If you want to mine lyra2 checkout cpuminer-multi. I get higher hash rates on my i7-4790 than a 750ti.
what hashrate do you get? ... #crysx Default 7 threads @ 115 Kh/s each on i7-4790k @ 4.3 GHz. Best performing cpuminer/algo combination I've found and the only one that beats a 750ti, or even comes close. minerd/x11 is a very distant second at 8 x 85 Kh/s (minerd defaults to 8 threads). I think lyra2 is a very challenging algo for GPUs. Edit: I should qualify this by saying it's the best free cpuminer/algo combination. I have no knowledge of any private cpu miners. thats pretty good for cpu ... so i must agree that it does perform quite well ... but that cpu ( from memory - too lazy to check ) also chews almost 90W of power ... the gigabyte 750ti oc lp max is about 40-60W and does a little over 660KH on lyra2 with spmod ... cost wise - at around 3 x the price of one of those cards ( basing it on australian dollars - but should be approx worldwide ratios ) - the hashrate doesnt play well ... but then again - thats if you are ONLY mining ( like we are ) ... still - quite impressive for a cpu hashrate ... can you still use your computer when all 4 cores are at full pace? ... or does it slow down to being almost unusable? ... btw - where is the link for the software? ... github link? ... miner settings that you use also please? ... tanx ... #crysx You're right about the power but if you really really want to mine lyra2 I think CPU is the way to go. If you're GPU mining, lyra2 can't compete with any of the other algos. You can also CPU mine lyra2 alongside GPU mining a more profitable algo. CPU mining with n threads can affect ccminer so I usually use n-1, which just happens to be the default. Other CPU intensive applications like compiling are obviously not advised but casual desktop use is still reasonably responsive. I occasionally fire it up if lyra2 is paying unusually well but not lately with the way quark is performing. What's with the order prices on nicehash? What could they be mining at those prices? I've seen that kind of activity on nicehash prior to a coin launch but it usually only lasts a coule of days but I haven't seen any new quark coins in a long time. And this has been going on for over a month but accelerated in the last couple of days. Even yaamp rentals are paying higher than any of the coins in their pool. Edit: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=841401.0The whole reason I asked about Lyra is because I'm using Miner Control to help keep my connection to yaamp. It works great, took me some time to get it to run, but does, according to price, switch to that algo. |

I always replace a surge protector after it's been hit...even if it doesn't have the unforgiving order of burnt wiring. Cheaper than replacing the equipment. Thing is, I buy the good ones and go thru ~5 per year. It gets expensive. Keep all the ideas coming for moving these out to the garage. Also, remember it's FL and my garage ain't ACed. Suggestions to keep these somewhat cool? No windows, all cinderblock, not knocking a hole in the wall. lol ( I just know someone was gonna suggest that). Don't know about that problem either. So...got a network to figure out and cooling.
BTW: Thanks group...

OK...I know this is off subject but it will matter to the pool later- How long can you run CAT cable before you have to put a signal booster in the line?
Under 300feet is best. Thank You...won't be a problem then. Damn...might have been wrong question. Here..let me tell ya what is happening: Need to move farm to the garage. Picked up an s4 to add to the pool. I have cable TV out there already to feed the router but must locate equipment across the room. (that's where the power is) so.....I either have to extend the cable TV and place router over where equipment will be or use alot of network cable. Ideas pool?? Real problem is gonna be; How do I keep this stuff cool. Moving the S3+ & S4. The little r-Box110s need a computer, so those stay in my front room /w computer. I'm in FL and the garage does heat up...I don't have the answer for that yet. Again...ideas? Told ya it was pool related...lol For a cheaper and more reliable solution than some of the others mentioned, buy a cheap switch and just run one cable to the cheap switch then shorter cables from that switch to your miners. I'm afraid I don't understand. You got some splainin' to do Lucy! |

Thank goodness for power/surge protection...just got zapped. Had to restart everything. That happens a lot here in FL.  LIGHTNING  |

Try a powerline product.
I've been using that for years to get to my garage that is two floors down below me in the building basement and no wifi or cable access except that the power in the garage is on my circuit breaker here upstairs so they are connected.
(I upgraded it once in all that time to a new faster one)
My home internet also uses that due to where the adsl telephone line is.
Whats that do...use your home wiring? Google powerline. It runs ethernet over your internal power wiring. Works great for me  Great...I'll look it up...thanks |

I give up...all I know is that it works. Here's a great question; since all these new mods have been introduced, is anybody gonna take the time to update a readme file so we know wtf is going on /w the new switches?
edit; if the readme had some suggested parameters would really rock.
Tell ya what...if I get help from this forum, I'll do it. If everyone would test 1 or prefer 2 algo's and just send 'em to me /w what card or cards they tested. And if the devs will send me what the new switches are, what they do, etc., I'll take the current readme and compile a new readme /w a git posting. I could even add it to the .zip, I think. I know zip will allow adding a file so...what do ya say...anybody in for this? Like a concise version.
Good idea but I'm not sure the ccminer readme file is the best place for card specific data. The data will have to be maintained as new cards are introduced. If ccminer development slows the data wil become obsolete pretty fast. There is already some very obsolete information in the readme and help referring to coins that are long dead. What you're suggesting sounds like a small database considering the number of algos times the number of different cards. Even within one model and board manufacturer there are several variations of memory and clock speeds. Keeping it out of ccminer allows it to be updated independently of ccminer development. I suggest starting out by compiling the current data and posting here. If you or someone else feels ambitious they could put it in a database and put it up on a web site. Well, as long as the forum helps out it really wouldn't be all that hard to put it in a spreadsheet type of thing. But that's going very deep. I was more or less looking at updating the readme that's with currently. It doesn't have to be exact. And be put in a concise form, similar to what is there. Get rid of the old crap, add the new mods, switches, etc. and a short form of, not recommended or highest, but starting places for people. EX. What just happenned to me...give me a rough idea of where to set a card for Lyra2RE......edit; we could easlier lowball the numbers. Even newbies know this is just a starting place, not all emcompassing. (fat fingers..lol) |

