I'm sorry, but this is the worst wallet I ever dealt with. It's so unbelievably slow to start and to sync and now that it's synced, it sometimes randomly start to use all CPU cores for hours even though it's completely synced and it's not mining. The wallet itself barely responds to any clicks, RPC commands time out frequently and it does this even with maxconnections=1 so it's not a syncing/peer issue.
what do you expect - Ultracoin must have the worst Dev who only does anything when he can be bothered and seems to not be as knowledgeable as other altcoin devs. Cant wait for this to rise so we can all cash out! I like this coin and been following it on and off since January 2014 and I get that such a huge database of blocks is pretty demanding but other coins have managed to build a decent wallet with decent resource managenet and database caching but this one is making me want to pull my own hair. It wont rise with comments like this...
What do you mean? |

I have some problem with my 2x980 rig i started up a few days ago.
I run Win 8.1 on it like the rest of my rigs and it is a clean install.
The rig is shutting itself down like 1-2 times per day. And when i fire it back up Windows tell me that the computer ran into some problems.
This occurs with or without oc on the cards, not sure wth is going on. It happends when mining with both sp mod and the nicehash miner.
I have a 1200w Silverstone strider psu in that rig so it is not a power problem.
I have 4Gb ram in this rig just like the rest of my rigs, but could it be that i need more ram with 980 cards ?
This is the first time i mine with 980s so i am kind of out of ideas here.
Put RAM anyway to test, but... I have 1 rig with similar problem. Did you try "Benchmark" in nicehash miner? Did it run all coins or terminated some? My rig has problems with some coins and if that is your case it might point to what the problem is I will test to add more ram later today and see if it help. I always benchmark all algos in the nicehash miner and i dont get any errors while doing that. I have rig with 6 960 (4GB) that won't start with less than 8GB RAM, and another with 6 960 ( 2GB) that work with 4GB RAM. And rig with 3 980s that work perfectly with 4 GB RAM. And this 970x2 + 960 with problem with some algos ( neoscrypt, lyra2v2 and so-so with x13 (?) ) I suspect 2 unpowered risers might be a problem... Double check all connections! I think adding more swapfile would be enough. I have 4GB RAM in my rigs but with 16GB swapfile which lets me run 4x970 + 2x750 Ti. The swapfile is never used (as it wouldn't use 8GB memory either) but it needs it momentarily. |

I'm preaching to the choir once again but there are no magical 38 watt 750 cards exist, period. Even the non-Ti 750 cards can pull up to 60 watts with the stock BIOS regardless of having a 6 pin or not. That of course doesn't mean they will use 60 watt with every algo but they will use close to that much with more power hungry algos (eg. groestl).
Look into their BIOS' or any reliable reviews/stress tests or better yet, look at the wall with a watt meter.
There are no huge efficiency gaps (hash per watt) within Maxwell cards.

Do a lot of alts have a trust problem? yes or no? and why?
i think yes. they have a trust problem. why should i trust someone that is hiding behind a pseudonym? i think a trustworthy dev can tell us his/her name.why should they not tell the public who they are if they do not want to scam someone.
what do you think?
why is satoshi anon again? IMHO a REAL cryptocurrency does not need a dev which name/address is public. crypto should work without any centralization and focusing on a dev just adds centralization. get a team of independant devs which believe in the project is way better: they can check each other ;-) in the beginning it may help to get starting capital and investors... but a currency should not be for shortterm! This x 1000. In fact, I'd go as far as saying that it's better if the devs are anon because the minute you introduce any personality behind a dev/coin then it will divide people (and it could be dangerous to the devs). I feel like every coin should be started by a handful of devs but the control should be eventually passed onto everyone else but the devs. I mean what is true decentralization if not that? I think to date only Dash has had any sort of long-term success
Lol, nevermind me or common sense then. |

Hi everyone!
I have GeForce GTX 960 Strix 2GB. I want it to mine litecoin.
Is it sufficient just to install cudaminer?
TLDR; Litecoin is using the Scrypt algorithm which is not profitable at all by GPUs (eg. waste of money) for a long time now, look into other altcoin algorithms (x11, qubit, neoscrypt, etc). |

would luv to another update with a nice kick upwards in hashrate for some of the algos - hint hint sp ...  ... #crysx Right now it's much more profitable to work on private kernals #crysx. The memory algos are heavily dependent on the right clock settings / boost / voltage etc. I have modded the lyra2v2 to run faster on one card, but slower other other cards. I think I need to review the opensource kernal and pick the fastest routine for all cards. Maybe make seperate kernals for each of the maxwell gpu models because they are different. o ok ... but you are not selling the private kernels are you sp? ... i guess a more unified approach would be better ... separate the kernels and add them into the miner on a modular basis ... tanx ... #crysx Difficult to sell kernals that run fast on one hardware and slow on another. Then you need the same operating system and the same cards that I use. The Pallas Neoscrypt kernal is 10% faster on some cards, but when you see the test performed by the cryptomining blog, his work doesn't have any effect. probably it's just a matter of tuning the launch parameters for the cards, as the code size is changed and I only have 970s to test with. One thing I like about sgminer is that it allows for a lot of fine tuning so in the end the users will come up with the fastest settings and the devs don't have to. |

