Help here I want to mine on cpu I have an intel i7 how to set up so that the mine will be valid on 4 cores or on 5 help what where to register

Download the CPU version from github (link in page 1 of this thread), then just set "low" in your .bat (among other instructions) and 50% of your CPU will be used.

JCE, can you please check if there are differences in your code compare to the "final" fork project of GRAFT (CN Waltz) ?

It seems they added a "reversed shuffle operation".

Hi jce,

Why my core i7-8700k,when mine cryptonight sometimes starts with good hashrate ~=400 h/S but sometimes start with 270h/S and i have to do several restarts of miner ( or open multiple instances) to make it to maximum and sometimes i quit and i leave it in the low hashrate..

Very anoying, with other miners is the same, example the claysmore..   

Regards

Yes, that's stange! I had this issue, too, on several i7-8700 "Coffee Lake". Interestingly never on AMD Ryzen and not with "Haswell" based Intel systems. Perhaps a "secret" Coffee Lake hw-prefetching mechanism, which sometimes gets into play and sometimes not?!

Guys,

Just doned an fresh install of windows and install the 1809 ver. I was in old working good version 1709 and wanted to

refresh.

When im mining with lol, srb or other miner , if i bloq the copmputer after a while computer restarts.. wtf?

I install first last amd driver and 18.6.1 and the symptom is the same..

never happened this,  and im using  an single gpu on my desktop pc

Now i catch the BSOD and appears:  whea uncorrectable error

Now i disable the turn monitor off after x minutes and seems work.

What should i look?

Hello all,

Sorry for the 2-week blackout, but i'm coming with bad news: as I expected, i lost most of the dev time I used to have the previous 12 monthes and i now have virtually zero.

I could somehow cheat by taking the reference code I miss (CN-GPU, CN-Monero4, Wow...), compile it and get some fees for free, but that would be mishonnest. Rather than providing bad support, i prefer to explicit say i need to stop.

While the lack of time is the principal reason, i also noticed:
- A strong loss of value of Coins, only a few of them are still profitable, unless you have free power
- My competitors got a lot stronger. Xmrig/stak went from a naive C code (march 2018) to an on-the-fly assembly generator (march 2019). While not impossible, beating them would take a lot more time than it took one year ago when there were just three, simple forks.

I wish i had released one last farewell version, like with CN-ReverseWaltz, but i just have zero time left. I struggled to release the v8-capable in october (almost) in time, but for Monero4 i just can't.

I thank you all for your priceless comments, support and bug report, with a mention for Unclwish who found some crazy obscure bugs.
I'll put an explicit message in first post and GitHub page to state the last supported forks are the ones of jan/fev 2019 (Turtle v2 & al.) and that there will be none for Monero4.

Thanks again and goodbye,
  - JCE

Please reconsider.

I don't care if you "only" implement the reference code, I'd be happy to keep on giving you fees. Your miner is awsome and the most stable by far. Mining has no been profitable to me for many months, I don't mind. Cryptos are at their infancy stage, as soon as the market recover, good projects will surge and I aim to use cryptos, not sell them for FIATs

So please, reconsider.

Regards

[fluxy12]

I used your miner a lot with heavy algos, it's so sad to loose an excellent dev like you. I wish you the best and perhaps a comeback when cryptos go to the moon again.

[HardKano]

Dear @JCE-Miner i'm sad to hear that. I hope you will comeback when the next bull run will be in full run. I know there is hard times. I will continue use your miner as long as i can. I really enjoy it.

[UnclWish]

Very sad news... I very llike your miner, JCE, and good support and feedback.
But you're right about profit of coins. Hope you'll return to development if profit grows.

you dont have to be the best!! you have lot of ppl who just love your miner, cause it´s stable and fast!
i wish you the best and hope you will find back your motivation!

Motivaition is simple here - time for development does not pay off by the fees cause of low profit of CN-coins at this moment. And he's absolutly right!

[FloppyPurpleGherkin]

That's a shame, I found your CN miner most stable of all and have many rigs using it 

[Lonnegan64]

Very sad news  I wish you would reconsider once more. Perhaps at the moment mining is not profitable, but when you hodl and sell in 3 years, when BTC will be at 60.000 the calculation is a different one.

[kissmarx]

It's very sad that JCE has ended dev.

I hope someday it will be revived and updated.

It's very sad that JCE has ended dev.

it would be when cn coins become profitable again.

[stsocrat]

Most stable and imperceptible cpu miner! May be you could give us good v9 before ending?

[PIOUPIOU99]

pff ...jésus 

thank you for all the work done, hoping that this is just a long break.
merci.
