[ANN][AR2] Argon2Coin new PoW algo, CPU friendly

[testz]

Argon2 optimized miner (x10+ faster) 1.0.1:
https://www.bitteaser.com/press-releases/?title=argon2-optimized-miner
Link was updated with GitHub sources location. Enjoy!  
PS: Sorry for delays.

Thanks testz!
Great work!
So,I promise bounty for improve and bug fix 10k ar2, What do you think pay all  or part of bounty and wait for more optimizations?

It's up to you   but I suggest to split bounty for 4 optimization stages, because sure this new algo can have more optimizations. If not, you can always send remaining bounty as additional for previous optimizations after some deadline.

ok. Will pay 2,5k immediately, 7,5k will remain and will wait new optimizations of cpu miner.
p.s. The bounty for pools is still available.

Thanks! Don't forget about JJ12880 fix, and please consider bounty for exchanges, I will be very glad to see coin at https://yobit.net

Is this the same thing? Looks like an exact duplicate.

using the suprnova pool now. works fine under win7, but fails on my ubuntu vhost:

Code:

[2015-12-22 15:11:06] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://ar2.suprnova.cc:7095
[2015-12-22 15:11:06] 5 miner threads started, using 'argon2' algorithm.
[2015-12-22 15:11:36] stratum_subscribe timed out
[2015-12-22 15:11:36] ...retry after 10 seconds

solomining works though

hmm...looks like I'm the only one with that problem :/

I've checked the logs - checked my miners and couldn't reproduce it.

[ltcnim]

yeah, I think the problem is at my side, I just don't get it. I can mine at your pool from my desktop pc without problems. Just my ubuntu 12 vhost does not like to connect :/

Curious question for you.

On my AMD 8350, on Windows 7 64bit, I get the same speed if I use 4 cores or 8 cores. Basically the more cores I use the hashes per core drop.

Is this just something on my end?

It has to do with the load balancing and cpu affinity. I dont understand it 100%, but i got best speed, running two instances of the miner, with 4 cores each, and then in the task manager set the affinity for the one mining instance to the first 4 cores, and the second to the second 4 cores.

Would be interesting if you can see some difference in the cpu monitor when you run it with 4 cores and with 8 perhaps it is limits to 4 like max, post the screenshots if you can, thanks

4 Cores:


8 Cores:



Seems to still all the cores up. I did not let the 8 core run long though.

Why are we doing a duplicated coin? Just out within a day ago! 

[craslovell]

Anyone running the optimized miner on an old AMD Phenom II x4 ?
I'm only seeing slightly under 2kh/s with it.

Fair explaination.

Ping the website and use the ip address and port, I have had this in the past.

Thx but still no joy. I have the strange feeling, that my vserver provider somehow blocks the stratum protocol...

Selling Argon2 coins for 0.000075 BTC/coin.

you maybe want to buy for less than your sell price?
selling 1000 AR2 for 3000 CURE (right now cure only 0.00002381)

Not interested in spending much CURE, but I'll buy 300 AR2 for 750 CURE, get the market moving a tad

maybe estimated the price too high, at least for now
i will donate the 750 in curecoin's website

added bounties for website 7500 AR2.
Best regards, Encel-US.

Are there any plans for this coin, other than to be able to mine it easily?
