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

[Bombadil]

Since which ccminer version is this implemented?

any version thats used x11. i use standart variables from ccminer. i just compile last ccminer to one file for my 660ti and 750ti and implement small check for huge wrong hashrates (sometimes occurs crash) thats all changes  

Yeah, it just checks if the nicehash worker is running (-r 0 makes it do no retry if stratum failed), if it doesn't, it gets replaced by the failover. After a certain amount of time, it rechecks nicehash for the required price and hashes at it as long as it's above.
I sent you a PM, zelante, can you check it?

[bromstar]

meh im too lazy to switch over and hope for a steady price

What do you mine?

Thanks.
What do you think is a good price to switch over to dark or something else? 1.5 BTC?

at that moment i switch to dark coin and set p=2.60;d=0.01 (this is good for my 660ti + 2x750ti)

What do you mine?

right now, x11 and curecoin

If i can believe the profitability calculation of coinmine.pw you can only make about 1.1 BTC with dark per GHS.
So ill set mine to 1.6 BTC.

I've been trying to get the newest version of ccminer running to mine darkcoin with my GTX750Ti to no avail. my batch contains "ccminer50.exe -t 1 -a x11 -o east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:8001 -u user -p pass" and I ensured my AV is disabled. the command line sits idle for a bit after starting, then states "HTTP request failed: Operation timed out after 30577 milliseconds with 1198 out of -1 bytes received" followed immediately by "json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds". the GTX750Ti is compute 5.0 so I'm assuming I should be running ccminer50, but even so I've tried all the compute level versions with no luck. Any help you guys could provide would be great, thanks!

You need to add "stratum+tcp://" before your url. So it should be "-o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:8001", without the quotation marks ofcourse.

I'm an idiot... how did I miss that? haha! Thanks a ton, I was scratching my head for a while there.

at the same time? whats the performance / profitability?

[bigjme]

My 3 750Ti's are on x11, my 780 is on curecoin. Expects around 0.033btc a day. So around £10 ($16) a day

[bromstar]

which x11 coin gives such nice profit?

[bigjme]

The bulk of the profit is my 780. The 750Ti's are earning about 0.012btc a day. Havent done a full day yet to be sure though

you mean x11 [xc]? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=600706.0

[bigjme]

i mean selling my x11 hashrate, not mining anything specific
just did a recalc, my 780 is earning about 0.015BTC a day, my 750Ti's are earning about 0.013BTC a day

so daily earnings are around 0.028BTC, with a power usage of ~350W (0.005BTC)
Profit: 0.023BTC (£6.10 $9.10)

hey, is there some kind of tutorial explaining how one would sell one's hashrate using ccMiner?

If not, would you or someone else consider putting one up on cudaminers.net?

Also please highlight the deficiencies of cudaMiner for such applications, so that we can fix
them at a software level. Would porting the failover support from cudaminer to ccminer help?

Christian

[bigjme]

Failover support would be nice. Im not entirely sure how i would use it though.

Its really simple christian. You just need a bitcoin address and go to nicehash.com

I guess i can create a tutorial for it tomorrow? It wont be very long though

[Bombadil]

Ok, me and Zelante have teamed up to support the failover .bat solution he found for Nicehash. You can find it @ https://github.com/KBomba/failover-ccminer-bat
We changed a few things since his last release, and testing is busy. But it seems to work flawlessly for now

Selling your hashes @ Nicehash is pretty simple. You just point your miners to their stratum and they do the selling.
You can set a minimum price for those hashes (per BTC/GH/DAY), and that's where Zelante's .bats come in to play. If you set (-p p=2.6) the price as minimum 2.6BTC/GH/DAY, it will disconnect from the stratum. In those failover .bat that disconnect will result into a complete shutdown of the ccminer.exe for Nicehash. This is caught, and the failover .bat launches. After some time it will try to reconnect to Nicehash, if the price is good, it will succesfully launch, and the failover ccminer.exe will get killed.

dont forget a switch to cudaminer@scrypt@nicehash
maybe sometimes the earnings will be better there compared to x11...

[bigjme]

Yeh, build a nice profit switching failover, that would be awesome. Be better if they had an api to check

Guys from nicehash prepare nice FAQ https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq

[bigjme]

im working on the x11 selling tutorial as we speak christian, pretty late but who cares

[djm34]

something I don't get with nicehash. (not entirely sure if it's really profitable... I guess I will have made a little more than 0.01btc/day without the R9 still on curecoin... but not for long as the payout decreases together with the exchange rate...)

So people are paying nicehash to rent hashrate. So it has to be profitable to them.
nicehash has also to make a profit...

So wouldn't be more profitable to run without nicehash ? (since everybody makes a profit, it means that mine could be higher... make sense ?)