i wont be doing that sp ... the job would be more effort and cost to do - than to find a way to oc in linux ... none of these cards have been put through any form of oc - and they have been running rock solid so far ... but admittedly - you are correct in pointing out that 22% increase in hashrate is a lot ... but it is the pain of windows that brings me to almost tears ... a single machine was bad enough ( which i have tested ) - a few machines was worse ( which i have tested also ) - thefarm under windows in its entirety would be a bloody nightmare ... not only for because its a graphical environment and not easily accessed or controlled unless you have a graphical environment access - but also because of the inhibiting cost of the os in the first place ... what ever i make in coins and convert to btc and convert to aud - will not cover the cost of the software alone ... so again - the nvidia drivers are advancing in the linux arena ( dont forget - its nvidia thats holding this back - not linux distros ) and when they reach the stage where it will be easy to implement these commands within the miner parameters - i may oc the cards at that stage ... until then - ill suffer a 22% hit with thefarm ... i know you are providing sound advice - but no else has to do the maintenance on thefarm but me ... and im not willing to go to that extreme ... and believe me - as simple as most people say windows is to maintain and so on - they do NOT have thefarm to contend with when it comes service / maintenance / updates / upgrades ... with linux - its about 1 / 5 th the time with windows - and at least 7 times more powerful with bash / sh ... all from the arm chair or cafe or android fone - while drinking a coffee ... i used to be that other person - the windows support guy ... no tanx ... in any case - would you have any new updates coming about - or major increase in private miners that you want to sell? ... especially if they are x11 - quark - neoscrypt - lyra2v2 ... ... tanx sp ... #crysx I feel your stance on windows is a bit of an overexaggeration. You can use windows for free even without pirating (though it's a gray area) and you can also use SSH if you set it up. Or you could just use psexec (included in windows) to broadcast commands or batch files to all the rigs like I do without needing to use TeamViewer. You just configure and tweak a windows install to your liking, disable unnecessary services and secheduled tasks and clone it to all the rigs. Psexec can send your local copy of a file which you want to run remotely so different ccminer versions are easy to distribute. Updating drivers or the OS really never offered any speed gain so that's unnecessary (but can be done). Of course I don't have as many rigs as you but I'd argue that windows (7) has just as good scalability as linux if done well and it's just as solid. But of course it's your farm, I just personally would never let the speed gain of overclocking going to waste. i wont argue the point bathrobehero ... and im not trying to be rude ... but being a windows 'professional' and working in the industry supporting that monstrosity of an os - i know first hand ( as most do here - like you ) how much work is involved in doing the simplest things in windows - that linux does in its core ... stability? ... not a chance ... its proven over and over again - and in such an environment as a farm - or datacenter ... the use of it is really for compatibility more than stability ... but linux servers have fast caught up - and some are still running after setting them up years ago ... no windows can do that - none ... i agree with oyu that the flexibility IS there - but look at what you have to do just to ssh into anything ... linux is a two step process ... log in - ssh ... thats it ... its all native ... i used to laugh me backside off when peopel would say to me 'windows just works right out the box' .... but little did they realize that ALL the apps on top and the utilities and the components to make it run were required also ... a further 1hour or more setup ontop of the windows install ... hence the 'template' installs that compaq ( God blessem ) started pushing in their pre-installed partitions ... linux is a 10 minute install with a 5 minute setup - and its done ... o - did i mention stability  ... i agree with you as far as the speed gain is concerned - but you would probably change your tune if you had to take an entire weekend out to change the installations to windows - pay for the licenses ( there is no free with miscrosoft - even windows 10 as a lot have been fooled into ) - then maintain the systems - in thefarm ... its too much work out of my life to constantly be at it ... but then again - im not you and you are not me ... so you may be willing - im certainly not ... it really is too much mate ... especially when i can get thefarm running and mining in a matter of approx 2.5hors from scratch with linux ... and an entire day from scratch with windows - THEN install the and tweak ... btw - all the rigs are not the same ... not yet anyway ... a single compile will not 'just run' on all machines with different hardware ... not as a dynamic compile anyway ... static - possibly ... when thefarm is cloned - THEN it will be even easier to rollout the miner when one is compiled ... im actually building a server for an idea i have that will make mining even easier than what it is now ... but that will be the new year before i can actually do anything about perfecting it - and yes - its all linux ... i do like the cloning of windows idea you have though - as we used to do soe rollouts when i was a younger lad in the american express upgrade days ... now THAT was work ... ill stick to linux and the draw backs for now - especially when thefarm gets too big for a windows top-heavy too-costly massive-processing environment to even try and cope with ... #crysx I understand and I wasn't trying to convince you as much as trying to say that windows really is not that bad for mining but I guess it all comes down to preference and since I grew up with windows, to me linux is the one that's always tiring to deal with. Anyway, you have way more experience than me so I probably shouldn't have said anything or at least worded it differently. |

