Would anyone have proper launch settings for 750ti (and/or also 770), for script-jane at nfactor11?
I suspect these have been posted already, but having no luck going through the forum search...
I'm currently doing about 58kh/s on each card, but I have no clue if this is far off, or good, or what...
My launch settings (K for the 770, T for the 750ti):
cudaminer.exe -a scrypt-jane:CACH -o stratum+tcp://somepool:someport -u someuser -p somepassword -i 0 -L 2 -l K96x2,T5x16
I got these from a couple of autotunes that would most times crash before it was done, and I ran autotune separately for one card at a time.
Cheers,
Myagui

We reached 50000 votes on MintPal. Bitcoinscrypt and iXcoin watch out, Zeitcoin is coming.
What is also interesting, is that all 3 coins ranking higher in the votes, have a much larger pay-vote count. If not for the extra BTC votes on these coins, ZEIT would be on the top of the list. Dunno if it's a good or a bad thing at this time though. Cheers, Myagui |

Riecoin GPU miner update:
RIC mining performance is disappointing - Nvidia's GTX 780 Ti is only 3x faster than Intel's Core i7-4770K. But the Ti is 8x faster than the 4770K when used for XPM mining, so there is still hope. Apparently, Nvidia's compiler still works best with small kernels. Modular multiplication for XPM and RIC uses 12 and 42 machine words respectively on the GPU device. The next step will be to write smaller kernels for the RIC core, but I will not be able to get back to this hobby for at about a month from now.
It would be interesting to find out the difference in performance for a RIC core between a GTX 780 Ti and a Radeon 290x. I have reason to belief that the GTX 780 Ti's performance should far exceed that of the 290x. But without an optimized RIC core for the 290x, it will be difficult to tell by how much. Hopefully someone who has excellent OpenCL programming skills can provide to us performance figures for the 290x .
Sorry for the typos, my smart phone screen is small.
Awesome stuff. Any chance you'd want a beta tester with GTX 750 TI? Also got a 770, will be happy to try it out on both! Cheers, Myagui |

Hi gents,
Who could point me towards the windows wallet? The dropbox link in the OP is down due to excessive traffic :S
Thanks

I've been looking into the newly released HeavyCoin, which uses 4 well known hash functions
(SHA-256, Keccak-512, Grĝestl-512, BLAKE-512) plus a new one called HEFTY1
They claim it's CPU only, which I might actually put to the test.
Christin
Yes please!!! While the hype and timings are not comparable, the earnings could just remotely resemble the Max launch (oh, what a night)... Cheers, Myagui |

Wondering if there's any progress on a GPU miner Gatra?
I've been around since the launch, but with very limited CPU power, all I could manage was to mine some 5 RIC with YPool, but have since stopped as I'm not happy to see so much of the network hash rate on a single pool. It looks to me that the only way to reach "record breaking" numbers, is by a) largely expanding the network hash rate and b) achieving greater mining efficiency.
I do have a few GPUs that I could put to use for RIC, all Nvidia, some of the 750 variety which should have boosted performance with large integers (not that I know anything about these details)...
DGA, are you focusing entirely on CPU miner optimizations for the time being?
Thanks for any feedback guys. Really want to participate on RIC given the *real world value* this coin brings to the table, but just don't seem to have the resources at the moment...
Cheers,
Myagui

Guys, Expecting TZM Global to "endorse" a particular cryptocurrency, is the same as aligning the TZM Global ranks with those of any government over a given traditional currency. This would be plain wrong (given the goals of the TZM), and does not mean in any way that ZeitCoin is domed to fail or even the other way around. What we should focus on: establishing ZeitCoin as a means to trade amongst those that want an alternative to the traditional markets (bank & politics controlled, etc). The particular emphasis should be on the supporters of the TZM, because the same general principles have given birth to this coin. We need to keep it fair, accessible to all, and focus on the value of the open source concurrency as *one step forward* with making traditional currency obsolete. Those looking to make a quick buck on mining/trading ZeitCoin should definitely look elsewhere, as the main support group here (and the reasoning exposed on the dev announcement), is to create a long term and community backed currency, and not another pump & dump show. I am currently mining with modest hash rate, and buying some, using less relevant cryptos at the exchange. Will be happy to donate/share to individuals *outside* of the cryptocurrency community, as a way to get more people involved and debating on the merits of an open currency. PS: Have a great time at ZDAY, make sure you keep the tone positive, and engage as many people as you can into considering what measures the movement can engage with *today*, to move away from the traditional currency methods/abusers/etc. This is what I see that ZeitCoin can offer!  Cheers, Myagui I understand what you are saying, but to accomplish an eco-system, you need to have a community and investors. The zeitgeist movement was and is the only option. Otherwise Zeitcoin is just another cryptocoin. If this doesn't change and you don't get any investors on your side, this coin will slowly die. I'm still hoping that it will be different (haven't sold any coin). I'm with you. I'm not saying we would be successful without any traders/investors, but certainly not the dump & pump type as those just damage most coins ecosystems anyway. Also getting Zeitcoin across to the zeitgest movement is certainly critical, but I just don't see that TZM Global is representative of the entire movement in all it's capacities, and authoritatively deciding on such matters for all it's members. As someone else said earlier, let's get working from the ground > up. |

