[ANN][SRC] Securecoin | A Fast and Secure Version of Bitcoin | 2013

[Aleks_Vid]

Hi! I checked src.coinmine.pl. Started tab in "Getting Started" have a link to a miner https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=260031.0. I download "Windows Qt wallet", but it not work - the window of "quarkcoind.exe" closes immediately after launch. What am I doing wrong?

open securecoin-qt.exe instead

I opened securecoin-qt.exe and what next?

i just realised where that link went, feeleeps getting started for SRC points to the quarkcoin ANN thread, i guess he used the same template for his QRK pool

you want the securecoin wallet from this thread and the QRK miner from here
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9cvOfoOekSdVzZZcThLZHg4bjA/edit?pli=1

and a bat file with the following
minerd -a quark -o stratum+tcp://src.coinmine.pl:6020 -u YOURWORKER -p YOURPASS

use -t to set the number of cores, eg for 4 cores
minerd -a quark -t 4 -o stratum+tcp://src.coinmine.pl:6020 -u YOURWORKER -p YOURPASS

I  downloaded this folder. In the folder are the following files:

libcurl-4.dll
minerd64_avx.exe
minerd64_sse2.exe
minerd64_sse3.exe
minerd64_sse4.exe
pthreadGC2-w64.dll

minerd64_avx.exe - does not start, minerd64_avx.exe...minerd64_sse4.exe - write the following text:

[2013-09-05 20:56:47] HTTP request failed: Failed connect to 127.0.0.1:9332; No error
[2013-09-05 20:56:47] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

it repeats every 30 seconds.

Your trying to solo mine with the wrong port, use what was posted above you to succeed in pool mining (or correct your rpc port for solo).

Interesting discovery: I've found that on my system I can't use more than about 50% of my cores before I run into some kind of bottleneck when mining Securecoin.

See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=216672.msg3089740#msg3089740 but here is what I'm getting:

setgenerate true 1: 36Kh/s, 101% CPU (61% idle)
setgenerate true 2: 69Kh/s, 198% CPU (52% idle)
setgenerate true 3: 98Kh/s, 290% CPU (35% idle)
setgenerate true 4: 115Kh/s, 366% CPU (27% idle)
setgenerate true 5: 90Kh/s, 360% CPU (26% idle)
setgenerate true 6: 68Kh/s, 283% CPU (35% idle)
setgenerate true 7: 47Kh/s, 262% CPU (39% idle)
setgenerate true 8: 46Kh/s, 259% CPU (37% idle)

This is with a dual quad-core 2.8GHz Xeon. I'm hitting a limit of about 120Kh/s, and this seems to be regardless of whether I run multiple instances in virtual machines, use CPUminer, or whatever. I'm curious what the bottleneck might be.

To be clear: by using various schemes (CPUminer, multiple instances in virtual machines) I can get my CPU usage up over 700% (as mentioned before in this thread.) What I can't do is get any more hashes out of it than I can with half my cores running. Any ideas what the bottleneck might be?

Are you using the quark miner? (I use sse3 version)

My 8350 runs faster each core I add, up to 960kh/s in total (120 per core).

not sure what's happening with yours.

I see no difference to this 120KH/s cap whether I use Neisklar's quark fork of cpuminer or the miner built in. I haven't successfully compiled either the CPUminer or the Qt client myself.

Jesus, 120Kh/s per core, huh? I guess my old Xeon really is a relic. As mentioned, I get 36Kh/s per core with a little bit of diminishing return for each core up to my total of 120Kh/s at 4 cores if I use the built-in miner. CPUminer gets me 18.5Kh/s per core for a single core but again tops out before a total of 120Kh/s.

What sort of rates do you get with Scrypt hashing on that thing? I'm getting at best 7Kh/s per core.

I was wondering if it could be my old DDR2 RAM gumming up the works.

I have an old q6600 with ddr3 RAM on a shitty motherboard, that gets 80kh/s per core (it is overclocked mind) - I don't think it's your RAM.

The only other CPU coins i've mined are quark and primes - they don't relate to scrypt - I did briefly mine pennies and was getting 1.2mh/s on the 8350.

I can't think what your problem is, but i'll carry on thinking about what may be causing it.

EDIT: Are you using the ' -a quark' tag in your miner?

If I weren't I'd be getting nothing at all.

My guess is that I will need to actually get the CPUminer to compile rather than using premade binaries. Its probably not related to the RAM—my i7 also gets about 34Kh/s per core. Lower clock speed than the Xeon but it's three years newer.

Which CPUminer fork is it that you're using? I'll start with that and then take my build questions over to the development forum.

With the sse3 version - it doesn't seem to make a difference which sse#, it's just avx that doesn't work for me.

I just slapped a phenom x 6 black 1100t in one of my GPU mining rigs,,,had a sempron 145 in it lol,,,at stock, 3.3ghz i am getting 140 K/h per core. so 840 in all. (only using 5 cores for src) I had this CPU sitting on a shelf for the last 3 months wondering what i would need it for..lol, so now it has a purpose PS: I will overclock it see if its worth it and let ya know....

[erundook]

SecureCoin is now listed at https://coinex.pw exchange and got a mining pool at https://coinex.pw/mining/pools/SRC

windows 7 64 bit with which miner?

It the p2pool working well?  Someone had and issue with my local rate but I'm not sure what he meant.

Hm.. I can't download the qt client, says that I need to enter a password. Same when I try to visit securecoin.org

I confirm that local hashrate graphs are broken. Watch payouts instead.
