Guys who have RX Vega56 how much hashes it give on cryptonight heavy algo ? and what power consumption i have 550W PSU
I think about buying 2 vega cards

4x Vega 56 with powertables and 64 bios

CastXMR und ~160 W/card

Cheers

Wow thats nice. but do powertables actually do something?

I had to apply them, otherwise the value I set in the OverdiveNTool was not used which lead to higher power draw und lower hashes...
...but maybe I messed something else up and didnt noticed. Smiley

@glph3k

Do you plan to include the changes for ETN (https://github.com/electroneum/electroneum/releases/tag/v2.0.0.0) in the near future?
Thanks and best regards. Smiley

1) yes, that is true.  2) I installed pure Display Driver, no AMD settings or anything else (ASUS GPU Tweak works better than AMD Wattman for me). 3) all answers on screenshot of my settings and mining result. My card is ASUS ROG STRIX Radeon RX Vega64 8GB OC , samsung memory.


Do you think you could keep this stable for over a week haha. You are running it at 1708MHz core?? custom regedit? i have been primarily using just overdriventool and tweaking to 1408/950 core and 950/900 mem

What for your "haha"? I installed new driver just today with the settings like on screenshot, it is stable for half a day, after 1 week i will tell you how it behaves . Still I hope CAST XMR will update in a couple of days and we will all have +50% hashrates  Roll Eyes No, i didn't regedit windows. Just drivers+GPU Tweak from Asus+miner.

What's your power draw per card?

what coin uses this ultraheavy algo?

IPBC will once it forks. Should be in the next few hours.

How is this UltraHeavy??

What algo do I specify in xmr stak?

As far as I know only sbrminer and the ipbc-miner (based on xmr stak) are able to mine IPBC right now.
27  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] IPBC | NOW LIVE | NO PREMINE | NO ICO | FIRST MEDIA MINING PLAYER on: April 16, 2018, 09:56:28 AM
In testnet hashrate in ipbc-miner was 2 times biger then not forked algo, but now after fork hashrate doesn't change. Why?
Pool support.ipbc.io

It seems there was no fork...old miner (cast_xmr) still finds valid shares...new miner (srbminer) only finds invalid shares.

Tbh there is no reason to be using blockchain driver for anything anymore. The latest Adrenalin drivers work with everything perfectly.

Yes. Switched a few hours ago and everything is fine. I ended up with the same hashrates (vegas 56).

DERO wallets are back online on stocks.exchange https://stocks.exchange/trade/DERO/BTC .
Wallet are re-designed and written to handle millions of transactions and to work on low resources.
Users can deposit/withdraw any amount and no restrictions on withdraw limit.
Integrated payment address are used by stocks exchange for deposits, so no problem of missing payment_ID etc.
Thanks stocks exchange for integrating new DERO rpc commands in short time.
Numerous optimizations have been carried out in both DERO daemon and wallet. Each and every minute detail/problem is looked carefully and being solved in right manner.



Great. Thanks.

sir... support haven and stellite pliss

Hi,

stelllite is support just use the option "--algo=1" to enforce CryptoNightV7,  that is what they switched to.

Looking into CryptoNight Heavy for SUMO and Haven. But as stated earlier it will probably result in a new app. The changes from CryptoNight to Heavy are to hefty to be implemented efficient in one kernel. So stay tuned.

Regards,
glph3k

Thanks for the update and your work!

Are you guys sure these asics are not re-programmable or next updated-batch will not support changed POW.

I'm an EE and I can assure you if Bitmain, Baikal, etc., truly used ASICs - rather than FPGAs - then they absolutely cannot be changed after manufacture, not even to do something as simple as a logical invert on a single bit somewhere in the algo. This is because the functionality in an ASIC is purely hardware-based, not software, and unlike an FPGA, this functionality is - quite literally - burned into it. Now, an FPGA - Field Programmable Gate Array - is usually considered a stepping stone to an ASIC in that it implements functionality in hardware, but unlike the ASIC the hardware is an array of, well, programmable gates (actually, logic function blocks connected to an I/O matrix). This allows changing the algo in an FPGA even faster than one can load a different mining program on their desktop, but the tradeoff is that FPGAs are generally an order of magnitude or more slower than an ASIC and an order of magnitude higher in cost even if every last LUT and I/O pin is used (which is never the case).

Roughly speaking, FPGAs are nearly as flexible as a GPU, use less power for a given hashrate, but can cost nearly as much; ASICs are a one trick pony with the highest electrical efficiency but which are very cheap to produce (but very expensive to develop), relatively speaking.

The change that Monero made to go to v7 is fairly minor and the current ASIC design should be easy to modify, so, yes, the next batch of ASICs could very well do both the original CN algo as well as v7, but the existing batch of ASICs can only do the original CN algo and nothing else.