Wheeew! Just tried Lyra and my vid driver got blown outa da water!! Anyone got some rough seting for Lyra2RE?

any tips on the volt moding? is there a good gui to do it or a file to change? or is it old school and time to break out the old no.2 ?
P.S. have adj the file to 325 and it boots
ran 1 hour got stats of
27 hw 1397accpt/5148discard avg. Gh/s 425.40 temps 41/44
The info you search is within this thread. Sorry tho...I don't remember what page. Do a quick scan starting about 10 back. Don't know for sure tho. Look at your GUI. |

Help...anybody know what kind of serial communication the s3+ uses. Has anyone tried to use a rPi as the controller?
|
|
|
|
has anyone tried higher freq's like these in an S3?
#option 'freq_value' '0f82' #400M
#option 'chip_freq' '400'
#option 'timeout' '10'
#option 'freq_value' '0e82' #375M
#option 'chip_freq' '375'
#option 'timeout' '10'
#option 'freq_value' '0d82' #350M
#option 'chip_freq' '350'
#option 'timeout' '11'
#option 'freq_value' '0c82' #325M
#option 'chip_freq' '325'
#option 'timeout' '12'
#option 'freq_value' '0b82' #300M
#option 'chip_freq' '300'
#option 'timeout' '13'
#option 'freq_value' '0a82' #275M
#option 'chip_freq' '275'
#option 'timeout' '14'
#option 'freq_value' '0982' #250M
#option 'chip_freq' '250'
#option 'timeout' '15'
just playing with oc'n my use s3.
On an s3 you'll be lucky to get it at the 243, you might go 225. You'll find a bunch of x's or -'s for your asic chips. I have a s3+ that doesn't like it past the 250. Also remember to adjust your voltage. If you play too much...the saying goes ya pay to play. Good Luck and Happy Mining!! |

Hey, can anyone tell me if the s3+ control board is 5v TTL, 3v3 TTL, or RS232 at the debug pins? I've been told that an rPi can be used as a control board but I don't know if that info is correct. I know the rPi is a 3v3 TTL but it can be converted. I just need to know what type of serial communication the s3 uses.
Thanks for any input

in general, overclocking should bring better power efficiency, unless its effect is counterbalanced by automatic or manual overvolting, or by additional power draw from the cooling system (fans).
So with all this going on with these 750Ti cards, I take it that ovr clocking is the best thing to do? BTW, I just wanted to check so I pulled the cover, my card ASUS GTX750Ti 2g is the one /w the 6pin. I'm gonna guess that's makes up for a power drop from the dual fans? (I have seen what look like short card 750Ti's on fleaBay /w one fan). I don't have an accurate meter to do any testing on it. This card also seems to be hardcoded for automatic, BIOS voltage control. It fluctuates /w 1143mV being top range. I've tried AfterBurner and ThunderMaster but you still can't do anything about voltage control. I just ignore that setting (it don't change a thing) /w GPUTweak. I still get close to 6.5 /w quark and ~3.44 /w x11. I haven't tried any other, not sure if it will mine another coin. Oppsss...got off topic..backup. OCing is best? There's the question. Thank you ps. This card was pretty cheap too...$89 on...I think it was newegg, but that was a while back. |

@crysx This seems to be probleem with quark on yaamp. I am the only one mining to this address but it shows 105 miners. Also total quark miners rose to 32K & hashrate dropped to 100 Mh/s, when miner started throwing bad shares with "Invalid job ID" and finally miner was not able to connect with the pool.  Yeah...I had about 30 miners. It was kicking me and reconnecting showing it as a new miner. I just quit it altogether. I think yaamp may be ready to crash again. Seems they can't keep it going over there. |

What miner are you using for the XMR? And hashrate?
Thanks
YAM M8A scroll through the developer's Twitter to find the download link: https://twitter.com/yvg1900i7 4770 (not OC-able) gets ~280 H/s with 4 threads. I am getting 55-60 h/s per core while using minergate miner for mining BCN,XDN,XMR. I have a i5 4670 @ 3.4Ghz. Power consumption per core seems to rise by 9 watts, that is 6-6.5 hashes/watt. Thank You also, thought I may try mining XMR. |

YAM M8A scroll through the developer's Twitter to find the download link: https://twitter.com/yvg1900i7 4770 (not OC-able) gets ~280 H/s with 4 threads. Thanks! They call it 'TurboMode' for the OC. I think it depends on the MOB tho. Doesn't matter, I'm not messing with the speed. edit; I see the youngsters are at it again. |

I swear it helped my rig be more stable, as I am using 2 relatively weak PSU's to run a rig with a non-PCIe connector 750Ti and a GTX 970, plus mining XMR with the i7 CPU. What miner are you using for the XMR? And hashrate? Thanks edit; To the conversation about Windows vs. Linux, I've never been a linux person but wish I had at least learned more about it. I've been using Windows a looong time and do like it but the biggest drawback for me....the dreaded UPDATE /w restart. |
