small question to joblo (or anyone competent in that field, im not  ) i just read the following about upcoming ryzen arch: AMD left out 256bit AVX to save space and power to allow for higher clocks, but it can still decode avx, but it uses 2x128 bit, so it takes 2 cycles for 1 avx instruction. if this turns out to be true, does it have an impact on mining speeds? i suppose yes cheers |

Well it would have to given it is $400 more per miner out of the gate. I don't like those figures. I was leaning toward more Giant's if the price point was good but I can't justify that big a price difference. Get that price down in the $1900 range and it becomes competitive, not at $2100 plus.
So if that can be done to get the price more competitive soon then I will buy more of the Giant miners. Otherwise I will shift my focus back over to the L3's. I know they can get us the price point. Now will they do it?
to be in compliance with the mini miner reduction to 300$ (without any discounts) the giant has to get down to 1800$ (6*300), with 10% discount that is 1620$ i could as well buy all the mini/quad miner just like that but i prefer a single larger unit, but not at this pricepoint, will wait and see |

Hi,
Does anyone know where to find ccminer/alexis-1.0 ?
thanks.
i believe the speedups have been imported into ccminer tpruvot 1.8.4 |

Hey there,
i got a
- Intel i7 6700k
- 16 gb RAM
- GTX 980M
which altcoin (should be kinda stable too) would be preferable ?
electricity cost is negligible
input your speed into the nicehash calculator or whattomine and see for yourself |

I'm planning on upgrading to the AMD Ryzen R7-1800X next month so which coins should I look to mine?
Your choice. Let me rephase by which coins currently offer the best ROI? Or are none of them worth mining as it will cost more for electricity? How comparable are current AMD CPUs compared to Intel and will there be optimizations for Ryzen? Intel leads the way with vectored (SIMD) instructions, AVX2 being the best so far. I have heard annecdotally that AMDs don't perform as well as Intel with vectored instructions. Ryzen looks like a pretty high end CPUs and it's a new architecture so it may have improved. But no one really knows yet. Tell us when you get yours and try it out. Many CPU friendly coins aren't compute bound so faster CPU and optimized vectorization doesn't always help. Memory bandwith and cache size have become the bottlenecks to higher speed, If the Ryzen has 4 channel memory and a larger cache it could help. Alright. I sold my ZEC to preorder Ryzen so I will report back when it arrives. your feedback is welcome, it'll be interesting to see ryzen mining speeds |

core2 seems more appropriate than corei7, but i also like plain cpuminer-sse2.exe  Less typing vs a reference to the actual arch name. I guess the arch name isn't much use for users of the binaries, only to those that compile. I may drop core from all the names. How this? It shows a logical progression of features, more user frendly maybe. SSE4.2 (it's actually 4.2 i just checked) is insignificant to cpuminer but it helps distinguish core2 from early core-i. cpuminer-sse2 cpuminer-sse42 cpuminer-aes-sse42 cpuminer-aes-avx cpuminer-aes-avx2 It's actually sse4.2 not 4.1, I just checked. i support this, what do others think? |

Laptop: My proccessor is intel core 3 Ghz or 4ghz not sure and i have 4 Gb Raam and the regular graphic card of hp laptops nvidia maybe
And a pc with same intel
And nvidia geforce 9400 gt
And 640 hdd
So .. Can i mine to get even 5-10$ a week with even bitcoin not altcoin?
Or should I sell these and buy better pc ?
- the cpu model is not very specific, it will likely earn about < 0.00005 BTC per day if its a core2 and a bit more if newer (core-i3/5/7) - laptop cpu likely less - 9400gt will likely earn < 0.00001 BTC per day, if it even runs (its very old) - laptop gpu might be a intel onboard as well, again not very specific, likely <0.00001 BTC per day if its onboard/weak/old sum it all up and you end up with about 0.00008 BTC per day at best (which is about 0.08$), so your weekly profit is about 0.56$ at best with that old hardware if you really want to get involved with mining you should not just go out and buy stuff and expect it to magically work oob. knowing your equipment and what it is capable of (even by just trying it) is the first step, and you will have to do it yourself. |

so its only the renaming i assumed for both? in that case no new dl link is needed, ill just rename them sse2 was intentional naming becaused it's used so often on AMD, I messed up last time calling it core2. Your script should expect cpuminer-sse2.exe from now on. in the new dl its still *-corei7-sse2.exe (or did you mean "Your script should expect cpuminer -corei7-sse2.exe from now on"?) Oops, you're right, core i7-sse2, next time. Still wrong, it's permanent name is cpuminer-core-sse2.exealright i actually dont have a script to change, rather my miner paths would need to be changed on each computer (they are not hardcoded/in the sourcecode), so i will note that and just rename the sse2 file on each new version when i manually push it in my bin repo |

the naming scheme changed again? *-sse2.exe missing *-corei7-sse41.exe missing *-corei7-sse2.exe new *-corei7-sse41-avx2.exe new am i right to assume that they are the same arch, just different names? *-sse2 => *-corei7-sse2 *-corei7-sse41 => *-corei7-sse41-avx2 cheers |

