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

I stated Panda also... Does anyone here keep their coins? Or they exchange them at once? Do you think any of these altcoins have any real future? Like BTC and LTC? (off topic but still its a slow day :p)

titties might have a real future... as far as milking is concerned... not sure as coins though...

I agree on Titties. The concept is great and the appeal is massive. Going back to motorboating Titties after this PANDA profitability stops.

So noone keeps his coins? I decided to keep them for the long run... even if they dont go up or lose some value it's like putting money on the side for future use...

I am keeping my Titties and selling everything else for BTC. Ultimately this is all about amassing BTC for the future (at least for me).

I wouldn't wait too long with the btc either...

I tried some days ago to use Nsight to run cudaminer in case it could help for the tuning, but it just crashed.
Is it possible to use it with the release or will it only work with the debug version

Ain't nobody got time for that! 

Let's put some pressure on this then, shall we? I promise the following:
In exchange for a working, malware-free GPU riecoin miner which is significantly faster than CPU mining and works with Nvidia (integrated to the cudaminer would be optimal) I promise to donate to the creator:
-10% of what I mine in the first 24 hours
- 5% what I mine in the second day
- 2% what I mine on 3rd day
- 1% for days 4-31
Scrypt hashrate comparison 350 kh/s

Anyone else in? quote this with +1/ I'm in and I'll add you to the list. Post your scrypt hashrate for reference and I'll keep updating the total donation promise to this post. lets see how much we can get!

+1

Got a GTX 780 at home...716kg/s mining scrypt, 325 mining vertcoin, 203mh/s max, 5.33kh/s yac and 420kh/s UTC.
If anyone can do this, I'm sure it's cbuchner1.

716khash/s mining LTC!!! am only getting a range from 450kh/s to 590kh/s and a rare few seconds of 630kh/s. Ive been using autotune and the launch config are usually T12x24 or T24x24 or between these 2 numbers. Any guidance would be great.

I'd say don't mine scrypt! :p
Consumption is too darn high, nvidia shines mining different algos, say scrypt-jane, variable n factor scrypt and whatnot.
You'd make more money mining ultracoin anyway.

Christian, I have a few questions...trying to understand everything better.

I was reading this thread: http://yacointalk.com/index.php/topic,530.0.html, and wondering what to expect from the new Maxwell GTX 750 and 750ti cards.
They have 640 cuda cores, which are 35% faster than previous gen cores and 2gb worth of vram, gddr5 memory. They can clock as high as 1350mhz core and 7600mhz mem, easily without touching voltages apparently, whilst using only 60w at full load (stock)

How would you say thirtybird's logic applies to nvidia cards and cudaminer? Low lookup gap and low amount of shaders, higher intensities (how would that translate into cudaminer?).

I'm looking forward to getting a few of these new cards, or seeing someone else test this.

I believe they will be excellent YAC miners. In fact they will be excellent for any kind of mining, power efficiency wise. They just need to come in numbers in order to matter in terms of total hash power. I will not you the expected numbers per chip, but best to wait for official press releases and articles tomorrow. I know about several members of the press who have used cudaminer as a benchmarking tool.

Maybe ASUS or other companies will decide to put two of these puppies on one graphics card (like the MARS I bought, just a bit more power efficient). The nVidia GRID K1 and 340 series is WAY out of our price range (but I find it likely they are going to replace GK107 and GK104 with their Maxwell equivalents).

ARRGH, so close for first day mining... Just 398 missing.   ---> PvgtxJ2ZKaudRogCXfUMLXVaWUMcKQgRed   Anyone?

I found a MAX pool that does not properly weight the share difficulties and basically only counts total submitted shares, they use vardiff that starts fresh with each connection and re-calcs after 60 seconds, but during that first run I can get 200-400 shares submitted and make 5-7% of the mined block...

The --time-limit command takes a REALLY long time to close out, anywhere between 5-30 seconds, normally this won't be much total down time if you are doing a 30 minute cycle but it can be a very large chunk of time if you are doing a 60-80 seconds restart time...

I've written a batch script to kill and restart CUDAMiner every 60 seconds, this ends the process and restarts very quickly with very little perceivable downtime. For thos that are interested...

Win Vista and higher only due to use of TIMEOUT command.

Code:

@echo off
set app="cudaminer.exe"
set limit=60
:start
  start "" /min %app% -i 0 --algo=keccak -R 2 -L 256 -l K1022x32 -q -C 2 -o stratum+pooladdress -O workername:password
  timeout %limit%	
  taskkill /im %app% /f
goto start

Much faster turnaround in Windows.

@Christian - Not sure why it takes so long for the --time-limit command to shut down CUDAMiner, might be worth looking into.

I used --time-limit on a Linux machine for worker hopping. There shutdown and reinitialization was really fast.

But there are still some issues under Windows in particular. Also after pressing CTRL-C... it just takes forever
for the stratum thread to terminate, it seems. Maybe it is blocking on a read call.

not exactly good sportsmanship

Nope, but like most of the MAX pools out there they are still fixing and adjusting a lot of the code for MAX and it will eventually be fixed. I'll just go back to Middlecoin at that point

Beside looking at share vs hash rates on the pool it's obvious i'm later to this game then a few people with much higher base hash rates, lol

I could tell you about more MAX pool vulnerabilities, but I've promised someone I won't

[cbuchner1]

I've just built my first wallet myself: Blakecoin-Qt. The blakecoin web site has a good summary of the required dependencies for Ubuntu 12.04

building it was then really just a matter of qmake bitcoin-qt.pro && make

With the same dependencies it should be possible to build pretty much any of the bitcoin/litecoin/yacoin clones.

Ha! You know too much!

Did you ever get that 398 panda to reach 100k?

Bad business airing dirty laundry like that so I won't blame you for a thing

I have already told the admins about this issue, they know it's a problem, it's on a list of things for them to fix, but they are being cool and not threatening or banning peeps right now. No doubt it will be patched in a few days at the latest.

nope, I am still a sad Panda.

Sent! Don't worry! Be happy!

haha, thanks. I am over 100k now.

Be sad no further !

Ty for the work on cudaminer

Happy Hashing

[achillez]

can we get darkcoin support with cudaminer?

[cbuchner1]

can we get darkcoin support with cudaminer?

I've had a quick look at their wallet repo and it seems they are using a mix of various hashing functions.

I'd rather focus on just one hashing function at the moment - hence I am going to have a go at BlakeCoin.
