...and patiently compose a haiku.


The B that is an 8
Fuzzy logic softens the head-desk hammers
End is just the Start

Edit:  Ohmmmmm....

Patience!  Especially when one is given something for free.



Now tell me, what videocards do you have, what error messages are you getting?

Nope!  7950 works with mul 8, 290 with 4 and only 4.  Kinda strange.  Tried 'tween numbers like 2048 for shaders, crashed, will try changing worksize.  No big, just interesting and something of note.  Now I was mining earlier, both cards, was running fine except for a couple of hardware errors on the 290, then the driver gave out.

Just to be perfectly clear, we're at the "Waiting for work from pool 0" stage, correct?  Yep!

Strange... I'm mining (or rather checking configs) with a 7950 and an R9-290 but it won't accept 8 for shaders multiplier.  This is my batch, which works.

cgminer.exe --kryptohash -o 127.0.0.1:38912 -u xxx -p xxx --shaders 1792,2560 --shaders-mul 8,4

Well thanks to difficulties I'm finally in on the beginning of a launch, all set up and ready to fly.  So, am I right in assuming that we're waiting on the new wallet before firing up the miners?  (poor dev, let's all buy him a brain-pillow).

I see, so just noise.  I'm going to assume/guess that these variations in hash-speed are also due to the luck of the hash as well.



 Strange to see such consistent numbers on this end and that almost rhythmic pulse on the other.  Does seem pretty cyclical though, not all that random.  Question:  I've been playing with ram timings from tight as a drum to loose as a goose, hard to see if there's any real difference though.  Word on this?

I've been offering my rig up at a profitable rate, taking a bit of a loss so someone else can have a go.  It is kind of illogical, but it's a nice thing to do, no?  Question though, how does this affect things like, I remember a bit of a bounty for miners helping suchpool get started up?.  Seem to have misplaced that thread too. 

I've often said that if I could afford an I7, I'd rather get two 8950's... and you did!   

"how this can compare to an anonymous dev with an enormous premine is beyond me. "

I agree.

I knew it fifteen minutes from when I started looking into it, the week it was announced.  Fifteen minutes to contact an acquaintance in Iceland.  "Any merchants been contacted?  Heard anything?"  "Nope!"  "*sigh*"  Done back-asswards for a reason, why?  Why the hurry?  Why the strict adherence to unreasonable deadlines??  Why not wait, sus things out, TALK TO THE LOCALS, and Get It Right!!!

Auroracoin = Springtime for Hitler
Built to fail

Now... I hope all this isn't lost on you Urocoin disciples.

In chaos lies opportunity.

IRC predates the internet, it's beautiful!  One of the backbone protocols of the old academic net, the playground of hacktavists, warez-mongers, 0-day crowd and where I got all my satellite hacks back when I was Hexdef6!  Ah the memories.  Won't die for a long time, too useful, too much built in and around it.  Great system though.

I didn't see any mention here of the new CPU miner build, V1.8.  The increase in S3 speed is huge!  I was getting about 105kh/s per thread on the version listed on page 1, this version is cranking out 165Kh/s per.  That means I'm cranking out a solid 1.15 Mh/s on cpu alone.  Nice!

You might want to check out Magi for a bit of CPU-mining.  I've noticed that not everybody there has a beast-machine.  Depends on your dual-core.

If you wanna CPU mine something, go for Magi.  It's the most driven and supported of the CPU-only mining communities.

Getting back into programming.  I'm trying to find the right niche where I can brush off the cobwebs and exercise old skills.  One thing I was good at back when was optimizing machine code, back when we actually had to write our own .h libraries for things like drawing lines with those fancy COLOR videocards!  Last of that I did was on a 386 though, then it was off to Acad Lisp and other more profitable things.
 

So I downloaded some ASM materials, reference manuals for op-codes, registers, data types, addressing modes and such, and this is what I find...

VFNMADD132SS/VFNMADD213SS/VFNMADD231SS — Fused Negative Multiply-Add of Scalar Single-Precision Floating-Point Values

VFNMADD213SS: Multiplies the low packed single-precision floating-point value from the second source operand to the low packed single-precision floating-point value in the first source operand, adds the negated infinite precision intermediate result to the low packed single-precision floating-point value in the third source operand, performs rounding and stores the resulting packed single-precision floating-point value to the destination operand (first source operand).

Mommy... I'm scared!  Can we go home now?

Calm blue ocean calm blue ocean calm blue ocean.

Y'know, the 6502 was such a nice chip, such a nice chip, why did it have to grow up and get all mean?

6502... Mult operation?  We don't need no steenkeeng MULT operation!

Revised ambition... Brush the cobwebs off of C+, such a nice clean thing, sparkly.

Oh grandmaster of bootyship I must confess that my mojo has been bewitched!  My blood on a contract... and then they threw shiny things at me!  It was the Minions of Magi.  I swam in their pools, drank of their wines, they treated me really nicely!   As it is written... a man may have eight cores to follow the eight-fold way, he himself is only a single threaded app.

I do however always point questing wanderers towards the forest.

One question though, one question that runs through my brain.  I somehow sense that I must find the answer on my own.

That question...

Does an Atomic Dog have a Booty Nature?

It's still a bit off-putting (intimidating, scary) to see djm34's big mondo farm there along with yikes, six others over 1,000Kh/s.  That's about 22,500Kh/s sitting there or about 500 hefty machines for seven users.  I know it's to secure the network and all but well 10 to 1 I can handle, but when it gets to 100 to 1, then we're definitely getting into big mining farm territory.

Money is never about money, it's about power.

I've neither the time or inclination to do the reading for a specific error message that you could just as easily repeat.  Sorry.  Nothing wrong with repeating information for clarity.

 

You're running it from a batch file?  Put the word "Pause" on a separate line just after you call vertminer, that way you can see what the error message is.  Start there.

as in...

vertminer blah blah
pause
