Supported him there already. Even I had problem running it under Win8.1, :-). Nice job, tsiv, first X13, now this.

I am here to support tsiv to get the bounty he deserves.

I had problem running his version on Windows,  and haven't try Linux yet. But I heard others says it is working.

Claymore's miner takes 5% tax, and Chris' miner is not released yet (although I believe it is way faster), at this point, tsiv is the only one that open sourced the code and help the community.

Give him the bounty, please.

I started about Jan in LTE/DOGE rush, and graphic cards are very expensive around that time because of shortage. I got my two AMD 7950 Saphhire cards for about 600USD each at that time... those two cards are just laying on the bench now.  Then got four MSI 290x cards.  Then 25 750Tis.... I love 750Tis!!!  Then ASCI minders -- had one AnitMiner that was dead last weekend and in negotiation with the vendor now.  I stopped after my wife call me crazy, LOL.

The thing is that, I have other things to do, busy at work, etc.  So I don't have time to always pay attention to the miners.  Sometimes miners dead and I don't know too much about -- I had some monitoring script written but sometime it is kernel crash.  Mined with DOGE and be a true believer of that coin and community for long time -- still haven't sell any DOGE yet, and even bought some to support the community, but look at its market price, I may change my mind half a year later, .  I was fooled around by many new scam coins as a newbie, and mined quite some of them which worth nothing now.  So these days I switched to IPO coins and follow ccminer's path.  But my problem is that, don't have energy to follow all those coins price and almost always miss the time to dump.  Bet on MaruCoin (first X13) now it is dead,  bet on HVC (since someone swear they will 'hold like a boss', LOL) and now it is worthless.  Only exception is that, I think I missed the time to dump JPC -- and don't know abut its price start climbing.  I haven't follow the JPC ANN on daily basis and missed the wallet upgrade (they said will fork at block 6000, so I kept the old wallet) and work on a wrong fork for about a week! Well, I still have 13M JPC at hand, which may be the only bright spot so far, LOL. So mining for profit needs lots of energy and dedication, . 

To confess, I now mine VirtCoin now. Old coin, but I like the dev team. Not profitable, but ok, I feel safer there.

Now I adapted to the game and after being educated by scam coins, :-).  I do believe what Chris did is right,  for most of IPO coins, dump at high price is the right approach.  Multipool exists for a reason --  scram coins feed them. But most important of all, i now stopped dreaming and start appreciate the technical fun I had in this journey.  Still remember days to manually flash BIOS, etc.  I am a software not hardware guy, but building rigs from scratch is some interesting experience -- yeah, I almost burned one card, LOL. 

In the future, may be more interested in GPU programming and crypto world. Checked out the git repository of bitcoin, and may want to take a look at source level when I find some time later.   And may use those rigs for 3D stuff when i am not mining in the future.

As I said, not mining purely for profit now makes me more relaxed and appreciate the experience itself. Yep, expensive tech toys, I know.

My experience show the opposite opinion. I don't have 280, but I have 7950 and 290x. I don't bother attaching KillAWatt meter to 750Ti -- just feel the temperature and you know it is not burning. No external fans, no noise, I am super happy so far, even I did not make ROI so far on 750Tis -- I haven't made ROI on any cards yet, but mining itself is fun. 

No one really contacted me for RMA as far I can tell.  After about a month now, I'm still waiting for the Engineer Team's feedback, after customer service department redirects me there -- I followed the instructions like firmly press all boards down, make sure all connectors are secured, and upgraded to specific version of firmware, and the server is located in a room with AC, temp range around 70F/20C, no luck, still no full 1TH/s speed.  So my miner was running over a month under normal hashrate -- it dropped again from even 850Mh/s and even hit 500Gh/s soemtimes (to be fair, average out, it may be around 700Gh/s), and more and more "xxxxx" shows up while one fan (#4) has way higher speed than others.  I understand you guys have very busy schedule and try to be understandable and patient as much as I can.

