Are we finding x11 very profitable right now?
Can anyone post their income per MH on which coin?

Im still getting 5 blocks a day solo'ing jackpot coin so my income right now is still almost 0.01BTC for 3 750Ti's

Cannot answer the profit question. Given the recent FPGA rumors, I guess you may have better odds when go with new X11 coins.

And I just followed Chris' call on Colorcoin. Again, I am late .... when I get there, it was just about 1hour after launch and difficulty was 22 already. Put 2 750Tis on solo, each around 1.5M without OC. Haven't seen any block yet. May allocate more cards there later but I don't see the potential of this coin yet.  Had mined Hirocoin with 290x in the past, but stopped that long time ago.  We'll see how x11 coins goes.  Now days all scrypt coins looks like "scam coins"... but look at numbers of x11 clones, I feel that it may fit in that category pretty soon. Maybe some devs with powerful FPGA just doing the scam pump and dump now. If you can ride the train and dump before them, you may make some profit.

As to Jackpot, I am surprised there are still so many people mines on it. May give it another try. I did not update the wallet in time and wasted quite some time on the wrong branch --- even at that time it was not even close to 6000 block forking yet.  I then stopped mining after wasted a couple of days. May consider switch back... :-).

we're making extremely good progress with the SIMD hash function here

NOTE: this one hash taken 50% of your hashing time in x11 so far

Christian

Yet I hear people are reprogramming old bitcoin FPGAs and LTC FPGAs to mine x11 coins, and keccak.
That wouldn't surprise me one bit, it's 100% doable with any of these new sha3 algos.

Amazing!

Do you include the new overclock friendly drivers and ccminer in the latest version?
I saw you posted a manual patch in your thread...

I've been away from the nvidia mining rig for a long time now, only have remote for now. Haven't been able to test your os, but it looks great.

Wow so much has changed since I last checked in!

Sent some token BTC along to C+C, thanks for your work so far

Im still getting 5 blocks a day solo'ing jackpot coin so my income right now is still almost 0.01BTC for 3 750Ti's

Looks to be about 0.002 - 0.0025 per 750Ti based on calcs. Not sure how power use compares to jackpot as I've not tried mining it. Beats YAC and SRC for set and forget for sure! With improved performance it will be brilliant.

Just wish faster Maxwell cards were out. My SLI 670s are due an upgrade... Wouldn't hurt to mine too hehe

Where are you seeing 0.002 per day? Best I can see is around .0014 I'd love .002...

[nomad1109]

I have two MSI's. One is at 1315 MHZ and the other 1200. Memory is on deffault. I get now 1500-1600 kHash per card. The difference because of clock speeds is minimal; around 40 khash. My config is the same as yours... Not sure why you get only 1280. I'm using separate instances for my cards if that helps.

Update on what I have found...

Running one instance of ccminer50 v1.0 per card for my first two cards works like a charm. First card is running at ~1780khash/s, and the second ~1670khash/s.

Firing up a third instance of ccminer, dropped both cards to ~1400khash/s per card, and if I killed that third instance off they would ramp back up to full power.

I had also discovered that having left jackpot-qt running (for the stake coins) was killing the hashing speed if I left it running on the miner, so I moved that over to my main machine off the mining rig. Not really sure why that was such a problem for the hash rates, but that was the first thing I discovered.

I tested running up to 6 instances of ccminer, and that ended up pegging my CPU at 100% anyhow, so not really conclusive other than I don't have a CPU in the miner good enough for that (1150 socket 2.7GHz Dual-core Pentium Haswell, 8GB RAM).

So for now I am having two cards mine DRK, and have the other 4 sill solo-mining JPC for now... and that seems to not be slowing the DRK mining cards down at all having one other instance open running the other 4 cards.

Anyone running 5-6 cards mining x11 right now? or are most of you running just 2-3 cards?

Thanks for everyone's help and suggestions.

Just out of curiosity, I stopped my other coins mining rigs and dedicated 6 750Ti for X11 -- the new Colorcoin mining for 5 minutes.  Without any OC, I do see the average hashrate per card is around 1400Kh/s.  I have 2 cards on another machine mining for Colorcoin-- but they can mine around 1550Kh/s easily.  May stop that as well.  So far just have one block found since I haven't put too much resource on it. I personally feel it is another scam coin and don't want to bet on it.  It may not make the way to some decent exchange.

[Breadpudding]

cryptodragon,

Could you share your solo mining .bat file for colorcoin by chance?  I'm using a 750ti on Win 7.

I wasn't able to get it working properly since the conf settings they provided didn't have as much detail as the three other coins that i've solomined on.  I'm getting an error not able to connect to a server.

I was trying this as a .bat file:
ccminer50 -s 1 -a x11 -o localhost:15818 -u bitcoinrpc -p pass

and this as my colorcoin.conf

Code:

rpcuser=bitcoinrpc
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=15818
addnode=colorcoin.no-ip.org
addnode=188.226.255.202

Thanks!

Just find out that in Talkcoin chat, if you click the "B" for bold text by mistake, then it will cost you 10 TAC instead of 1. Normal chat just 1 TAC. Find it the hard way....LOL.  Stopped mining TAC after about 500 coins, it should cover the chatting for a while...

Try to answer but the system says I cannot post within 5 min.

Mine is slightly different, my wallet sync just fine, so I did not addnode manually. And I have maxconnection set to control connections to peers. That's it. 

One reminder is that, sometimes some wallet may not allow trigger windows firewall rule creation and you need to manually enable that if you cannot connect from another machine to your wallet but local connection works fine. I had such issue once.

As to ColorCoin, I only had 2 750Tis in solo mining, so far just has 1 block found.  I was late to the game when it was launched about 1 hour. And don't want to allocate too much resource.

I kinda like Quark algo mining after 0.9 release,  my miner processes seems more stable and less crashing (mainly because I may OC too much... sometimes it crashed say 10 hours later after I tuned OC settings).  I missed HVC much and hope they can recover... Summer is coming....

What become to the TAC we give when chatting ? Everybody chatting lose TACs so who is the big winner who receive all the TACs ?

[stacey2911]

Hey guys, just a quick question/request for assistance.

I own an Alienware with a 780m in it, as well as my desktop with a 750ti. Now before you tell me I shouldn't be mining on an Alienware, the cooling is just fine, so please don't lecture me.
My problem is that I've spent three days optimising/tweaking/overclocking both rigs for mining. The 780m is getting ~260 K/hashes, whilst the 750ti is doing ~320 K/Hashes. I don't understand how this is possible, when the 780m has just shy of 3 times the CUDA cores. Forgive me if this is a nooby question, I haven't been able to find answers anywhere.

I like to think I understand pretty well how the configs work, the letter signifies the kernel/compute version, first number is the number of SMX's, second is max warps per SMX, so i'm pretty sure the launch configs are pretty well optimised, if not as optimised as it can be.

My launch configs and clocks are as follows, any tips or info would be greatly appreciated.

The 780m is set as: Core Clock: 888 Mhz, Memeory Clock: 2500Mhz (5000 Mhz effective)
cudaminer -H 2 -C 1 -d 0 -i 0 -l K8x24 -o pool -O Workernameandpass
pause

The 750 TI is set as: Core Clock: 1411 Mhz, Memory Clock: 3300Mhz (6600 Mhz effective)
cudaminer -i 0 -H 2 -l T5x24 -o pool -O workernameandpass
pause


Edit: i forgot to mention this is for scrypt mining.

just bumping because I haven't received any replies yet.
