Thank you sp I think once you start your builds on the 980ti the performance will go way up....and so do the donations.  I think the 980ti card is to expensive for me to buy. Please ask NVIDIA to send me a card for free   And continue to donate some beers.  A few bucks is bether than nothing.. How about a donation address for a 980ti for you sp? Put it on your signature. You seem to never have experienced programming for free and expecting donations... |

gpu miner says:
"curl did not receive enough bytes"
and quits.
looks like it gets a wrong getblock size.
This is because the GPU miner only works with the development branch of Sia. You'll have to clone the Sia repo, build it yourself, and then run the GPU miner. Did that: compiled the daemon and client from git, they seem to work, the gpu miner doesn't echo any error but freezes my pc a couple seconds after it loads. Other opencl applications run just fine. |

Your prices look very good. If You take into account that one EURO has 100 EUROCENTS than Your calculations in EUR will improve in Your favor . I hope that I made Your day knowing that You are paying between 0,0416 and 0,0529 EUR/kWh  So fire-up Your GPUs and relax... Haha.. You not only made my day, you also made me look like a fool.. Haha :-) I never realised this because it's in my monthly rent included, so it's basically for free.. Oh no I'm the most unlucky again! You made me sad! LoL!!! |

Meanwhile, I've cpu-mined a couple blocks but the client is now stuck at block 4811 (mined blocks still unconfirmed).
Where can I have a look at the mining transactions and where is the log, to check for errors?
The easiest way to view the mining transactions is to query 'localhost:9980/transactionpool/transactions' (you can use curl or just put that into a web browser). If you are stuck because of the transactions, restarting Sia will clear the transaction pool. Unfortunately we don't have much logging yet. We are in the process of adding more logging. If blocks that you mine are not being accepted, there should be an error that gets printed out. edit: if you are still stuck after restarting Sia, try deleting the 'Sia/consensus/chain.db' file, which will force you to re-download the blockchain. thanks. the wallet unstuck and I mined some other blocks. 'localhost:9980/transactionpool/transactions' says just "null" (but my balance is not zero). |

If I am going to buy a new GPU computer, can you guys recommend some types of GPU which will be popular for Siacoins solo mining and future pool mining?
Our own benchmarks, consistent with the history of GPU mining, show that amd is a lot better than nvidia. As for specific models, I have no recommendations. Recently, new NVIDIA cards have shown better hashrate/watt ratio than amd. Depends on algo, though. How much the miner is optimised can make a big difference, too. Drawback is that they are more expensive. |

This may have been answered before, but here goes anyway: what's more efficient to mine the Vertcoin on: AMD or nVidia?
I think nvidia, but since the algo is very dependant on memory (especially latency) it depends on the specific card model and memory chips. See my thread for AMD hashrates and sp_'s for nvidia. |

Energy is quite expensive in France: 0.144€/kWh, which makes Nvidia the only cards that can ROI. And it still takes them around 8 months...
Expensive? In Italy we pay way more than 0.2, even 0.3 at times. And the more you use, the more you pay (per KW/h). Ouch, that's rough! I was comparing with US prices that go as low 0.1$ Your ROI times must be painful :-/ I only mine during winter, so I can at least use the heat produced :-/ |

CPU may have an impact on some optimised miners (like whirlpoolx) or if you don't set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

Anybody with a good working lyra2RE config?
And what is the normal hashrate with 280x around 700 or more ?
see the thread in my signature. tanx pallas ... ill have a test with them this week ... an issue has just pulled down our entire system ( internet AGAIN ) and connectivity is down most of the time - with a little bit of uptime ... much appreciated ... #crysx I known how you feel: I've been struggling with unstable DSL for years, then I switched to wimax just to have similar problems over again :-( If the miner works fine for you and you wish to support, there is a sample conf with my address you can mine a bit with. Thanks! ;-) if we can get the damned adsl connection back on - and running STABLE ( a word that these comms companies seem to know nothing about ) - then i will setup a donation link specifically for the algo and miner that you have optimized as part of the testing of the donation links ( which are currently donating for sp at the moment ) ... we will mine on there for a donation for you ( with the machines that the miner works on ) - no problem ... think its time to connect the cable link back again ... both adsl 2+ links are down - and so we get intermittent connectivity with intermittent mining and intermittent internet ... i wonder if intermittent payment to these companies would be a suitable offset? ... #crysx Thanks mate ☺ |

What do ya know...ccminer.exe compile worked. Next question....what do I delete now...everything in that dir or do I keep it.
Thank you again....think I'll copy those instructions and save 'em someplace.
That was fast. You only really need ccminer.exe. You can delete the rest of the tree. Edit: For the really addventurous you can also compile in a VM. The only difference is don't install the drivers with cuda. Probably shouln't do that in any case if you already have newer drivers already iinstalled. I do that on a linux host because that system has the fastest cpu. As I said in an earlier post, I've tried to compile in the past, but I musta missed a step or something. Your explanation was very good, easy to follow. Already had the needed programs installed. I tired it with git-work ( or whatever it is) a few times also..didn't work out well. I've saved the instructions...we'll see if I can get it to work, in the future. Thanks.... edit: now if I could just find out what the difference is between scryptN, scryptNf (same or not), and blake, blake2b (same or not)? And do those use the same miner setup? It gets confusing when the names are so close.  scrypt is good old scrypt with n factor of 1 scrypt-N uses double the memory per hash and this is fixed.(n factor fixed at 2) scrypt-N factor has changing/increasing memory requirement with time and you have to change your .bat every time as GPU's memory is fixed.(N factor 2-16 with time, most i have seen) Does this help? I dont know about blake. Hmmm no. Plain scrypt has an n-factor of 10. Scrypt-n, as in vertcoin and many others, starts at 11 and goes up with time (see the vertcoin thread). Scrypt with adaptive n-factor, or scrypt-jane, like in yacoin, has a different algorithm for the n-factor and different hash. |

Why not adding my miner to the OP (see my signature)?
I'm sure if you pm jamesl22 he should add it (I think he has the access). I'll update the thread on thisisvtc.com with this information. By the way - any chance you can optimize the tpruvot CPU miner at all? Thanks! I'll have a look at the cpu miner as soon as I have some free time. |

The free quark miner (windows executable) is most likely a Trojan virus and have hidden mining inside it. Opensource is the way to go..
Secures the blockchains, secure the coins.
True, but I fear people won't support an opensource miner which is slower than a closed source, readily available one. Personally I'd prefer if Wolf0 would release his miner (the old one), so you don't have to do the same work over again. But of course it's up to him ;-) I myself made part of the work for x11 and it takes a lot of time indeed. |

You noobs are going to be taken for a ride when this pump is over. I feel bad for anyone buying these highs thinking it's magically going to gain traction again. Such overextended, much downside. Wow.
sad to say, but it's this kind of people that made all the altcoins possible; i.e. nobody buys = no coins now you could say that we don't need all those altcoins... still they are important for innovation, imho. |

Let's not start another linux vs win OT. I know by experience that it's pointless, it's like android vs iphone ;-)