Hence why I said the only surefire way to block ASICs is to change the algo - even slightly - every few months. It would still be possible to make an FPGA miner, but those are far less of a threat to decentralization than ASICs for the reasons outlined above.



Thanks a lot. a very good explanation.

Hi guys,
Please recommend a XMC pool, THX! Smiley

This is the Monero thread, not the XMC thread Smiley



So far Monero, Sumokoin and Stellite have changed Algo. IPBC is doing it in less then a week. They opted for a heavily changed algo which should be even harder to crack that Sumokoin one.

Is IPBC just increasing the scratchpad size? I don't think that'd help things, we saw with the Balkai ASIC that it didn't seem to change much (the Balkai could do CryptoNight and CryptoNight-Lite)

They will increase the size yes. But I think they are also changing some others things. That is why its taking them long. They wan't to do the best algo change out of all Cryponight coins. I think that is very good, but we will see. I really like the IPBC project.

Otherwise I bow down to Monero devs and community for sticking it up the ass for ASICs. Monero gained a lot of reputation in my eyes.

I second demotion i will support any coin that fights asic unless they are from scrypt or sha256. I think asic should stick to those algo. Kudos to monero team and monero community for choosing to stay as decentralized as possible.

This!

Also IPBC not only increasing the scratchpad they also adopt the monero changes and also implement a small custom tweak to the Cryptonight algorithm, so ASICs moving to MoneroV7 aren’t compatible.

ETN need to update your algo and protect the netowrk to ASIC, part of the have migrate to ETN network.

From the Electroneum blog (https://electroneum.com/2018/04/06/electroneum-tech-update-instant-payment-patent-more/):

"ASIC Resistance
There seems to be a lot of misinformation circulating about ASICS. ASICS are a type of computer chip designed to do just one job and do it well. There is a new ASIC out that enables owners of those machines to mine ETN at a much higher hashrate than GPU miners, however there are currently only very limited numbers of them, and they are not available to purchase at the moment (they are not easy to buy, we are trying to get some for testing). The next batch are due out in June. We will have our ASIC resistance in place before they become a potential problem to us."

So no real date announced. And I think they dont really care...I guess it will take months until they fork...unfortunately.

which miner software has upgrades already--i have been using cast--and what about mining pools?

Cast since 0.9.0 (http://www.gandalph3000.com/) and more or less all big pools are already upgraded.
36  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [XMR] Monero - A secure, private, untraceable cryptocurrency on: April 06, 2018, 11:46:26 AM
Unknown hash rate still high, so can we assume either that was something more like Javascript mining or can we assume that ASICs were able to update their algorithm too?

We won't really be able to get a good estimate for the unknown hashrate until the difficulty adjusts properly Smiley

Right. Some good information can be found here:

In most pools the hashrate drops massively (e.g. nanopool from ~60 MH to 25 MH) and also a baikal N user confirmed he is not able to mine Monero any more.
Also blocktime has gone up massively.
I think it needs some time to adjust.

I was wondering, how the change from cryptonight "normal" to "heavy" algorithm has influenced the hashing power of different mining hardware.

Therefore I made simple hashrate "study" for my 3 (small) systems - if anybody is interested --> http://sumokoin.aeko.at/sumoheavy.html

Curious about other hardware experiences / figures ... and possibly about improvement of my settings Smiley

BR garantie




I see the same problems (with xmr stak)...I hope cast xmr will be updated soon.

cast-xmr will not help with your problem. CN-Heavy doubled it's memory requirements, so now you see only ±50% of your old Cryptonote hashrate. It's not a bug, it's a feature.

Is it that simple?Or are there ways to improve?

It's a Russian

Soon BAIKAL X10 will enter the D3 era ... worthless to mine ... D3 is non profitable any more

Let's see BAIKAL will continue to price game ?
BATCH 1 for X10 was $1200 and now still they want $2699 ....jokes


Although i am with you regarding prices, and i think Baikal are just Scammers, because they dont release the new Algorithms, which i am sure they already have, at this time, is there any Miner that is still profitable? At least for european users and power prices, at this time all ASIC's are not profitable, because of the low prices for bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies. That is not the fault of Baikal.

As already said, for me, Baikal are scammers anyway. They sold the X10 in octobre with the promise to add two more algorithms "soon". Although we all know, that "soon" is not a precise date, we also know, that 6 months in cryptocurrency market is not "soon" but rather "eternity". And i am 100% sure, they already have the new firmware.

Here you can check profitability for ASICs (in theory):
https://www.asicminervalue.com/
But please consider also other sources regarding algos etc. to get a full view (e.g. fork for the cryptonight coins)

Cheers