SOLO-MINE SECRETCOIN (SCRT) -- SecretCoin has seen a consistently high trading volume for more than a week, several BitCoins a day. I have found it easy to solo-mine this X11 algo coin. First, download the wallet from " https://secretcoin.club". Using the example wallet configuration file below, allow the wallet to synchronise. Be sure to capitalise the "S" and "C" letters when titling the file: SecretCoin.conf ========== server=1 daemon=1 listen=1 maxconnections=1024 rpcuser=yourname rpcpassword=pass rpcport=23151 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcallowip=192.168.1.111 rpcallowip=192.168.1.112 addnode=23.227.190.110 addnode=104.255.33.191 addnode=185.81.164.238 ========== The addnodes are vital for synchronisation, and the rcpallowip addresses should reflect the local LAN net addresses of your miners. My launch line for sp_'s ccminer reads like this: "ccminer -a x11 -C --cpu-priority 5 -o http://127.0.0.1:23151" -u yourname -p pass" It just works! The network hashrate and mining difficulty figures are on the rise, it is harder to mine a 31.25 SCRT block than when I started. Also, besides miniing Proof-of-Work (POW) blocks, your wallet will be receiving Proof-of-Stake (POS) blocks for any coins that are being held. POS blocks are generally smaller, a fraction of a coin each, unless the miner holds 100,000 SCRT or more. I purchased 0.05 BTC worth of SCRT when I started so that I would have a stake. It is now worth more than 2x what I paid, and trending up. Earlier miners saw the value rise from about 50 satoshi per coin! Good Luck! --scryptr Secretcoin was decently profitable (for an x11 coin) but it's not anymore. But for speculative miners it might be since the price is climbing and the volume is consistent. More nodes if needed: addnode=144.64.55.132 addnode=23.227.190.110 addnode=104.172.24.79 addnode=185.81.164.238 addnode=104.255.33.191 addnode=37.59.18.108 addnode=104.131.230.130 addnode=98.108.241.97 addnode=74.120.220.54 addnode=85.25.198.151 addnode=188.230.216.149 addnode=78.56.89.204 addnode=73.30.72.115 addnode=111.235.149.170 On the line of the X algos, currently Ambercoin (x13) is slightly more profitable but with low volume. Edit: seems like currently Amber is not as profitable as Secret |

One exchange allowed trading even if their altcoin wallet was offline for at least a week, without disclosing it and they didn't even see the problem with that. Now they're dead.

Lyra2v2 scales very badly with bigger cards so I wouldn't use that as a reference to judge cards. In fact, a 970 is ~2.3 times faster than a 750 Ti which is one of the lowest ratio I ever seen. 980's give the best performance per watt, even better than two 980 ti's, price factor kept on a side.
That might be true but a 980 (at least where I live) is 55% more expensive than a 970 while only have 23% more cores. |

Is it still not possible to solomine with GPUs straight to the wallet?
For that to be possible you need to setup a private pool. Solomining in the wallet is only possible with the CPU and that's not profitable. Setting up a private pool in order to solomine would be like climbing the Mt. Everest for snow. The wallet is capable of accepting local work from the CPU, so is the daemon from pools but accepting work from GPU miners via RPC is still not there. Thanks for the answer though. |

the other two are dead is seems, burst is the only one, it was profitable at launch now not anymore, they should do a coin like this based on the speed of the hd disk instead of the capacity
we could reduce the consumption even farther and less space and ram for the computer, i'm waiting for it to be released
Burst was decent but storage mining is way too centralized considering how some businesses have massive amounts of storage at their disposal. And the problem with decentralized storage like Storj is that it requires decent upload bandwith which is an issue for most people. yeah that's why we need speed based coins with storage, which would then move the problem on who have the more money like bitcoin, but it would be better than having a centralized coin the other two are dead is seems, burst is the only one, it was profitable at launch now not anymore, they should do a coin like this based on the speed of the hd disk instead of the capacity
we could reduce the consumption even farther and less space and ram for the computer, i'm waiting for it to be released
Exactly. I was thinking of such a coin, perhaps an improvement on Burst's mining algorithm (like Burst 2.0)? Anyways, I was looking into Storj and based on their earnings calculator, it looks very profitable. Even still, Sia looks interesting as well.  You can check it out here: https://sia.tech/ramdisk would be very relevant also, so it would extended the usage outside the ssd enviroment Reading speed and storage go hand in hand depending on how much data we're talking about. And if the data is so little that it can fit into a ramdisk while most people have 4-8 GB of RAM then servers with hundreds of gigs are way ahead again and we'll end up using GPU memory for it pretty fast. |

Yet another sensationalistic but useless thread about promoting DASH or XMR and bashing the other. It's like supporters of either of these two coins can only promote their shit by bashing the other.

I don't know about this coin, but the MonetaryUnit wallet does the same; occasionally it chokes the CPU for long periods of time even though the wallet is fully synced. Stopped using it because of it.
