Greetings,
with the recent rise of ETH/ZEC mining profitability I am wondering how high should CURE be valued to make it at least as profitable as those altcoins?
CURE price has been fluctuating wildly recently so its very hard to come to some definitive answer.
Has anybody got some hard numbers for Nvidia folders since AMD is hopeless for folding ATM?

Greetings,
out of curiosity, this miner is open to any pool and does not contain any fees, so it basically works against your core business of selling hashing power/providing pools.
So whats the rationale behind it?

Greetings,
I am having problem running on Linux.
My start.sh looks like this:
#!/bin/bash
./miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 --user t1Q6xqGTwhUhhrtoMMdyWTtyMHhyRqFb3ao.unix --pass x --port 3333 --cuda_devices 0
but when I run it nothing happens.
Please help.

Whelp GTX 1080 Ti with same number of cores as Titan XP is out for $699 USD. I guess all the talk of 1070 vs 1080 price/perf and ROI is all moot now.
I'm sure that the 1070 fanboys will still come up with some reason why 1070 is "better".  user foldy on folding forum shared this handy chart The prices in nvidia store are quite linear: 1080 Ti $700 1100k PPD . 250W 1080 .. $550 . 850k PPD . 180W 1070 .. $400 . 600k PPD . 150W 1060 .. $300 . 350k PPD . 120W So for each $150 more you get 250k PPD more. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v5gXral3BcFOoXs5n1M6l_Uo3pZpQYogn6gVlxRPnz0/edit#gid=01080ti PPD/W king 970 still PPD/$ king |

That needs to be fixed! I have a bunch of people on local forum ready to switch from ZEC/ETH. I just need a reliable calculator to convince them. |

7- Folding is simple at face value, rather easy to get going. Fine tuning though can be turned into a career. Brands, ambient temps, drivers etc etc etc all make a big difference. I think we have a lot more research to do before we can officially crown the 1070 or the 1080 the king of folding. Thanks, looking forward to Linux folding insights. 16.04 is the way to go since graphics-drivers ppa works only on that version and is also the way to go for gpu driver installation. Headless system is PITA on Linux, but at least it works. On Windows one needs a dummy plugs to make it work. Regarding PPDs, Watts and $: 1070 and 1060 3G are definitely folding kings while PPD/$ King is: (surprise, surprise) used/refurbished GTX 970 at 200$. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v5gXral3BcFOoXs5n1M6l_Uo3pZpQYogn6gVlxRPnz0/edit#gid=0Cant wait to buy a couple of used 1070s when they drop to something reasonable like 250$. |

He has pascal cards though not AMD. Merged folding is DEFINITELY more profitable than ZEC or ETH mining on nVidia cards. 600k PPD ~= 22 CURE and 1750 FLDC = 0.0033BTC / day / card 450Sol/s ~= 0.002 BTC / day / card ...and that's being generous on Sol rate and conservative on PPD. I have AMD cards and I'm folding. It's not quite as profitable as ZEC but it's in the same ballpark. I get roughly 750k PPD vs. 1050Sol/s I would get mining ZEC. So about 0.0041 BTC/day for merge folding vs. 0.0046 BTC/day for ZEC mining. ZEC used to be significantly more profitable but only during the first month or so. It's close enough...and if/when CURE 2.0 and SigmaX eventually get released I expect a rise. The low volume could be a problem for a large scale operation but for the average guy at home like myself with only a rig or two it's totally worth it (so that's a good thing for us). If/when the volume ever picks up it would be good for larger operations too and therefore the project as a whole (as that's the end goal and the whole idea of this coin). Go, CURE!  Thanks for clarification, I just switched back to folding. Go, ME! |

I swapped all of my 1070s back to Folding (for the first time ever I think) yesterday - then my bloody net went out for about 5 hours early this morning.
Which means I lost less than if I had NOT swapped them, but hurt on the fast return bonus for quite a few blocks.
Oh well, hopefully tomorrow I'll start seeing my REAL numbers!
Out of altruism or profitability? I can't AFFORD altruism. Same here, sadly. But ZEC is still more profitable than merged folding ATM, so hence my confusion. I guess you have more faith in CURE in the long run? |

And with the current price surge, stand by for another large increase in team PPD.
8-O
I'm adding ~1.6 million PPD on Thursday  I swapped all of my 1070s back to Folding (for the first time ever I think) yesterday - then my bloody net went out for about 5 hours early this morning. Which means I lost less than if I had NOT swapped them, but hurt on the fast return bonus for quite a few blocks. Oh well, hopefully tomorrow I'll start seeing my REAL numbers! Out of altruism or profitability? I see that recent surge in CURE price was short-lived, so just wondering. |

Damn! Went from total ~450 Sols/s on previous version to ~650 Sols/s on 2x Asus STRIX-GTX980Ti. Stock memory settings.
Edit: ... and running two threads provides a 6% boost (~40 sols/s). I can't get my GPU memory clock to OC in the Asus GPU tweak - any suggestions? I change the value, hit accept, and it changes back to the default value.
Thats because Maxwell cards have issues with Windows 10 and P2 state regarding memory overclocking. You can force P0 state by running nvidiasetp0state.exe that resides in root folder of official Nicehash mining tool. Then you will be able to OC memory. Or you can use Nvidia Inspector and OC memory there my selecting P2 state in drop-down menu of its overclocking panel. |

Greetings,
any Linux guru here to give me a hint how to force P3 state in Linux?
My core is at max speed but memory is 400Mhz lower on P2 state.
Thanks!

We did not have an issue. You have overclocked cards? Try different driver? What happens if using multiple eqm instances?
with multiple eqm instances(or wit 2 threads) speed is slower. With overclock, or without. 1 thread : $ ./eqm -cd 0 -b

Never got this one before, please check.
chmod? chmod fixed it thanks. but still now performance improvement over "v1.0.2b" 1060 3g 145 sol/s. 153sols/s on "f" version, up from 140 sols/s on "b" version, so definitely 10 percent improvement, I guess djeZo deserves a medal! Ubuntu with 1060 3G and -cm 0 parameter Wattage is around 105W, 99 gpu usage. I lowered tdp on 970 card to 50% and raised clock offset by 120 (1400 effective boost), getting 142 sols/s and 125W consumption. Is memory overclocking worth it? How much should I raise it on 970? Also, Nvidia Inspector shows P2 state. Is that bad? And if so, how to force P0 state? Thanks to all the helpful people here and djeZo especially, may he live long and prosper. And release 1.0.3 that will finally make those CUDA clusters SWEAT! |

Impressive improvement. 970 up from 130 to 150 sols/s on "d" version.
Please update the first post with new download links, though.

Yes, there is no doubt, something is wrong. Try my coomand : ./eqm_ubuntu_16 -l eu -t 0 -u 16HGUJUGh7TF9QiGm759h4phwAJXMjaDZT -w 1070b -cd 0 Does it works ? And how many Sol/s ? You probably should have arround 125 sol/s... Solved. Thanks. I installed eqm from github, that was the problem. Downloaded zip from the first page, no need to compile. 140 sols/s on 1060 3G. Nice work by djeZo, shows that CUDA still has potential. |
