I am looking at buying a USB miner, not to make profit but just for the fun, since they are really cheap.
I want to mine some rather infamous coins tho as well, such as blakeCoin or Photon, which use SHA256 hash sums as far as i understand.
So if the USB miner has support for SHA256 do all crypto coins that base upon that work ?

sadly, bitcoin usb miners are not worth it anymore, thereby the idea of mining infamous coins with massive GH/s

Hmm, i can get over 40,000 khhashs in the benchmark
but when i put it to work online, all the hashes are invalid by CPU, so i guess i gotta stick to 700

Heyy there

I am wondering how people are getting sooooo many hashes, i dont understand how one can get GH/s when i get 750kh/s with a 980ti
which of course is nothing against AMD competition, but still , its a really really modern and fast GPU.
And many are saying they get 100Mh/s with a decent CPU, i got an excellent monster cpu that is cooled like a water loving shark beast

I use litecoin mining, and the scrypt mining algo , so that might be why the hash rates are so low, but as far as i know scrypt isnt thaaaat hard at the moment, BitCoin is much harder as people say.

So whats the magic behind big hash rates  ? Special gear ? Diffrent setups ? 10 GPU's ?

Also the second question is how are people getting sooo high hashrates , like 100Mh/s with day to day hardware

The advantage is that your actual profit is proportional to the work you have done
If you solo mine you can be lucky and get like 20 bitcoins in 10 min , if you are rll rll lucky
But chances are you are not, and it could take months before you get bitcoins, which of course are gonna be lots of bitcoins in one go, since you get an entire block for yourself, but its just not worth the risk thesedays. (mining is too difficult nowadays)

So why not work as a group to find blocks, which only takes mintues to solve one then and share the profit equally, everyone gets the money they worked for , but no big risk, since if the block is invalid or solved already, you loose a few minutes , not 3 months

Hey guys

I use a 980ti and CUDA miner , and after long time of hard work with the compiler it did compile and runs smoothly and perfectly
However, it runs for only about 5 minutes, then it crashes "stack smashing detected"

So i look into debug, i see rll rll weird behaviour
There is 24 colums, filled with numbers of the hash rate, but slowly one by one the colums go empyty until, there is no more colum filled and it crashes shortly afterwards
(each labelled at the begining x1 to x24)

It ends with T44x20 , or values close to it
However, if  try to start it with T44x20 or any conf at all, it immediatly crashes

I use no other arguments than the ones for a mining pool and the login for the pool


When starting it gives off data :
1 miner threads started using 'scrypt' algorithm
GPU #0 GeForece GTX 980 Ti with compute capability 5.2
GPU #0 interactive: 1, text-cache: 0 , single-alloc: 0
GPU #0 32 hashes / 4.0 MB per warp
GPU #0 Performing Auto-tuning (Patience)
GPU #0 maximum total warps (BxW) 1434


and then stratum does its magic to get tasks and blocks
