1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Service Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Whattomine - profitability website with basic json. on: January 10, 2018, 01:50:46 AM
Greetings Fredeq,

I was using the main page on the site that shows profitability for coins based on selected cards/hashrates.  However, I noticed recently that a few popular algorithms are not available on the main page  (XVG Verge - X17, for one), but they could be found on the coins page individually.  This got me digging around for API information so I could include these other algorithms in my search.  It looks like I could use the Calculators.json, and then look up coin stats individually by id number. 

Issue 1.  I'm waiting 2 seconds between requests, so that should be 30 rpm.  Still getting banned. 

Issue 2.  Am I even allowed to do this?  I read in your policy terms:
"The visitors are forbidden to use the WhatToMine APIs for any application that replicates or attempts to replace the essential user experience of whattomine.com. Abuse of the API service may result in a ban from the whole website."  What would the API be used for if not to make similar functionality?  I know people are using these in multi algo mining bots.  Can you outline what acceptable uses are?

I realize you make money through ads, and need people to visit the site in order to make it profitable for you.  I wouldn't be doing any of this if all the algorithms were supported on the main page.  I don't mind limiting my query to only algorithms not already present on the main page.  I just can't spend the time going through every coin manually that's not present there.

Thanks.



1. There must be a glitch in your code somewhere making multiple requests faster.

2. You are allowed to use the json for scripts and bots, but not to replicate the website.
You can just call calculators.json like once a day to check for new coins. Then call directly the coins that are not listed on the main list.
Thats perfectly sound and you can read each coin stat every 3 minutes, no need to do it more frequently.

That works for me.  I plan to just check daily, and I'll only check coins not listed on main.  Thanks a lot.

3  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] ccminer 2.2.2 - opensource - GPL (tpruvot) on: December 11, 2017, 07:35:09 AM

Hello.  I'm trying to mine monacoin on suprnova with 3x1080ti using 1x-16x (ext power) risers.  Compiled tpruvot/ccminer 2.2.2 okay, on debian 9, CUDA 8, gcc 4.9. 

For some reason ccminer is working okay if I only use 2 1080ti's and no risers.  But once I add risers in it stops working.  Oddly enough, I can still run --benchmark, and it runs all algorithms okay with the risers.

I've tried stock Makefile.am and Makefile.am using the 1080 cuda arch.  I tried lowering intensity and pwlimit.  Debug output is not giving me much to go off of.

Any ideas on what's going on.  Things I might try?  Thanks

Code:
brownj@miner01:~/miner/monacoin$ ./ccminer -D -o stratum+tcp://mona.suprnova.cc:2995 -k lyra2v2 -u user.miner1 -p password
