Looks like bitslapper forgot about us Nvidia guys. AMD got their update, and we're just sitting ducks....

Are you guys using the miner for Nvidia in the first post?

Well as for Bittrex I've had my eye on their wallet, and sometimes their wallet is about 20 blocks behind from what I've noticed, this could be in part why withdrawls can take some from their system. I'd presume the reason for this is lack of computing cycles, but have no definitive data as of yet. I'll keep everyone posted, but yes 1.0.3 will speed up transaction processing with the activation of the PoS channel, which will bring blocks every minute on top of the 150 seconds for each minting channel.
Thank You,
Viz.
sounds like there will be a awesome staking party. drinks on me  But I don't drink..... |

If any of you coders that made custom miners that get 500MH/s on widows 280x cards, pm me. I am a trusted member of the community, started the VNL IRC channel, and would offer a % of my VNL mining without need to worry about leaks. I mine with 8 280x cards. I believe in the coin and plan on holding them. Thanks.
Naive you guy No, he's not naive. I am naive Spend days and weeks on test chains knowing that I'll lose my coins. The premise was strong: Everyone with the same chance, fair distribution etc... Guess what? The first thing dropped was the fair distribution. John said it was difficult to do, had more important things to do. There was no such thing as test chains, there were forks because the client was in an alpha phase and was labeled an experimental client. I managed to fork 2-3x while solo mining for 2 months, all I had to do is to follow the forum closely and play with backups and do full syncs. The distribution is fair compared to 99% of the coins ever launched. Edit: You can't just start mining with an experimental client and leave your client on for days/weeks, do nothing and expect to get rich. According to what you wrote you did exactly that, because how else would you have not noticed that you are on a fork. Were you here from the beginning? There were test chains, that they were exactly that. You participate, but your earned coins don't count. I participate knowing that. I solo mine some thousand coins and they are lost. I don't complain. I knew that. What I did not knew is that the "fair distribution" thing was the first feature to be dropped. How was the fair distribution dropped when at one point 150+ peers were solo mining with an avarage of 2 home desktops? And that lasted atleast 1 month from the 2 months I've been mining. I know lots of people who mined the same amount of coins or more than I did. I mined 15k in 1.5-2 months solo mining on mostly 1 x6 and sometimes turned on another dualcore to help out. Some people mined with 3 CPUs and did that for a longer time than I did. For me, this seems pretty fair. Man, it was fair in the beginning, but now the top guys do one thousand times more VNL/Day than the average user. That's what I mean. And don't tell me that they spend more than the average user to rend their rings. The whole story of fairness is to spread the hash to more people, than to a few with rented Gigahashes. That was the premise of VNL when I first met her  As far as I remember John stated over at vanillacoin.net that every level/size of user will have it's own mining phase. The small (avarage) user had the solo mining phase, now the bigger investors with gpu farms have their own and if everything goes well we will see asics in the future for corporations / huge investors. This is as fair as it gets imho, you can't expect your coin to have a value without bigger investors, most small time miners only seek a fast profit and will sell at the first 2-3x opportunity. From an economic perspective, this seems like a really good distribution model. You really need to check how most coins are distributed nowadays: someone launched an X11, fpga farms and a few miners rape it, it pumps and dies in 2 weeks. Complaining here about the fairness and distribution is pretty pointless imho. The only thing that I don't think is fair is how you've mentioned that small miners have a smaller phase of mining compared to larger miners. And the fact that small miners were also just a part of the initial solo mining phase. You guys could have made those 2 months to 1 year for a better definition of fairness. However, what you're saying is, 'if you heard about us in the first two month, great, otherwise good luck'. And your last definition of how ASICs would eventually hit the coin in the future is also incorrect as it differs from coin to coin, the coding and technologies. |

What values did you set that gave you 300 mh/s on the 980?
You probobly need to move some constants from the constant memory to the intruction cache. Don't remember. Ask wolf0 He says he has no idea as he doesn't do Nvidia anymore. Why didn't you just update github with that increase? What is your hashrate with the current miner? ( Max overclock) 296-297 mh/s @ 1624 Mhz |

