Beauty! That's really promising!
Do all the FTWs get to 1360ish with no voltage/bios mod?

Damn I wish I had grabbed 3 of those for myself...
I might just do that on monday if there are any left.

Thanks. Yes, all 7 are 3d stable into the upper 1300s megahertz. Four of them have 1332mhz boost clocks, two have 1345mhz, and one is 1319mhz. Voltage varied from 1.137 to 1.174v. The stock +35% power target increase is enough to not perf. cap them on power.

Three seemed to be 3d stable at 1.4ghz with the best going up to 1.44ghz at only 1.137v.

I didn't individually check the memory overclocks which are actually more important for performance. At least one in my system doesn't like +600 so I've been using +550 for now.

The systems cost comes out to $1,542 or 1.22 Kh/USD. 4gb and a smaller psu would have saved a little but I want my smaller gpu rigs to be ready to add another 1000w psu and be able to run six beefier cards in the future. If its still economical to do so.

Here are my initial results with six 750 Ti FTWs at +40 core (1360-80mhz-ish) and +550 memory.



81w idle and 547w mining scrypt. 3.46 K/hash per watt.

Powered usb 3.0 risers, MSI Z77A-GD65, 1000w Raidmax gold psu.

I tried to use 7 cards but my system won't even post with it physically plugged into in the last slot.

Overall, a nice inexpensive upgrade from my three 670s. The default 42% fan speed noise level is ridiculous though.

I have a 750 Ti FTW at 1363mhz core (+40) and 1600mhz memory (+500) with these results:

330 K/hs scrypt (-H 1 -l T5x24)
37w idle
120w load

The other components are: 450w gold, G1610, Asrock extreme4, 2x 4gb 1.5v, 80gb ssd, gigabit link, usb bt m/kb, on 120v.

I can also confirm the bios has a built in 35% power limit increase like advertised. It shows a 52w "TDP" value instead of the default 38.5w. With this +35%, the card is more voltage cap limited than power limited. I haven't been able to get 1.2v modded like StayPuftOCN did with his Asus card. My 750 Ti FTW uses 1.15 volts and it isn't 1.4ghz 3d stable.  Cry

Arrrgh. This sucks. Can't get GPU-Z to pull my BIOS image off my card. Keeps crashing the program.
Do it in dos with the provided nvflash.exe. Worked for my 750 ti ftw, which doesn't really need more power limit though since it's vOP (operating voltage) limited in all cases as is.

Only users with Linux and who were able to compile the wallet on their own were able to participate in the launch, how is that fair, let alone one of the fairest initial distributions ever?

The windows and os x wallets were posted before the launch. I got some blocks in the first minute while running the windows wallet so I don't understand why I keep seeing this claimed?

those whales on mcxnox keeping the prices up as much as possible so they can sell all their instamined coins at high prices during this time  Roll Eyes

There was only like 50 blocks in the first minute. Also, I think we were a little over block 200 after the first hour so the initial rush added less than an hours worth of coins.

finally mining! only 140mh on a 780 though?

EDIT: only 70% usage?

Are you running the wallet on the pc you're mining on? That really hurt my utilization when I tried that momentarily.

I'm not sure if it was posted in here but here's a link to a post with some commands to check your wallet's balance and other network information.

So when it says accepted 30/32 (yay!!) that means we found a block? and does that also mean we got 96 coins?

Yes, unless it ends up an orphan.

I should go buy a lottery ticket.... thanks Christian!

Can anyone repost updated stats that show the breakdown of wallets that own large number of VTC? (or give me the link to see that info)  The last one I saw was several days ago, and I would love to see the distribution now that the roller coaster ride is almost over.
Earlier today someone posted this update:

the thing is, there is supposed to be 84 million coins and there is only 1.5 million so far

this coin will be heavy to maintain
It is no heavier than Litecoin is today. We get 28800 new coins a day at $5 per coin, yielding $144k daily coin maintenance cost. This is currently 1/5 the maintenance rate of Litecoin.  VTC is the heir apparent, so attracting new funds away from other coins e.g. DOGE (lol) should not be an issue.
 
 

Errm, 1/5 the maintenance of Litecoin with less than 1/50th the market cap?
12  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][VTC] Vertcoin - Adaptive N-factor in Scrypt - No more ASICs on: February 05, 2014, 05:47:55 PM
This.  Looking at the code, that's part of the reason hash rates are half of what normal scrypt coins get.  When the next Nfactor tick kicks in, hash rates will cut in half again.

Worse yet, when that next Nfactor tick hits, all of those currently working settings that everybody has optimized for all their cards will start killing cards like the normal scrypt settings are for the current Nfactor.

Sure, it's ASIC-proof, but it'll end up being GPU-proof in just a tick or two as well.

Yaccoin is still faster using cudaminer and its already using the n-factor (32768) that Vercoin will be on in 2022.
13  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][VTC] Vertcoin - Adaptive N-factor in Scrypt - No more ASICs on: February 05, 2014, 12:00:02 PM
Is there any way to mine this thing with 3-4gpu on a single mobo?  I have 3 gpus atm.. Anyhow i try, 1 gpu is off and only 2 works.

I had to go from 4gb to 8gb of RAM to get my 4th gpu to work. But you probably have 4gb already so I don't know...
14  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][VTC] Vertcoin - Adaptive N-factor in Scrypt - No more ASICs on: February 05, 2014, 11:14:31 AM
There's one like that on my pool too. Had over 100k KH/s earlier for an estimated 1300 coins a day.

15  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner - a new litecoin mining application [Windows/Linux] on: January 31, 2014, 04:02:42 AM
Could someone remind me what the -m 0 and -m 1, and -H 0, 1, and 2 switches do? I'm finding it difficult to search for single letters.
From the readme:

"--single-memory  [-m] list of flags (0 or 1) to make the devices
                 allocate their scrypt scratchpad in a single,
                 consecutive memory block. On Windows Vista, 7/8
                 this may lead to a smaller memory size being used.
                 When using the texture cache this option is implied."

"--hash-parallel  [-H] scrypt also has a small SHA256 component to it:
                      0 hashes this single threaded on the CPU.
                      1 to enable multithreaded hashing on the CPU.
                      2 offloads everything to the GPU (default)"

I have the most efficient results with m1 and h2 with my 780 ti in windows.

Using the Z kernel I just broke 900 khash/s with a water cooled 780 TI. This kernel ended up being 11% faster than the 12-18 releases T kernel. I had to use -H 1 for the extra 8 hashes over -H 2, at the cost of 25w. A terrible trade, but it put me over 900. Cheesy

N-factor 9 Microcoin is running at @ 834 khash/s. That's a much smaller loss than a R9 290 takes. They are now yielding 666 vs 880 on scrypt. The memory overclock actually helps on Microcoin, but it isn't an efficient trade. 8~ hashes for 8~ watts. Also, solo mining MRC was terrible for me in the few hours I tried it. I had several times better results in the blocksolved pool.
