If I had my own project, and the userbase started making (at this point) obscene demands of the free software I provide, and then begin to pressure me with a bounty -- it would certainly rub me the wrong way.  Just let them work at their own pace,

The last algorithm upgrade was 19 days ago, the last small improvement was 13 days ago.

Yes, I've been sidetracked a bit by other things that are lucrative (Maxcoin style lucrative)
so please excuse me for a bit.

No bounty would currently work for me. If want to set up a bounty, make it public and claimable by anyone implementing
the two missing hashes that are currently missing to complete X13. It's open source after all.

Christian


I'm wondering pretty hard what "Maxcoin style lucrative" could be Smiley You're making your own coin + algo and calling it C&C? Tongue
Doesn't X13 just add fugue and hamsi? Fugue is already available Tongue

which executable should I choose? The 30, 35 or 50 ?
Check up on your gpu here: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
If your GPU is a GTX760, use ccminer30.exe (compute 3.0)
If it's a 750ti, use ccminer50.exe (compute 5.0)

hey,

am thinking of replacing my 280x cards with 750ti GPU's. There would be six GTX 750 ti GPU's on my Asrock H81 board with 8GB RAM.

Question: Can i keep my Haswell Celeron G1820 CPU to run it, or do i need to upgrade to something beefier with more cores?

http://ark.intel.com/products/78955/Intel-Celeron-Processor-G1820-2M-Cache-2_70-GHz
More cores & more beef Wink The RAM doesn't matter that much, it's the hardcoded CPU assist that matters. So if you want full performance, don't save on the CPU.

I run 6 x 750ti with 8gb & celeron g1610 never had an issue with performance, it hasn't stopped my cards hashing at full speed....ever.
Linux? How much CPU usage?

Hey guys, if we're talking about profitability, do lottery tickets count too?
My X11 cudarig of 6.66MH/s (I once started with a 666kh/s scrypt rig Cheesy) gives me a ticket/day to win the knc miner at blackcoinpool. It might be worth the shot if you have some spare hashes Wink (min 750kh/s X11)
586  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 30, 2014, 07:10:59 PM
Proved to have no benefit over nvidia Wink
Nvidia cards run better on linux for games right now
It is also the case on windows. I did some comparison when I received the R9. It was pretty fast in game, however the quality of the image was not that good (especially on Assassin Creed Black Flag, it was rather terrible, fast but horrid). Now I must admit I don't know about the tuning of the amd card, I may have well missed a few things...

AC:Black Flag is a horrible example Tongue It uses Physx a lot, so running it on AMD is not how it was meant to be played Cheesy Great game though, the best AC ever IMHO.
587  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 29, 2014, 11:52:03 PM
Anyone using the gigabyte 750ti cards?

Any reviews of them positive or negative?

Hash speeds on par with what everyone else reports?

Thanks for any info.

Smiley

Yep, I'm using one next to an EVGA SC. It runs slightly better at same OC, but can be OC'd a bit more. But they're larger, so they didn't fit in my case at first, had to buy another one Tongue
So the Gigabyte (GV-N75TWF2OC-2GI) might be a good choice Smiley

So I did a little benchmark on my GTX750TI, and captured the power and frontbus usage for different algo's:


(From left to right, top to bottom)
X11 (Mining on blackcoinpool.com): Algo uses keccak, blake, bmw, groestl, jh, skein, luffa, cubehash, shavite, simd & echo.
Quark: Algo uses blake, bmw, groestl, jh, keccak & skein. It should've been called "X6" Tongue
MNR (same for HVC): Algo is called HEFTY1 and uses sha256, keccak, groestl & blake.
JPC: Algo uses keccak, blake, groestl, jh & skein.
TAC: Algo also uses keccak, blake, groestl, jh & skein, but in a different way ^^ They call it NIST5 Wink
Keccak : Keccak at its simplest, mining using cudaminer instead of ccminer.
Groestl: Groestl Tongue
Fugue: Fugue Tongue
Scrypt: Using cudaminer, no explanation needed Smiley

I'm also unable to compile a working blake-cudaminer. The cudaminer from cryptomining-blog doesn't work either.
No shares being submitted, no power being drawn, cpu clock is only half boosted, etc... Anyone made it work?

Question, when you guys are mining x11 or say JC, with your 750ti's  what causes them to cycle power up and down so much, if you look at % of power its like a see-saw. Are my setting wrong or do you see this also?
Posted from Bitcointa.lk - #us9JZPWZqZBLReyi
Yep, it's normal Wink I still guess it's because the continous chaining of different algo's that X11 and JPC do. Christian, can you confirm this? Tongue

750tis are a no brainer to buy if you want to mine - with the current free-2-play bundle from nvidia a 750ti costs ~95€ and you can even sell it right now for 120€+. You will be able to sell the card with profits after months of mining.

what version?

