Other than that I'm in a cheery mood after a tough couple of days, you can find out why by
visiting my thread. There I got my plug in.

Cheer up everyone. Smiley

A modern I7 CPU is doing around 0.7MHASH in the quark algo isn't it? My buyabable private kernal is up 1 MHASH on the 980ti. Just a few percent increase, but more than a modern I7. Cpu mining is a waste. Why don't you optimize my cuda code instead?

722 now on a 4790K @ 4 GHz, but you're right. tyhere is no way it's profitable. But like i said before
I'm not in it for the money. That works both ways. It's a hobby that has revenue that offsets the cost.
Developement on cpuminer is interesting and I'm learning a lot of skills that will be applibale to ccminer
development so when I get there i'll have a less steep learning curve, hopefully not as steepas the one
I'm on now. It seems the skills I do have sometoimes geting in the way of relearning the c++ way.

Don't worry I'm chasing you down, maybe sooner than you think.  Grin

cpuminer v3.0.1 available for download. Fixed lyra2, now supported. No other
changes.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lVSGQYLJIZX2M1YTBhM3FyekE/view?usp=sharing

Too late  Tongue now that I have it all setup there's nothing to it.
Cool will DL 3.0.1 now and run some new test.
 Thanks for the heads up.

Edit: did you miss adding the .1 to the new download?
The download says 3.0 so I was unsure if I was downloading the 3.0.1v or the 3.0.0v.

I rushed it out. No point in fixing now. I believe 3.0.1 is in the file name of the tarball.

Maybe a mix up in the links to the new  one? Both I downloaded says 3.0 in the file name & when compiled and ran both show v3.0?

Bang on. Thanks. fixed it now but he starup message might still display 3.0.
Updated OP

I'll get v3.0.2 out early to clear up the mess but not rushed like this one. Maybe some lyra opts
and one or two new algos supported, already present.

Hi,

just about curiosity ... we wanna buy some new blade servers in out company and stepped over the nVIdia Tesla M60 ... does anyone know how much this card can hash?
due the high price i don't think there are any hash-specs out here?!

my co-workes and i just want to know what could have been hashed with this badass GPU Cheesy

http://wccftech.com/nvidia-tesla-m60-tesla-m6-accelerators-power-grid-20-m60-featuring-dualgm204-gpus/

Thank you

If the GPUs are not fully utilized you canmine during the down time and find out. Of course any mining revenue would go
to the owners, not the employee.

Lyra2 & lyra2v2 AES optimizations coming in next release, will post numbers ahead of time.
2906  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded NVIDIA Maxwell kernels. on: January 20, 2016, 02:31:21 AM

As much as I respect SP as a coder,

I forgot to mention that. I'm impressed with his work to fine tune the defaults for each card.
That is a big convenience to users.

EVGA GXT750Ti in the house.  Grin

Speed look about normal for sp_74?

It's in the ball park but I don't have a 960 to compare.

Thanks for your efforts.
But testzcrypto version is not the fastest publicly available Argon2 miner.

Do you mean OPES? Found it, will follow up. Looks like a fork of testzcrypto.

This one:

https://github.com/Encel-US/cpuminer-multi

It includes teztcrypto optisation plus some scrypt-Jane.

Some quick numbers I got from this on a Intel 980X CPU.
Command line used: 10 cores
cpuminer-sse2.exe -a lyra2re -o stratum+tcp://lyra2re.jp.nicehash.com:3342 -u 18tvS3deKZK5q4eTtPRWYeEMWmGmuErHgz.980x -p  x -t 10

Edit: Going by this I didn't see scrypt-Jane as a option?

Maybe it was ccminer or a special version of cpu-miner-multi. I'll look for the source, I think everything
is open over there.

Thanks for the heads up on lyra2, I thought it was dead. Will update the chart with the current numbers (mine that is)

Edit: what did you use for lyra2? It seems to be broken on cpuminer-opt.

Edit: it works in cpuminer-multi 1.2pre so I must have broken it. Something else to do.
I used the software from the link in this post above.
Looking great there. I'm about to try to compile v3.0 for testing. Will post once I have some results.

stop. 3.0.1 on the way, fixed lyra2. check for update in OP.
2910  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] New Improved altcoin CPU miner with support for AES-NI on: January 20, 2016, 12:32:25 AM

However while testing I found lyra2v2 to be working well, 4/4 so far.
I'll update the performance charts.

Edit: 47/47 accepts @ 469kh/s. It's officially supported in v3.0 and the most important missing algo, imo.

There has been a lot of discussion lately about SP's frequent begging for donations and going
private with further optimizations.

While I don't agree with this he can do what he wants. I have not been one of his donaters for
the simple raeson I don't have any employment income or pension. I'm living off investment
income at about one third of my previous salary. Had I been a donater I'd be upset with SP at
this point so I understand some of the anger.

I hope he gets the community spirit back.

At least try to be more subtle about it and trim the
excess quoted text.

There is one person who has tempted me to hit the ignore button more than once. I wish he'd
take a step back and stop spouting his one opinion so often. At least try to be more subtle
about it and trim the excess quoted text.

