Just a quick note, to my surprise I noticed that my current sgminer already supports Qubit. It seems it has been there for a long time, much older algo than Lyra or WhirlpoolX.
So it's very likely that users don't need to download anything, just do the necessary config changes to activate Qubit.
I think it's been there since the phm's sph-sgminer times :-) |

I won't talk about the other points but I wouldn't advertise what's in point 5.
Having a publicly available gpu miner which can be largely optimised is not a good thing. It means only a few people will mine it efficiently.
The same happened to groestl coins: they advertised an energy efficient mining algo that in a few months became power hungry because of optimisations coming out at a fast pace. Of course some people had the faster miners almost since the beginning...

I'm also for starting a new thread, RTM said he was open for it, so let's make a new thread, but let's ask Rob to do it.
But I believe rob is not reading this thread: posting on CCT now. |

The first post in this thread has been updated!
Great, thanks! Let's keep this thread busy ;-) |

I have groestl code from smelter (first GPU miner for quark). May be it have some tricks for your work. It was rather fast on radeon HD 5xxx series.
Today my code is obsolete, it has already been discussed in this thread. BTW, another source of tricks is cbuchner1's bitsliced and byteshuffled codeI'd really like to see that implemented on sgminer, but I'm not sure it'll be faster: nvidia is a much different architecture. On a side note, interest in mining groestlcoin based PoW coins is fading because the only coin with enough volume is switching to 1/10 reward soon, the others are dying, dead or with very little reward anyway. It'd be better to just bitslice the S-box, I think, since we don't have warp shuffle. I've seen what you achived on whirlpoolx: assuming a similar improvement can be made on groestl as well, that would mean more than 80 Mh/s. Now, since the time I can dedicate to such project is a few minutes a day, it would take months. Volounters? :-) |

Pallas,
Are you planning on adding myriad-groestl support in the future? If not, could you explain why not? Is it because your groestl kernel is already faster than the myriad-groestl?
Also, are you planning on putting your work on github? Again, if not, could you explain why not?
It seems to me that both are important ways to further your efforts and establish your reputation.
Best regards as always.
HR
Myr-Groestl must do SHA256 as well, IIRC - of course pure Groestl is faster. myr-groestl should be faster because its has a single round of groestl (14 iterations) + sha; groestlcoin is groestl + groestl again, so slower. it's just that I do not have enough free time to work on all these algos..... Now wolf0 just did a fantastic job on whirlpoolx and I want to understand the magic ;-) Haha, you ain't seen impressive yet! Check the thread, I'm about to post again! OMG, this means a lot less reading and TV this week for me LoL! |

I'm getting about 130 Mh/s with 290@1100 and 143 Mh/s with 290x@1100 with wolf linux miner (I believe the kernel is the same of the windows pre-compiled version).
Is it good?
Got 300+ on 290X.  Wonderful! I got 190 without using LDS, very low power but still too low. Will need to go back to the drawing board ;-) |

Hy there  I find this coin very interesting and wanted to know, where i can buy/trade this coin. In addition i found https://bittrex.com/Market/?MarketName=BTC-GRCIs this the coin we are talking on this thread which will be continued, or is this the GridcoinClassic which will be dropped? Thanks in advance! Kind regards, elrippo. that's the new one, "research". same symbol on c-cex, where you can find the classic version under the grcx symbol. Ok, thank you. Which one will be dropped, Classic? yes |

what's the typical hashrate of r9 280x, 290 and 290x?
thanks!

Can my someone explain , why is my RAC 0 but verified RAC is: 33002 ?  { "Project" : "gpugrid", "CPID" : "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "RAC" : 0.00000000, "Team" : "gridcoin", "Verified RAC" : 33002.00000000, "Verified Team" : "gridcoin", "Is my CPID Valid?" : false, "CPID Link" : " http://boinc.netsoft-online.com/get_user.php?cpid=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx", "Errors" : "RAC too low" }, try updating the project using the boinc client and the running "execute resetcpids"; if that doesn't work, try removing and readding the project. |

I've always considered Gridcoin to be one of the more interesting coins out there in the crypto world along with similar coins such as Curecoin and Foldingcoin although I admit I haven't been following it very closely recently. Recently the market cap seems to have shot up from $100,000 to $800,000 in the space of a month which is surprising. Anyway, just out of curiosity but why has the name changed on Coinmarketcap? It's now called Gridcoin Classic? Was there a fork?  EDIT: OK, so I read the wiki and it seems that the coin will be evolving to something more advanced called Gridcoin Research. The whole thing looks very complex though compared to the old model where you simply get rewards based on the no. of BOINC shares, although I understand the new design is superior, so it looks like I've got some reading to do. the reason of the market cap rise is the addition of gridcoin research to the exchanges, so it's fully launched now ;-) |

Myr-groestl: If there is interest and I can get some free time I'd love to do it :-)
Github: for a couple files it's not worth, IMHO
There is interest, I am leaving DMD groestl as I am sick of crap there. HR has convinced me to move to Digibyte which is myriad-groestl? IDK yet I have to d/l wallet and blockchain ... I think it's multi-algo including myr-groestl, skein etc. |

And the price is going up 😊

I believe multiple threads help with algos which use gpu ram: groestl does not. Only WS and intensity matter. TC is a buffer in ram so not relevant as well.
