YACoin Windows 7 x64 [SSSE3 and AVX support] / x86 miner

[CryptoMaster]

Does anyone know of a special miner build that has been optimized for ARM processors? Do ARM processors even have any instructions that are useful for hashing purposes?

I was kind of wondering if I could somehow put my Raspberry Pi board to work mining Yacs ... :-)

-Michael

You don't need a special build, you can compile the scrypt-jane minerd on ARM, though I needed to do a couple minor source code modifications so that it compiles.

In case you are wondering, it's not worth it, hash rate is (with current N=512) 0.23kh/s out of the box, 0.24kh/s after some ARM compiler flags

avx not working also with me how do i make it work?

it should work the same way as the SSE3 version, just faster. since your cpu has avx i dont know why its not working, maybe chipset drivers but thats another minefeild

[azwccc]

is there any ssse3 or avx supported cpuminer in linux?

Just compile it with the adequate flags:

Code:

./configure CFLAGS="-O3 -march=corei7-avx"

Thanks for the tip on ARM, I guess my Raspberry will be put to use doing more useful things :-)

Is anyone mining on http://yac.procrypto.com:8336 ?

I've been doing that all day, and yet no payout of any kind. My target address is not listed on the payout page either.

Is that normal with p2pool type mining pools? What should I expect?

Show me the line you are using to launch minerd.

My pool pays out pretty quickly after each block is found. If you've not been paid out all day, something isn't set up right.

Well, basically something like this:

minerd_scrypt_jane_x64.exe -o http://yac.procrypto.com:8336 -u Y8iGmHkz1FBv8yzB3Cd227a6n5Hu6MxTZ6 -p x -t 4

Thanks for responding by the way :-)

I checked the logs, I see you in there, it seems like you aren't getting any shares. I'll PM you and try and work it out - sorry for the thread diversion guys.

Ask God3 for the source. He made the windows binaries that support SSE and AVX.

Hello.
It´s posible to use this software for litecoin mining?


thanks....

No, the author focused on scrypt-jane which means yac. Might come in a future release.

I use i5 2320

This is what I got:

The screenshot is way differen than the screenshot that shows up on the front page. No hoo yay accepted, etc.

Do I need to have an account at yac.procrypto.com:8336 first? This is not working for me. At most I am getting 16khash/s here..

[Eli0t]

try adding -t 5 before the pool info, should give you a bit more, but the OP screenshot is a bit misleading now as difficulty is so high hash rate has reduced massivly. not sure the average time of a share now at 16khash, i gave up when it was in the 70's

UPDATE: getting 23 khash on my i5 2500 (stock) with 1 share after 3 mins, share after that was 5 mins later

I'm in the same boat with an i7 2700k.  I get about 4.8kHs/sec and I maybe get 1 or 2 accepted shares per block, if I'm lucky.  I was hoping to find a thread dealing with some way to optimize the miner so I could increase my accepted shares.

I guess I'm just annoyed at missing out on whole blocks because I couldn't even find a share in the x minutes it takes to get the block.  Not sure if there's something in particular I'm doing wrong. By the sounds of it I'm not though, and that's just the way it goes?

The answer is to mine solo. Then there is no such thing as 'stale share'. The only you should have configured is 'scantime' set to 1 sec (-s 1).
With current diff. on i7 you will get a block once in a 30h (on average). I've mined several blocks already... In a long run solo mining a bit more profitable and fun.
Also solo mining ideologically much better than pool mining, due to decentralization.

I've gotten some interesting results:

On an i3 (sandy bridge 3.1 Ghz) x64 machine, it was reporting over 250 kh/s using AVX! Alas, none of the 6000+ blocks (after running overnight) appeared in the p2pool I was pointing to (nor did my address).  Haven't had time to try another pool with that machine yet.

On an i7 (older) laptop (no AVX), it's reporting only 7 or 8 kh/s (using ssse3), lower than 'generic' minerd did (before the AV at work blew it away). I should add this is with the x86 version as we are still using XP  At least these are getting reported!

So was the 250kh/s a reporting error or is the i3 (or AVX) that amazing?  Similarly, is the i7's ssse3 that bad?

- well, now my i3 is running a 'normal' sub-14 kh/s rate on 3 different sites using either avx or ssse3

[forsetifox]

Is it just me or does the "--no-longpoll" switch not work?

no, it's just part of YAC algorithm: hash rate gradually decrease over time. But 64-bit AVX indeed faster (not so much as you think)

Maybe you have forgotten to add the -scrypt-jane flag.
