flaws in the distribution system, it is much harder to fix them.
Haha, yeah. I've had loads of thoughts about it too, but it seems pretty hard to solve. PoW, as in Bitcoin, is not it. We've seen what ASICs are doing ATM, you can only get an efficient setup if you throw loads of money at it. Cloudmining generally tends to lean to "Ponzi mining". CEX.IO was doing it the right way, but they had to quit because of profits being lower than maintenance fees. Cloud mining suffers from the same flaws, in the backend, as PoW, because that's what it is (If it isn't Ponzi mining) Artificial PoW as in Burst or these MSCoins are far from what would be ideal. Same flaws as PoW, but are less robust, higher-level. So feel free to partake in such an experiment, but see it as that. It will needs loads of evolution before an MSCoin can become really big (and I'm not talking about a temporary PnD, or even the price). Current PoS implementations can be better, but there's still loads of work to do. High % PoS has fierce difficulty levels. Low % PoS don't distribute that much coins but tend to give it more to low stakeholders. I can see PoS is the way to go, needs some finetuning though

Network is secured by Proof-of-Stake but repartition of coins by Proof-of-Work!
That's a new paradigm in the altcoin/crypto universe.
So the PoW is just for coin distribution? Yes. Kinda useless then. The flaw of PoW (and PoS for that matter) is the flaw of capitalism: loads of money makes more money. But it has one unique quality: securing a decentralized blockchain. This leaves the good part out and you're only left with a competitive game, in which the small fries can only squirm. Can someone counter this argument? I don't see a need for artificial coin distribution, but maybe there is.

tsiv's ccminer, with the latest update in virus definitions, has been placed in the virus vault by AVG. Even assigning an exception makes no difference, which is bullshit. I have always liked AVG but now have to switch.
Microsoft security essentials and your brain is all you need Run untrusted apps you still want to use, in some sort of sandbox/virtual mode and you're good to go.

I get this error every time I try to use release 30
Thought so already IIRC, you're skipping compute3.0 since release 10-ish? Been using the tpruvot branch for my 760, is also a bit more up to date with api etc GTX 650 too old?
Yep, seems like it. You can't blame sp_, the improvements he makes, make use of features not existing in cards with a compute lower than 5.0, so just keep on using the best older one for those cards.

I have now fixed the groestl speedup 2 on github. Klaus_t has been optimizing quark, so I am waiting for a pull request, and then build release 31.
Didn't you say release 30 was the last one? J/k, not complaining ^^" Know the feel too of not being able to let a project go, still so much to do

Access the config file and delete out Yaamp (low payouts for switching software) and wafflepool (gone bust) and trademybit (gone bust). Put in your BTC wallet address (you can use a BTC exchange address as well).
There, fixed it for you ^^" YAAMP, at the moment, has a great offer on one specific algo (go find out yourself which one ), don't ignore it

And it's not real mining. /me roflols

anyone knows how, with visual studio, to get the "release" directory with less crap in it (I still need the ptx though...) ?
Shift-delete the crap yeah but it comes back... Euh.. Nuke it?

First off sorry if this is in the wrong place first time posting. So I am new to this whole mining thing and need some help other than reading non noob tuts. I have this https://i.imgur.com/PUEcuSj.png and https://i.imgur.com/RXYcme9.png and it has been like that for about 6 hours and it is not moving or doing the blocks. so I cannot sync and start mining memorycoin. I have my receive address and a cpu miner but when i try to start mining it says please reconnect in 46 seconds. Do I need to wait for that to catch up before doing it or is thee another way. This is the software I have to do it so if any of this helps please could you help me https://i.imgur.com/klwVeXq.pngYou're starting off with solo? Brave one Yep, if you want to solo, the wallet needs to be fully synced. You can also find a pool (group of miners) in which you can participate, no need for a synced wallet (but there is a small fee). Just google for "memorycoin pool". Seems like memorycoin has gone closed source, and the pools responded the right way: remove that shit. I also advise you to stay away from closed source projects. One cannot verify if what they're doing is safe and legit (they can hold a trojan or something). Ooh man, I did find the source: https://github.com/memorycoin/memorycoinLong time I heard something from MMC, was my first CPU coin too Also, some poorly-implemented wallets tend to get stuck on syncing. You can wait a day, and sometimes it gets through. But most of the time, it won't. So you'll have to go to your appdate>roaming>memorycoin and delete everything EXCEPT wallet.dat. Then resync from start

