Replying before I forget.

I'm having quite some issues this week and I'm not sure I can dedicate efforts to this. Can you drop me a line at the end of the week so this bumps up again?

BTW, the protocol I'll describe is for standard BTC-derived coins. I've been told CryptoNote coins are farly different. Hopefully that will still be enough to give you an idea for a first prototype.

You are most likely mining SHA256D... or some other algo which is not scrypt. Post your startup .bat! I think 7790 will be in the order of a two/three hundreds khs!

As a side note: depending on pool and block speed, you might have to mine quite a lot before getting coins (not that any of this matters if you get banned).

Is there someplace I can see the whole hashrate of the network over time in a graph?
/me interested too! Pretty pictures, pretty pictures!

I know pretty well how opensource works. I am an opersource programmer for 20 years now.
The code was initially based on sph but is now completely rewritten, so I can license it as I like. Or simply avoid publishing it.
Then keep it for yourself and enjoy a couple months of mining. Groestl and groestl-myr is on my list already and I will release it for free when it's done.

Lots of people don't take the time to do even some research.
Personally I don't have time to do much research. On 1st page it is said to be POS but there's a miner... for the initial PoW period I assume.... is it using scrypt? It doesn't seem very useful to mine it right now using conventional GPUs, let alone browser.
How is this coin going?

Nonetheless, I want to congratulate with the PandaCoin team for their efforts on the GUI. This is fairly close what mining should be in 2014.

Phew! Every time I see the transparent borders it scares the crap out of me! Tongue

Are you aware you should be using a new miner targeted specifically for Win7 Qubit users? Hit github. New GCN-specific kernels.

P.S my Qubit results..look screen..
Is that Vista?
548  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: low hashrate on: September 09, 2014, 06:10:58 AM
I mean with no overclock.
But anyway yes, last time I tried with no configs at all the miner guessed a nice config anyway.

Besides, aren't they using the same algos now?

maybe we should focus on a light version wallet with more features and easy for all to use..!
QFE. Electrum wallet please! My HDD is 320GB and about 100 free.
551  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: low hashrate on: September 08, 2014, 10:00:12 AM
Did you try running everything at stock settings?
552  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Should QubitCoin Become Merge Mined [POLL] on: September 07, 2014, 10:49:35 AM
I like Qubit but what about Q2C?
I assumed it was dead. What for?  Huh
553  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: The Serious Altcoin Discussion/News Thread - No FUD, Shilling or Trolling. on: September 07, 2014, 10:43:24 AM
I have honestly forgot what we were discussing.

What about 2p-pow?
554  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Malicious mining in my computer facility on: September 07, 2014, 06:46:13 AM
Yeah I do. Wireshark?
Is this suggestion to know when something like this happens again? (although, it wouldn't help me trace him right?)
Something like it.
I cannot help you in setting up the protection but I can describe you the protocol being used for pooled mining (if you don't want to mess up with google searching for it).
555  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Malicious mining in my computer facility on: September 06, 2014, 04:12:44 PM
OP, do you have access to network inspectors or something?

Miners usually communicate using JSON-RPC, maybe you could rig up something to monitor the network and looking up for the correct packets. Is this a possibility for you?
556  Bitcoin / Mining speculation / Re: Raspberry Pi Bitcoin Mining on: September 06, 2014, 04:00:52 PM
Would the Raspberry Pi be powerful enough to pool mine anything at all, it doesnt have to be profitable (it's my experiment)?
Hello Fishbones. I experimented with some BTC GPU mining at the end of last year. Now, desktop GPUs are real powerhouses compared to Pi yet to see something appear on the pool balance I had to mine about an hundred hours, it was in the order of ... I think 5 nBTC at the end.

I suggest trying some altcoin. MYR and DGB use the same algos and they're still on a very reasonable difficulty. Granted, you still don't get a profit but at least you don't go crazy on decimals (especially for DGB)... and who knows what the future might hold for them.
557  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: cheapo rig shut down problems on: September 06, 2014, 07:51:33 AM
^ Very interesting word of advice.

As a side note, I had lockups related to both northbridge temperatures and RAM (!).
I'm still investigating the issue, but I can tell the lockups were greatly reduced after I pointed a fan to the NB.

This is especially the case for cheap mainboards as they cut on everything not being reviewed, quality coolers are the first thing to go. Your NB cooler seems fairly capable however.

Also check out capacitors and voltage regulators on mainboard.
558  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GPU mining at lowest on: September 06, 2014, 06:34:42 AM
I assume you're talking about scrypt rate only as a measure of power.
There's really no point in mining scrypt since half of this year (very conservatively) as far as I'm concerned.
559  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner v6.1 on: September 06, 2014, 06:31:19 AM
not that hot. probably just mildly hotter than X11. it is likely that the miner is still not at optimum. i suspect some private miners are hashing much faster. perhaps even claymore is running a version that is much faster. no proof of course Smiley
Hello dvdemecillo, great thinking you got there!
Temperature is indeed a nice way to understand how close you are to optimal. If the temperature is far from "gaming temperature" then the algo not efficiently mapped.

As a consequence, the possibility of a much higher performance miner is indeed possible (albeit I cannot tell if "possible " is also "real").
560  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: low hashrate on: September 06, 2014, 06:28:51 AM
I think it is important to note that Scrypt mining at this point can be carried out only as an exercise.

With an hashrate so low, are you sure it's GPU mining in the first place?
I had a report from an user who somehow couldn't use his GPU. For some reason, the driver would go full CPU emulation.
Are the CPU cores loaded as normal?
