Feel free to ignore or delete this post if you think inappropriate.

Anyone had a chance to run nvidia+cudaminer and ati+cgminer in one computer? Is there a special option or settings for cudaminer?

I've ran that in the past...mining yacoin on both 4 r7 240s and a gtx 780.

Just make sure you install the nvidia drivers first, then plug monitor on amd cards and install catalyst.
After that you need to get some dummy plugs and voila.

I don't think it'll work at all using linux.

I still think solo is better if you're patient...it takes a bit longer to average out, but I don't pay no fees, and I get ALL the jackpot for me if I ever get one, whilst staking coins too. Cheesy
First 24hs netted me 600k coins, second 180k so far.

Sooo. 10 hours mining jpc solo and no blocks yet. Are you still solo mining ivanlabrie?

Got two 90k blocks today...I don't know if the pool would pay more than that atm.
Not sure if anything's more profitable than this, if it starts sucking I'll go back to Yac.

Well, I mined for less than a day and got a lot...not sure how fast did difficulty progress though, but in general I prefer solo mining.

Minted 3 PoS blocks apparently, and 6 of the regular ones in I'd say 12 hours with a day of downtime in between. (6 and 6)
569  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX] on: May 04, 2014, 08:18:17 PM
150k is my daily earnings for the last 24 hours. Diff is going up. So its still 0.006btc a day max. Diff is shooting up Sad

JPC?

That many per day? and on what hardware?

I mine with 6 750 ti's and I've been finding a gazillion blocks solo.
Already made 0.03btc and it's been less than a day.

Well no, it isn't possible.
ASICs are designed to only do one thing, in your case mine scrypt coins.

Holding all coins you mine is too much of a gamble...you'd lose money investing in whatever you choose with that mindset.
Buy and hold doesn't always work, it only works in a bullish market (like the way the stocks behaved over the course of a few decades, which created this mindset).
If you're an investor, you are a trader and you should invest responsibly, have a risk management strategy and some sort of plan.
Tossing money at something won't make you rich, you're just betting your way into wealth, and it won't work.

HEY, is there a way to get this program to work with the gridseed blades? My blade wont work on max only pools with cgminer 3.7.2


Thanks for any help!

Huh!?

Gridseed miners are scrypt only...max is keccak.

I'm really confused with that Bryce guy as well...doesn't give the coin a good image, the way he was presented.
I wanna see some code, a github, something, otherwise I'm not convinced.
We need a proper PR team for Myriad, and to distance the coin from Bryce imho, until he shows he's 100% legit.

Ultra-Arb Update

My plan today was to release the new Coin360 feature for Ultra-Arb. I ended up having to remove Poloniex (hacked) from Ultra-Arb instead, and then re-work things so if an entire exchange goes down in the future, no work will need to be done. (I do have a backup and can restore it quickly when it comes back)

So I'm hoping to release Coin360, possibly tomorrow and will provide an update as soon as it is ready for testing.


Excellent, I'll keep an eye on that.

DCgirl,
Thanks for the hard work!!

And thanks Ivanlabrie, for warning this thread about that exchange! I never traded on it - and especially after you posted your thoughts on it I realized it was too good to be true.

Sorry that it ruined your Friday DCgirl!!




I liked that Poloniex had stop and limit orders but well, it had already been hacked first.
Luckily I remove coins regularly from exchanges...yikes.


Why the need for a download?
In order not to puzzle where to get miner and what settings to use. You download the archive on the link and there's ALL THERE! The miner + bat files to all popular video!

It's a good idea, I'd like it if the ultracoin team folks would post the links in the OP to legitimize the download so to speak.
When coins are involved, it's better to be safe than sorry.

It's not a false rumor and has been proven here many times.  Thirtybird has explained it better than I can a few times in this  thread, but the more cards you have, the more RAM you need to run it with a low lookup gap.  My lack of system RAM only allows me to get about 80% out of each 290x I have  because I can't run them with the higher lookup gap without one card refusing to start.  

Also, you assume all new miners are using low end gear.  What if a new miner comes in like me with 4x 290x cards and only 8 GB system RAM and has the same issues I do?  I was already at a 25% profitability disadvantage against scrypt coins because of this, and that was before the orphan problem.  It does work out good for CPU miners and 750 Ti miners, but it doesn't hold true for everyone.  

That will be true with ultracoin miner. But yacminer, with its fine intensity tweaking should give you the same results on whatever lookup gap you mine.

This right here is why I've advocated people using the "buffer-size" setting instead of thread-concurrency - it confuses what people think the problem may be.  They both will accomplish the same things - allocating the OpenCL buffer for the card - but thread-concurrency is factored on lookup-gap, which gets fiddly when trying to test config changes.  buffer-size just says "I'm allocating this much memory" and the rest of the settings work with that to do their hashing.  So, it's not a lookup-gap problem that's preventing you from maxxing out the cards.

System RAM can be important, depending on your config.  If you've only got 4GB of system memory, you're going to be hurting yourself if you try to work with _any_ cards that have 3GB or 4GB of VRAM.  Is it possible, absolutely.  Is it easy, hell no.  I've examined Beave's setup quite some time ago - he's banged it out pretty good - high effeciency with low cost and decent hashpower.  He's gone with a large number of 2GB cards per system, and absolutely can run 6 x 2GB cards on just 4 GB of system RAM.  I know it can work, and I personally run a 4 x 2GB system on Windows on just 4GB RAM.  My other mining setup uses 4GB cards, and needed 8GB of system ram to go beyond 2 cards.

