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

[DougB62]

I'm using a 780 and a 750ti.
reboot did nothing, other algorithms work fine, even fugue.
hvc is slow now and I don't get it. it used to work fine, with both versions of ccminer (only that v0.1 closed after mining for an hour or so)

shared memory? hmmm

This is going to sound bloody retarded, and I know this probably isn't it, but... Are you using precision? If so, and you have the Temerature/Power Target linked, it will slow down... My 750ti slows whenever this is checked, even though it's only running at ~43-45 degrees.

Realize that's probably not it -

[ivanlabrie]

I am but I've been using it from day one and without making any changes to the system mining speeds went down recently.

If you want to mine Groestlcoin,  use ccminer v0.3 release

https://github.com/cbuchner1/ccminer/releases/tag/v0.3

This one does 20 MHash/s on 3 ASUS MARS ROG cards on Linux.
That's six GTX 760 cores by the way. I solo'ed 4 blocks within 8 hours.

Unfortunately we were a little late this time and phm has published
an AMD miner much earlier (2 hours after coin release)

nVidia may be looking quite OK compared to AMD this time.

hey, i've had problems with the v0.2 and v0.3 releases on my gtx 660ti

works fine on v0.1, but not with the newer versions...
the miner seems to just freeze in place not using any gpu power, and whenever i shut the window it says that it stopped working
i'm solo-mining fugecoins
is it a problem with the binary?
is the new version exclusive to some types of gpu's?

[liomojo1]

I gave it a try , 1 750 ti makes 3150khashes/s. But windows becomes very slugish 
Difficulty is 28 wowww

[cbuchner1]

I don't know. Which binary is it that you're running? 32bit? 64 bit?

Compute 2.0 or better is mandatory currently (thrust library needs it)

it's weird.. ran both on solo, they freeze
i run them for poolmining, no problems

I assume cudaminer honors reconnect requests because a quick 'grep shows that it has logging code for a reconnect message.  Given the man-in-the-middle/spoofing attacks going on with several of the pools, there should probably be a way to tell cudaminer not to accept reconnect requests when started with a particular command line flag, and optionally to log the reconnect data or report it in some way.

is there a thread where I can read more about man in the middle attacks with pool mining?

Hallo Christian,
I tried solo mining groestlcoin first time and ccminer also first time now.
Is it normal that its only showing "6 miner threads started, using groestl" and nothing else the last 20 mins?
Im wondering why its not showing the speed of my 6 750tiOC...
Im using your Windows binarys...

Thanks and greets from germany...

I've got 20 MHash here in a really expensive rig with 3 ASUS ROG MARS:

[2014-03-23 14:40:28] 6 miner threads started, using 'groestl' algorithm.

[2014-03-23 21:46:32] accepted: 4/4 (100.00%), 20065 khash/s (yay!!!)

And it takes me 2 hours on average to solo a block.

If you want more chatter, remove the -q option.

[christian1980]

... ah OK.
Ill let it run over night and check it again.

Thanks for your quick reply.

[shadypepe]

lol i'm getting 20% less rejects on crowncoin while playing battlefield on the same gpu

[djm34]

few test with groestl:

Using shared memory gave me 9.5Mhash/s (same as the R9 290x) however as for fugue the power drop to 37% after a while and stop working properly.

Then I recompiled without it with compute_20, The hashrate was around 7.7MHash/s with high tdp usage and high temp.
So I recompiled again with compute_35, I get this time  8.1MHash, with TDP of the order 83% and temp at 73°C (below my temp target).

So the shared memory really seems to boost the hashrate, but it is not stable on my card.

Are there any plans for an X11 implementation?

Was searching for new coins that I can mine with my CPU and ended up with DarkCoin which lead me to SPH-SGMINER to mine them on my Radeon cards fast and quite.

I would like to run X11 on my Nvidia Card in the future. (I am waiting on Nvidia to launch their new 800er desktop cards)

Hi Christian,

So how to start the miner to correctly mine ?

ccminer -a ?

Thanks

let me kindly refer you to the README.txt file - it has an example for solo mining groestlcoin.
Your wallet needs to be setup for solo mining, too (set user name and password etc...)

Ah, of course!  Silly me.  

Thank you, seeing about 27000 khash/s with 3x 780ti.

you might get a little more by specifically building for Compute 3.5
we're a bit lazy with this ccminer, but you get binaries at least.

some open source projects only dump source code and leave it
up to the users to build for themselves.
