Hello friends......
can you tell me which coins support CPU and GPU ?
and which algorithm support CPU and GPU ?
and which sites pools support CPU and GPU ?
thanks
Every coin that supports a GPU, supports CPU. Any coin that has ASICs, has support for GPU too. The only ones that wouldn't fit are cpu-only coins ^^" But I don't know of algos/coins that have GPU and no CPU  |

Hi all,
I've been hoping to set up a small 'learning' mining operations (profit is not a major motivation, but I wish to understand crypto a little more). However, it seems there is no clear list of the legit sites that sell miners. I'm hoping to go with scrypt because that seems like it would be a cheaper way in.
I had considered DRK but cannot figure out what I'd need for x11.
I'm located in Europe so shipping is an issue (i.e. any European specialist miner shops?).
Thanks.
You want mining for fun? Don't buy an ASIC (specialized chips, either SHA256 or Scrypt has them), but a GPU. With ASICs you're stuck to one mining algorithm, aka, there's nothing new to keep your interest & curiosity piqued. ASICs are only good if you know how to scale large and well and get some profit from it. Before ASICs you had GPU and CPU mining. Many new coins have new algorithms (X11, cryptonight, M7, quark, etc....) that don't have ASICs. Your best bet would be to start there. If you don't have a strong GPU around, try playing first with some CPU-only coins like MagiCoin (XMG). You could buy a GPU afterwards if you understand the tricks of CPU mining. My advice would be a GTX750TI (Nvidia), small card that's easy to set-up and to me, is still the best bang for the buck. If you want something stronger, get a GTX970 (Nvidia) or an used AMD R9 etc... If you have a strong GPU already, you can start mining X11 and all the other GPU algorithms. I myself am a miner for fun. I once bought SHA256 ASICs but ditched them because of too much headaches/crashes for too little fun ^^ |

does it work with mono?
No idea, and I won't get my hopes up for it ^^" But it works over the network, so another windoze pc or virtualbox with windoze should work. winblows is no option  KBOMBA-CCMONITOR-WINBLOWS-MONO- Ok, before I even try to read the documentation, would I be able to run ccmonitor on a Win 7-64 computer and monitor a linux rig remotely? Or would I have to run ccmonitor with Mono on the Linux rig, and view it on the Win 7 computer? Mono appears to be a big project. I'll be looking at ccmonitor today. --scryptr Lol, no, normally it should work on your windoze and monitor the linux one from there. I haven't tested it, so please tell me if something goes wrong ^^" You can also find me on the IRC |

Just rolled back to release 21, 6% CPU usage against 44% of release 22.
There's release 23 already: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.msg9976879#msg9976879does it work with mono?
No idea, and I won't get my hopes up for it ^^" But it works over the network, so another windoze pc or virtualbox with windoze should work. winblows is no option Aahw. Well seeing you're a Legendary and you've managed to stick with the game for so long, you'll probably have deeprooted ideals in which Windoze doesn't fit ^^" Well, I'm sorry to say, but I'm just an autodidact when it comes to programming, IRL I'm an ISP technician, so don't expect that much from me  (/me should've just sticked with java, but no, C# just had to be more powerful ) |

Same hashrate on X11 but only 12% cpu usage now ^^ It was 8% before build22 for 2x 750TIs. Thx.  (Started build23 after the last red area/line, ignore the others ) Now let's hope you'll keep the API so I can keep on monitoring. I'm nearing the first release of it, and it would be a real shame if all was for nothing. Source of almost-100%-working ccmonitor is already out there: https://github.com/KBomba/ccmonitor |

Yep, seems to be an improvement Not much, but noticeable:  Thx a lot! Edit: But yes, 25% (one full core) cpu usage o_O That's intense |

i am mining now with the wallet and my gpu , so , do i get a peace of every block or do i have to wait till i found a block myself???
Wait till you find one yourself |

Hi SP. I have a little problem, i have 2GTX 970s (ASUS) in SLI. Mining works fine, but whenever i close the miner my computer hangs ( i have to hard reboot it)
any ideas?
normally ive seen this happen when they are in sli ... when the cards are not in sli - they usually work better at mining and they dont lock up ... this is not the rule - just the many miners i have witnessed ... try removing sli and see ... id be interested in knowing how you fare with it ... #crysx Never mine in SLI. I thought all people knew that already? |

Anyone else have their 750ti cards hashing at different speeds with each restart of the miner? sometimes it mines at 800kh per card, sometimes 200-2400, sometimes 2400 and occasionally 3050-3100kh/s per card. I've just been restarting the miner until it settles on the higher hashrate, but is there a simpler way? on a related note, when it comes up with the lower end hash speed the entire system laaaaags right down to a crawl until I manage to kill the process (win 8.1)
I have reproduced this on one of my rigs. I will try to merge the kernals into the djm34 fork. I think this version is more stable. But after xmax. Now I have some days of. Yeah, let's ditch xtranonce support, the api and the nice colors <.< I don't think it's useful to waste your time on merging your code into his, might be better to try and locate that bug. |

