nope but im not tech savy enough to use that with my radeon r9 290x im afraid

to be honest whatever happens with gpu mining I still believe this coin has a big future, its such a bargain price at the moment.

i tell you what i'm noticing some of these buy orders are big, i think a lot of the hvc is going into a few hands so that it's inevitable before too long that the price is set for a surge as not that many people will want to sell. I for one have horded as much HVC as possible from the very beginning.

this coin will be fine, there will be a huge influx of mining/difficulty increase when the gpu miner comes out.

thats true but if nobody wants something it doesnt matter if there is 1 of it or a billion. Anyway you can cast your vote as you see fit as part of the voting process.

short term it probably does because less of the currency is available to buy. long term I agree with you.

What hash rates are you getting on your hardware? Just want to compare... something.  Roll Eyes

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T - CPU standalone ca 95 kHash/s on 6 threads

AMD Phenom II X6 1055T using the first 3 GPUs in the machine and 6 CPU threads: close to 800 kHash/s   (Groestl remains on CPU)

cannot get GPU use readings, as GPU-z has decided to always crash on start after the previous driver update (revision 334 drivers I think). Currently running R 335 drivers from nvidia.
   

ok it doesnt seem so bad actually, hes only getting that improvement with the cpu and 3 gpus, can't see it being a massive gain overall and would require most rig owners to buy better cpus. the difficulty might not even make it viable.

You are probably right although I hope they aren't able to offload HVC from CPU altogether because I happen to have a good graphics card in my rig so if I could get the 8x increase I would essentially be running on 192 cores without many others being able to do similar . Regardless though it wont be the death of this coin, being gpu mineable might actually increase the coins popularity. Dark is GPU mineable and that is still doing well.

this is a good point but again it will take a monetary investment and leave them unable to gpu mine. say they buy quad core amd chips, this will give them essentially 32 cores. o not be able to GPU mine the sacrifice isn't worth it, I have 2x12 core xeons and only get around 280hvc per day from them and the difficulty is low now. Like I said the ones who will benefit are those with good cpus a single nice GPU as well, basically gaming rigs.

no my point(which you have clearly missed) is that if you have 4x gpus in a mining rig with a single core processor(this is standard) then are you going to want to continue gpu mining or choose to in essence convert that single core processor into a quad core(8 thread) processor. That one is a no brainer, with an 8 thread processor I could mine very few HVCs per day but in monetary terms it would be much more profitable to just use the rig as intended, as an out and out GPU miner. Thus this 8x increase only really benefits someone who say has a quad core already with a decent gpu which can essential convert it into a 32 core processor for minign HVC. not many in the crypto world have this, they either are a cpu miner with loads of cores and shitty gpus or gpu miners with loads of gpus and shitty single core processors.

I think 8x improvement is too shabby when it means sacrificing the ability to gpu mine also. whos gonna really benefit? those with decent cpus and decent gpus in the same rig. most gpu miners have shitty single core processors which in this instance will be turned into 8 threads but again to do this they lose the ability to gpu mine other coins.

Thanks Dev, that's what I thought in fairness, plus logically most gpu miners only have single core processors so it wont give them a huge spike in performance and any improvement will make it impossible to gpu mine at the same time.

yeah i basically mine with gpu on it also but mainly I just wanted a monster that will be pretty future proof and so far I love it, does exactly what it says on the tin. I can game to the max if i want while still using 67% of the cpus to mine. In fact for use as a normal pc its fine when using 47 of the 48 threads to mine. don't get me wrong i don't have buckets of money but I had an ebay business over the xmas period and used the profits to buy this thing, boom!. if you want to be a CPU miner just buy second hand servers from ebay.

had mine built to spec at www.scan.co.uk, 6k pc though.

that seems silly, i have 24 cores in my pc which is 750w, I'd say it isn't worth it.

yes my 2x12core xeon pc mined 2 full blocks the first 14 hours after the coin was launched

devs when you get a change could you please let us know about this gpu support for cpu mining which has been linked above?

but doesnt this mean that 1) you need a decent cpu anyway or 8x speed isnt going to get you far, especially given that cpu farmers have tons and b) it requires your gpu to be out of action so cannot mine for other alts?

is this even worth it? most GPU farmers have crappy cpus, often single core. surely this means the only people to benefit from this would be people with computers that have strong graphics and cpus?

anyone else want to weigh in?

does it matter what the wallet vote is set to if you are not mining with your wallet?

guys thinking about this rationally dark coin will have 84 million coins, HVC will probably head to around the 90 million mark(based on the voting and block rewards so far). Dark coin although it has a unique function in being anonymous HVC has the voting system that is also unique. DRK was cpu only but now is gpu mineable, HVC is still CPU at this moment. Based on the current situation HVC has a slight edge, DRK is valued at $0.84 per coin, is it just me of or is there no reason why HVC cannot hit and eclipse this per coin value if it remains CPU only?
