Still not sure if this is a real deal, or just a coin to speculate and use for pump and dump? This is just my feeling, let's wait and see if it is legit, than I might buy some.

It's not a pump-and-dump, it's a long game.  Just the fact that there's still speculation this late in is the biggest of red flags.  I know people who work with large-scale projects and they just don't work this way!  Any questioning is dismissed with faux outrage or wave of the hand, never what should be the simplest of things to settle it once and for all.  Think of the scale of the numbers involved.  Just one of these shipments, minimum order, 12,500 tons X $325 = $1,062,500.  What sort of arena is that business conducted in?  It's one that's so large that it doesn't even notice the rats in the walls.

It was laughable enough that billionaire Nilesh Nair works for his wife in her small town CCTV shop during the day! But now we have Tucker Waterman film maker extraordinaire who runs a tacky text messaging service for Realty as a sideline to his multibillion film empire!! (that's were the name XAP entertainment comes from on his linked in profile, xaprealty.com). http://activerain.trulia.com/profile/tucker310 is there a conman forum somewhere that all these clowns meet up on?


Riot!  How cheap.  Two spelling/grammar mistakes, shear should be sheer and realtors should be realtor's.  Sad, people just don't read anymore.

8193 for 7950 just cannot be good.

Well that should be front and center.  Getting about the same speed on both cards (6850 on the side) but WU's better, thanks.

Oh joy, I just love figuring out the best settings for a new algo.  So far confirming that TC 8193 is the way to go, smaller worksize at 128 and of course, 2 threads.  Getting close to 6.5Mh/s on my 7950, but I haven't cranked it yet so that's 1000/1250.  The reason I haven't cranked it up yet is because I've been playing with some new BIOS files.  Now last time I looked around for Stilt-modded ATI files I couldn't find them, only the depressingly empty list of them on a Google spreadsheet.  Well, finally, they're back, actually have been since March!!

Observations based on years of experience, and if I were to give you an idea as to how many years, I'd just tell you that I've been around the block a time or two . . . to get around saying that I'm getting on in years. Wink

---------------------------------

In fact, when looking at the "tape", market participants' behavior is indicating that there's a high probability of a quick revaluation (I'm careful to not use the word "run" as that would imply pump and dump) to 50 satoshi in short order.

I hear you there, can't read the fine print on the chips anymore.

------------------

Also, good to hear!  Found this defibrillation attempt and it looked good so I bought in at 18-20, to immediately see it drop a couple sat.  Worried me, because I'll need this soon to buy my own defib machine (and I hear you on that one too).  So I will go all in with confidence and drop that last 0.00032827 BTC in the pot bringing it up to a hefty 87846.73316709 DGB.  To the moon!  Cheesy

compile windows ? version

Download my CL file, delete your bins, and replace the existing CL file - it will work, as that's all I've changed.


I have tried out some new configurations using your new .cl file and can confirm it works with 14.9 drivers.

Thanks for your work on this!

Wouldn't work for me with 14.7 so upgrading to 14.9 now.

Nope, nothing but HW errors, must be something else wrong.  win7-64, 8mb, HD7970s, amd 14.9,
Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
cgminer.exe --neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://ftceu.nut2pools.com:5567 -u USERNAME.1 -p PASSWORD -I 13 -w 64 -g 1 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1050

any ideas?

Drop the worksize to 48, I to 12.  Works fine for me.

Okay!  Thanks Wolf0, we are now cooking with gas, smokin' etc etc.  7950 is getting a solid 125-130 with no rejects, work units  115/m or so.  Can't tell me that a little brute force doesn't help, we're running at 1200/1500.  Oh, worksize 48 and 1 thread, I-12.  And a wups!  Guess 1200 was pushing it, getting 123 at 1150, I'll live.

Has anyone had any luck with getting 6000 series cards working?  My 6850 still craps out.

Just wanted to get some clarification on the new CGB pool.  Might want to check your "Getting Started" links because it's pointing to instructions for Neoscrypt.

Um, yeah, gonna need a port for that, assuming it's stratum.cgb.theblocksfactory.com

My 7950 was getting 64 Kh/s @ 1150/1500, workload 48 and intensity 14.  Then I got a few hardware errors and dropped intensity to 13.  Hashrate bounced up to 77 Kh/s!  Great!  Oh, CGMiner 3.7.5.

+19 Kh/s from the cpuminer and I'm feeling ok.

I hate to ask this...
but I'm not at all well...
I live up north...
It's getting cold...
I've got an abysmal amount of everything to do...
I'm trying to get caught up on 20 years...
of compiler development...
last I did assembly...
was line-drawing routines...
on my 386-33...
in Borland C...
(that's C, not C+, or C++)
for those fancy new 256 color videocards...
because there were no .h libraries for them yet.