Until this weekend -- when I check the hashrate again, it dropped to 0 -- I noticed that since fan became quiet for the first time. When I check my online hashrate, it is not really 0 Gh/s, it is about 62Mh/s (60 min average from slush's pool).  I then reboot the server via web interface, and this time, it shows 0, and no statistics at all, all sections in the miner status page is just blank with no data for each board at all. Then I have no choice but shutdown the server and go with cold reboot via power on/off button,  and this time, it even worse,  the box cannot even operate. I cannot even connect to the web interface, cannot ping the IP address (static ip) -- I tested the Ethernet line with my laptop, it is working, so no connection issue at all.  I repeated the normal troubleshoot tricks like open box and press boards, etc,  not work at all. When I power on, I can hear the fan running, and that's it, not really start hashing -- web interface not available, it seems that the Linux os messed up and not even init the ethernet.

So basically, the box is completely dead now, and I do need your help to get further troubleshoot tips or go with RMA solutions.

I think that's the only algo that may make sense to power up AMD rigs - to confess, I have 4 AMD cards on X13 on and off, but solo mining is almost impossible for any coins after may be just a day.  Just think about how many AMD whales in the market. But X13 soon becomes another X11, new coins are launched every week or even on a daily basis.  I bet big on Maru before, but it seems almost dead now, unless someone picked up like SummerCoin V2.

And if you think it different way, those X13 will lure most AMD cards over there, and leave other NVIDIA coins alone...

Well, nothing is too profitable at this point. I even had some 750Tis shut down.

It is still possible with weak CPUs, but it may not worthy of at least one day of solo mining.  And it took forever to sync if you are unlucky like me -- it took me 2 - 3 hours to jut get synced with proper addnodes settings. Someone (don't know if dev or botnet) is reported to have 1000+ CPUs on this coin at launch, so leftover from that whale is not easy to collect for us...  And people report to have smaller and smaller block and then dev said it is expected. So 50 per block is just theoretical max block award, they are almost all collected by the whales, and now net hash is up and you can get maybe 15 - 16 per block.

And I kinda of doubt in the fairness of PoB as well, although they seems interesting from the white paper. Early burners from those whales had huge advantages.  I tried to burn 5 coins and so far it did not get anything back, so I stopped burning -- it is very hard to find some coins, I don't want to burn all of them out. Some one said a PoB pool will be setup later, but I guess that may be 1-2 months from now, and I may start burning around that time.

Don't know if there's some scam here. If everyone is burning, then the supply of the coin is limited and value will rise up quickly, and those who decide not burn but hold lots of coins at hand may dump all of them and drive the price low enough and then may be buy them back again.... just my guess.  For now, I will hold my coins -- just had very few coins,  even I burn all of them won't make much differences. 

Can anyone share other working "addnode" IPs? Thanks.

I had the same conf and same problem.... cannot sync, still waiting, :-(.

Now I can see another coin with potential being ruined.... by DEV.

So C&C means "Classic & Cool"? Yah!!!

I don't know how many of you guys jumped on Maru now... I was happily enjoy the difficulty of 6, and start solo again, and all of sudden, the difficulty rise up to 13 and keep going... LOL.

Anyway, happy mining and enjoy, :-).

I was late to the coin as well.  I did not bother CPU mining, and only after sgminer start supporting it, I think it was time to redirect my 290x to them -- at that time Hirocoin difficulty was high already (I missed Darkcoin and decide to give X11 a try, and Hirocoin seems ok among others).   So far I think it is still minable.   As I said,  I personally don't think it is technically hard for FPGA or x11 multipools to attack them -- but there are other x11 easy targets, so before they are bored at x11, and before x13 (or x14...x100, whatever) become new targets of those sharks, I think it can still give us some quiet mining time.... for now.   As it was said, you don't have to run faster than the bears, just run faster than your friends...., x11 is the meat now, and I decide to go x13 for now since the difficulty is still acceptable --- with pools at least, I did two days solo mine and then feel uncomfortable when it took longer and longer to solo mine while difficulty start rising, then I go with pool. So far, I think pool mining still works fine.

Well..... I haven't cared about my 290x for some time (amateur miner, don't have time to keep my eyes on rigs all time and keep track of all coins). So when I reply this, I checked my 290x states, and find I get quite more coins recently. And the difficulty is just 6 now!!!  I will switch to solo tonight again, :-).  It is kinda of like new release now... I may mine the alternative x13 coins you mentioned when it is launched, for a couple of days solo, but now I will stick w/ Maru. 

Don't hit it too hard and get the difficulty up too much... don't force me to pool mining again, LOL. Just kidding.

