My new Apollo just arrived today. It literally took me 10 minutes to put it together and have it mining. Insane!!!
Update: Some time in the night, the miner just stopped working and now the apollo appears to be dead.
Update 1: After a little bit of a panic session, I reflashed the SD card and all appears to be well. Apparently the power went off sometime in the night here and fragged the filesystem enough to forget about the GPIO pins, so the hardware monitor wasn't starting. Also added it to the UPS.

Is MMC Dead or just idle?
I realize it doesn't have momentum and had some bad breaks over the past year, but the features in MMC are just what the world needs now.
CPU only mineable = available to anyone with even a half way decent processor. potentially even mobiles.
Can one of the current devs please get in touch with me?
Regards.

The details about what happens after POW have not been in any way fixed. Usually there is no difference between POW and POS as you can argue that both systems have a barrier of entry which gives a coin value and helps in price discovery.
What exactly do you mean by "Only the rich people benefit of it."? Maybe we can clear up any doubts or misconceptions? PoS is about betting, that you have the none manipulated file. I'm not deep into cryptocurrencys, but thats what i understood of it. So if poor people betting with their stake-wallet that they have a none manipulated file they have not much to loose. thats why on PoS only rich guys can take part of it. They have to bet that they have the not manipulated transaction file. Sure both have a barrier of entry but PoW (especially the GPU one) is easy to enter for everyone. But for PoS you need to ensure with your wallet, that you have the non manipulated file. I'm not 100% sure if i am right but thats what i understood of PoS. If for example only guys with 1 Shift in Wallet would ensure, they would have a too less risk. so they could manipulate the system with 1 Shift. Yep thats kind of far out there. non-manipulated files? controlling the network with only 1 Shift? Not even sure where that is all going or coming from. To explain PoS in easy terms... Think of PoS as like having a savings account at a regular bank. You have a certain amount of coin in there (your stake) and it earns interest. It makes no difference if you have a lot or a little, you still get interest. If you help the network by keeping your wallet gui running all the time, you may make a little more interest. "Rich" or "little" really makes no difference. Obviously the more coins you have, the more interest you will earn, but everyone earns interest at the same interest rate and you can still mine or buy more coins to grow your stake. Simple. |

So far with 1.1.3, it appears that DAG generation fails if one of the GPUs falls too far behind the rest when creating. Which is weird because it was on a identical machine with the rest. I restarted it and it generated the DAG fine. So it appears if the loop is slightly delayed it screws things up. Haven't had it happen since. Also had a rig crash, not sure if that's related to the new miner though. Hashrate appears to be about 4-5% less then 1.0.8 When I tested exp few weeks ago I got about 7%higher hashrate than by ethereum
I've had consistently 4-5% increase on Ethereum, 7% on Expanse and 12% on Shift vs stock ethminer over and above previous mining hash rates respectively, so its not low difficulty, its better hashing performance. So while the improvements aren't 7% across all Ethash based coins they are at least consistently faster hash rates. They use the same algo... Not sure why you'd see a increase in performance with other coins unless the pools you're using are just better. Since Dagger is weird it could be the smaller DAG files are doing it as well seeing as the bigger the DAG file gets, the more performance loss occurs. I believe this is different from AMD to Nvidia hardware though. Make sure you note the cards you're using. the opencl kernel (.cl) file in genoil's ethminer is more optimized than the stock ethminer. plus some of the miner code itself has been polished to be more efficient. optimized .cl file + cleaner ethminer code = hashing speed increase if you read back a few pages Ive listed my rig setup, pool and proxy software. |

can you provide the link for the standard version? it should not offer anything for nvidia over the genoil version right? also why mining expanse when ethereum is still far more profitable...
The standard ethminer is part of the cpp-ethereum distribution http://github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum but it doesnt support nVidia cards, hence the need for genoil's ethminer variant. |

