Any ETA and speculation on Nvidia support?
|

I think what would be good for the coin is to get added to a second exchange.
And a second mining pool would also be good, currently 90% of mining power is concentrated within a single pool.
Agreed, these are natural patterns of growth and maturity within any chain. Any suggestions? |

Concurrent write detected, queuing.
This warning can normally be ignored. It might be a hint that there is a network issue. In this case the miner would disconnect and reestablish the network connection soon after that. Good to know What is the sol rate on a rx470 ? Anyone tested?
I am getting around 6 sol/s and unsure if that is "decent" or something wrong.
on a 4GB? that would be more than decent, on an 8GB that's somewhat lower than I would expect, if you do have an 8GB model stick to v1.0 |

This happens alot I feel. Coins go silent for a while only to be revived for a price jump.
Take the risk or not? I got a 390 pulling 15 zero a day.
Wallet update or port would be nice. Maybe a dice game or faucet? More exchanges?
good question, I've seen coins rise and fall, cup and handle, used beta and pre-release miners. The risk you speak of, is a question of crystal balls. how much will it be worth in 1 month? 2? 6? a year or so? All we have to go on is in depth knowledge of crypto in general, the algorithm, its potential use-cases, benefit in comparison, etc. a lot goes on gut instinct, and the will to put the work in and say "if i lose out, i lose out". most of the people in this thread feel it's a worthy venture, with different ways to go about it i'm sure. That's probably why we're here. My best advice is to be comfortable in your personal finances first. Edit* I know what it's like to want to buy ETH at 7$ but end up selling dozens because you need milk and laundry money. |

true, but people are free to mine what they want, personally I have my 380s mining ETH because I'm getting between 2.25-3.25 per card that's about a quarter what a 390 pulls.
ETH is way more profitable, especially with a BIOS mod, if what you want is ZERO, then... mine ETH and sell it for ZERO?
AKRO, I'm setting up a couple of 480s. The BIOS mod that you mention, is that relevant to the PCs running Linux? Does it apply to the 480 cards? Tearo 380s not 480s, but mods exist for them too, I don't normally mine on linux, but to my understanding it should work fine. *EDIT* Beware flashing BIOS, be sure that the BIOS you use is compatible with your specific memory etc. if you mess up, you might be fine, or you might break your card for good. (I did this once to identical cards, one came back, the other was lost forever) , be sure to make a backup of the original. Read Thrice, do once. |

I do not understand miners with 4GB video cards. Digging with the loss of profit (ETH mining is more profitable). This reduces the profit to miners with 8GB of GPU (increasing the difficulty). If you really believe in a coin - dig ETH and buy Zero on them. This you will help and earn much more.

Fantastic work,
Just wanted to point out using the 4gb miner with an 8gb card, I tried using -i 2 but just cranks out a lot of invalid low diff shares. I can sort of figure out why, my lack of expertise can't explain it.
*edit*
any word on r9 280s?

would you happen to know how well it hashes on an i7, say dual vs single channel?
Will be re-doing benchmarking in about two weeks and let you know. What i7 MB are you using, with what speed memory? Tearo ah, i don't have an i7 just yet but i've been eyeing some upgrades, currently on pretty entry-medium grade cpus. I get about 0.2 sol/s on an AMD quad -t1 but the pool suggests a bit more than that ~3S/s but my guess is it's such a low number the pool can't give a solid estimate. in either case it does get a little unstable and it comes really close to my ram limit, which might be holding it back a bit, i'm going to Frankenstein my parts and have it run on 16gb. *edit* I had it run on -t3 and I had a few invalid shares, a lot actually, but it seems to be less than 1 sol/s. on a 3 threads on a steamroller quad that gets toasty. |

Fascinating algo, i'm trying to stop my mind from immediately wondering what VEGA will do with its HBM2 memory, super-wide bus and if half, single, or double precision is the deciding factor with this algorithm.
The Equihash algo is not particularly CPU intensive, and the Blake2 rounds it does, it's all simple integer arithmetic and bit ops. It was picked specifically because of the steep memory curve. So, if you compare architecturally say an i7 with 4 cores against a cutting edge GPU with dozens of cores, the performance does not scale with the number of cores. The GPUs are using super fast memories, but an i7 has a complex cache structure with 6+ MB of on-chip SRAM. So, if we were to pick Equihash parameters, such that four threads would require 8 GB of memory, resulting performance difference may not be huge, given highly optimized implementations tuned to the memory architecture specifics. These GPU dies are really huge, and that makes them inherently expensive and always leaves room for yield issues. So the best price per Equihash solution has not been fully explored yet. But it's clear that a dedicated ASIC maker would have to compete with the likes of Intel and AMD, for designing complex memory subsystems and accessing volume production in the most advanced semiconductor processes. Good luck with that... Tearo
Hey, nobody bothered to leave a message for the BD folks, telling them how much we love them and appreciate their coverage of Zero. Wake up and promote the coin, you lazy bums! would you happen to know how well it hashes on an i7, say dual vs single channel? |

In any case, I can definitely see this coin finding its niche, especially if the novel differences setting it aside from others come into play in a significant or generally positive way.

how are temperatures and power draws? i'm guessing pretty similar.