Snatched up about 135,000 CSD today from 500 to 600 sats.
I'm in this one for the long haul. Moving off exchange right now and looking forward to Proof-of-Stake
aw man i was eyeballin that chunk too. id be happy if someone put some more up forsale as BitcoinSanDiego beat me to it Haha, I tried to do some trading but kinda failed. Someone dumped into my orders this morning ~ 500 sats. Then I did a little trading trying to pickup more. Finally decided just to snatch up what was left between 550-600 this evening. Now they go into cold storage until 1.0.3 . How long did it take for the CSD to show up in your wallet after withdrawing from Bittrex? I made 2 test withdrawals and they both say completed but I've received neither to my local wallet... Well I already got a TX ID so I know that the Bittrex wallet sent the coins. But I'm still synching the wallet even though I already withdraw the coins. So I won't know how long it takes for the transaction unfortunately, sorry It may have been better to send the coins after the new wallet was released, but I guess the exchange isn't the best place to keep them either. |

Bought meself some at 501. Mine other alt coins, and buy up CSD, that's the plan for now.

Thought I'd bring this up, my CPU miner or the primepoolminer keeps exiting itself randomly within the day, not sure if it's something from the back end, but it's happening a lot recently.
If I put a pause in the bat, it then quits to the pause without any reason....

Why is the difficulty so low ?
Farms kicking in and out, playing with the difficulty. The coin is great, but when farms kick in, it's pretty much their coin. That is what they think, but this isn't accurate. Difficulty isn't the only thing moving here, but blocktimes. Jumping on an off with a huge hash won't get them any advantage here, read about the difficulty retargeting in the OP and in the whitepaper. I know what you're saying, but the longer block times still doesn't really help us smaller miners. But it causes problems for pool hoppers, which on the long run should demotivate them. The coin launched with a long solo mining phase which was well announced previously, that was perfect for smaller miners, currently with this price level it is clear that people with 1-2 gpu's and higher electricity costs will not profit from mining here. Either you mine because you believe in this, or mine something more profitable and buy VNLs from BTC earned elsewhere. Ofcourse if you are a developer and can further optimize your miners like Wolf0 can, you could still potentially profit (not much), but honestly the price is 2 low currently compared to what the coin will offer in the future. We simply have no hype and also don't intend to cause huge hype waves since we still consider this a beta. I think the coin is still profitable with two bigger AMD cards, but what I feel like is that either the pool operators or the algo itself should make some implementation as to how many mh/s can technically be allowed from one ip/user/account as to make it fair game. Right now at supernova, the guy with the highest hash has enough hash as adding up all the rest of the miners in the pool and that's a bummer. Because of that, no one else could leave the pool as no other pool would get nearly as many blocks, and like they say, more than 50% of hash at just one pool can kill the coin. This is all the stuff that we already know. As far as miners go, it's all a dev's game that even make coins mineable. AMD from what I see, has more dev's and better support in their miners, compared to Nvidia, even though the Maxwell architecture is far for better per watt. And just like you said, my partially optimized whirlpoolx miner by sp and others e.g. gives me 292 mh/s @ OC'ed 980 at temps peaking at 37C, while taking just 60% of the overall TDP. Meaning that while it can go further, we just need more support. And I'm actually doing the opposite of what you said, by actually selling this coin and buying something that I consider a little more valuable for the future. |

With 1.5.43(sp-MOD), I'm getting 50-80 watts lower than 1.5.42(sp-MOD) with some better performance on Whirlpoolx, even without being optimized for Compute 5.2. I did not recompile.
Try the version compiled by the cryptomining blog. Faster? how many watts? I didn't tweak the parameters on compute 5.2 cards yet. in the file: cuda_whirlpoolx.cu you can try to alter these values: #define TPB 512 #define NONCES_PER_THREAD 8 tpb must be a number above 256 and dividable by 32 you can also search for __launchbounds in the file and change the ,3 to something else. What values did you set that gave you 300 mh/s on the 980? |

Makes sense, no wonder all the others are AMD farms. |

Yea I don't think we really needed another cpu pool :p
|
|

I think what these guys are saying that if you could decrease the automatic payout amount from the pool?
I remember first it used to payout when the total balance was 3-5 CSD, then it became 10-15 CSD, now at 20 CSD, I'm not sure if we're getting our payouts the same way.

1 BTC buy at bittrex, looks like someone is finally interested.
|

|

We have upgraded our pool to use Videlicet's excellent pool server, in mpos style of course. We could always use some more workers!How about a gpu pool bro? |
|

It's almost like crypto entertainment seeing people trade CSD on bittrex, of placing orders for getting the best price, one after the other.
