No, I couldn't think of an implementation for radix sort in a hashing algorithm that couldn't be done more quickly and with less memory than quicksort, and also any way to really effectively insert it into the hashing algorithm and be easily invertible.

I'll pm you later about the other implementation, it's still FPGA and ASIC hard.  I wish I had the time to work on it more or the money to pay a coder to implement it.

I own one of these cards, voltage unlocked but runs HOT, the only way I could get it to run cool mining LTC was to rip the fans out and strap 120mm fans on it :/

Thanks for the link !

I prefer to "enhance" like this :

That approach was naive, although I figured out another solution to it.

Ignore cgminer and go with whatever the temperature in gpu-z is.  That is correct.  You can also tell if the voltage changed by changes in temperature.

See this thread for why it's a bad idea to make scrypt use tons and tons of memory

this comes up like every week or so

Thread concurrency is too low, increase thread concurrency
1987  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Scrypt Mem usage/ CPU power tradeoff on: March 26, 2013, 06:40:08 PM
This is the scrypt core from reaper's implementation,
Code:
void scrypt_core(uint4 X[8], __global uint4*restrict lookup)
{
shittify(X);
const uint zSIZE = 8;
const uint ySIZE = (1024/LOOKUP_GAP+(1024%LOOKUP_GAP>0));
const uint xSIZE = CONCURRENT_THREADS;
uint x = get_global_id(0)%xSIZE;

for(uint y=0; y<1024/LOOKUP_GAP; ++y)
{
#pragma unroll
for(uint z=0; z<zSIZE; ++z)
lookup[CO] = X[z];
for(uint i=0; i<LOOKUP_GAP; ++i)
salsa(X);
}
#if (LOOKUP_GAP != 2) && (LOOKUP_GAP != 4) && (LOOKUP_GAP != 8)
{
uint y = (1024/LOOKUP_GAP);
#pragma unroll
for(uint z=0; z<zSIZE; ++z)
lookup[CO] = X[z];
for(uint i=0; i<1024%LOOKUP_GAP; ++i)
salsa(X);
}
#endif
for (uint i=0; i<1024; ++i)
{
uint4 V[8];
uint j = X[7].x & 0x3FF;
uint y = (j/LOOKUP_GAP);
#pragma unroll
for(uint z=0; z<zSIZE; ++z)
V[z] = lookup[CO];
#if (LOOKUP_GAP == 2)
if (j&1)
salsa(V);
#else
uint val = j%LOOKUP_GAP;
for (uint z=0; z<val; ++z)
salsa(V);
#endif

#pragma unroll
for(uint z=0; z<zSIZE; ++z)
X[z] ^= V[z];
salsa(X);
}
unshittify(X);
}

It looks like the scratchpad is regenerated extensively for cases of LOOKUP_GAP != 2 but not for LOOKUP_GAP == 2, in which we
Code:
		if (j&1)
salsa(V);

As compared to
Code:
		uint val = j%LOOKUP_GAP;
for (uint z=0; z<val; ++z)
salsa(V);

The first loop is a simplication of the bottom loop for this specific case, and it looks like it only needs one run of salsa to keep moving.

Hi,

I meant to dump the contents of scrypt-poclbm.ini between a bracketed "code" and "/code" in your post (just put brackets around those), I can't see anything in the post you gave above.
1989  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Terracoin Difficulty Question on: March 26, 2013, 06:45:58 AM
The problem is mainly in transaction times... as this gets worse it could slow to one block an hour and take forever to confirm.  This would effectively halt the chain if it became severe enough, as no one can transfer their coins to anyone else in a reasonable amount of time.

You need to hard code a fix for the difficulty algorithm if you want to correct this.
1990  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Terracoin Difficulty Question on: March 26, 2013, 06:21:49 AM
Why is terracoin difficulty jumping around 3x back and forth? Anyone else see a pattern here? Looks like some big miners are exploiting the fast difficulty adjustment. I guess so much for the supposed feature 'miner jump resonance free'

Someone please make a chart to trace back when this all started

Code:
height difficulty
96000  5001
96030  8254
96060  2671
96090 10580
96120  3830
96150  9622
96180  3270
96210  8391
96240  3029
96270  9203
96300  2330
96330  8029


Was kind of waiting for this, I published that python exploit script a while ago and I figured someone would jump on it...

It's good to see that someone's put one hour of my hard work into use I guess.

Come mine litecoins with us.

It costs 100x more power to mine 1 USD in LTC as compared to BTC with an ASIC.  Get your money's worth -- there's a reason it's more profitable to miner LTC than BTC right now.

most likely you will get more kh/s by using --gpu-memclock 1200

I can't see the output of your poclbm-scrypt.ini file above, you might want to try posting it with the

How do you guys usually do the short?  Just cut it out of the ribbon and then connect them with a wire?
You see the picture in the OP ? This red thing is a wire,

Use a solid core cat5 braid and insert in behind the pin of either the extender or the slot itself.

How do I keep it from making contact with the other nearby pins?

1996  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: WTF! all ltc pools under attack!!! on: March 25, 2013, 01:26:22 AM
ltcmine.ru is up, been accepting shares throughout the attack too

Someone's trying to game the difficulty, looks like it's not working all that well as many pools are surviving, coinotron and notroll are all still accepting shares, all the other pools are still giving/accepting work

Okay.  For some reason those are all default settings entered for user, password, host, and port.  Can you select File --> Save in guiminer and then dump the contents of C:\Users\you\AppData\Roaming\poclbm\poclbm_scrypt.ini here?  You can remove your miner passwords if they are saved there

Hi,

From the above the problem is with your credentials.  Do you have a registered account at ltcmine.ru and worker credentials (-u user -p password should be your username and password for worker)?
