 P9676 unit vs a P13210 unit in the examples you post.

 G183 bonus vs G0 bonus is also a major factor. Higher numbers on that indicate a lot higher "early return bonus" which is what higher-end NVidia cards thrive on.

Now you're beginning to get the point; your "more accurate info using REAL folding of REAL units than the benchmark" is meaningless because you're comparing apples to bananas and rounding off to arrive at oranges and strawberries.  Undecided

The wait is for the first altcoin to upgrade to 0.13 with Segwit, with hd seed support and with version bits support. Could it be Digibyte? I hope so!

OK, so you're hoping for Digibyte to be a forever ripoff of Bitcoin?  Huh

Is the 1080 capable of being overclocked as much as the 1070?
 I do concede some of those overclocks (on ALL of the cards) are fairly extreme - but that doesn't negate my point about "real data from real folding".

OK, here's the problem with your chart of randomness: It provides no definable intel to compare even like items and it raises many questions.

Not the least of these questions is: Where did mbmumford get that magical GTX1070?
11/21/2016   P9676   mbmumford   GTX 1070   1531   7544   1920   0:00:07   729,806   R1, C71, G183   Windows 10 x64   [0x18]   5,879.00   8.1
And how did it so vastly outperform his overclock?
10/31/2016   P13201   mbmumford   GTX 1070   1886   7604   1920   0:01:38   686,432   R17, C4, G0   Windows 10 x64   [0x21]   7,242.20   10.6

Is it the same unit with 2 separate runs?

Much more accurate info using REAL folding of REAL units than the benchmark, which only tests specific aspects of folding one at a time...
...
Quote
GTX 1070   2,067
GTX 1080   1,986

OK, I might concede some points after that if the overclockings were similar/comparable.
Come on, +500 on the 1070 and +300 on the 1080, really?
 Huh


Edit: I was wrong about 1 thing, though, the chart was Maxwell on the Titan

I don't know about auto-tune but it sucks!  You have one shot to pick your frequency and then it is locked in and that tab disappears in the settings.  The only way to try different frequency to find the optimal setting is to re-flash the entire device and choose another frequency and subsequently get re-locked in.  I myself am a default kinda guy.  I don't overclock, or mess with the settings along as it hashes like it supposed to.  However in some cases I have found on the S9's or all antminers I have used since the S2 for that matter that is struggling are to run, by bumping it up in 12.5 MHZ increments (or down, but obviously first you want up) you can usually find a stable setting and life goes on.  However I had one unit (S9) that I decided to upgrade the firmware on and thats when I found this stupid frequency issue.  They (bitmain) even warns you about it before you do it, but since it was one unit I went with it.  I don't know what the purpose of it was other than to stop or discourage people from bouncing all over the place with the frequency.  I suppose a lot of people damage their units with this option trying to squeeze every last hash out of their unit.  What they don't understand is if the frequency is too high the machine actually runs slower.  This isn't like a hyper-hash drive in a star wars movie.  This was probably bitmains way to try and curtail the trouble reports.   

They just removed the link, the old page still works; like: http://192.168.1.202/cgi-bin/minerAdvanced.cgi

The main reason they removed is is because the newer hash boards are preset per chip (one could be 512 and another 693), they wanted 1 firmware to update each time they modded something (instead of 10), and setting frequency on the newer ones does nothing but make you feel like you have some say in the matter.

Maybe everyone with s9 v1 should upgrade? Who has a good update to use?
All mine have the Nov 29 update with no issues.

is s9v2 the autotune firmware?? I am wanting to upgrade mine from v1
Well, in case it wasn't obvious ...
I have no idea about what firmware runs in what S9 Smiley
So I didn't answer before, but maybe I should bump this for someone else to answer?

Maybe it was already answered  Huh

GTX 1070s - they're more cost-efficient.
 Or Titan X Pascals - the ultimate folders regular people can get.
Rate: 6 1080s = 6 1070s PLUS 1 980Ti (or even 1 TitanX)
Energy: 7 cards vs 6 to save ~30 watts

Past a hobby rig, whatever "savings" you have are lost in more risers and PSUs.
I'll keep the good stuff, thanks. Wink

One more time...I've got three S7s at Labrador that are still profitable; I've got one A6 and one A721 here at home that, with free power, are also obviously profitable. By my calcs, even an A6 at Labrador would be profitable (not enriching, but profitable). IMHO.


That's the part that so hard to get through to so many hobbyists, even 1BTC per year is profitable (albeit far less fun).  Wink

According to the very first post by Vorksholk in this thread:

Curecoins go to three main areas: Folders, Miners, and Developers. The folders get 76% of the total coins (80% of the coins distributed per day). SHA256 miners get 19% of the total coins (20% of the coins distributed per day). 2% of the total funds are distributed to people who donated to project development. The other 3% is dedicated to Curecoin developers, and will be used for paying for development costs (such as hiring professional programmers, paying for infrastructure, etc.), and for giving back to the community (folding hardware giveaways, faucets, covering 0% mining pools, etc.).

Indeed, you can at least read some. Now the part that you missed learning is that POS is "SHA256 mining"; which means that POW mining receives only a part of that 20%.
When POW hits as "high" as 125TH, then ASIC miners (POW) get about 21-22% of 20%.

Yep S9v1 has indeed lost a lot - the most on this pool - 23.7%
Almost at the point where it would be hard to argue that it's random ...

Or, it could just be that they were a pile of shit not ready for production...  Huh
2315  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: [30+PH] Kano CKPool kano.is 0.9% PPLNS US,DE,SG,JP,NL on: December 16, 2016, 07:14:42 PM
... Sorry if I offended you in some way. Don't take it so hard.  Kiss
...

I'm not offended in the least, I'm just totally over (and have been for well over 6 months now) hearing how we need larger block sizes AND Bitmain is ruining Bitcoin with empty blocks. I can see the claim that x is a result of y; however, if the push is that sizes need to increase, Bitmain is helping push it in that direction (if in no other way than showing people the perils of transaction latency). We are in a realm where democracy rules and if the majority of people wanted it to change, it would; bitching about it while presenting no alternative solution to offer Bitmain's competitors, by way of an option of orphaning empty blocks, is nothing more than pissing into the wind and ranting about having pissed on your leg.

So probably a vote system based on "shares" i.e. how much CURE one owns would be the fairest from a business point of view...

So, in that theory, the guy that sold his coins to buy a new GTX1080s for dedicated folding gets little/no votes?

Also, if you think ASIC miners get 20%, you have no idea how it all works.  Undecided
2318  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]CureCoin - Protein Folding Research based Proof of Work on: December 16, 2016, 05:18:10 PM

And there might of course be the debate about whether a guy who owns only 5 CURE should have as much weight in the decision as Ed Olkkola... In business it's the number of shares that gives the power of decision...
...

As well as "how much weight do the only 4 guys that regularly mine CURE hold?" (99% of all ASIC mined blocks are 5 guys)  Undecided

3) display on a page on curecoin.info the candidate logos with a different Curecoin payment address under each one
4) give one week to people to vote by doing a Curecoin payment to the address that corresponds to the logo they prefer
5) the winner logo is the one that cumulates the highest amount
...

So, in your theory, basically 1 guy with deep pockets can decide all on his own.  Undecided