I think all of them Tongue http://www.geforce.com/spring2014-free-to-play-bundle
591  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 29, 2014, 04:48:53 PM


Weird, I am just having the best time right now Wink


You're the exception Cheesy
592  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 29, 2014, 04:36:42 PM
the problem of 750ti is that high-end 28nm maxwell are coming in 3-4 months, and this put me on the fence...

high-end maxwell should be 2.5-3 x faster, no-brainer for density

I don't mind having a redundant 750ti or two. It's giving me a lot of fun NOW, and I can easily resell it or put it into an older PC to upgrade it.
Mining is a lot about fun, but...
593  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 29, 2014, 04:27:43 PM
you guys with that 2.8 boost, you really want amd to die, shame on you, leave amd in peace Grin

when x13 + 2.8MH/s boost for nvidia will be available, amd will be forgotten
Most people who are still buying mining equipment, buy Nvidia already Wink You can shamelessly buy a Geforce gtx750ti and put it into a free x16 slot. Many people don't use the x16 slot on their Asrock mobo's, so it's a nice buy.
594  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 29, 2014, 04:10:35 PM
I love and i want new ccminer for 750ti for mining x11 at 2.8 mh/s Cheesy .

Not going to happen

So you think C² won't release it?
They're making us wait though Tongue

They will release it but the more people ask, it wont speed it up

Ah, yeah, I can understand that Tongue But I still shat my pants when I saw the recent X11 boost for sph-sgminer Wink

So I am mining and ccminer shows accepted shares but nothing is being shown on the pool
What card do you have and which ccminer are you using?
If you have a 750ti, use ccminer50.exe. If you have a 760 use ccminer30.exe.
All according to this: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-gpus
597  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 27, 2014, 09:22:23 PM
actually, I am thinking to unlock the tdp.
With the core clock at max overclock, there are clear sign of throttling (the tdp usage ramps up to 118% then go back to 60% and so on... as well as the core clock...)

I did set my TDP to 65, but it just doesn't help, there is something else in there that keeps it from performing as expected.

Still pegged at Voltage limits as the reason, but it is a lower percentage of what the top level thinks it should be.

I think it has to do with there being no Pstate 2 (Custom) on the 750ti for whatever reason. Only state 0 and 8.

I am not an expert enough to just go into KBT and start changing numbers with confidence, but that is how I edited the TDP.

Have any thoughts on if the BIOS from one of my MSI cards (TF model) will work on the other (OC model)? Everything reports exactly the same in GPUZ except the model of memory, but I haven't been brave enough to try it. There is a different version on each model, but the TF just runs faster and OC's better.... not sure.

Are you guys talking about this?:


To me this just seems to be the effect of the different algo's. When I'm mining plain groestl or keccak I'm not seeing this, mining JPC it gets a bit more spikey, but at X11, which has 11 different algo's (lol) which each have a different impact on the power usage, it gets the worst. So that may explain those lines.

Can anyone explain this?

This is from twin 660TI's mining jackpot using:

D:\ccminer30\ccminer30.exe -q -s 1 -a jackpot -d 0,1 -o  stratum+tcp://www.hashharder.com:9958

Hashharder reports: 4.2598 Mh/s

What is going on?

I doubt that these two cards are that capable.

I was getting close to 7 MHS earlier

~C

It seems like one of your cards crashed. You'll have to reboot probably.
598  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 27, 2014, 05:02:14 PM
I think something is really wrong with X11. I mean each crappy coin get from start several GHash/s right from the start.
(or may-be it isn't a lot actually... if compared to successful coin when only a few coins was launched per week)

something is fishy for sure, secret x11 asic is mining i think, can't be all gpu, the x11coin has 500giga of net hash lol

if I recall correctly, didnt AMD recently get something like a 40% hashrate boost on x11?  I mean 500 GH/s is a lot, but lets say out of the usual mining hardware for AMD they'll pull 2.5 MH/s a card on average between the low and high end stuff.  that would make that 500gh/s to be 200,000 cards out there in the wild for AMD to be the entirety of that number.  Given that scrypt was so popular for so long, would it really be that unrealistic to be GPU alone?  Especially if there was some less than advertised multipool or stratum proxy.  Dunno, just another theory.  It's my understanding that ASICs are not at all easy to make.  Wouldn't the most likely scenario be someone with an x11 FPGA set up?  I mean either way, they sure as hell will keep it a secret.  

Mmmh I think Innosilicon is already testing their x11 asic right now, and they will start popping to public right after x11 coin hype is over like they did with their A2 chips...

I think it's a combination of several things but one thing for sure: "old" hardware getting reused.
One can easily make an X11 FPGA set-up, by chaining several old BTC FPGA's and reprogramming them. This wouldn't give them a huge speed boost, but they can use it again at a competitive hashrate, so they will.
Many big AMD rigs have been shut down in favor of scrypt ASICs like gridseed. These too are re-purposed, but at a much cooler temp, lower wattage, etc... So many miners who still had their rigs are powering them back on, one by one.

And then there's the newest hype of cudamining Smiley No comment needed.

But I don't think there are any X11 ASIC's out yet that work stable and at a competitive hashrate. It will take some time before you have your own X11 USB miners Tongue

If some of you are still on JPC take a look at this pool.

https://www.minep.it/pool/jpc/

The UI is awesome. Cheesy


I like the site but for JPC they just are not finding blocks. If you have enough hash you can solo and find 3 to 4 blocks a day still and keep all the coins.

I tried it for a day but wasn't worth the amount of coins.

I know they say it all evens out from pool to pool but it didn't seem worth it to me, at this time.

Couldn't find site's policy on the Jackpot reward? went back to Cloudminers

100% for everyone Wink Gets treated like any other block reward.

Price crashed, but still too high of a hashrate Wink
Anyways, minep.it has issues displaying the correct net hashrate. It's around 60GH/s Wink But for the rest, I'm still loving minep.it Smiley Nice UI and a great community Wink