Oh yes it works only with nvidia cards with such system it wouldn't be an issue, just use another scripted tool for AMD's like wattool  if you build it roughtly like i said, you can know when to use one or the other, very easily  wattool only works for rx cards, or am i mistaken? i couldnt find a nice tool to easily set the clocks on, lets say, an amd 7970 if possible i only want one interface to change everything (which afterburner offers) cheers ps: i already have a similar structured mining management software with switching, the oc/uc settings would just be executed before starting the miner, everything can be customized (and its not intended for newbies so i dont have to auto select the correct stuff, the user will have to do that once ) |

has anybody done that before, or is there a better way?
i have tested the following setup:
1) install afterburner and afterburner remote server
2) configure per miner clocks (and maybe voltages too, idk, i dont use that) somewhere (eg miner-manager)
3) make a http call to the remote server app to update the clocks
4) repeat 3) for each miner being switched
this should allow for automatic OC/UC depending on the miner being run and the gpu it is running on, also it works for nvidia cards too
ideas/suggestions?
cheers
I use a call to a batfile that use nvidia inspector to do my OC/UC @ the start of the mining script depending on the algo you can also do it with a combo cygwin/batfile if you want it to be done remotely. here is a little snippy to get you started %~dp0nvidiaInspector-1.9.7.8\nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:0,0,150 -setMemoryClockOffset:0,0,595 -setPowerTarget:0,60 -setTempTarget:0,0,85
timeout 1
%~dp0nvidiaInspector-1.9.7.8\nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:1,0,150 -setMemoryClockOffset:1,0,595 -setPowerTarget:1,60 -setTempTarget:1,0,85
timeout 1
%~dp0nvidiaInspector-1.9.7.8\nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:2,0,150 -setMemoryClockOffset:2,0,595 -setPowerTarget:2,60 -setTempTarget:2,0,85
timeout 1
%~dp0nvidiaInspector-1.9.7.8\nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:3,0,150 -setMemoryClockOffset:3,0,595 -setPowerTarget:3,60 -setTempTarget:3,0,85
timeout 1
%~dp0nvidiaInspector-1.9.7.8\nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:4,0,150 -setMemoryClockOffset:4,0,595 -setPowerTarget:4,60 -setTempTarget:4,0,85
timeout 1
%~dp0nvidiaInspector-1.9.7.8\nvidiaInspector.exe -setBaseClockOffset:5,0,150 -setMemoryClockOffset:5,0,595 -setPowerTarget:5,60 -setTempTarget:5,0,85
timeout 1 For remote/recurrent operation, just have a database/datafiles (flat csv or something more fancy) with the list of your miner & type of miner (mining rig 01 - nvidia / mining rig 02 - AMD and so on), another one with algos / type of mining rig (amd or nvidia) and the associated script to start mining, and just do a remote recursive request parsing those little flat file or your fancier database to remotely kill / start miner depending on algos, current profitability, type of rigs & so on. You would probably also want a tool as a frontend that calculate profitability per type/model of cards to do your switching accordingly, this is about what i do atm, but less complex because i only have one type of rig & cards (12x rigs of 1070 gpus) but the idea is the same, just more data to process to make the correct decision for each rigs I didn't liked to have my smartness all focused on one frontend, so what i did with my approach was to make each rig smart for it's own mining, and only gather datas remotely both way, basically i have a central server that calculate profitability, there is a tool on each rig that will check this current most profitable algo on the central server and do the algo switching accordingly, also the central server monitor each rig and get current mining status with API's when existing, if the rig is answering in a timely manner both network and/or miner and start some action if it's not (kill / restart miner, hard rig restart and so on), also matching against databases/datafiles to see if the rig is mining @ the proper hashrate more or less a few %. There is alot of ideas  thanks for the detailed explanation i was under the impression nvidia inspector only works with nvidia cards (which ruled it out for this purpose), does it also work with amd cards? cheers |

small academic question regarding stratum interception on claymore miners (and any other fee based stratum miner):
how can i test if the speed is staying the same as if not intercepting the traffic in the most efficient/fastest way?
probably i will have too hook the miner to some pool and check the 24hr avg with and without the interception, but will vardiff make this more difficult? i dont want to deploy to to multiple gpus, just one old 7870 i got lying around to test it, so hashrate will be kinda low
i have written a small nodejs app which acts as a direct proxy (it creates one connection per connected miner, not only one single connection) which replaces the authorization params with custom ones and listens on all the ports which the miner tries to connect to (which are routed to this machine via hosts file and nat reflection)
any suggestions and/or pools with good stats are welcome, i would prefer to use cryptonight
Disclaimer: i dont want to "steal" the devfee, just see if this really works, and if not why not
also if claymore reads this: please remove the nicehash stratum from devfee, it bans the addr when too many people connect to it (and thus lowers the hashrate because it cant connect), thanks
It works - you can really only tell by checking the disassembly. thanks, with local ips i was getting the message that it detected the local ip (likely private subnet checking), with my public ip with nat reflection it seemed to work though, no message there, but it seems too easy (no expected ip checking, no custom dns verification, etc) disassembly is currently over my skills im afraid, will have a look at this possibly cheers |

Hello guys can I use my nvidea card and a 4Gb ram and a 2gb processor to make even 5$ a week? I have free elictricity.. So can any one please tell me how to start from a to z i am new here and i only have a btc wallet with 0$ and a laptop
So i will be so happy if u tell me how to use the software and how to mine alt coin and how much money can i make
Thank you so much in advance.
the best thing you could initially do is note your gpu model and search the nicehash calculator page for it, if its not available search the net for hashrate figures for major algorithms like eth, equihash, lbry, and maybe decred and input them in whattomine this will give you a rough estimate of what you can expect after that you will have to search forums and read, read a lot |

Try
sgminer -k lyra2z -o stratum+tcp://xzc.suprnova.cc:1596 -u USERNAME.x -p x -I 18
i have added the intensity setting, but it still crashes (error is -11 not -1, sorry)  What AMD drivers are you using? You sure you aren't mining something when you run sgminer? It works on all my rigs just the speeds suck. i was using 16.7.3 and i wasnt mining anything else at that time, it was tested on win7 x64 edit: also 16.12.2 not working, too |
