1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Speculation (Altcoins) / Re: [AEON] Aeon Speculation on: November 02, 2017, 03:39:20 PM
These new accounts hyping Aeon in the thread might mean two things. That they are farmed accounts trying to increase their activity in the forum or they are the people who bought at 40k satoshis and above and are now presently bagholding.

Welcome to Aeon.


Hope you're not throwing me in that pile. I'm a casual bitcointalk user and don't really ever get on here because a) most of what is on bitcointalk is bullshit and/or futile pump and dump and b) When I do get semi-excited about a coin I want to get reactions to it.

I mostly stopped mining because I felt the price cratered too much and the solo mining stratum server has issues... I was pushing 105-115KH and I would go 48 hours without a block at times... which seemed REALLY fishy to me. Plus Snipa22 released the aeon updates to xmr-node-proxy so I'll be using that going forward, probably.

I don't think the price evisceration is warranted though I do hear a lot of folks upset about what they feel is a lack of dev transparency (though I don't agree... I just think people are pissed because they want the rebase done yesterday and are otherwise impatient).

I think someone made a point about when Monero was at much lower prices... I've been mining since mid 2016 and remember when XMR was floating around the $10 range. Things change, markets grow and I feel like the entire crypto space is growing, will grow exponentially, and Aeon will grow with it.

It just takes a lot of patience and the will to stomach the volatility (especially in the case of Aeon).

i think that this coin really have a future, only because its from monero project
so the monero big ivnestors , are invested in this one also

I wouldn't say "only" ... the ideas at the center of it, I think, are why it will succeed. Monero is a different coin because of its basis on a different (but similar) set of ideas. Think ubuntu vs redhat etc etc

My experience:

For XMR cpu mining is far and away more profitable in large part due to stability. GPU mining had the benefit of flexibility in that you can switch coins; however, CPU mining has the stability rivaling an ASICS. My 32 cpu opteron c7000 blade chassis has been running 24/7 under max load since August 2016. Zero crashes. My GPU rigs I restart weekly.



Hi,
I'm new to mining. Can you please help me setup mining rig?

I've bought HP DX 2400MT with some Core 2 DUO CPU... When it arrive I will check it, I want 45nm CPU for better cooling.
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/doc/public/display?docId=emr_na-c01399523
  • CPU: 45nm Core 2 DUO or maybe QUAD
  • RAM: It has 4GB, do I need more?
  • HDD: 320GB
  • GPU: I'm trying to buy HD 7850, R9 270x and cheap 7770 for start.
    My plan is to change them after, to at least 3x 7850 or better.
  • PSU: It has 300w, but I want buy new Zalman ZM700-LX
    Is this enough for 3x 7850 or 3x R9 270x?
  • Cooling: I have some 12cm Arctic fans.
    Also I don't know what is CPU cooler, so I will buy some old heatsink if it's not good.
    I'm trying to buy some OC cards with better cooling than reference, I will only put some Arctic MX2 on it, maybe MX4 for the more powerful ones.
  • OS: It has Win 7 64bit, is it good or update to Win 10?
  • Mining SW: Claymore? I'm using now XMR Stak NVIDIA there is also AMD version, will try anyway.

Will the PSU be enough? Any advices for me?
Is USB 3.0 power riser good or should I use ribbon?
I'm mining with 860m on my laptop now on Minergate XMR+FCN and also with this rig I want too, any advices?

Thank you for any help Smiley

maybe like this?

https://github.com/kost/nheqminer

got it working with Dual Xeon L5640

what hash rate are you getting with that dual L5640?
6  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / ZEC mining with Dual Opteron 6276 + 8gb DDR3 1333 ... 20 sol/s that's it? on: November 02, 2016, 03:13:34 AM
Hey guys hopefully you all can shed some light on what I'm doing wrong here... I'm running the latest Lubuntu release on KOST nheqminer and getting 20 sol/s on a dual opteron 6276 with 8gb DDR3 1333

I've seen quad core boxes getting 45 sol/s and I'm at 10 per CPU (20 total)? Are the AMD processors just that bad or something?

It's defaulting to 12 threads so that tells me that it does take multiple CPU's

also of note, I've got this running on numerous dual 16-core opteron setups and it takes those like a champ... 900H/s

Each CPU can run 12 threads (6 cores hypertthreaded) so it appears you are only using one CPU. With both CPUs it should default
to 24.

interesting.... am I missing something when I compile i wonder? I figured it would automatically pick up the other CPU?

I have no experience with multi CPU configs. You should check your BIOS and OS to make sure everything is setup correctly and make
sure both CPUs are being used. Check the system monitor or whatever tools you have. It should all be transparent to the miner SW.

Adjusting ACPI options in the BIOS did it - running around 350H/s (better, but still a good deal under what I was hoping for... 400+ at least.

I have dual L5640 Wesmere processors (dual 6 core = 24 thread) and I get horrible performance no matter which exe I use... or even running via Linux, 100 h/s is about all I get. Is there a bug or something I'm missing?

Try it with 6 threads per cpu, that should better fit the L3 cache and make sure the miner recongnizes AES.
Otherwise I need a lot more info.

Are there any debug logs or anything like that I can retrieve? any parameters I can add, when launching, to get additional debug info ?

You mean like a console session? Why haven't you posted that yet? There's a lot of good info displayed when the miner starts up,
it should be obvious to post that as a minimum when asking a question.

OK got some info - also, the result is no different in v3.4.7

edit: Also a note about config... these results were compiled with march=westmere -O3 ; trying other variations doesn't do much +/- a few percentage points (march=native, -O2,1,fast etc..)

Just a note about this - I was reading about this issue a number of days ago and someone mentioned that AES may not actually be enabled even though it says that it is? I just can't imagine that dual 6-core L5640 processors would perform like this without something being wrong. I tried doling things out via numactl and that didn't have any impact to speak of.

Good data. It appears only 1 CPU is mining (there are 2 right?), it doesn't look like the miner supports multiple CPUs.
Other than that everyting looks fine, you get higher hashrate with 6 cores vs 8.

For cryptonight the optimum thread count is (L3 cache size in MB / 2).

Edit: What's the default thread count, does it represent both CPUs?


It's defaulting to 12 threads so that tells me that it does take multiple CPU's

also of note, I've got this running on numerous dual 16-core opteron setups and it takes those like a champ... 900H/s
