[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

[zelante]

ok, if you like, put the code into your github...

i don't check you batch, is it work? i count brackets in you code only - this is most "popular" mistake in code.

[christian1980]

no, only the test bat files checked.
you have to check it first, but it should work,
i have to care for my baby now, so i cant do it quick...

[Bombadil]

Would be nice if ccminer is the first to crack this one

it's classified. Ask Snowden. If I told you, you'd end up in Russia.

You're making me curious

A small source code update for ccMiner. The output will look more like
cudaMiner now. And no, you won't get 2.8 MHash/s doing X11 on a 750 Ti
yet.

[he-man]

any working cudaminer for blake (Dirac) ? I found one, it is mining at 6350 kH/s per card (750Ti) But I get no (yay!!)
Does any one got the same problem?

I'm compiling right now ... you work in awesome on ccMiner !!

but i want 2.8MH/s

[0000000000]

Which ccminer should I be using for a 750ti? 30,35,50,etc

[jgauthier]

Will this work on something with a compute of 1.3? I have a couple GTX 275s that I use and ccminer does not seem to work.  Continually gives stratum error messages.
I can get my gtx 275 to about ~90kh/s when the moon is in the right location. Otherwise, it's ~50kh/s.

I am just experimenting, so I do not want to point my 7950s to a new pool yet.

c++ redist 2012 32bit
<snip>

Did someone somewhere post some guide incorrectly involving the 2012 redist somewhere?
I've seen this come across this thread way too many times now.

I really don't understand where this assumption that 2012 redist is needed is coming from.

ccminer only worked for me after c++ 2012 32 bit.  without it i got msvcp110.dll missing even though that dll was in my windows/system32 folder.  are you talking cudaminer or ccminer?  maybe there's a distinction.

I don't even think you need 2010 installed.  I went straight to 2012 x64 and it didn't work so i installed x86 as well and it worked.  Then I just installed 2012 in both 32 and 64 on my other machines and haven't had a problem with other people's compiles since.

Won't work...only for compute 3.5 and 5.0 devices (kepler and maxwell)

Hmm, knowing 2.8MH is around the corner for X11 and maybe groestl speedups.

Figuring I could always sell a 750ti for at least $100 used, so I figure I need to cover $60 per card.

With a couple of coins turning in at least $1 per card per day that's about 2 months ROI (assuming sale value of $100).

I like to make sure I can ROI hardware in 3 months so this would seem like a pretty safe bet right now.

Thinking I need to order a couple more cards tomorrow.  Probably should try and list some of my AMDs and GTX660s and see what I can get for them on craigslist or ebay and replace them with additional 750tis to help cut down on energy use.  Now is probably a good time to sell the AMDs before everyone hops on the nVidia wagon for mining.  I just wish the higher end Maxwell cards were closer to being released!

[christian1980]

The new 0.3 Version of the nicehash price check script is working now.
There is only one problem:
Sometimes cudaminer (not ccminer) ist not exiting and waiting for the workers.
The script will exit the x11 failover pool because its expecting that cudaminer is ok.
I already increased the timeouts a bit but the problem is still there.

Code:

[2014-05-20 09:28:06] Stratum authentication failed
[2014-05-20 09:28:06] No (more) failover pools available, terminating.
[2014-05-20 09:28:06] workio thread dead, waiting for workers...

Is there a way or option to disable this waiting for workers in cudaminer and exit directly after stratum failed?

The best solution would be if cudaminer will not start initializing the cards or the mining process itself and exit if Stratum fails first.
So it will not disturb the running ccminer backup instance.

Thanks.

EDIT: Download Nvidia Inspector first and compile cudaminer with patch below to avoid the described problem.

[sambiohazard]

any working cudaminer for blake (Dirac) ? I found one, it is mining at 6350 kH/s per card (750Ti) But I get no (yay!!)
Does any one got the same problem?

I downloaded the latest build of cudaminer from here

http://cryptomining-blog.com/1998-download-the-latest-build-from-source-of-cudaminer-for-windows/

I am getting 500-820 Mh/s with 3x 750ti. I think there is lot of pcie bandwidth throttling as I get ~300 Mh/s with a single card but as I add more cards the average goes down very sharply. Any thoughts @cbuchner1

My bat file is

cudaminer.exe -i 0 --algo=blake -o stratum+tcp://eu3.blakecoin.com:3334 -O user:pass -L 512 -l T2304x24

EDIT: Pool difficulty is set to 32 so you dont get very frequent Yay!! but it is mining.

[sambiohazard]

Also cudaminer uses almost 580 MB of RAM to run blake algo.

they are still behind if the 2.8MH/s for a 750ti would be true
