It seems raising the difficulty by the pool leads to an unnecessary low hash rate, would that be possible?

9 GPU rig, but only 8 work
How to assign GPUs to split all 9 GPUs using this opencl/CPU miner? -d 0,1,2,3,4 in one script and -d 5,6,7,8 in the other?
Thanks!

Miner has a limit of 8 GPU max per instance.

This can be dual mined while mining x16r/x16s, probably should set -i 8 if running alongside another algo

[iuhkymt]

Can be mined with ccminer; download the scratchpad and put it in %USERPROFILE%\Appdata\Local\.cache\boolberry

ccminer -a wildkeccak -o stratum+tcp://pool.purkproject.com:7777 -u [username] -p [password] -i 31.99999999

ccminer variants:
solominer (if you want to try and solo mine full blocks only)

nevermore 1% donation probably mines x16r or x16s for it

Thank you for those links to mining tools. Can I mine this coin with my AMD graphic cards (470 and 570)?
If yes, please give me links to download them and codes to config.

Or use a ccminer fork that supports more than 8

Hi,

Using CPUMiner-Multi-OpenCL - CPU/GPU with 5x7950 rig on pool purk.fairpool.xyz.

Found out very strange thing...

When started mining a few days ago my hashrate was 13mh.
After 1 day it's decreased to 10 mh.
And now it's only 8.7mh...

Why it may happen?

Hello, can you optimize the AMD hash?
AMD graphics card mining Purk performance is not fully used.
The use of AMD card to excavate Purk contrast N card is very bad

Glad to see a bit more chatter here

I have a problem.
When installing on another computer - the same situation.

[sammy2394]

 there is a great potential.

See: https://docs.purkproject.com/ Rebuilding Wallet Data File - you need to open .keys file and make sure wallet file is not in the same path. save a new wallet and then you will be able to open ok.

Newbie confirming, Win10, 6x AMD RX480, -i10 for PURK, -I14 for x16r.

Seriously doubt that, ocminer has a lot to lose if he's releasing viruses.  He has one of the biggest altcoin pools at suprnova.cc so I don't think he stands much to gain ripping people off with a miner.

So will purk be a currency with a major feature in donation to content owners and service providers? Can I use it for other purposes, such as a payment processor for any type of service?

Main purkpool is all fucked up with SSL errors and shit, what's going on.

ANNOUNCEMENT - OFFICIAL POOL OFFLINE

As of this afternoon 5PM GMT we had to take the official Purk mining pool offline. We didn't take this decision lightly and we sincerely apologise to all of those affected. At first we thought we were under DDOS attack, but after further investigation it turned out that due to a glitch in the pool script; redis was sending over 800 GB of data requests to the server which has sent our hosting bill to astronomical/unaffordable levels (you can't even imagine).

The issue of course can be fixed, but since the pool is not our main priority we have decided not to bring it back online. This is NOT the bumpy launch we wanted or imagined for Purk and now the pool is offline we can concentrate on the development of the coin and the API.

We left redis running until all pending payments had been processed, so your earnings have not been affected, other than the down time. Again, we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience thats been caused.

To continue mining Purk as usual please visit https://purk.fairpool.xyz/
