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

[bathrobehero]

Only putting Kekkac on the GPU would help. Considering that I have about 2 hours a day to spare, this is going to take a while.

Don't want to pressure you or anything, I was just curious because if everything works out as I planned, I'll be able to build my first mining rig and I'm not sure which way to go yet, but building a rig just for one coin doesn't seem smart.

Either way, I'm extremely grateful for everything you already did!

Maybe consider solo'ing to improve network health.

Or give yac.m-s-t.org some love.


On another note, I found an old thread which was funny when it was created, and now it's funny again for another reason.  

I already like this pool, no fees and autopayout whenever I want

Oh shoot! I'm being recognized on the internet! haha
I was actually just about to check that haha.
I seem to be getting more payout than ya.pool as well. This pool does have variable diff because I went from diff: 5 to 10 in the last 30 mins of mining haha
EDIT: actually it just seems like more because rounds in this pool take much longer to complete since its such a new pool with very little hashing power at the moment.

If I run Jane in a VM of Ubuntu on a windows host would this still give me windows stupid memory management?

Everyone's opinion will differ.  I have ~7KH/sec and prefer to use a pool.  

the problem with the only stratum capable pool for yacoin (yac.coinmine.pl) is: they currently control 80-90% of the hash rate.
Essentially if that pool operator went rogue, this would destroy Yacoin.

Look at the tantrum the bitcoin community made when one pool got close to 51%.

Maybe consider solo'ing to improve network health.

I agree, except i'm using a new pool that does support stratum.  yac.m-s-t.org

you could also use yacp.coinmine.pl if you were concerned about the monopoly (as I am as well)

Yes, you can't pass the gpu to virtual machine (not easily)

Will someone please help me find this 14-01-11 github version from the spreadsheet? I have a 640m.

I see you rising to the top of the charts :p haha

Two GTX 660's one doing 2.24kh and the other doing 2.55kh. I'd love to mine in this smaller pool especially with you guys if it pays well enough.

Everyone else in this thread should join! Kinda like the Cudaminer official pool

Yeah, except you're all chasing an AMD guy running YACMiner (cgminer based)   (and I have 1 more card waiting to go in, just need to short the PCIe slot detection pins)

....cheater... :p
I'm ordering two 280xs once amazon gets the MSI/ASUS ones instock

Average round time going down with a few new miners...but so are my estimated payouts...good/bad :p

Will someone please help me find this 14-01-11 github version from the spreadsheet? I have a 640m.

Ok I fixed this issue. I installed the CUDA 5.5 update, but I had to use the notebook drivers (I have an all-in-one 640M Windows 8 64-bit). I also installed the free version of Visual Studio through the link given to me when installing CUDA 5.5. I am using patoberli's build.

I am only getting 0.70 khash/s with these settings...

-a scrypt-jane -H 0 -m 1 -i 0 -C 2 -l K7x1 -o stratum+tcp://coinmine.pl:9088 -O user:pass

Use -C 0 and should help a good deal

Thank you manofcolumbia... is it worth playing with the -b batchsize setting?

Good question...not for me to answer since I just used what Christian suggested for a 660/ti

Christian,

Would it possible to add functionality to be able to signal a running cudaminer instance to toggle between interactive and non-interactive mode?

I'm thinking in a Linux environment, maybe trap SIGUSR1 (signal 10) or SIGUSR2 (signal 12) as a toggle, so if the process receives a signal it switches interactiveness to whichever state it was not previously in.

This is probably pure greedy self-interest on my own part, but I do also see in this thread a few people mentioning they switch modes when going to work or to sleep. Restarting the process causes some inactive minutes as the process does whatever it does as it starts up, so it would be nice to be able to just signal the process to gobble or ungobble GPU resource.

Clearly this is in the "nice to have" bracket on the list, but it would be nice to have

Read my mind, just had to restart the instance in interactive in order to watch an episode of HIMYM. But like you said its a thing that's just for convience.
