benchmark ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FSMS4rax.png&t=665&c=wrUtZ1UU4AlEYw) I have not changed anything except that I added a little more threads with "-t" option, I use the original minerd from 1st post.

I found that the best performance are between 100-150 threads for my CPU. Yes, 128 threads are crazy but minerd works perfectly and I can use the rest part of the computer for surfing, watching movies, etc.

You should be well into the triple or quadruple digit MH/s with a GPU
BLAKE has higher throughput than SHA256 if I'm remembering correctly

yeah maybe even GH/s with GPU but I have not ported to opencl yet but plan is to get that done before xmas throughput wise with the sphlib sha256 ~ 277MB/s blake256 ~ 400MB/s

There is minerd thread limit 999 ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) So I added 998 threads to my machines , I'll report if it gives real block generation speed increase

Anyway, with such speed I should get blocks up to 10 times more often, if so - I'll confirm

Remember to update your wallets before block 3500 as I have fixed some bugs added more checkpoints and tweaked the up step to reduce large jumps upwards ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif)

30 minutes, no blocks (even with dropped difficulty), though I was getting near block per hour before this change. So I think that these numbers doesn't show anything real.

So I think that these numbers doesn't show anything real. yeah I think it might just be the way the hash rate is calculated still best bug I have seen for awhile and a good find by Aalesund

Happy mining. Does the difficulty relate to the network speed yes but the large jumps are down to how it was being calculated from block 3500 this should be much slower to jump up in difficulty but still jump down quite quick when network hash rate drops and don't forget that block reward is 25 + (square root of (difficulty + block height)) so when we get to the situation Bitcoin is in e.g high block and high difficulty the miner should be rewarded appropriately and none of the block halfing nonsense I picked blake for the high throughput, its parallelism and its works well on all platforms CPU/GPU/FPGA this way we can have a fast network with high tps e.g if you have more hashes you have more chances to be lucky
