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

[djm34]

ok, took the plunge in trying to learn to compile the ccminer source in windows and ran into my first roadblock.  Trying to open the ccminer.sln in Visual Basic 2010 (sp1) and it says it can't open the .vcxproj because it's not supported.

Do I have the wrong Visual Studio?  I went 2010 Visual Stdio Express and chose (Basic).

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I have no problem clicking the vcxproj (this is what I usually do)  may be try clicking the ccminer.sln

edit: by visual basic you mean visual studio (you need c++) ?
If not it is visual studio which is needed not only visual basic (even less as it is a c/c++ project)

Argghhh, my visual studio 2010 professional trial expired.

Hmmmm, can someone compile it for 750 ti. Purty please.

You can actually use Visual Studio 2012 Express to compile it, or that's what I've been using at least.  I have 2 770's so once I open the project
file ccminer.vcxproj I go to debug I think it is then ccminer settings and change compute35,sm35 under the cuda settings to compute30,sm30
(but keep it as compute/sm35 if you have maxell) then I make sure it's compiling for 32-bit machine code. Save those settings.

I also compile it as release win32 because I haven't had a ton of luck compiling ccminer 64bit and hasing properly...then just build and it should build fine but also make sure to change the #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI flag to 0 if you have a kepler etc board.  You can use the replace all feature in VS to do it really quickly just copy and paste.

The express version is a free download from Microsoft, just google it.  You only have to install the C/C++ part of it.

Oh yeah, also make sure you've extracted the pre-built binary prerequisites linked in the OP into the projects folder for VS in your my documents folder (at least by default).

[djm34]

here some binaries (only the exe)
http://www66.zippyshare.com/v/926349/file.html (the usual dll are needed)

the file ccminer_v11_gtx780ti.exe   is compiled with x86; compute 3.5; fermi/maxwell flag set to 0
the file ccminer_v11_gtx750ti.exe   is compiled with x86; compute 3.5; fermi/maxwell flag set to 1

you are highly encouraged to move to the official binaries when there will be out tomorrow (I don't exclude possible omission of some fermi/maxwell flag in the 780ti version

[CodyF86]

Here's for a 770 and should be fine with 670 etc also.

compute30,sm30 & MAXWELL_OR_FERMI 0

http://www15.zippyshare.com/v/56193063/file.html (x86)

try out the X11 in the github repo, maybe? does it build on Linux too (run ./autogen.sh)?

A proper binary release might follow after I caught some sleep.

Thank you for that. More munitions for the CCminer Army!

[djm34]

by the way, is this the optimized version of X11 or shall we expect something faster soon ?
Anyhow, I have able to find 5 blocks of juggalocoin (2 by the 780ti, 3 by the R9)

[noobminerd]

670/660ti 1.7 mhash windows build few post behind

[cryptodragon]

Finally get my rig setup to mine Talkcoin -- just for fun and want to say hi to you guys. Have 2 blocks mined.. but still wait for mature.

[cryptodragon]

Start mined BTQ ... yeah, I know I was late, .

I thought Quark has quick transaction time(8 seconds?), but when I tried to send 2 blocks to 13GFwLiZL2DaA9XeE733PNrQX5QYLFsonS, it took quite some time to process....

[nomad1109]

Anyone having any luck mining DRK at suchpool?

I am using the binaries that DJM provided and cannot get my cards to not crash at all...  Basically the same settings I was using on Groestlcoin (+89/-502).

Don't have much time to play with it tonight, but the first round of hashes before it crashes the drivers I see about 800khash/s from each card.

Anyone have to adjust their settings? going to try 0 OC next and see if that will even stay up for 20 secs.

Seems a bit slow with 6x 750ti unless I am missing something.


ccminer_v11_gtx750ti -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://stratum1.suchpool.pw:3335 -u user.miner -p pass

All that is with +0/+0 OC settings.

I'm getting about 1650ish with a Gigabyte 750Ti on the same pool.

I tagged the v1.0 release and uploaded a binary.

Donated a bit of JPC.
I feel Spoetnik has his own smear campaign towards ccminer for some reason, he keeps bashing every comment regarding nvidia jackpot mining. For instance he claims that the miners report false hashrates etc - Although if they do, they fool the pools too then since I see the same average hashrate on the pool side on graphs :p Any official comments on this?

the Jackpot algorithm has a bit of randomization in terms of which hash function shall be taken. There's three rounds in total with a random choice of either Groestl or Skein,  followed by a random choice of either Blake or JH. The slowest hash functions are Groestl and JH.

I am dropping Groestl hashes in the first round (50% of all hashes), and Groestl hashes in the second round (50% of the remaining hashes), meaning 25% of all Hashes remain. The reported hash rate is hence divided by 4 to make the results correct. The overall effect is still a notable speed gain over doing the slow Groestl in all rounds.

Since every hash is like a lottery ticket with equal chances of winning, it doesn't matter if you drop a certain subset of hashes. All that matters is that you evaluate as many hashes per second as possible, increasing your chances of winning. So I prefer to evaluate the faster hashes only.

Spoetnik doesn't know what he's talking about. Also he's already on my ignore list, so he can trash talk whatever he wants.

...thanks a lot for x11!
I will send you both a little something in old school BTC

[Legionnairez]

Did I understood right, the hashrate displayed on ccminer should be divided by 4 to get the "real" hashrate? Your explanation was good otherwise.
Then again, the miner reports 4.4 Mh/s for my gtx 680, and the pool graph reports me around 4.4Mh/s, with 0-1 % rejects. So basicly I can say I have a hashrate of 4.4Mh/s? Or did I misunderstood something?

[cbuchner1]

it is already divided by the miner software. See the / 4?

here are the two places in code in jackpotcoin.cu

Code:

*hashes_done = (foundNonce - first_nonce + 1)/4;

and

Code:

*hashes_done = (pdata[19] - first_nonce + 1)/4;

so you get the true effective hash rate. And this wins over AMD.