I HAVE NEVER MINED EXPANSE--
But, the responses in this thread indicate that the Expanse (EXP) blockchain has a far lower mining difficulty than Ethereum (ETH), and that EXP mines at a much faster hash rate. How big is the EXP DAG file? Would mining it with a 750ti rig still be practical? --scryptr
The DAG for EXP is running up to 1.8G I think. So you should be good for a little while. After that I would probably start thinking about moving up to something in the 780 line if you have the cash or to SHIFT (SHF) coin. Also and this is just a theory, you might be able to put 2 or more 750Ti's in SLI mode and mine with that. It never worked out so well with SHA256 or Scrypt based coins but there isnt any technical reason it wouldnt work out for Ethash based coins. But again I dont know of anyone that has actually tried it. |

My miner doesn't support dwarfpool. If you can raise 1 BTC (with a group of people), I will add support for it.
I had some time today to sniff the Dwarfpool connection. Strange that after all this time, they would choose to implement a non standard version of the stratum protocol. So its a Dwarfpool weirdness issue. Regular farm mining through eth-proxy works just fine. Im noticing a 7 Mhs increase in speed and more consistent mining speeds on my AMD rigs. all this by using the eth-proxy instead of stratum mode with genoil miner? I would love to use the stratum mode of genoil's ethminer but it uses a strict implementation of the original standard stratum protocol which Dwarfpool it seems unfortunately does not. So, while it does connect and authenticate, it never actually gets work. The speed improvement though is in the optimizations in the miner that genoil has done, eth-proxy is merely a bridge. Just a quick empirical sniff of the network trafiic to and from Dwarfpool seems to show that Dwarfpool is expecting a hash rate from the client which can be enabled or disabled in the original ethminer but is not in the genoil version. There may be other differences, I just have run out of weekend to dig into it. |

Besides my problems with compilation from github I would like to ask you a question:
Is fglrx driver ok?
what flavor of linux? |

So its a Dwarfpool weirdness issue. Regular farm mining through eth-proxy works just fine. Im noticing a 7 Mhs increase in speed and more consistent mining speeds on my AMD rigs. FAR LESS THAN 1 BTC-- Eth-Proxy works just fine, it is easy to set-up and run, it is free. I don't use Genoil's Ethminer on my AMD rigs, just on my nVidia rigs. All of them connect through Eth-Proxy. I don't use the stratum mode with Genoil's miner, I just let it mine, and it mines just fine. --scryptr What are you using for your AMD cards? I have been using Claymore 4.3 seems to be ok. Do you suggest anything different? My 6 380x cards are pulling about 128.5 on average. (21.4 percard) With genoil ethminer Im pulling 27.x MHs per Sapphire R9 280X Vapor-X under Ubuntu 14.04 with the proprietary AMD driver set at 15.something. Was running the stock ethminer that came with the ethereum package. Mining speed is roughly a 7 MHs increase on average. Its also farm mining against an eth-proxy running on a different server setup for Expanse on Dwarfpool. I had hoped to use genoil's ethminer stratum feature to hit it directly (sans proxy) so that I could set up a little profit switching with Ethereum and SHIFT but to no avail. Just have to have a little more patience  My run script is: #!/bin/bash export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0 export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100 export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1 export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 ethminer -R ~/.ethash-exp -E old --farm-recheck 300 -G -F http://192.168.1.5:8080/rig3 --cl-extragpu-mem 16 --cl-local-work 256 --cl-global-work 16384 Haven't checked out Claymore yet, but I will now.  NOTE: Vapor-X cards suck for mining which is why I use them on my test rig. I would expect that a better version of the R9 280X or a newer generation card will probably have better results. 27 MHs? I barely get 20 on my powercolor 280x SAME HERE-- I was getting 22MH/s a month ago. The rig has become slower since. OC sits at 1100/1500, stock power, no undervolting. However, I am not using Genoil's miner on the AMD rig. --scryptr are you using the wolfo version, which seems to offer a boost of 7%? still need proof of this STOCK ETHMINER-- Just to answer your question, I am using a very standard version of Ethminer. It is very reliable, and mines 24/7 without crashing. Maybe I could mine Expanse at 27MH/s, but would I make more profit? Haven't done the math. --scryptr Expanse unfortunately isnt quite up there with Ethereum as far as price goes. If you can mine enough EXP in a day vs 1 ETH in a day you could be at least be even. Honestly Ive only roughly worked out the math. Im just a mining freak that doesn't like my rigs to be unproductive. And all my rigs run 24/7 as well. |