Now, with that said, you've got R9 290x's with (guessing) 4 GB of GPU memory.  It is absolutely quite possible that 8GB is not enough to allocate 3.6GB per card on just 8 GB of system memory.  I can allocate 3GB per card, but I don't have as many shaders on my R7 240's to keep busy as you do so even at N=14 I don't need to go higher.  The efficiency of your card will suffer by trying to cram more work to those shaders as you crank up the lookup-gap.  One nice thing is, so long as you can allocate as much memory as I can on your card (--buffer-size 3040), you can still get ~ 3KH/sec by running the same lookup-gap (2) and a reduced raw intensity (-R 1280).  From there, any additional memory you can allocate will give you a higher -R to use.  The key is to find out how high of a buffer-size you can allocate on each card before you have problems.  On my system with 4 x 2GB cards and 4GB, I am allocating a buffer-size of 1753 for each card - any higher than that, and I will get cards fail to start up.  This is also pushing the limits of what can be allocated per card anyway (from single card testing), so I'm happy to be there Smiley

Configuring miners for high end cards on high NFactor coins is hard.  I don't think anyone can say it's not intimidating for new miners, or experienced miners alike.  I've tried to put as much of my knowledge and findings out there as possible, but not everyone has the patience to read it all or the time to test a myriad of settings.  I've got something in the testing fork of YACMiner that will make finding working settings much easer for new miners, but I've got some issues with timing and the multiple threads that I haven't had time to look into solving.

We actually went over this when I posted the problem over a month ago.  I may have changed it to just messing with the buffer-size.  I'm not currently mining it, nor have I touched my settings in over a month, so I dont' know what I settled on, I only remember that it was still only about 80% of what others could get, and even what I could get if I only left 3 cards active.  The point I was making still stands, changing the N-factor can make it a pain for people who aren't all geeked out over this and reading thread posts all day about problems people are having.  Thanks for the information assist again Thirtybird.

Well, with work comes reward. If people are not willing to put some man hours into it, then they are better off buying coins.

That will build up hype, or get random folks to stare at the pics...don't think they'll buy UTC or use it. :p

no one to help me HuhHuh any one can help me i have this setup --scrypt-jane --worksize 128 -g 2 --lookup-gap 3 --thread-concurrency 41440 -I 11 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.ultracoinpool.info:3333 -u xxxx -p xxx --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388361600


i have r9 280 and when i launch ultracoinminer.exe i can see an error but can't read he shut down to fast i have pick my estup here http://ultracoin.net/configgen_raw.html

Use yacminer, I'd suggest using 8gb of ram if using windows and trying these settings:

--scrypt-chacha --worksize 256 -g 1 --lookup-gap 4 --buffer-size 2560 -R 8192 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.ultracoinpool.info:3333 -u xxxx -p xxx --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1388361600

That's a good starting point, from there you can try increasing the -R value gradually till you get HW errors, then reduce it till they go away.

@cointradero

I agree, I didn't like the block reward reduction at all...nor the guys wanting to slow down the n factor changes, it's just nonsense to go changing the specs which made it attractive to many in the first place, and rewarding bag holders, further strenghtening their % of the market share.

The community does have stand out people that work a lot and pull off impressive stuff like dcgirl for instance, and many supporters, but I think the wallet issues and spec changes are not doing anything for the coin atm.

A higher PoS reward and drawing some inspiration from PPC's and YAC's best traits would be much better imho. (transaction fees being destroyed, money supply controlled by PoS minting AND mining->the multipool helps the price but will hurt security as you put it, same as the wallet issues hurt the people wanting to stake their coins for the rewards and added security).

Me and Thirtybird have extensive experience with n factor coins...he is the yacminer dev and I've been mining yacoin for ages, as well as UTC and others.

I can post settings for all cards, but we already have the conf file generator thirtybird developed in the op.

I am aware of that.  Has it been found to be fairly successful?  Any issues, I remember hearing some at first but haven't utilized it myself.

It seems that an experienced miner would be able to search the forum and other resources to come up with solutions to any of their problems.  I guess what I was thinking was a one stop shop.  A summary of information that is very easy to find and easy to navigate.  I would also like to see ultracoin.net used more so we can slowly transfer traffic to that site rather than bitcointalk. 

Also, I am concerned about novice miners.  IMO, I think it would be great to provide this information in such a "UTC Mining for Dummys" type of way that a brand new miner who just got his rig built (or is attempting to build their first one) can visit the mining info location and be up and running with no issues. 

UTC profitability being so high, it is going to be natural for people to look into it.  I would love to see the impact it would have if they also found UTC to be the most user friendly mining community in existence.  This news would spread like wildfire to other new potential miners. 

As always, I think it is best to take a step back from what we think is simple (because we have experience) and start to think like someone who found out about crypto yesterday.  This will expand our audience and community as a whole.  Currently, I find very few cryptos are targeting newcomers -which is completely stupid.  Crypto experts and OGs make up quite a small population.

I agree, it might be a good idea, we can work together with untalented and the devs and staff to pull that off.

Before I add this information,  is this archive for script mining or X11 ?

Settings for X11

https://mega.co.nz/#!QgpS0ZBA!aH5_1oADu8i00tc5r6i6bj4D1XtnzVNeMmKAkDyLsH4

Why the need for a download?


Why?

We know you are very smart in many things.
I post on 676 page this forum, my ready settings for X11 and scrypt coins to mine on UTCmultipool.com for newbie miners.
Many miners asking for settings or searching answer lost time, now they can just download from the links miner with ready settings.
Only need to register, put in the optimal scrypt worker name and password.
Thats bad idea?
 

 

Oh, it wasn't crystal clear...if it's a miner download yeah it could be a good idea, but I'd like to keep the software downloads from third party sources to a minimum. If the yacminer developer or the utc devs post the downloads then I'll support you 100%.
