-Then add the following commands to the prime-gpu.exe file bat: -address=127.0.0.1 -listen=0
-address=127.0.0 is by default, so it's redundant. -listen=0 - we're not using this, not really sure what it does (it's an option of the client we're basing our code on) So no need to add any commands then? ...and is my rig mining properly or not? |

Well, it mines!   Started 2 min ago...crossing fingers. Needed to do the following for it to work: -Run prime gpu server -Have my primecoin blockchain data and conf in the default directory (this kinda pissed me off since I have it in my D: drive...) -Then add the following commands to the prime-gpu.exe file bat: -address=127.0.0.1 -listen=0 Is that correct dev? EDIT: this thing seems to sip power btw...even with no undervolting it's doing 125-135w per 280X at 1020mhz core and 1500mhz mem. (downclocked it a bit, was at 1200/1750 in the screenshot) |

You think I can adjust lookup gap with a knc titan for instance?
no, but with a specially designed (futureproof) Scrypt-N ASIC. It's absolutely possible to design one. and this is why I don't like people claiming that Scrypt-N is ASIC-proof. Nothing is ASIC-proof. Christian You'd still get a performance hit...and high n factors would take a gazillion gb's, ram wise. It's gonna be expensive to build it, even if it can do LG. |

can anyone show a screenshot of this running?
I'll post one as soon as I get my primecoin wallet to reindex... |

Do they have 20nm asics ready?
I hear Nvidia has delayed 20nm parts till 2015, and I very much doubt knc can get them before Nvidia does.

Only way I can imagine it being feasible is make an asic with more than enough ram for a few n factor changes and then add more ram for the next gen.
LOOKUP_GAP also works in ASICs  ... in principle You think I can adjust lookup gap with a knc titan for instance? |

ASICs = more profits for the manufacturers.
People keep repeating that blatant lie, out of ignorance I guess, that asics are cheaper and more efficient and thus more profits for the miners.
Well, NO!
You can't buy an asic NOW like you can buy gpus, and with the current pre-order mafia, it makes it impossible for anyone besided the manufacturers and their inner circle to make any money with asics.
That's just fact, I'm done with this, and lost faith on 90% of the human race right now...I can't believe the foolishness/blindness of some.

Scrypt-jane doesn't mean it has a variable N factor...could be fixed and it would still be some form of scrypt with chacha as mixing function.
in practice most jane coins are just forks of Yacoin, copying the formula for progressive N and only varying the start time and possible the nmin and nmax parameters. In my opinion, all these coins progress too slowly to really fend off ASICs in the long tern... Christian You think so? Only way I can imagine it being feasible is make an asic with more than enough ram for a few n factor changes and then add more ram for the next gen. |

Bitleu, the Romanian coin is Asics proof . It is scrypt-Jane with variable N factor.
Scrypt-Jane with variable N factor, so... Scrypt with variable N factor with variable N factor??? Scrypt-jane doesn't mean it has a variable N factor...could be fixed and it would still be some form of scrypt with chacha as mixing function. |

guys I think you should message neuro with your addresses, let's not make it look like a giveaway or someshit ... we don't want our thread closed.
Good point. |

What a joke! Tech Luddites trying to stop progress... This isn't 2010 anymore, big money is coming into crypto and this project just muddies the water around a highly successful (#2) coin. Go create some crap altcoin if that is your intention.
ASIC will stratify LTC with BTC, separating it from the shit.
WIth ASIC big money is GOING AWAY from cryptos .. KNCminer bought an old helicopter-hangar in northern Sweden (5.500 m2) to mine Bitcoins with their powerful minings-rigs. "We make three million swedish crones (466,000USD) everyday from mining Bitcoins and selling, says Sam Cole, CEO KNCminer." They have most network and they just mine and dump and have giant profit on expense off the others..and price goes down little by little..every $ you spend buying bitcoin big part off it go in to their pockets. QFT! People are just ignorant or brain dead... |

Only algo that is truly asic proof is variable n factor with scheduled changes, not the year long vertcoin n factor change...that's too darn long but the devs said they would hard fork if need be.
And, you know what, I don't like those asic manufacturers/mining cartels/mafia dudes at all xD

I have a gtx780 going 5.5 khs with t9x21, is that good enough? Also, the 0.55 khs is normal on the fx 8350?
I can get over 7kh/s with mine... -s 10 --algo=scrypt-jane:YAC -i 0 -C 2 -b 8192 -L 6 -l t12x32 -m 1 See that btc address below my signature? Feel free to use it if it worked. As for the cpu, hash is perfectly fine. |

Fun times ahead...  When is N 12 coming? Looking forward to that, will drive a lot of dumpers out of the mining game. |

Ever heard the word secret?
He wasn't impressed with the primegpu miner I mentioned, so it must be something big :p

I am sorry to hear Nvidia is not supported.
Is there any hardware or architectural problem ?
Nvidia's opencl performance is way weaker than AMD's...also, you'd need to code a CUDA accelerated miner for it to work well. |
|
|
|
Yacoin is where it's at I like that higher N factors tend to equalize hash rates between all miners, and make it solo mineable to a certain extent. |
|
|
|
Does it support merged mining?
If so, does that include being able to be a secondary chain in a merge or does it support it only in the case of its being used as the primary chain in the merge?
-MarkM-
That's a very good question, but I don't think it does. Would be pretty cool though. |
