I have a question for the experts out there!

Is it true that over time graphics cards become less effective for scrypt-jane and CPU's eventually become the most effective way to mine?  I forgot where i read this !  somewhere on the forum i think. 
 

[trid]

solo mining I see 50/50 rejects right now, it's getting better

Second that, getting better

[billym2k]

The pool is improving now with the difficulty rise

I believe with scrypt-jane, as the difficulty increases, hash rate will decrease (something related to Nfactor?). I'm not sure that it makes cpu mining better in the long run though...

The pool works for me so far.

Rule of Acquisition #1
Once you have their money, you never give it back.

thanks dreamwatcher for the pool man.

IGotSpots recently about Copperbars said that the GPU had recently become 20-30% useless or was about too. Did not get that from my research of the other scrypt- jane coins though(Zzcoin,CENT,Freecoin,J-coin,Yacion, and Ybcoin).

Edit: So far I thought had to go to class today and Today is Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day!!!

Just wanted to pipe in about block explorers.

I am holding off a bit on releasing the GPL explorer as I have not been happy with the performance of the UFC and KED explorers.

However I have not done much to try and address those since I am so very close to releasing the milestone test version 3.5 of CCEIII.

Once 3.5 is ready for public testing, I will be moving all the test explorers (XPM, GLD, KED,UFC and GPL) to the 3.5 test version.

This version will be the final test version for all the basic explorer functions. Version 4 will bring all the extra features and 5 will bring in the API.

cool coin & pool     hard to make a mmcfe pool look unique but i really like it !

I have a question though,  I am using some yaminer (some modified cgminer) that i found on the yac thread,  I updated the settings  to include --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1377557876  and it's finding blocks and submitting shares, + i am getting paid at the pool.

 however the number of blocks that the yaminer reports is vastly different from the the blocks at the pool (orphans or accepted)

I wonder if the number of total blocks and money supply is correct.  Is it possible to have phantom blocks that are mined but never show anywhere?

Hey guys,

I enjoy the idea of a Star Trek inspired crypto currency.

In order to further grow the community support behind Federation credits, I started a
freenode channel for us.

The channel is #ufccoin on irc.freenode.

You can join us here at -->IRChat on #ufccoin...

enjoy!

1. The statistics on the pool site are going to be off for at least a day, especially with all the craziness that occurred at relaunch.  The "outer" cycle for statistics in mmcfe-ng is 24 hours. However, the stats are for display only and are completely septate routines from the payout routines. I am watching closely how the pool wallet grows, and right now it is appropriate.

2. The modified cgminer (yacminer) is kind of goofy in how to reports "blocks". The vast majority of the "blocks" are really shares. The same goes for the speed report. There are two ways to express difficulty, the CGminer way and true BTC difficulty. Whoever modified CGminer to work with YAC did not bother to correct the little things, and as such the display is kind of strange.

In short, give it 24 hours for everything to stabilize. Orphans are still high and there is still some wonkyness to the network.

I have a Sapphire 7950 OC Boost Edition clocked at 1250g/1750m/1250vddc/+20 TDP

The below gets me almost 600KH/s... using I 18 or I 20 pushes it to 1.4MH/s but the pool barely reports 1MH/s.

The last few commands in the line keep me under 1% invalids on the pool.

Code:

setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

ybcminer.exe --scrypt --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1377557867 -o stratum+tcp://gplcoin.com:8888 -u USER -p PASS --shaders 1792 --thread-concurrency 21712 --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --scan-time 1 --queue 4 --no-submit-stale -I 13

EDIT: I found 3 solo blocks in the time i dropped from the pool just before starting to type this post and now... getting LOTS better.

why PM?  better to discuss here! then anyone else with the same problem can see the response. and maybe they can solver their problem too.

I wish I could help but I have no experience!

[dreamwatcher]

I have a bit of good news!!

Instead of trying to get push pool to work......

I took a stratum capable cpu miner and gave it the ability to do scrypt-jane.

After a little more testing, I will release it on github.

dreamwatcher,

If it isn't too much to ask, can you compile a Win 64 binary for this? I was having trouble compiling one myself from the first git...

[dreamwatcher]

I have replaced the earlier CPU miner with the new CPU stratum scrypt-jane miner I put together.

https://github.com/Hartland/GPL-CPU-Miner

Again, I left the compiled daemon in the github, no guarantees it will work (Compiled on a Mint 15 KDE VM)

Compile instructions:

Code:

Basic *nix build instructions:
        ./autogen.sh    # only needed if building from git repo
        ./nomacro.pl    # only needed if building on Mac OS X or with Clang
        ./configure CFLAGS="-O3"
        make

Typical start up command:

./minerd -a scrypt-jane -o stratum+tcp://gplcoin.com:8888 -u <worker name> -p <password>

dreamwatcher,

If it isn't too much to ask, can you compile a Win 64 binary for this? I was having trouble compiling one myself from the first git...

Unfortunately, I do not think I have ever successfully cross compiled anything    . It is not due to any kind of OS bias (I do my development on a Linux VM hosted on a Windows 7 system), and for the longest time developed in VS2010 before switching completely over to Linux.

There are some instructions in the README file on compiling in Windows. Perhaps I should get set up to cross compile, though I almost exclusively deal with source. Perhaps one of the outstanding members of the Star Trek cryptocoin community would be willing to do a windows compile?

[dreamwatcher]

If anyone's not busy pm me and help walk me through setting up cpu miner to mine gpl .. I am so lost

Well, I need to know a few things.

What OS are you running? Do you know how to use Github?

If you are running Windows, you may need to wait until somebody does a Window compile on the CPU miner I just put up.

IF you are using Linux, just let me know at what point you are stuck at.

I gave her some instruction to get started but at some point, she will also need the 64 bit windows binary version of what you just made.

@ Dreamwatcher

seem to be finding blocks but not getting paid for quite a while on the pool (12 hours at least) !  could you take a look when you get chance !  Thanks


EDIT:  looks like it's been sorted Thanks dreamwatcher!

what was it? im guessing a cron job not doing it's thing.

[dreamwatcher]

@ Dreamwatcher

seem to be finding blocks but not getting paid for quite a while on the pool (12 hours at least) !  could you take a look when you get chance !  Thanks

Should be fixed. There should have been a massive payout.

This particular bug  comes up whenever there is a solved block with no shares (POS I am assuming in this case). The proportional payout cron goes into panic mode and will not process the payout on any blocks afterwards.
I basically have to go in and delete the "no-shares" block entry and the cron will then retro actively process everything.

I thought the developers had this fixed, I guess not. I will have to go in and write a bit of code to have the cron just ignore share-less blocks and not freak out...

Wait what... how long is the PoS time frame... 24 hours???

Where are the details of this coins PoS listed?

OK, now ya made me look deeper...

It was a POW block, but it looks like it was in the middle of 3 or 4 very closely timestamped blocks. Probably solved in one or two shares that got attributed to the blocks around it due to simple network/database latency. It happens once in a great while.