Could someone be so kind as to compile that Skeinminer stand-alone for me?

In return I'll tell you how to crack Wolfenstein.

That's the Apple ][+ version of Wolfenstein.

Good God I'm old.

Yep, any day now!

Ha ha Wolfenstein.

I still haven't made it through the last level of Heretic. 

Heretic?  Never heard of it.  Looked it up though and OH MY BRAIN!  Nightmare!  Weird stuff extruded into some strange extra dimension that looked like it might come out of the screen, if that were at all possible.  No, the Wolfenstein I'm talking about is this one...



Wanna learn to write tight code?  Learn assembly on a 64k 6502 with no mult or div instruction.  But Bill (you know which one) managed to write the first vector-based 3D flight simulator on one and I wrote a track-sector editor/disassembler in under 2K.  Used it to crack Wolfenstein thusly...

See that staircase at the top of the screen there (yes, it's a staircase)?  If you flipped the drive door open when you went up it, let it recalibrate the drive twice, and then flipped the door back down, the program would crash straight to command prompt.  From there it was pretty simple to check the memory and find out that they'd formatted the disk in 13 rather than 16 sectors and moved the catalog track from $11 to $09.

It won't take that long to get back up to some sort of speed (probably a slow shuffle) and winter is on the way, but man, Visual Studio looks like a 747 cockpit and my brain hurts.  Basically I'm starting from scratch, but with knowledge-base and experience.

Yeah... I can't do it for you either, but I did want to ask about your 386-33 - DX or SX? I actually started with a Tandy TRS-80 with an 8bit processor, and 16k RAM... I may be older. Great.  Cheesy


Ah shit, looks like we're headed for an old-fashioned geezer-off!  Cheesy  The trash-80 was a great machine!  Had the first real dos, later cp/m and still later Dos-dos, same thing different werds, we didn't have to learn a thing when we stepped into XT-land.  16k is a bit crowded though, once you've put some basic rom in there there's not much room to turn around.  We had 16k Commodore Pets in the senior high where I kinda went sometimes.  Bit better than the punch-card machine upstairs that fed stuff to this mainframe downtown.  Learned Fortran on that!  But then we got the Apples... JOY!!!  Yep, the four years I spent in grade 10 and a bit of 11 were not too bad I must say.

As for the 386-33, more than DX, I had a 387 co-pro on that sucker!  It was supposed to be for Autocad, and it was, but it also made Fractint run really really really fast and made DKB-Raytrace actually useable.  The 386 was so so... needed!!!  If you ever want to cultivate migrane headaches, try doing M.L. with the pseudo-16 bit addressing modes of the earlier x86's.  Raytracing on a 386... I'd like to re-learn how to program POV-ray with all it's nice new goodies, run it on a real machine.

Speaking of real machines... Power8 processor... 65CM die size says... much!  And did I read something about them packing FPGA's into that thing?  Only read about that, some indeterminate time ago but wow, what else could have it "50-1000x as fast for certain operations"?  I love living in the world of the future.  Now upload me damnit, before I rot!

When introducing me to all this last year my friend told me Features don't mean Shit.  It's true, they're just an excuse to push out another P and D.  None of the other alts even exist, because they're only used as speculative game-pog tokens in a big game.  Is it a coincidence that MtGox was started trading Magic the Gathering cards?  Reality is use and adoption, period.

How often you will find blocks in the future doesn't depend on how often you found them in the past. This misbelief is called gambler's fallacy.

I understand, but every probability function has some "noise" characteristics, and can be described. Extremely long run without blocks should be less probable.
Though, I know this is not pseudorandom, but true random. But still - if you statistically count these runs, the most extreme ones should be the rarest, shoudn't they?

But now I see my length of runs without blocks is not yet extreme, in fact, it seems far from that extreme. Smiley
And these extremes should even "widen" with the net hashrate increase. Just my common sense is telling me. Am I right? Sigh.

Thank you for clarification.
I let the older wallet run for comparison anyway. Just for curiosity.

Regards,
Andy

Yep!   I've done a lot of solo-mining under a lot of difficulty levels, from being almost all the network to 1% of it.  It's those long blocks without and those quick 1-2-3's that tell you that it is truly random.  It's kinda funny how randomness is generally misunderstood.  I had four blocks in 40 minutes yesterday, followed by a void of two hours, followed by another of two hours.

cpuminer on pool how do run Huh this windows miner ?

./minerd -a skein -t 6 -s 4 -o stratum+tcp://wood.suprnova.cc:1158 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword

this run.bat file no work ,on windows  

Which error Do you get?
now only linux run this miner , windows can't ,on pool i5 2320  view 800kh ,

I'm solo-mining right now with that CPU miner.  How can I tell if it's NOT working?  I had two blocks fairly quickly through the wallet, 30 minutes apart, showing about 800Kh/s.  Now I'm getting 850+Kh/s per thread with minerd, but how can I know if it's not working other than having it crunch away at nothing for a while?  Could really use a bit more feedback from our tools.

