[ANN] Credits(CRDS): CPU-only mining | Argon2d PoW - Masternodes

[loremipsum]

Hello everyone,
Is there a list with the suitable for mining CPUs available!?

I have a couple of windows PCs doing nothing with i3 and i5 processors and could help out a bit.

Let me me know.
Thank in advance.

PS I am kinda new here so please accept my apologies for not following any rules that I haven't followed.

I wouldn't recommend mining with an i3, better to wait until a pool it out. 2+ i5 would be ok, we don't have a CPU list but you can try mining and calculate your expected rewards by the formula in my previous post.

When can we expect first pools? At this diff, it's very hard to mine at least one block.

Its normal, difficulty is very high now. What are your hashes/sec?

here is all info
"blocks": 302650,

  "currentblocksize": 1520,

  "currentblocktx": 1,

  "difficulty": 0.2305703127748654,

  "errors": "",

  "genproclimit": 6,

  "networkhashps": 5766080.71908867,

  "pooledtx": 1,

  "testnet": false,

  "chain": "main",

  "generate": true,

  "hashespersec": 26149

~675CRDS are mined per day. So you can calculate the daily reward by the formula (675 * block reward * n)/(totalnetworkhashrate), where n = your hashrate ie. 675*10*26149/5766080 ≈ 30 coins. So, you would expect to find 3 blocks every 24 hours. In practice however, the hashrate fluctuates and is usually higher than that so I think you would get maximum of 1 or 2 blocks every 24hrs.

Ifso little coins are released each day the coin will be worth a alot more. It is rare and is undervalued right now.

It is indeed undervalued. Some new developments will be announced today or tomorrow.

where is the mining tutorial?

where is the words dictionary/meaning...
-masternode=<n>?

what is a master node?
name should be separated looks like mastermode.
do i need master-node to mine?
what is the advantage&disadvantage of master node?

guiminer-scrypt will work? NO.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=150331.0
this CPUMiner will work?
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=55038.0
GUIMiner standar?
https://guiminer.org
https://bitcointalk.org/?topic=3878.0
guiminer-20121203 uses poclbm miner, that has the

getwork

command,
Credits CRDS needs

getblocktemplate

...
= incompatible with older CPU miners.

where is the mining hardware comparison chart?
where is the wiki FAQ?
https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Non-specialized_hardware_comparison

Dogecoin was easyer.
https://www.reddit.com/r/dogemining/

credits-qt.exe -server -rpcuser=user -rpcport=31050 -rpcpassword=pw -gen -genproclimit=-1

That´s it?
-server and -gen are conflicting arguments?

START MIXING Should be On another place, Looks like:
START MINING.

confusing.!

Any news regarding listing on Exchange? Coinsmarkets does not work and there is no other exchange for buying or Selling CRDS.

About the 2018 road map? Or some recent progress?

Where is the Bug Report Forum?

i was mining, screen shutdown and
credits-qt.exe crashed.

Windows 8.1x64 Pro Latest Build.
i have WakeUp Timers Active in Power Options.


This has the same problem as Sia Coin? that Block Reward is Given 24hours later? "140 blocks later"

this software crashes too much, remembers me of Bitcoin-qt 0.3.x
probably priority is too low, when the wallet and the miner are in the same PC/CPU.
my guess; use 1-core less "force /afifinity hex for the wallet" or use another PC for the wallet.

used another PC for the wallet,
and a different PC for the CPU miner,
both Windows8.1x64

mined ok for a second, closed the Miner[ x ] in 1 PC, and the credits-qt.exe crashed in the other PC, like magic. LOL. Jajajajajaja

There will be a Credits (CRDS) airdrop starting this week. A maximum of 200 users will be accepted for this airdrop. Each application will be reviewed individually and each user that is accepted will be given 250 CRDS.

More details will be given this week!

i want to mine my own credits, 1.1.1.0 is incompatible with Windows8.1x64

That's great to hear hopefully it will bring more exposure to credits,
Will there be any terms to be included in the airdrop?

[JuanPabloCuervo]

#1. the Wallet Mines internally, No Jason-RPC Calls.

-server -gen=1 etc...

#2. the credits-qt.exe --help is wrong:

-gen
Generate coins (default: 0)
-genproclimit=<n>

should be:

-gen=
Generate coins (default: 0)
-genproclimit=<n>

#3. The Wallet 1.1.1.0 does Not mine with Latest External CPU Miner in Windows8.1x64
like:
pooler-cpuminer-2.5.0-win64
-qt.exe Crash!!! Always.

#4. Wallet 1.1.1.0 does Not mine with older CPU Miners, like GUIMiner-20121203 poclbm.exe because the getwork command is too old.
....
#5.
is there other external CPU Miners?
poclbm "too old"
pooler "crashes -qt.exe"
...
#6.
What Happens if i have multiple cloned Wallets Open at the same time in different PC´s, in the same Network with different IP, mining at the same time to the same address?

#7.
cgminer 2.9 binaries CPU options are deprecated, not included in binaries!

CPU only options (deprecated, not included in binaries!):

        auto            Benchmark at startup and pick fastest algorithm
        c               Linux kernel sha256, implemented in C

cgminer v3.7.2 seems to have completely removed CPU options...
don´t know exactly what is the latest version with CPU mining between v2.9 and v3.7.2

#8. BFGMiner 5.5 also has CPU options disabled.

Thats right there are no JRC calls at the moment and no external miner, only the in-wallet miner. There is a bounty for the generation of an external miner (15K CRDS). If you need help or you want to know more you can join us on Discord. The 2 devs are there

[encryptblockr]

is this project still live?
why isn't this listed on any masternode website?

just found out about it today

[JuanPabloCuervo]

i also just found about it, i´m mining right now with a 32-core dual AMD CPU, All cores at 99% = it´s a true 64-Bit miner.

Some 64-Bit softwares are Not true 64-Bit,
some are 32-bit encapsulated in a 64-Bit shell, others need/have some parts of the code in 32-bit, usually need Visual x86 .dll´s, installed.

for example: WinRAR 5.4,
if i start WinRAR built-in Benchmark with 32-cores, the cores work at 50%, like there is only 1-cpu/half the cores.
but if i start WinRAR with /AFFINITY hex, set to 31-cores works ok.

i´m editing a video about More Cores vs. Faster Cores... will upload to YouTube at the end of the week.

Credits Wallet 1.1.1.0 Only works with built-in Internal Miner, has a console Benchmark

getmininginfo

...
pooler-cpuminer-2.5.0-win64, almost works with Credits Wallet in -server mode.
also has a benchmark but gives totally different results.

pooler-cpu scrypt miner must be modified with the Wallet Argon2 algorithm. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argon2
or the Wallet Miner should be cut&pasted out of the wallet, and make a stand alone version of the wallet miner.
internal miner works ok, No problem, true 64-Bit.

Mining with a 64-Core / 128-Thread dual AMD Epyc CPU should be awesome.
https://www.amd.com/system/files/2017-06/AMD-EPYC-Data-Sheet.pdf
to test the limit of parallelizm of the Wallet Miner Code...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law
so far, with 32-REAL cores seems to be 1% serial + 99% parallel.

HyperThreading only improves +30% best case scenario, with pooler-cpu scrypt miner / Scrypt algorithm seems to be less than +1O%.
HT-Active performs worse with low latency, fast action, low buffer size Apps/SW.
