[ANN][VRM] Verium PoWT | CPU mining | scrypt² | Scaling | New Roadmap Released

[cyberspacemonkey]

Another question I have is why is there only a 32 bit version available for Windows? wouldn't a 64bit wallet mine faster?

Devs said that there was no advantage for mining with a 64bit version...maybe in the future when they combine the Vericoin and Verium wallets into one they will make it a 64 bit version. But that's just what I remember Pat saying in chat....don't quote me on that.

It is going to be the same not faster

I'm a little lazy to do this right now, have you tried comparing hashrate between Linux 64bit VS Windows 32bit on the same CPU?

New question for you tech-savvy people.

Is there a way to combine different computers to put all their hashes in to one wallet thus increasing the chances of finding blocks?

If so, I'd be keen to learn how to. As I now have about 4 machines running but when they are split up I won't find much.

Thanks,

Asking this again.

You've still got that pesky font scaling issue. Check out this screen shot

Same issue here.

I want to know too, i have 5 machines

Just use one wallet.dat for all machines.

I am interested in this too.
I have 6 machines. I'd like to combine them as if they were one miner.

Thanks

How do you export your wallet to put in other machines>?

I've got an unoptimized version up here:

https://github.com/ocminer/cpuminer-verium

However, there is no working testnet, so it's hard to tell if its working now as diff is already sky high and someone most likely has an optimized version or even a GPU miner. I've had it running for about 10 hours on a 16 CPU VM but couldn't found a block - however also no rejects, so I cannot say that it's working or not.

If I have some extra time I'll try to get testnet running again and debug more.

The miner will take ages before it prints first results as the huge memory page has to be filled at first, don't worry, just let it sit.

I'll give it a go and see what happens.

You got any plans on a p2p pool?

Also, could you perhaps create a compiled version? If you were to have the time that is.

Would really appreciate it. Thanks,

This codebase is the same as the wallet so I wouldn't expect any issues. There isn't a way to make a faster GPU miner with the current ram as they have now. Since each thread requires at least 128 MB of ram, and the best GPUs have 8GB, you could only run at most ~80ish threads instead of the 2500+ you can for standard scrypt and it ends up being slower than a CPU thanks to poor GPU branch prediction, clocks, etc.

It might be possible to optimize the CPU miner, but we already optimized the low hanging fruit with compiler and CPU extension optimization.

Good work, though. Thanks for doing this.

Also, to clarify, does 16 CPU VM mean 16 cores or 16 logical hyper threaded cores? What hash rate are you getting?

I have the same question. Currently, Im running 2 machines and imported the wallet file into the 2nd one. I used the same password in both wallets. Is that correct?

I've copied wallet.dat file, located in C:/users/my_user/appdata/roaming/verium from my main pc to other miners. Now i'm receiving all mined coins in one wallet. Ofcourse you should backup old wallet.dat file before replacement if you have some funds in it.

Will have to try this with my other PCs

16 virtual cores, it's a DO container.

Even after now almost 20h not a single block...

I hope someone will release an optimized miner to the public soon...
