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

[bitwonder]

hello there, i would give anyone 500 creditbit coin for helping me setup miner for argon2 to supernova pool, use the teamviewer. any help please? i got 1 R280x. and BTW were there any rental rig could be use for this coin?

There's no GPU miner at the moment, but you can use the CPU miner floating around

could you help with cpu miner, been mining using wallet, but now no block to found

Im sorry, I should have specified. I cant build it on windows.  Linux build works, but i only have Linux on my low power laptop :/

The CPU-Miner needs a patch for pooled mining, i've included it here:

thanks, oc

Thanks ocminer.
New release of cpuminer now is on github.

What can coz new miner works as bad as the old one.?
FX-8350 8-core 240 H/s

OS? Check your power profile.

[MikroTik]

Is worth to mine with cpu i5?

Power profile is ok. Checked on win 8 and win vista.

And created a pull request and the Dev's branch so he can merge that as soon as he's back online.

Hashrate calculation needs to be fixed on the pool probably because this algo is so ultraslow.. We'll see when some hash is in the pool.
While Blocks are being found without problems, consider the pool beta for now though.

thanks, oc

OC config rig for Scrypt-Jane ?

[tamara163]

why the CPU is loaded only 50-70%?

[ltcnim]

Ouch, we are speaking about a ram eater, it is possible then to mine it in a core2duo with 4gb of ram or it is a waste?

Dev have you think about  to add the coin to some other pool?

thanks

Some people seem to be having trouble with the Windows CPUMiner, but on Linux cpuminer is using less than 50MB of RAM to mine on 8 hyperthreaded cores.

even on ubuntu the standalone miner gives me only 90-100 H/s per thread on my box, while setgenerate gives a little over 300 H/s per thread. I tried building the miner with VS2013 but the libs are missing.

What CPU do you have? In an ubuntu VM I'm having no trouble mining at 700kH/s+ on 5 of my 6 5820k cores, and I spun up an EC2 instance a bit ago, which has no problem hitting ~1000 kH/s per (physical) core. I've noticed that, on machines with very high core counts, performance seems to take a hit below what I'd expect (AKA a c4.2xlarge, which has 4 cores/8 threads, actually runs FASTER than a c4.8xlarge when all cores are committed, although a c4.8xlarge runs at the same speed as a c4.2xlarge when only a fraction of the cores are wired). Also, the Argon2d hashing algorithm is, according to the whitepaper, designed to take advantage of modern x86-platform features, so perhaps you have a very old processor where these optimizations aren't available?

If you're running it in a VM, try some CPU benchmarks to make sure your virtualization isn't giving your CPU power a haircut.

It's a vserver:

model name      : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU           E5520  @ 2.27GHz

As I said, using the wallets build in mining it's around 3 times faster.

Btw. just tried the new 1.2 standalone miner to mine on my ubuntu server:

Code:

...
[2015-12-21 11:26:11] CPU #0: 5.40 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:11] CPU #1: 4.00 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:11] CPU #2: 3.95 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:11] CPU #3: 5.43 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:17] CPU #2: 3.48 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:18] CPU #5: 4.09 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:18] CPU #2: 4.68 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:18] CPU #1: 3.79 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:19] CPU #4: 3.57 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:19] CPU #3: 4.39 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:19] CPU #6: 3.51 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:19] CPU #0: 4.29 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:24] CPU #1: 4.04 H/s
[2015-12-21 11:26:24] CPU #6: 3.79 H/s
...

That's on a i7 4770K. Something's not right here I guess I's using around 12% of my CPU with 7 cores.

That temperatures...

[antonio8]

Weird issue I am having.

The miner works on my AMD 8350 and AMD 1100t but it will not run on my Intel 4790k. I have pause set in my bat and it stops when I start the miner on the Intel cpu but there is no error message. All 3 machines are on Windows 7 64bit and the only thing different on the 3 is the Nvidia driver. All bats are exactly the same.

Which miner u using ?
I have also AMD 8350 and hashing 240 H/s

The latest that Encel-US just posted in post# 186. The first version does the same though.

We would like to add a pool too.
