[Preview] Smelter - GPU miner for WhirlpoolX (Vanillacoin)

[Wubbllez]

what card gets the best hashes?

/snip/

Where is this quarkcoin.conf file located exactly? Searching the computer finds nothing. Nothing in the wallet data folder or the folder that launches the wallet executable.

It does not exist by default, you must create it at %appdata%/Quarkcoin/quarkcoin.conf (wallet data folder)

what card gets the best hashes?

Radeon 5000 and 6000 series cards run great. The best single die gpu would be 6970, I think

2x5870 = 4MH
good or bad?

Hi guys,

just wanted to give it a try but keep getting this message:



NVIDIA GeForce GT 220M (old laptop)

Any ideas?

Thank you!

That's really nice!
It equates to around 73 quarks per day and 14 SRCs at current difficulty. (Minus the 10% royalty)

You should've read the 1st post completely

NVidia and old/rare AMD cards are not supported.

This seems to work pretty well. My 5850s get about 2.5MH/s each. If the reported hash rate is accurate, then SecureCoin is the most profitable coin to mine with GPUs now. Not sure about the reality yet; I've only found one block, and it has been about 7 hours. With my total of 18MH/s, I should be getting a block about every 2.7 hours. We shall see.

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

The ability to specify which gpu to mine would be great..I use my 5870 for normal activities and my second card for mining.

Looks like you're using an old version. The newest version (I think) is here: http://rghost.net/49940688

(See smolen's post a couple pages back if you don't trust me)

Help needed. On the latest verison I see that -I is set to 200 is this a typeo or actualy ment to be 200

Meant to be 200. The intensity scaling for Smelter has a bigger range than cgminer or guiminer.

Any idea how to use a pool?
In "solo" mode is just impossible to get a block!
perhaps using a proxy?

[Pk9499]

You're not the only one - I've not managed to overcome the "couldn't connect to server" issue.

[tucksmcgucks]

Looks like someone beat the OP to the catch on a QRK GPU miner that connects to a pool!

I just found this tonight, and it appears to be very recent. Not sure if I trust it yet, however....

[rmhuntley]

I'll try it on a crashbox

[rmhuntley]

ok, I'm running it and it appears to be mining. though I don't see any activity on qrk.coinmine.pl. I"ll let it run overnight and see what it does.

[Tenchi]

the GPU miner from ScarletRose only detects the Intel HD 4000 GPU of my CPU and not my Radeon 7850... anyone knows how to change that?

[rmhuntley]

how do you tell what it finds?

[Tenchi]

when you start the program it writes:
#Detecting GPU....
