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

[bigjme]

Wait its a java applet that creates files? does it even need a wallet?

[AizenSou]

Source is available and it's less than 1000 lines of code. Someone should be able to compile it in Windows for you. Sorry but I don't have Windows.

can you point me to the source? tnx

Plot range checker:

Plot merge tool(significantly reduce disk stress, very useful if you generate your plot in java so you could replot your plots in bigger stagger size with significant higher speed)

java isn't that bad... robots on Mars are operated in java

Java is not bad but for handling big memory task it's just not designed for it. LOL

once the HDD is fully plot , CPU will no longer be use ?

once the HDD is fully plot , CPU will no longer be use ?

so now, we say fully plot rather than full ?  

edit: clearly the reason I am not attracted to that coin which just write some mindless crap to hdd... (I don't need a coin to do that I can do it myself...    )
 if at least what was written had some use...

not sure if HDD is full will throw up

only if it is a roman HDD

Hmm scales with HDD capacity..

Is there a coin that scales with the Memory capacity too? (I know Memory Coin but that looks to be dead)
I have access to a PC with a lot of Memory.

shinycoin min mem requirement 32Gb (actually min mem requirement is strictly greater than 16Gb)

Yesterday I've tried to compile ccMiner like always ...

cd ccminer-djm34-0901
chmod +x configure autogen.sh

"This is easily fixed by adding at the end to Makefile.am"
AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = subdir-objects

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

... but now I get the following error

./cuda_helper.h(493): error: more than one instance of overloaded function "__shfl" matches the argument list:
            function "__shfl(int, int, int)"
            function "__shfl(float, int, int)"

You need to use cuda 6.5
I compiled it on aws (ubuntu 14) without any problem.
(using git clone rather than the zip file)
actually you can remove the line 489 to 497 in cuda_helper.h as it isn't used

with gpu you waste electricity, here you waste "space"

it still used but the % is tiny

[bigjme]

If you can select how much space to use per drive and which drives to use, i would consider it.
But i don't fancy dedicating a load of drives purely to that

Not mentioning that now that the coin made it to this thread the profitability is probably dead  

[bigjme]

very true, this thread is death to all profitable coins, and that probably isn't even a joke

too bad, it wasn't even an nvidia coin 

[bathrobehero]

While you can have plots with specific sizes and directory linking might work, I think I'm too late to go further into this coin. I can't imagine it's not way overpriced. I'm not sure if the plots are just solely for PoW purposes or they are eventually getting filled with data as people rent this cloud storage but if it would I can't imagine my 2 Mbps upload speed would very much like it.

On another note, you guys might want to check up on good ol' maxcoin and get some before the reward decreases essentially 1/6th of what it is now even if it's only going to end up being one big pump.

Also, I'm curious how many of you will jump on the 900 series cards solely for mining considering how terrible the altcoin scene for miners is lately.

very unlikely, because hdd consume next to nothing, compared to gpu, it's still very profitable and always will be, unless the value reach 0 or something

i mean 1 3tb hd consume 6w lol

[tarzanbigcity]

I would much rather waste hdd space than waste money for power. As far as returns go, hdd mining pays off in spades. Once you reach ROI on it, it becomes free money because your not paying for the upkeep of the system by paying inflated power costs every month. A Hdd consumes what 6watts at peak I/O? It scales fairly inexpensively. Also your not limited to 6 PCIe lanes like you would if you were gpu mining. Multichannel raid adapters allow you to keep expanding until your physical space runs out.

So you are buying something you don't need in hope to make ROI... that's kind of silly to me
I usually don't buy vast amount of space, because I know that each years the price decrease roughly by a factor 2,
so technically you are not making any money at all, you are just buying large HDD in advance you don't even need ignoring the
fact that you could have bought them in a couple of year for a quarter of the price...  

[tarzanbigcity]

Well your same argument applies to GPU mining. So why do people do it? Because its profitable to do so. Do they need that many GPU's for any practical purpose? No. If it became not worth it anymore then the drives can still serve other functions just as GPU cards do.
