Just need to code the part for the mining proxy now.  Gonna take a break, need food.
2142  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GUIMiner-scrypt: A GUIMiner fork for mining scrypt chains on: March 09, 2013, 11:07:59 PM
Thanks!

Update for today, reaper and cgminer work.
todo: make mining proxy work (easy), install defaults for every card

Whatever you can afford, I'm trying to get a working version out today but I'll warn you that it's error checking free at this point
2144  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GUIMiner-scrypt: A GUIMiner fork for mining scrypt chains on: March 09, 2013, 03:15:08 PM
Just sent you 50 LTC.

It looks great!!!

Thanks!!
2145  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GUIMiner-scrypt: A GUIMiner fork for mining scrypt chains on: March 09, 2013, 03:12:18 PM
I will add a tab to configure and run your mining proxy.

Wx is a nightmare to work with, I wish I knew why qt or vs wasn't used.  Expect the alpha to at least be a little buggy.

Like it has previously been stated in this thread, I can't get my 7970 to run in Reaper with thread concurrencies of 20992, 21712, or 24000 and lookup gap set to 2.  Reaper just crashes immediately.  Thoughts?
what error does it give?  OS, driver/sdk versions?  reaper version?
2147  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Consolidated Litecoin Mining Guide for 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx GPUs on: March 09, 2013, 06:09:53 AM
anyone can tell me the power consumption of HD5850 when mining ltc ?
depends on volts/clocks.  stock it should be the same as the tdp.

thanks taco! whats your LTC address?

Does that mean the Litecoin block chain is centralised or Coblee and laseek would be relying on a consensus of >51% of nodes to agree to this?

Only as much so at the bitcoin chain also is, as that's checkpointed constantly too.

See: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Incidents#CVE-2010-5139

Checkpointing just means storing an older copy of the chain to revert to with an update that patches whatever bug is found.  The user base doesn't need to use the updated client if they don't want to, that's up to them.

Presenting GUIMiner-scrypt, a shoddily programmed fork of GUIMiner!



The program is a frontend for reaper and cgminer and is intended to simplify things for new miners and remove yet another barrier to entry for scrypt/litecoin mining.

FAQ
Q: How do I use the stratum proxy?
A: Enter the host and the stratum port and click start.  It should announce that the proxy is connected.  Then, point your miners at host: localhost, port: 8332.  Run your miners as normal; you should see shares/hash rates reported.
Also note that cgminer has its own stratum support built in.  To use that instead, select "Yes" for Use stratum in the miner tab and point the miner directly at the stratum port of your pool.  If you still want to use the stratum proxy with cgminer, you must select "No" for this option.

Q: How do I update cgminer to the latest version?
A: Download cgminer and dump the contents into the /cgminer/ folder, replacing the old version of cgminer.

Q: Why are my speeds not close to those reported in the original FAQ?
A: In addition to tuning the parameters of the program, you will need to tune the GPU core speed and memory.  For 5xxx/6xxx cards a good ratio is 0.70 - 0.80 core / memory clock speeds.  For 7xxx cards, ratios are best under 0.68, with the 7970 preferring ratios at or under even 0.57 in reaper.
To find your memory speed from the core speed, simply divide by the ratio, e.g. 900 MHz core / 0.68 = 1325 MHz RAM.

Q: Shares reported by the stratum proxy are not the same as shares reported by the card.  Why is this?
A: It is a bug to be fixed in a later update.

Q: I hit the start button with cgminer for the first time and nothing happened!
A: Wait for 2-3 minutes and see if mining begins.  The reason is that cgminer needs to build the kernel to run.  If nothing still happens, post in this thread as it may be a bug.

Q: I'm getting lots of stales with cgminer and high thread concurrencies; why is this?
A: The current cgminer kernel seems to have trouble with high thread concurrencies.  If it throws lots of reject shares that come up at the pool as invalid, try switching to reaper.

Q: I'm using an nVidia card and it doesn't work, why is this?
A: You need to install the CUDA toolkit for the kernel to compile.

Q: My miner windows doesn't appear onscreen!
A: Delete C:\Users\You\AppData\Roaming\poclbm\poclbm-scrypt.ini.

Q: Why does my cudaminer miner tab hang on "Connecting"?
A: Because python's subprocess can not see cudaminer's output no matter what I tweak on it.  If the author of cudaminer releases a new version in the future that has stdout streams compatible with python 2.7, I will fix this.  In the meantime, if you navigate to the "/cudaminer/" directory, you'll see that a batch file is added after you press start that you can check your performance from.

Q: Something is wrong and cgminer isn't giving me helpful output to GUIminer-scrypt.  What do I do?
A: For more verbose output, run the batch file ("your-miner-name.bat") in the /cgminer/ directory.  This is generated whenever you hit the "Start" button and will show the cgminer console so you can better troubleshoot your problem.

Q: How do I setup a backup pool?
A: Add a second pool with "-o stratum+tcp://yourpool.com:3333 -u user -p pass" in extra flags.  You can add as many as you like in this fashion.

I thought the extra shaders of 5850s were laser cut? Does this just have a 5870 bios?

Still waiting on that credit report from you... otherwise satisfied with service. Smiley

Thanks, I'm glad your satisfied. As for the credit report, I already messaged you saying that while 9/10 I can get it, I wasn't able to pull the credit report on the subject. He/She had a block on it.

Oh, okay! For some reason I never got the e-mail, probably went to spam.

Everyone gpu mines now, it's 10x more efficient than CPU. See sig thread

Intensity/aggression 13 or 14 is best if you still want to use the computer

People who have pmed me, I'm sick w flu, will get back to you soon

Yes

And just don't put it in the config

Reaper.conf is invalid, see 1st page
2160  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Flaws in the design of Litecoin..? on: March 05, 2013, 02:49:36 AM
If someone created an ASIC for litecoin yes it would overtake most of the network. But that would be wildy un-economical at current market prices.



So if litecoin prices made it economically viable to produce a custom ASIC for mining what kind of difference in the rate of mining are we talking about here (to a rough order of magnitude). Because if sufficient that could be a pretty big killer for litecoin; both in terms of outcompeting the incumbent miners and assuming >50% of the hashrate.

Coblee and laseek checkpoint the chain, so if someone does something silly like 51% or get a block of 21 billion coins we can roll back. The real question is why someone spending millions of dollars designing and taping out ASICs would destroy the only use they have for them.