Thank you SO MUCH!
Changing just that switch brought the cpu to 10% and hashrate to 265kH/s.
Could you explain what H=2 does?
Also, I installed just nvidia drivers (+nvidia experience) from the cd I got with the card. Should I install something else that could help in your opinion? Some of the MSI programs?
Thanks again!
Super! As long as it's working for you, no need to install anything else. You can certainly have some fun with EVGA's PrecisionX or MSI's Afterburner for some overclocking. My own experience is that memory overclocking is where most gains are, easily doing +600 memory clock. Note that with mining, you probably need also to run a custom fan profile, otherwise you might be frying that card soon (or at minimum, getting performance drops due to thermal throttling). Make sure you try both the x86 and the x64 versions (as long as you have win64 that is...). I'm having better performance on x86 (by about 10kh/s on scrypt), but YMMV. The -H 2 switch moves as much work to the GPU as possible, and relies very little on CPU for mining, thus it gives you the best performance if your bottleneck was the CPU. Happy mining! Cheers, Myagui |

I get a max of 73 kH/s constantly, and my pc is running at 100% CPU usage.
What am I doing wrong? Is the cpu the problem? should i change that? or maybe a different os, like linux, would help?
Thanks for your help!
Have you tried running cudaminer with the -H 2 switch? That should get your CPU usage to go down and the GPU should be getting busy! Cheers, Myagui |

Nope, 9 zeros so 900m. This sounds more like the number of zeit that might be in circulation lol. But i think the above poster is right. The new wallet had said it was up to date but then a minute later it started downloading new blocks and the immature line went away. Now its updated and i only have my initial amount there. Although i was watching the miner and it showed i found a block, showed a ton of rejected and showed 1 found. But maybe out of synch and found old ones like myagui said i guess You can always open the wallet, check 'help' > 'debug window' > 'console' and enter 'listtransactions' (without the quotes). This will list all your wallet activity. All those earlier findings probably turned "orphans" if you were out of sync at the time. Cheers! |

Downloaded the new wallet and there is a new category called Immature. What are these? Right after the new wallet synched i started my solo mine and got a crazy high incoming transaction for about 900m zeit O.o and it went into the immature spot. I didnt actually get that did i? lol
That means you found a block- NICE!! Immature means that you won't see the coins get to your wallet until 50 confirmations. Congrats! Doubtful, got bad blocks as he was likely solo mining into an out-of-sync wallet... Those immature blocks will all disappear by the time he's fully sync'ed... Anyways, keep trying!  |

Hi Christian, Dropping off a link to a gpu miner with a variety of algo support (AMD friendly). As the source is available, perhaps you could find a shortcut into getting new algo's supported in cudaminer, whichever they happen to be... https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0Hm, later realized this is based on sphlib, which might not be anything new for you anyways... http://www.saphir2.com/sphlib/Off I go! Cheers, Myagui |

I will never post pictures again when everybody feels like changing my design Hot air comes out at both ends of the card. About twice as much at the rear though. It is futile to PUSH against it with a fan as it will slow down the outflow of hot air and possibly lead to hot air rebreathing. The only feasible way was to push in cold air from the top, and additionally sucking out some air (a mix of hot & cold) from the front. The fan combo works, no longer am I thermally throttled. This all is moot anyway when my risers get here. Christian I'm convinced that you're seeing the result of forced air from the "wrong locations". Everywhere I read (and my own experience), is that the side where you have the PSU placed, is actually a fan *intake*. Look at how the airflow works in nearly all traditional desktop ATX cases - cold air enters the front of the case, hot air exhausts at the rear of the case. The titan cooler is designed to optimal performance in this specific scenario. If only ... I .. could reach .. that fan, and ... check .. how ... damn, can't reach it... Try it, now I'm obsessing about it! Sorry for being pushy! |

Christian,
Noticed that picture with your triple card setup with a fan on top and the PSU on the rear of the cards.
If I'm seeing it right and those are blower type cards, I have a suggestion for you: maybe try having the fan on the rear of the cards, instead of the PSU, and blowing cold air *into* the cards. I think the "titan" blower cooler design is particularly effective with an airflow that runs from rear to front (in other words, from near the pci-e power connectors into the monitor connectors).
Cheers,
Myagui
hot air comes out the rear end of the cards with the intensity of a 800 Watts blowdryer. The purpose of the fan/PSU combination is to make cool air move in the space between the cards, so the cards fans can pick THAT up and force it through the heat sink. The space is narrow, so the more air I get into the space, the better. The problem is even worse with the 3 ASUS MARS cards. Christian I don't know... the psu seems to sucks air away from the fans of the cards. I would tend to agree with myagui. Put a fan in push where the psu is, and put another fan in pull on top on of the other end of the cards. This way you'll get fresh air circulating between the cards. I think Christian and I refer to different "rear" locations. I just double-checked my 770 (titan cooler also), and it definitely needs to "suck" in cold air from the section near the PCI-e power connectors, and it will "blow" out hot air around the monitor connectors, just the small hairdryer type experience as described. It certainly does *not* blow out hot air at the section nearby the PCIe slots (if it would do that, it would be nearly impossible to work out a case design that would actually work in favor of these cooler designs). The PSU as pictured, is causing a negative air pressure that works against the card's fan. Anyways, looks like a quick test given you have all the parts just laying around freely (living on the edge, heh!). Cheers! |

Lol I hate the new auto correct on my phone. Gpu is glucose for some reason lmao
So when's nvidia coin coming out? Stupid algo that nvidia cards have an advantage on
That would be a smart algo!  |

Anyone would share the launch parameters for GPUCoin mining on a 750 TI? I haven't ever mined a n-factor coin before, so am completely lost and was trying to join that party before it's too late Thanks, Myagui |