Amazing work, Chris! May check my 290x and see how it goes on x11 tonight.

Now I still mine Marucoin with 290x, and it has about 1.67Mh/s, but that's X13 -- via sgminer.  I haven't OC my MSI card too much. I already hate the generated heat!  My wife's said "I wish you throw them away and just go with those newer ones" --- the newer ones are all 750Tis.

And I have two Sapphire 7950s just idle around and getting dust these days. They were my first attempts to DOGE mining back to Jan... and got some 4th generation one, even after flashing BIOS, they do not perform that well... they leave the PCIE slots to 750Tis now...

I promised that I won't buy any cards any more.... if I do, I may get some 880 at Christmas time, LOL.


 

You guys can still mine Marucoins --- I did with my AMD 290x in the past.  But now their difficulty is still very low, so it is still minable if you have AMD cards. Otherwise, wait for cc 1.1, maybe, :-). I checked the site that dev team is trying to redo the logo, etc. So seems it is still in active development now.  The main argument here is that, when everyone goes for X11, and rumors about FPGA farms and x11 multipool hanging around the corner, the additional 2 algorithms will temporarily make them safer for GPU miners -- at least for short period of time.

When possible, mine coins that first implement some algorithm, they have higher chance of success in the future.  That's the reason I mined some Maru, and not sell it yet.  Same reason I still hold my HVC even the price crashed... (well, to confess, I also mined two days of MNR). Maybe DOGE is an exception here. I still love that community, and believe it may have some chance to take off... maybe even brighter future than LTC.

Given that, I personally would suggest mine some alternative coins with even temp 'additional' protection.  Be it x13, x14,  x15.... x100...
   

Try to answer but the system says I cannot post within 5 min.

Mine is slightly different, my wallet sync just fine, so I did not addnode manually. And I have maxconnection set to control connections to peers. That's it. 

One reminder is that, sometimes some wallet may not allow trigger windows firewall rule creation and you need to manually enable that if you cannot connect from another machine to your wallet but local connection works fine. I had such issue once.

As to ColorCoin, I only had 2 750Tis in solo mining, so far just has 1 block found.  I was late to the game when it was launched about 1 hour. And don't want to allocate too much resource.

I kinda like Quark algo mining after 0.9 release,  my miner processes seems more stable and less crashing (mainly because I may OC too much... sometimes it crashed say 10 hours later after I tuned OC settings).  I missed HVC much and hope they can recover... Summer is coming....

Just find out that in Talkcoin chat, if you click the "B" for bold text by mistake, then it will cost you 10 TAC instead of 1. Normal chat just 1 TAC. Find it the hard way....LOL.  Stopped mining TAC after about 500 coins, it should cover the chatting for a while...  

Just out of curiosity, I stopped my other coins mining rigs and dedicated 6 750Ti for X11 -- the new Colorcoin mining for 5 minutes.  Without any OC, I do see the average hashrate per card is around 1400Kh/s.  I have 2 cards on another machine mining for Colorcoin-- but they can mine around 1550Kh/s easily.  May stop that as well.  So far just have one block found since I haven't put too much resource on it. I personally feel it is another scam coin and don't want to bet on it.  It may not make the way to some decent exchange.

Cannot answer the profit question. Given the recent FPGA rumors, I guess you may have better odds when go with new X11 coins.

And I just followed Chris' call on Colorcoin. Again, I am late .... when I get there, it was just about 1hour after launch and difficulty was 22 already. Put 2 750Tis on solo, each around 1.5M without OC. Haven't seen any block yet. May allocate more cards there later but I don't see the potential of this coin yet.  Had mined Hirocoin with 290x in the past, but stopped that long time ago.  We'll see how x11 coins goes.  Now days all scrypt coins looks like "scam coins"... but look at numbers of x11 clones, I feel that it may fit in that category pretty soon. Maybe some devs with powerful FPGA just doing the scam pump and dump now. If you can ride the train and dump before them, you may make some profit.

As to Jackpot, I am surprised there are still so many people mines on it. May give it another try. I did not update the wallet in time and wasted quite some time on the wrong branch --- even at that time it was not even close to 6000 block forking yet.  I then stopped mining after wasted a couple of days. May consider switch back... :-).