To Dev:  Thanks loads for finally being The One who puts out a coin with all the LIMITS I've been ranting about.  It's also good because I use a wood-burning stove to keep warm in these -40 winters.  BTW, how much Wood in a Log?  Need to know how much to mine for the winter.
1236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is the 'best' coin to mine with CPUs? on: October 24, 2014, 10:47:42 PM

If your CPU would fry with mining, than it's you fault.
No CPU will fry with mining if it has adequate cooling.


Even if CPU has proper cooling but still its not worth mining , profit would be pennies .

I'm pretty sure my CPU won't fry at 55C.

Question: 
If there were no asic's or fpga's would Bitcoin be profitable to GPU mine?
If there were no GPU's would Bitcoin be profitable to CPU mine?

Right.  Supply and demand plus difficulty.

1237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][AUR] Auroracoin - a cryptocurrency for Iceland on: October 24, 2014, 10:19:50 PM
Yeah, don't write off a coin just because the forum thread dies, I sure hope the original developer is dead tho! :p

AUR was an okay idea- I don't think we had seen fair distribution or real progress towards it. It was all 'talk'  

The only country coin I see succeeding is called phcoin and they left bitcointalk months ago with tremendous updates
through official medium of communications to their community on facebook, twitter, irc, and announcement pages.

The original developer has done his job and has done it rather well, it's the community that failed to pick up what needed to be done. I still have a firm believe in this initiative, but have to say I need to finally see some activity from within Iceland first before I pick up again.

Having said that, I think Balduro eventually really has "broken the shackles". Unfortunately not for Iceland, but for crypto in general. Wishing him dead is the same as praying for the end of Cryptocurrencies, for it's persons like him that pave the way by creating new challenges.

If anything, I would have wished for Icelanders to have picked up this initiative more like my fellow countryman have (NLG).

Auroracoin was designed to fail.  It was one of my first looks at cryptocurrency and I was very excited when I heard about the project.  I had visited Iceland the previous summer and of course had fallen in love with the place.  "Awesome!" I thought, and then I read... I read news articles in the BBC that hadn't been sourced, merely passed on, I read that the development was taking place on the mainland, even weeks into the project none of the people I knew and contacted in Iceland had heard of it.  Consider this... Boots on the ground, merchants being set up to use, an informed population, none of this was being done.  Here's a very VERY telling fact... there was a huge rush just to get the system in place for the first air-drop, and days before it was to happen, the software was just being written.

Why

The

Hurry.

There can be no reason other than to foster a sense of urgency, panic, and just 'get-er-done!" and think later.  The whole thing was done without any planning whatsoever, no consultation, no talking to merchants, business-people, and they hadn't even contacted the local small but there cryptocommunity.

Just remember "The Producers", built to fail, just like Urocoin.


It is possible that Auroracoin was 'designed to fail' like you said, and that this project was commissioned by people scared of the change that cryptos can bring and sabotaged from the start. Because the developer chose to stay anonymous then there is no way to deny this accusation. But it is also the case that this is still a project that other people can build on, so long as there are people in Iceland willing to devote their time and lend their names to a movement in order to revitalize this project.

This is also true.  I just had a flash of this scene from "Fight Club"....

You know what this is?  It's a bridesmaid's dress.  It was loved once, for a day, and then thrown away, never to be used again, so sad.

*lol*

I don't think a government conspiracy is credible, but one theory was that it was a mechanism for some Icelandic businessman to get his currency in/out of the country and avoid the current strict rules surrounding that.

Hey kids.  So why is it that I'm always embarrassed about asking simple questions?  Don't answer that, it's a simple question.  I just saw the latest 64 builds in all their variety and wanted to make sure I was running the version optimized for the latest AMD architecture.  Obviously the "xptminer_k10_cphr-g1" version is for K10, but is there specifically one for the FX-8350 or bulldozer/piledriver architecture?  Is there a limit to the -s parameter, either in coding or effectiveness.  I've tried up to -s 1600000000 but haven't noticed any improvement however I'm not too familiar with interpreting the output from the miner program.  Would someone be so kind as to give me a quick rundown on what's being shown here?  How do these numbers compare?  I'm running 8 cores (7+1) and a pretty vanilla 4.8Ghz overclock, not pushing ram or bus speeds.  Thanks in advance.

...difficulty.  Keep it around for noobs to setup solo mining on?  Meanwhile, anyone wanna by 50,000 NTM?  Make that 60,000.