I have a probleme With my Cpu . Wath is solution Fire. Or a sledgehammer. Your pick. Srsly, tell us what your problems really are and what you're trying to do.

You lie, you have a testing version of my Whirlcoin private Nvidia miner! Ooh snap, you got me there ^^" Yeah, that's gonna make me rich It was like a 10% boost? And a few months ago
|

The Groestl improvements I am working on seems to be gain 50khash, but below 100khash x11 (750ti), but i need to debug it more.
SP - does the miner do diamond groestl? -a dmd-gr

Poor newbie, getting demotivated from the start: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=923905.msg10149772#msg10149772The first month I got in (a year ago), I heard about private kernels too. But it didn't stop me from playing with this Thought me a lot about the monetary systems, (crypto-)trading, the blockchain and it got me back to programming. Now I'm going back to college (was a dropout) and study IT like I mean it. So whatever happened to altcoins & other crypto, and how much of a mess it is these days, I learned great things from it So never get demotivated guys, crypto is great and it's still in it's infancy. Each time we try, it just gets a little better. Each step we climb is one more step up the ladder. Hashcash, Bitcoin and the other oldies, made big leaps and as long as we altcoin miners (go go cudaminers!) keep our shit together, crypto has a bright future So, enough preaching against trolls, can we get back to hashes and nonces?

You don't. GPU mining you can never be profitable at as there are private kernels floating around in the background you have to pay a few bitcoin for and are already distributed to the big miners, public kernels don't have nearly the same hashrate as those.
Putting that aside, there is no profit as Bitcoin just lost 1/3 it's value in the last couples days, which is essentially the mother coin. GPU mining is bust. CPU mining has private kernels as well. That just leaves ASICs as those you can at least see what's on the market, scrypt and sha-256 miners, but once again mother coin problems.
Ooh, finally you acknowledge that it's because of BTC being down. You're starting to see the truth. For everyones interest: It's not just private miners (which have always been here) that are killing the coins, it's the downwards cycle Bitcoin is bringing upon us. Bitcoin down, altcoins (mostly GPU/CPU coins) are going even more down: aka no profits left for miners. There's also the upwards cycle: if Bitcoin booms, altcoins boom even more Altcoins are even more volatile than BTC itself, it's like their "intrinsic volatility" (eat that, buffett) is multiplied by that of BTC. And that's what makes this game so hard. Deal with it like an adult, and either avoid this game or live with it, or just keep on playing the troll you are. But stop pointing at black sheeps that are just gray and aren't alone out there, and claiming it's all their fault. This kind of thinking is also what causes the crypto-investors aversion against miners. When BTC is down, and they see that the volume is going down too, they also notice that the daily flood of BTC (2.5/min) is taking up more % in the sell orders. So they think it's clear: downtrend is because of the miners. But that's the same short sightedness as you're practicing: It has always been there, it's just becoming more noticeable. Didn't stop profits from going up though, so you might think about another reason instead of playing it off as the only truth. FYI: I do not have private miners myself, just mining with the public kernels on 2x 750tis. I'm also a very strong supporter for open-source, have been actively engaging in such communities (mostly filesharing though) for the last 10 years. But I also think that we should stop pointing fingers at those who don't have the same principles, yelling "but he started it " like little children. It will get us nowhere. Instead, you should actively engage in getting people interested in crypto so the right people get to know about it too, and maybe they will give you your fancy free miners.
