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

Oh come on, it is not everyday that your profit just increases 30 times. It is like jackpot already.

The block reward has been like forever >100k+, so a few days at 300k does not change anything
(and everybody are already holding millions...  )
anyhow the net hashrate has already doubled (that doesn't scare everybody)  

No you are wrong. It was around 10k yesterday @ block 310000. After this block this should change to 9999.9 but because of a bug in the code it becomes 310000.1
You know what happens after that.

yes, but it hasn't been at 10k for a very long time (compare to the time it has spent on the sub 100k zone)

hey, I've got a question about ccminer.  My 750ti rig doubles as a media center pc for the bedroom.  When using cudaminer I put the "-i 1" flag on it and it works totally fine for video playback.  Is there any way to do this with ccminer?  I'm currently happily mining JPC, but I can't watch shows while it runs.  Any solution to this?

Do you know if your motherboard has an integrated gpu, would be the best solution.

I am confused... did MNR already launched ?

Launched this morning with issues.

 It is supposed to be relaunched sometime around midnight CEST according to the devs...

@cbuchner1

Is it possible for you to put an updated wallet address in the first post of coinsfor C&C? That way we don't have to keep asking you and if we are mining different coins we can just send it. Or do you perfer one type of payment still like in your readme?

unfortunately, it does not, built this on a budget.  It's not TOO laggy, it's just has a noticeable element of stutter to it, I was hoping I could drop the intensity a bit or something.  ccminer seems to take the cpu into effect as well, at least trying to do other cpu intensive tasks hits the hash rates quite hard even on my main rig with a new i5.  It would be really cool if we had the h and i tags from cudaminer.

ok guys so i just noticed something on my jackpot coin mining system. I have 3 identical 750Ti's all mining at 3.1MH/s over at hashharder.com but strangely these are my submitted share rates of the cards

691
761
367

they were all started the same time, and as you can see, the 3rd card has only submitted about have the number of shares as the other 2. Has anyone else noticed this with their miner?

their all running separate instances so its very strange. Not me complaining just wondering if anyone else has seen this. my launch config is

Code:

ccminer50.exe -q -s 1 -a jackpot -d 1 -o stratum+tcp://www.hashharder.com:9958 -u JSmJ6NCiZo4gdLKGDkrySC8hHktrHe3WVH -p x

no point hiding wallet address if noone can login to it lol

[Chris84]

don't know, if the vote is passed to the hash which get submitted (didn't check) the hash won't get validated (nor recognised)
A simple hack, would be to just remove the part sending the vote...

block header size changes, input size to the hashes changes.

So we have to modify 5 hardcoded hash functions to take a different input block size.
Chris74 initially only modified 1 out of 5, thinking this would work.

Christian

okay, now we've got MNR hashing, but we broke HeavyCoin in the process. Meh.

Will take a bit until we can release this.

They change the block size because they remove the voting process? How many hope could they give from a clone while the original is barely alive. Meeh!

Has anyone managed to mine Saffroncoin on a groestl pool?  I was solomining it but considering trying a pool. 

Just saw this about ccminer shares not being compatible for some reason.

That's what I said 2 days ago.

I'm not really sure if this is in the actual ccminer, but I implemented a new Option: "-f" or "--diff". DwarfPool doesn't send you Shares with correct VarDiff, so you Need to divide your difficulty at your own. This new option will handle that: simply try adding "-f 256", if you wanna mine saffroncoin with dwarfpool.

may-be it is related to the difficulty and actually I wonder if it wouldn't be better to give a different address for each card... (?)

Hrm, I mine on cloudminers, so I don't know something about hasharder, but, you should remove the "-s 1", because it will stop the algorithm after one second. This is only needed, if you are not mining with stratum, because you won't get notified, if someone else found a new block. Stratum detects new blocks, so you should not use this switch...

i did not think about that, thanks christain

hmm im not sure if it would make a difference but i guess it could be messing up the diff for each worker?
be nice if that -f feature was in so i could force a diff

it seems the diff may be the reason why, just started again and card 3 seems to be given a higher diff, as hashrates stay more even and constant

cards 1 and 2 are fluctuating like mad from as low as 51khash/s to 4.1MH/s
again this resulted in card 3 having 250 shares submitted, card 2 has 450. i think we do need a diff command, or a way to calculate out diff and force it automatically maybe?

In my opinion, this difficulty adjustment makes only sense for pools, which does not set the difficulty for you. Not sure about hashharder... But, setting the right diffculty should be part of every pool....

Christian

[bigjme]

it seems to set very random diffs so i get random drops in hashrate

[Chris84]

I took a look into the sources of ccminer 0.7, the new option is not included. It will be in the next release...

[bigjme]

Thank you

I'm sorry if I missed this but when trying to compile this there are several things missing:
#include <openssl/sha.h> in heavy.cu
#include <pthread.h> in miner.h
#include <curl/curl.h> in miner.h
etc.

Is this covered anywhere in the docs/readme files that I missed?  If not would anyone tell me which version of these you downloaded?

It obviously would be easier if everything needed besides cuda 5.5 was part of the zip file to eliminate possibilities of mismatched libs etc.

[bigjme]

None of those are missing. Only some lib files which are linked to in the first post

[cayars]

I can't find them in https://github.com/cbuchner1/ccminer/archive/v0.7.zip

Never, mind just as you said mentioned in the OP post. Thanks for that bigjme!

For further releases might be a good idea to add this to the readme file also.

[bigjme]

No post 1 in this thread under pre-requisits or how ever its spelt xD

those are header files belonging to the packages you need to install before compiling cuda/ccminer