UPDATE: Gave Claymore a spin and it is fairly elegant. I didnt really see the speed increase. In fact it was a little slower. But that may be configuration settings and such also. Regardless, I don't like proprietary binaries running on my rigs so I gave it the ax and switched back to genoil's ethminer. |

However, I am not using Genoil's miner on the AMD rig. --scryptr Generally, your rig will get slower as the difficulty rises and the DAG gets bigger, regardless the mining software you use. An optimized CL kernel will only get you so far after all. The best variable to adjust your overall speed just from my experience is the Farm recheck time. get a good balance there with your other variables and it will give a smooth consistent mining speed rather than speeds that tend to fluctuate . Also keep in mind that Im mining the snot out of Expanse at 27 MHs (much lower difficulty) for now as the difficulty of Ethereum which I was getting about 20 MHs per card until it eventually grew above a difficulty that I could remain profitable at. SHIFT for example with such a currently low difficulty would give a high mining rate I think. |

Yes, after not being successful at getting a working stratum connection with genoil ethminer by itself to Dwarfpool, I dropped back to genoil ethminer in regular getwork (farm) mining mode to an eth-proxy and ran a network sniffer on the inbound and outbound traffic on the proxy host machine. |

Any takers? What's a good BTC based crowd funding site? I can set something up there. Perhaps a smart contract for it from one of the templates on github. One for Ethereum, one for Expanse and one for SHIFT. That should bring in some dev cash. |

Hopfully quick question about genoil ethminer... I just pulled the latest genoil ethminer from github and built it without any problems. I am trying to stratum mine at Dwarfpool directly with command: ethminer -G -S exp-us.dwarfpool.com:8018 -O <ADDRESS_HERE>.rig3:<MY_EMAIL> which according to everything Ive read here should work fine. However, I can get a stratum connection but I never get a work package: Genoil's ethminer 0.9.41-genoil-1.0.8 ===================================================================== Forked from github.com/ethereum/cpp-ethereum CUDA kernel ported from Tim Hughes' OpenCL kernel With contributions from nerdralph, RoBiK, tpruvot and sp_ Please consider a donation to: ETH: 0xeb9310b185455f863f526dab3d245809f6854b4d ? 10:11:59|ethminer Connecting to stratum server exp-us.dwarfpool.com:8018 ? 10:11:59|stratum Connected to stratum server exp-us.dwarfpool.com : 8018 ? 10:11:59|stratum Starting farm ? 10:11:59|stratum Subscribed to stratum server ? 10:11:59|stratum Authorized worker <MY_ADDRESS>.rig3 ? 10:11:59|stratum Discarding incomplete response m 10:12:01|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:03|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:05|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:07|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:09|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:11|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:13|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:15|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:17|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:19|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:21|ethminer Waiting for work package... m 10:12:23|ethminer Waiting for work package... It is happening with both Ethereum and Expanse pools. Trying to figure out if its my issue or is Dwarfpool just weird. Is anyone else having this issue and if so have you been able to work around it and how? |

So! I apologize again for the delay. Now I'am at home. I have not any photos from hospital. My head was busy with other questions!
But it does not matter! Why? Because we are always here!So...As I said, something has happened with our network, diff has fallen greatly, then old hackers decided to take advantage of this situation and started new attack with a large hash power. To put it simply, it was bug with diff, somehow diff jumped into negative. So, our solution was replace old KGW with new DGW (Dark gravity wave), now everything should be good, atleast for few weeks Now we have new ver 1.6.0.1 For download new version of Ivugeo wallet use ► http://ivugeocoin.com/down/ivugeoevolutioncoin-qt-win.zipSource code ► https://github.com/ivugeocoin/ivugeocoinFor upgrade Ivugeo wallet not necessary to delete the old blockchain! Just use the new file ivugeocoin-qt.exe (Only for all our services i recommend to do reindex)
Virustotal report ► https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/ac20a52e74188ca6ed56c54bcc342ae17b9236e137a1a3bd433c552f1b60c09b/analysis/1451348780/ Ivugeo team wishes you ►Happy New Year!◄ Have a good mood!
The coming year will present many positive surprises together with our coin!
Sincerely, Ivugeo Team Just came across this wonderful coin a couple of days ago. Very glad it made it through its troubles. |