V12 has much lower temps for me, from 80+c to 65c and 56c, max intensity -li 1, -li 1 doesn't seem to slow my hashrate down, at least on hawaii, if it does it's a single digit drop. on a pair of 390s that is a huge drop. my tonga takes a slight hit with the -li 1 flag but, still faster than v11.1 as for dualmine, i'd say either so long as the power draws and temps don't take a major hit. Thanks CM keep it up  |

I dont think so... But the Exchange was initialised with 1btc = 1kmd. I dont think that kmd were traded at this rate. Was kmd sold for 1 btc per kmd on bittrex? Has anyone sold it at 1 btc rate?It was showing 24 hours high and now 99% fall in price at 12000 Satoshi.
Some dipshit always buys from themselves at a ridiculous valuation for a token amount for the lulz. All it does is fuck the graph view up Pretty much, -100% on the change for 24h, if the guy hit the exchange early, he would only need to do a partial order so long as it goes through at that price, maybe there was like 25KMD in the way, who knows. |

As @azzAz says that wire is scorched a bit near the 1x PCIe connector. It looks like it overheated. Probably not enough power to the riser or a surge. USB pcie risers run 1x yellow power wire (12v) and 1x red wire (5v) into the Molex connector. That cheap ass ribbon cable you bought has a single power and no ground wires. Heck, it probably cost you as much as a good PCIe USB riser would. I sell PCIe risers so take my advice with a grain of salt, but don't you think it's weird that your Molex connector usually has 4 wires running into it but you only have 1 in your ribbon riser? Aye, I never bought ribbon risers, I got USB risers and paid import fees before retailers had them, ebay, wtvr, they came up even cheaper nonetheless, the idea of a piece of electrical tape and some exposed bell wire, idk it put me off, + the benchmarks in certain tasks that the ribbons would bottleneck in different implementations, not sure how true that is, probably more towards gaming. I don't even know what the parts on the USB risers do, they might not even do anything XD, the capacitors etc. but they look generally more polished and safer for high temp use 24/7 operation. like something that's ok to plug into your computer. Edit: it does happen even USB risers are rubbish, you get one out of a bundle that is DOA if you get them from a bulk source, untested, etc. or just from a bad supplier, (more components can fail, more room for QC measures to fail) but all in all, from everything i've seen over the years, they're a much better and safer choice. |

Is this faster than the Djm miner? this is CPU miner, djm has GPU miner Do you have any idea about hash rate on a Intel Celeron J1800? Since apparently gpu mining is pretty pointless. Edit: Never mind. Without optimized AMD miner I have no interest what so ever in this coin. seems like it's gone full circle, the point of the algo swap was to make CPUs less efficient by adding GPUs, and yet an entire rig = 1 CPU. And no optimized AMD miners means only an exclusive group can mine it. hmmm EDIT: 1 rig = 2 CPUs, 1 Nvidia rig = 10 CPUs, it's a shite state of affairs at present but it may turn around, maybe even claymore will show his face? |

Just saying, I've got a pretty serious flu and looking at a screen just hurts my bones (don't ask) could someone be a hero and compile and AMD miner for windows? 20500 approaches.  |

I am getting a lot of miner thread hangs.
Then miner restarts only when I press 's'. Otherwise both of my 390 remain idle.
What could be the problem?
Is new 17.1 driver any better?
as far as I can tell, it's hell to use since Afterburner doesn't work, you have to use AMD wattman BS, and for whatever reason it's impossible to set the core voltage and the fans are a shitty approximation of RPM that won't follow where you set them, all things considered it's probably running a few degrees cooler, according to claymore i'm running 44% fans with 72c temps after 20 minutes, not sure if it sounds like 44% though. my 380 is giving me same temps but at half the fans. I miss afterburner's simple specifics, i'm probably going to roll back. maybe for gamers who want simple settings like "low power" "extreme" "fast" "chill" "lit fam" then yeah i could see how wattman has a niche. |

this has happened to me before, once one of my 390s failed to get recognized, but it worked fine. It could be that you set your undervolt too low, it depends on the manufacturer (i've got one that can OC balls to the wall with a -44mV, the other can't do better than -12mV and needs to go up to match the OC) and make sure crossfire is disabled. |

At least for GCN 3 devices (like Tonga), ethminer is within 1-2% of the memory read performance limit of the cards. GCN assembler won't make it any faster for those cards.
Plus with the profitability of eth mining to drop significantly in the next few months, miner developers are generally not interested in doing more work into eth.
Now, this is technical and i'm out of my element, but the Tonga cards should be able to workout 384-bit mem bus, problem is, after a bit of discussion i found out, you would have to pretty much write a bios from scrap, but, theoretically remove that bottleneck giving a 50% increase in performance, the 380x would suffer less if there are any bottlenecks, and the memory straps could also be modded in the way that certain ETH mods gave hashrates of 25+/s (mind you with wild results with regard to heat and stability the higher you went) Tonga cards have a 256-bit memory bus, not 384. If you are referring to the fact that the GPU die supports a 384-bit bus, even if you could enable the extra two memory controllers, those bus lines aren't even connected to the package. yeah, something like that, you seem to know what you're on about. |
