[ANN] TagCoin - Multi Token Wallet and Trading Platform

[Hueristic]

I haven't had time to look at the code, but I posted the relevant sniippets in case someone can digest the math from the code. I won't be available for the next few days, for anything other than quick message responses. Otherwise I would've looked into it..

There's still orphans occuring, not as bad as before, but it's odd how some pools seem to get waves and others don't. We're trying to look into possibilities why. I've been focused on POTcoin lately, and even with significant hash flux, it's never been an issue on that coin.

Hehehe He said Hash.




Just checking to see if this coin is safe yet. I'm guessing no?

I think that what is happening is due to old versions of the client still in use, some back to 1.0.2. Using getpeerinfo you can check that for yourself. Not a lot I can do about it except remind people to use the latest version. so as far as I am concerned the code is stable, the chain is stable and I can move forward with developments to use TAG in earnest.

Funny reading this thread is like reading the Orb thread last month. Same excuse's from the dev almost verbatim.

Why don't you get in touch with Mad_Max like I recommended. He probably will only take a small bounty to fix your issue.

He fixed ORB because he liked the coin and the dev turned it into a all out war instead of adopting the fix. But they have worked it out and Max is now a dev.

Lurkmode on.

It's safe as far as we are concerned yes..

Hard fork update with code that puts a lock on the sync process unless the user is updated to the latest version.  If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure it's how Litecoin did it last year.  Basically, "if version !=x then sync=false".  And they get a big red update notice in the area that says "you need to update you wallet or else you're a dope".

Force them to update, and let's eliminate this variable.

I'm stocking up on TAG... so the longer it goes on, the better for me.

The longer it goes on the better for you? Why, cause the price is so low? What if it completely crashes because the problem takes too long to get fixed? lol

[ClutchThese]

what if it doesn't?

TAG has, by far, one of the most dedicated Dev teams. I don't like the orphan issues, just the same as all of you. BUT, i do believe in the longevity of the coin. It will be fixed, and the price will go up. What you do depends on you.

Does anyone here use sgminer and understand how to 'build' it, or save me the trouble and tell me where i can just download the complete thing

cheers

[ClutchThese]

I use it. I have r9 290's and this is the only miner i know of that doesn't crash on restarts.

http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1va8g2/ann_sgminer_400_release/

that's the reddit announcement for 4.0, they are on 4.1 i believe now. But that post should link to the newest version.

I don't see the download link though.. probably being dumb

I don't understand GIthub either... a bunch of files but for what and where is the download link

[ClutchThese]

github download link is on the right side... you'll see "download as zip"

click that and you're downloading.

[FortuneSeeker]

OK yeah I found that.. about 2 seconds after I said I can't see it... sheessh this head cold makes me slow!

Ok now whats this about 'building' it  Can't I just use it as it comes? like I did cgminer? (obviously I've got to create my .bat file)

[ClutchThese]

Well, if you don't want to build it... use someone elses built version:

http://www.reddit.com/r/litecoinmining/comments/1va8g2/ann_sgminer_400_release/ceqvjwn

you can download 4.1 or 4.0 from that thread. Then build a .bat file and start mining.

[FortuneSeeker]

Can someone please tell me where I'm getting a problem with this .bat file using sgminer if it matters

color 02
timeout /t 30
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer kernel : scrypt130302 -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192,8192,8192 --lookup-gap 2 -g 2 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1065,1065,1065 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500,1500 --temp-cutoff 90,90,90 --temp-overheat 85,85,85 --temp-target 68,68,68 --auto-fan --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0 -o stratum+tcp://eu.pickaxe.cc:3330 -u Fortuneseeker.warflow1 -p kensei79

I've taken the settings from this guy

https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12369.0;prev_next=next#new

though i have no idea what the expiry/scantime/queue bit do. but he has the same cards exactly as i do and is getting 700 + hash.  anyway I get the "unexpected extra commandline arguments" error.  I took out the expiry/scan-time/queue parts and got the same thing. I noticed that each card has its own setting and though he has different ones for each card for gpu engine as i'm starting i was keeping mine the same.

any help please

[ClutchThese]

make a .bat file with this:

Code:

sgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://usa2.wemineltc.com:3334 -u worker -p password

then create a .conf file and edit the settings in .conf

don't bother will all that other ish.

I dont think you need to tell sgminer to use scrypt as that is the only thing it does.

Let me know if that fixes it haha. I have a couple rigs using sgminer on windows 7

[vesperwillow]

I've got 280X's running 720-810KH/s. Sapphire Toxic is the best of the 280X's for mining.

Nice, mate! I'm getting the same rates with my Asus 280x's!

The old versions can't know or can't act based on other people's version. But the old versions can get an alert I think. So, maybe the devs can broadcast that alert which gets spread to all nodes to update to 1.0.5.

Then 1.0.6 and higher can have the code to check if they are on the latest version (based on alerts or something signed by the devs, so we don't get random people attacking the network by making the clients think they are on old versions when they aren't.)

In a way, the tagcoin network and mining is decentralized, but distribution and development of the clients are centralized.

[FortuneSeeker]

Ok I still need help here please

I followed this thread as it got him decent results with my cards

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=453067.20

I've got a complied version of sgminer, downloaded his .cl file and .bin file and written the .bat file like his (as below) and all I get is "unexpected extra commandline arguments" from sgminer.. Why?

color 02
timeout /30
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer kernel : scrypt130302 --thread concurrency 8192,8192,8192 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --auto-fan --temp-cutoff 90,90,90 --temp-overheat 85,85,85 --temp-target 68,68,68 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1065,1065,1065 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0

that thread has --lookup-gap 2 in his .bat file as well, though that has already been pointed out it doesn't need to be there, but I get the same problem whether its included or not.  The kernel file is simply the name of the kernel file, but again i've tried the zuikkis.cl and that doesn't change anything.  So where am I going wrong.. still...

please help!