I have been dabbling with PoS for a while now and I have one noobish question to ask: Does the percent a year merely represent the amount you will get every time you stake or does the wallet have the ability to make sure you never stake more than the percent a year advertised. Note, this is a general question and not directed at any one coin in particular.
An example being that say I have a 1,000,000 coins of x currency and the percent a year is 5. Regardless of the stake age, if I leave the wallet alone and stake as normal, difficulty willing, I will only be able to receive approximately 5 percent of what I have, in this case 50,000, by year's end. As in, it's in the wallet code to make sure I will not be able to cross the 5 percent of my total staked savings? Or is the percent a year merely the amount that will be awarded to me for each staked block? Such as, your stake reward will be in the amount of 5 percent a year of the coins the staked block contained and is not the maximum a year that can be earned. So if I am staking a coin that is not being widely staked at the moment or is relatively new I could reasonably surpass the 5 percent a year staking?
Thank you in advance.
The annual PoS interest is always without a compounding effect. So it can be a lot more if you don't remove your PoS rewards from your wallet after staking. And even this is a guesstimate, there are many other variables that can increase/decrease that percentage. For example, Magicoin has a higher % when the net weight is higher. I don't know of any coins that have a built-in hard limit, but there's no need of that with a proper PoS implementation ^^ |

I am suppose to be buying 3 S1 Antminers (180 GH) for 30$ each off someone. I have the PSUs to run them.
But I am wondering if this is just a waste of money. I wanted to mine PayCoins (XPY) but the pools seem to be closed.
I looked for other Altcoins to mine but they all report on various websites that it is low profit. (Does anyone know a profitable coin to mine SHA256?)
Should I buy them? Or should I get some VPS or dedicated servers and CPU Mine a good coin that can make me profit?
I don't know what to do. It seems unless you have a ton of ASIC hashing power. A few antminer s1s (3 in total) wont be able to make much profit. And as the days go by these Asic miners become more obsolete.
I am at a standstill now. The person wants to meet in a few hours and I don't know if I should cancel or buy them.
Any advice would be great.
Thanks
No mining is profitable, unless you live on free electricity. And even then... To ROI in a decent time, you'll need to put 24h a day into it ^^" Mining to me is just nerd-galore at the moment. I love to play with miners, tweak them to the max, program tools for it, etc... But the days of easy money are over, at least for us who can't write their own private miners, and have been for some time now TBH. So to answer your question:  |

to be fair that thread is over 1100 pages long A real cudaminer has read it all! |

i think he mean that the pow ended and he is asking how to mine it again
it's not possible
Back in the days when PoS became a hype, there were many Blackclones (not Blackcoin itself) that forget to disable PoW altogether. It was still there, but with very low rewards. There were miners out there scavenging on these low difficulty breadcrumbs ^^ (Which was profitable sometimes ) But I think that most PoS devs nowadays know what they're dealing with  |

looks like VB/.NET, so if your a sane developer (to question due to your programming language ) it should run with mono on non-retarded systems. It's C#.NET with WinForms as GUI and might work, might not ^^" I'm an autodidact when it comes to programming, so don't expect me to know those tricks I just make tools for myself and give them out for free Sharing is caring! Also, even if it doesn't run on linux and other exotic species, it can still connect with a rig that's on linux through the API. So no real worries there. Epsylon has already included a sample api.php in his source/releases. Maybe that might suit your needs? (no extensive stats though ) |

how to adjust 1 NVidia card on 2 pools? The key "-balance" by analogy with cgminer doesn't help.
Try just running 2 ccminers parallel. They should balance out themselves. |

You can use the network hashrate in place of diff. It's simpler. Network hashrate is determined from the diff. So there needs to be a "simpler equation" ^^" Actually, I've seen it many times that even the API of a coin itself has net hashrate wrong (*cough* bitquark). https://github.com/KBomba/cuda-profit-calc/blob/master/ProfitCalc/Coin.cs#L284If you use target=24 for bitquark in that formula, you'll get the right coins/per day, they use target=32 (like scrypt and x11) in their diff=>hashrate calc. |

did a rapid test with lyra2, the cpu usage is awfully high (I have a noisy cpu cooler...) 50% usage... against 5~7% in my version. what did you do ?  I was thinking, may-be I could use tpruvot interface, but 50% cpu usage is a big red flag for me... so please fix this... (not the case for x11... though, but I don't use x11...) You should merge his interface and api I'm sure that they aren't the ones causing the CPU usage, but I've noticed it too on lyra2. |
