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

[cbuchner1]

I've added back interactive mode into the Kepler scrypt-jane kernel. It costs some performance, but the computer remains usable as if nothing was running in the background. I do this by splitting the large N=32768 scrypt computation into small chunks of 1024 iterations each and adding a tiny sleep time of 100us between each chunk. Next I will modify Titan and Fermi kernels accordingly.

The Fermi architecture currently sucks for scrypt-jane. Not sure why. It's performing admirably for regular scrypt-hashing.

Hmm, I've just tried mining a newer scrypt-jane coin (QQCoin) and I'm only getting around 7 kH/s on my 780. That's really low, my 7970s get around 1.8MH/s currently.

I did change the nTimestamp value to the proper one for this coin in the source, is there anything else I need to change?

Edit: switched to 64-bit build instead, now getting 53kH, but that's still way lower than AMD.

Relm9, where did you get your cudaminer for scrypt-jane from?

7 is very high

For yacoin it is, but the N factor for QQcoin is still low so hashes should be much higher

I compiled it myself from the github repo.

Is there any chance you could pm me with a link to it if you can upload it? Or even email me it?

I really want to start mining it and I can not for the life of me get it to compile

I'm not sure if the dev wants unofficial binaries posted publicly, so I've PM'ed you.

[bathrobehero]

use these compiled installation prerequisites with Visual C++ 2010 SP1.

cudaminer_vc2010_prerequisites.7z (49.3 MB)

this should be decompressed using 7-zip right next to the folder "CudaMiner" (or whatever you named your checkout directory).

I've spent a few hours gathering and trying different versions and when I was about to give up, a man came down from heaven and gave me everything I needed!  

[bigjme]

Is it working? Can you send it me please? The one relm9 sent me has lots of dll missing errors. Can you send it as a pm or email? My pc is sitting ready and waiting

This 6 minutes between posts in a killer!

0.44 khash/second on a GTX 570 with scrypt-jane lol.  At least I got you a share on the yac pool

I want to try mining yacoin over night so I can post my results tomorrow but I still dont have a miner sadly

I want to try mining yacoin over night so I can post my results tomorrow but I still dont have a miner sadly

Here's a somewhat basic overview what I did to compile it:

1) Install visual studio 2012 express (free from microsoft)
2) Install the cuda 5.5 toolkit (free from nvidia)
3) Download libcurl source & read the README on how to build the library for windows
4) Download the pthread library for windows  - I downloaded prebuilt lib
5) Open visual c command prompt & build libcurl library  - I built static lib and included it in the exe
6) Clone the git inside visual studio
7) Edit the properties of the project to include the libcurl & pthread includes & libs
8) Build release
9) Profit from YAC!!~?  

Actually there are a couple of scrypt-jane coins out there now... but they might have different start times?  might need to make that an argument

[relm9]

My 780 results on yacoin. The -l param I was using with scrypt would give validation errors on scrypt-jane so I switched to autotune btw

Yes, I tried changing the start values for QQcoin but the hashes are really low... getting 53kH/s vs 1.8 MH/s on a 7970. Maybe it's just not calculating N right, not sure

[bigjme]

using this config on my 780 for solo mining i keep getting stratum_subscribe errors. does anyone know why?
cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt-jane -H 0 -i 0 -d 0 -l T12x32 -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3339

If solo, I don't think you'd be using stratum. Should just be http://127.0.0.1:3339

I get 21KH/s on the GTX 570, which is about 1/10th of what I get out of the modified ybcminer, but it probably has something to do with threads?  I haven't looked at ybc source but I can run multiple cudaminer instances and not take a hit on hashrate.

any ideas?

Error 401 - unauthorized
You need to add username/password to coin.conf and the same to cudaminer -u / -p

[bigjme]

cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt-jane -H 0 -i 0 -d 0 -l T12x32 -o http://127.0.0.1:3339 -u user -p pass

i literally copied the username and password out of my config file and still the same issue.

Code:

rpcuser=user  *your username here
rpcpassword=pass       *set you password here
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1        *this to mine from your computer
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*    *Put your local address here, is important

that you use * at the end, of the ip address to allow inncoming

connection from the whole ip range of your network.
rpcport=3339          *just type here i use 3339

same thing still

[bathrobehero]

I guess maybe you should clean it or try a different port

Code:

rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*
rpcport=3339

cleaning worked. so how come a  lot of people are only getting 3.2kh/s and im getting 80?
how do i turn on feedback so i know if its actually submitting anything or even working?