PS. Yesterday was apparently blue Monday, only in the northern hemisphere I assume.
It is supposedly the gloomiest day in the dead of winter. I'm sure statisticians cringe at the
notion.

2913  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] New Improved altcoin CPU miner with support for AES-NI on: January 19, 2016, 11:12:38 PM

If anyone wants this speak up. I'm only doing this once as I have no intentions of forking, but I will
continue to try to integrate argon2 into cpuminer multi.

I'd be interested, please PM me a link. Thanks

Slight change in direction see pallas's post above.

I'm mining scrypt-jane on all my CPU's so it would be very interesting to see the boost
and maybe have a windows version since all my rigs are on W7 at this time, 1 with W10.

What are you using to mine sj? I'm a scrounge, can't help it.
2914  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] New Improved altcoin CPU miner with support for AES-NI on: January 19, 2016, 11:02:39 PM
cpuminer-opt v3.0 just released. Download it here:

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0lVSGQYLJIZX2M1YTBhM3FyekE/view?usp=sharing

See OP for details and performance charts.

X11 is another option, but it has to improve a lot before it will be comparable to either of them. ROI currently for this kernel is negative.

My latest private does 3.1MHASH@50watt. (750ti)
Nicehash x11 miner does 11MHASH@(250watt!!) (r9 280x)

15,5/11= 40% bether.

My NVIDIA kernal is mining x11 40% more efficient than the fastest x11 kernal on AMD cards..


My 3card r9 280x rig pulled over 800watt in the wall when I tested the latest Nicehash miner. Quark/qubit was pulling around 700 with only 3 cards. (Watt messured including cpu/motherboard and harddrive)


Third attempt at this, What's up?

The Nano shows that AMD has potential in dealing with power issues. Sure they dialed down the clock
but it still performs well. And you won't convince a european that bigger is better.

Where are my commnets? Oh well

The Nano show potential for AMD in dealing with their power issues. Sure the dialed down the
clock but it still performs well.  An you won't convince a european that bigger is better.

But it shows potential and AMD is addressing power issues. If I was to buy AMD that would be the card.
Nicehash X11 does 20MHASH @ 100 watt with the right card.

so 7 x 750ti = also 20Mhash but 350 watt.

 Cool

But than again, price of a 750ti is what? 150 Bucks? no idea.

The "right card" = 450bucks.

Ah, it's still more profitable :p

x11 for Nvidia hasn't been improved in quite some time, where as I believe Wolf is working on x11 a lot for AMD.

Is this "right card" an R9 Nano?  I'd like to know where to get one for $450.  Or, at least the model of this card so that I could shop for it.       --acryptr

The Netherlands  Wink

Anyhow, i wouldn't buy one.
It's small, quiet, ugly (it's a dwarf), stays rather cold all the time, memory speed only 500Mhz.. bah..  Conclusion. Not worth it  Cool

Fourth try. Sheesh.

The Nano shows that AMD has the potential to address power issues. Sure they dialed down the clock but it still
performs well. And you'd have a hard time convincing a Eropean thaty bigger is better.

Thanks for the tip and for following.

Considering some of the other algos I'm improving are so mature it was refreshing to
be on the leading edge, even if only briefly.

I noticed it includes scrypt-jane (as does testzcrypto). I don't know if it's suitable as a
standalone algo but I might get around to trying.

3.0 coming within a couple of hours, just tidying up the rel ann.
2919  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] New Improved altcoin CPU miner with support for AES-NI on: January 19, 2016, 06:57:18 PM
I've stopped going around in circles, a few issues are going to have to wait. Unfortunately
windows is still one of them. I have one more idea but it's going to be tedius so I need
a full charge before diving into that again.

I'm starting to ready v3.0 which will contain the new branding. v3.0 also includes more hash
rate increases, nothing spectacular but significant.

A few more algos are being supported and a few others have been enabled but not tested
or officially supported yet.

all supported algos have been tested and submit valid shares, unless otherwise noted. When
unsupported algos show up on pools I will test them and update their status.

Look for the details in the release announcement within the next 24 hrs.

Following v3.0 I will investigate optimizations in newly supported algos as well as optimizations
in the new algos that can be applied to existinng algos.

A code cleanup is also in the plan. The compile is getting very slow.

There is no timetable beyond v3.0, 3.0.1 will be released when there is a good reason for it.

I also have a special one time bonus offer. I have a copy of cpuminer-multi-argon2 by testzcrypto
and have boosted the hash rate 20%. I'm having problems integrating it into cpuminer-opt
so I am willing to release a standalone optimized version. A windows verison should aslo be available
though I haven't actually tested it yet.

If anyone wants this speak up. I'm only doing this once as I have no intentions of forking, but I will
continue to try to integrate argon2 into cpuminer multi.

Sure can let me get to my other laptop where they are so I can be sure the version numbers I post are correct.

Forget the AMD stuff.

This is pretty much a full list of miners I've tested over time -AMD and - the rest of the SP_mods. -10% that was deleted for being useful.



Thanks for the list. I have most of the cpuminers in there. I'll look around the net for a couple that I've never seen before.
It's a long shot but that's how I improved cpuminer, picking the best pieces of many miners.
If there's anything I can't find on my own I'll let you know.

On to release 3.0.
