Fire n Forget - you just need your bitcoin address.

I really do hope Clevermining doesn't go the way of Middlecoin where the mining operator just goes AWOL and leaves people (and their btc) hanging.     

I love buckets, APIs, and C#  

I'm about to fork this bad boy and see just how extensible the code is.  

Edit #3 is certainly something that would be useful for me personally, but also for just about anyone else out there who is mining and who wants to ensure nominal hash rates. If done correctly, this type of reporting could minimize the effort required to maintain a 'hardware compendium' of sorts (think back to the original LTC Hardware Mining Compendium page).  Great help to miners, but PITA to use and maintain.

Then again, this is definitely a 'nice to have.'

The reporting "module" if you will is certainly out of scope with the pure function of this app, which is to mine.  It does this primary function well, and is the reason why i even bothered to post in this thread about it.  The app's mining capability must be maintained at all costs.

However:
I do wonder how easy(? - may be difficult!) it would be to simply grab those scores after the benchmark(s) are run and cart them off to some online spreadsheet along with the configuration existing at the time.  The 'compendium' page would be view only, and writeable only by the reporting mechanisms used by the mining app.

To the whiteboard! 

Easily the niftiest little auto-miner i've seen yet.  Downloaded it, fired it up, worked immediately.  (R9 290 + Latest Omegas)

Also going to use it to test out 4-5 card rigs.

Great job Nicehash, i hope you make some $$$ on this one.  You're saving some serious headache.


Edit - Would like to see an "ez donate" button like you see with the PayPal button. This is the kind of software that i donate some coin on due to its usability.

Edit2 - Would also like to the rate in mhs BTC/day or ghs BTC /day as opposed to just BTC/day.  I can assume that it's GHs/BTC/day, but can't be 100% certain.

Edit3 - Would also be quite awesome if there was a way to upload benchmark numbers to some sort of global online number set so you could look and see where you stand (and if your config needs tweaking!)

Yes - the 390 is a 290 (architecture-wise).

100k premine?  No thanks.

Ah, the MSI Z77A-GD55.  

That's a classic.  I never could get it in stock so i always settled for the -G45.

Excellent board!

I know this is effectively a necrobump reply, but this question never got answered.

I woudn't expect Claymore to forget about his/this miner, but he certainly has no reason to continue maintaining it for newer cards given XPM's complete deadness.

That being said, Claymore is a hell of a dev so he probably woudn't need much time at all to bring this miner up to date for the Fury cards if XPM somehow resurrected itself from the grave one of these days.

Good board candidates for 5+ cards are the Asrock H61s/81s (Intel), the MSI Z77A-G45 (Intel), Asrock 970 Extreme4 (AMD), Asus M5A97 (AMD), and Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3 (AMD). I used all of these boards in my farm a while back and can do 5+ cards.

  

The creators got served with papers.

Exchanges got served too.

Ain't noone got time to put themselves in court. 

Always go all powered. 

Yes, you say - all powered risers is overkill and technically not necessary - but the cost diff. between a powered vs. non-powered riser is minimal, so why take the chance with non-powered risers?

Who the hell tests or "tweaks" a portion of their product on production servers/stuff?

I hope this guy sits in a cell next to Bernie Madoff for the rest of his years.  What a liar.

You and your anarchist/xtreme libertarian friends are next. 

Bitcoin, its technology, and its useful benefits to society are not yours nor will they ever be.

Yep, and then you'll see Bitcoin being the 'fiat' and some form of new system touted as the answer.

There is no escaping manipulation in a truly zero strings attached "free" market system - in fact, as you alude to - it's guaranteed.  For this simple fact, you need a control element inside that "free market system" which at most mitigates most of the instability created by these manipulating agents.  Banks should not that entity, and if governments is/are going to put it under their jurisdiction they need employ tools that are as generic and corruption-resistant as possible...but because people form governments and greed is an inherent disease inside mankind's basic nature - there is no reality where manipulation will not occur.  

It's just flawed because humans are flawed.

Not when the algo he/she is attempting to mine is CPU-only.  

Your original comment (and Don007's) are out of scope of the OPs question and frankly derailing the original intent of the thread.  The OP asked for input about the bang for buck on Haswel-based CPUs.  The OP did not ask for anything else.  If he/she is making a decision to put up some CPU rigs, then he is likely past the profitability considerations.

Some people do not pay for electricity...or their kw/h charge is so low that some form of hashing is possible. 

OP,
The unlocked i5s would be the best bank for your buck here.  A 4690K is ~$230ish, and should produce near to what the i7s with their HT enabled hash rates would.

Edit:  Relevant article on Haswell undervolting.

Why is Scrypt performance not on that list? 

Doesn't necessarily matter that GPUs aren't good for scrypt anymore, but moreso because scrypt performance is/was a pretty good baseline indicator of hashing chops between various cards.

280 could do ~600-700khs (unless you had one of those Gigabyte WF3 supercards )
280x could do 710-760khs
290/x could do 800-1000khs

This fellow/company may indeed have built a miner, but the problem is supplying the demand.  

People put in hundreds of units on pre-orders, and all of the sudden it goes BFL in no time because the company doesn't have the supply chain / manufacturing capacity.  The fact these guys use an existing Scrypt chip is nice and likely means they do indeed have (a) working unit(s), but that doesn't mean at all they can actually deliver their product. 

Them going cloud mining is a sign of inability to deliver actual units to customers.  Watch out!
