Well that sucks!

Went away for about 36 hours, dropped the intensity slightly and left Smelter running.  Pff!

not quite sure what im doing wrong here but it would appear that my cards want to mine at 20GH-70GH for 3 attempts then the miner crashes.

it seems like something is wrong due to getting such high rates!

has anyone discovered this?  (its almost like when you forget to include the --scrypt when mining with cgminer)

any help would be great thank you :-)

So is GPU Mining actually better than CPU mining for quarks? I haven't seen any great sucess stories yet.

Please add choose second videocard option like in CGMiner, for people who use GeForce for games and Radeon for mining.

I don't understand - if smelter could mine solo to adress 127.0.0.1, why its could't mine at any other one ? such as adress of some pool ?

Yes, it is much better if you have 5xxx cards.

Another stack of submissions and nothing accepted - has the difficulty shot up, am I unlucky, is my 5830 rubbish or is this just a total waste of time?

Quark's aren't moving much on volume either http://coinmarketcap.com/

The accepted value in Smelter is for blocks solved, not shares accepted.

Law of averages states that you will get x amount of QRK/SRC per day over the long run, when comparing the same hash rate to the pool.

And the 1: value is what?  Maybe submissions was the wrong word - attempts at blocks?

I understand it's luck of the draw - hence the questions about my luck. How do you do?

something is very wrong with your miner  Angry i thought its supposed to take only 12.5% as fee and not all the coins ??
mined a coin where a block is 50k reward. here is what is left

6.1k is version1 posted from OP and v2 is 6.5k

The 1: [Number] refers to the number of blocks that have passed by since you started Smelter.

A: [Number] - Number of solved blocks (including orphans).

R: [Number] - Rejected.

It most likely unable to send the actual amount because it was designed for Quark and not Particle. So you only get the donation amount and not the full amount

Thank you. Well I've had 3 solved blocks now that have resulted in payments of 14.4, 7.20009 and 7.20.  To be honest I'm wondering whether it's worth it.

Just my 2 cents.

I wonder if we can get this to work on a pool with ypool.net xptProxy.
Source: https://github.com/jh000/xptProxy

Its used to mine dogecoin and "converts" the protocol into json.
Currently it supports sha-256, scrypt and primecoin algos.
There are no arguments to provide and connects by default on ypool.net port 10034 and rpc port 8332.

I made some changes to the source to allow arguments such as pool port rpcport.

main.cpp(int function, modified)
Code:
int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
printf("\xC9\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xBB\n");
printf("\xBA  xptProxy (v0.2b)                                \xBA\n");
printf("\xBA  contributors: jh                                \xBA\n");
printf("\xBA  local protocols: getwork(8332)+longpoll         \xBA\n");
printf("\xBA  algorithms: scrypt                              \xBA\n");
printf("\xBA  params: xptProxy.exe pool port rpcport          \xBA\n");
printf("\xC8\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xCD\xBC\n");
printf("Launching proxy...\n");

char* poolURL = "ypool.net";
if(argv[1])
{
poolURL = argv[1];
}

proxySettings.poolPort = 10034;
if(argv[2])
{
proxySettings.poolPort = atoi(argv[2]);
}


proxySettings.rpcPort = 8332;
if(argv[3])
{
proxySettings.rpcPort = atoi(argv[3]);
}
// init winsock
WSADATA wsa;
WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2),&wsa);

hostent* hostInfo = gethostbyname(poolURL);
if( hostInfo == NULL )
{
printf("Cannot resolve '%s'. Is it a valid URL?\n", poolURL);
exit(-1);
}
void** ipListPtr = (void**)hostInfo->h_addr_list;
uint32 ip = 0xFFFFFFFF;
if( ipListPtr[0] )
{
ip = *(uint32*)ipListPtr[0];
}
char ipText[32];
sprintf(ipText, "%d.%d.%d.%d", ((ip>>0)&0xFF), ((ip>>8)&0xFF), ((ip>>16)&0xFF), ((ip>>24)&0xFF));
// set default proxy settings (todo: Add config)
proxySettings.poolIP = ipText;
// init xpt proxy stuff
xptProxy_init();
// start json server thread
printf("Starting JSON-RPC server on port %d...\n", proxySettings.rpcPort);
jsonRpcServer_t* jrs = jsonRpc_createServer(proxySettings.rpcPort);
if( jrs == NULL )
{
printf("Failed to open a server on port %d, try again\n", proxySettings.rpcPort);
return -1;
}
CreateThread(NULL, 0, (LPTHREAD_START_ROUTINE)jsonRpc_run, jrs, 0, NULL);
// start processing xpt clients
printf("xptProxy ready to accept connections!\n");
xptProxy_mainloop();
return 0;
}

After the changes it compiles and runs successfully with "xptProxy ypool.net 10034 8332"

I also added all the quark files/algos to the project and they needed no changes at all
Got the files from miner, https://github.com/Neisklar/quarkcoin-cpuminer
Files: blake.c, bmw.c, groestl.c, jh.c, keccak.c, skein.c, the respective sph_headers.h and sph_types.h

The file wich actually exports quark hash and verify functions(quark.c) gives a missing function error

After the quark hashing functions can included without errors i think there are just some minor changes to do at xptProxy itself to actually recognize the algorithm.
A simple search shows:
xptClient.cpp
Code:
else if( xptShareToSubmit->algorithm == ALGORITHM_SHA256 || xptShareToSubmit->algorithm == ALGORITHM_SCRYPT )

xptProxy.cpp
Code:
if( xpc->algorithm == ALGORITHM_SCRYPT )

Not sure if the protocols are the same but maybe some one more skilled can give this a try?
