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

[Thirtybird]

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

I think you might have picked the wrong algorithm on your i3.  I've got several machines I can report hash rates on, an i5, two (different generations) i7's, a Core2 and a dual Xeon.  The current fastest machine is my Coire i7 3610 (Ivy Bridge) and it gets around 24 KHash/sec (using 7 of 8 threads).  The Core 2 (which your laptop probably is) is around 6 KH/sec.  The others fall in between those.

Has anyone tried this with Haswell's AVX2?

I know the nfactor has destroyed these numbers, but I am still curious if AVX2 would make a difference

Why accepted rate is so low?

How to mine solo then?

And why my screenshot is different?

[karsy]

is there a way to download the miner allready compiled?

[smilez]

It is already compiled.

Work someone a x86 miner on Windows XP???

I wonder what is the best (= most efficient) CPU for YAC mining (= scrypt-jane algo) at the moment? Is Quad Core preferred over Dual Core?

I'd like to assemble a sweet little YACoin Miner and have an older Asus P5B Deluxe board (Socket LGA775) with Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800 on hand.

So, should I stick to the X6800 or upgrade to an E8600 (dual core)/Q9650 (quad core) for best mining performance? TIA!

I'd love to see that...my next cpu will be a 4770k.
I guess someone would have to create a new avx2 optimized miner, right?

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

ok possibly best Avatar ever. AGD

One more request for Haswell AVX2 support...

cpuminer for scrypt just released AVX2 version which is 85% faster...

Why can't I start -avx on neither machine? Win8 64bit-
1)C2D T7500-0,60kh/s
2)Celeron IB G1610-1.02kh/s
3)Pentium D960-0.2kh/s
on all 3 of them only sse2 or ssse3 but no avx?

Well, those cpus don't have AVX instruction sets, google the model and look at cpu-world or intel ark info.

Guys I need some help!

I have reinstalled windows and there is no way to sync the wallet. I have tried -resync and -rescan but nothing. Trying for 3 days strait and my wallet cannot be syncronised. Same is for 32 and 64bit one, it just come to the some point and stops, no sync no activity just stands there. Removed, several times, all yacoin data from win registry and folders, but nothing helps. Please help!!!!

May be you should ask your question here:
