The difficulty is so high now! Slow down!

[BChydro]

Can anyone answer this? I use the modified BFGminer for all my rigs. I've got one computer with an average cpu (Athlon II X4 640, quad core) mining MED with a 7.5 GH/s jally which takes about 50% of the cpu power. It shows ~6.4 GH/s work upload rate on the BFG screen, and 7.5-9.5 GH/s reported speed on the Ibipot pool side, which is good. I also have 20 block erupter USB sticks. If I put those 20 on the same rig (without the jally) the cpu usage hits 100% about half of the time, bfgminer will report a work upload rate of about 200 MH/s per stick and the Ibipot pool reports about the same speed per stick. The problem improves when I put the sticks on a rig with an 8 core FX-8350, the cpu usage never maxes out, but it goes pretty high and bfgminer reports a work upload of 260 MH/s per stick. Better, but still pretty poor.

My question is why would 20 usb sticks which only amount to 6.6 GH/s take more CPU power than a jally (7.5 GH/s)? Also, would switching to cgminer significantly improve my usb stick hash rate, and reduce CPU usage? 25 MED reward for a good answer

Use mcproxy for HIGH Hashrate ASIC... bfgminer and cgminer aren't multithreading for now.

I've been battling with the same low output issues since I started mining from the coin launch. Solo or Pool, bfg or cgminer, the "coins per day" stays about the same. I have 6 Antminer U1s that are modded to 1.2v (3Gh/s) and they run consistantly at 1 - 1.3Gh/s. It doesn't matter if I run 1 or 6, the output is the same(based on the CPU used). With an i3 CPU I can run 4 modded AMUs and the CPU usage is about 85-90%, with an i7 CPU, I can run all 6 with an avg. 75% CPU usage. Bfgminer has a higher overall Hashrate but lots more HW errors (38-40%), Cgminer has a lower overall Hashrate but almost no HW errors. The effective hashing rate remains about the same as far as I can tell. The biggest difference between bfgminer and cgminer seems to be in the Pool hashrate. Bfgminer shows my hashrate to be 4.5Gh/s with 4 AMUs, the pool worker hashrate is almost always 1.5 - 1.75 Gh/s lower, Cgminer registers a much lower hashrate on the pool (50-60% lower) than in cgminer itself. Solo mining cgminer seems to hash a little faster.

I don't really have a problem with the lower hashrate because it's in keeping with the premise of the coin by restricting the hashing power of the huge miners out there. I just can't nail the consistency down in the relationship between CPU and Hashing power. It looks like an i3 Processor will handle about 5 Gh/s before the CPU is maxed out (using Antminer U1s), and 8Gh/s with an i7. These numbers are based on my observations using my Laptops, others may get totally different figures..I don't know... What bugs me is if I am able to mine with a max hashrate of 4 to 5 Gh/s with an i3 Processor, why can't I do it with only 2 AMUs? My modded AMUs will mine a consistant 2.9-3.1 Gh/s each on a SHA256 coin. Theoretically...I should be able to max out an i3 Processor with 2 AMUs (instead of 5) and an i7 with 3 AMUs.

Like I said, I'm not really Bitching about the mining, but it would be nice to know if the hashrate is somehow limited "Per Device" in conjunction with the CPU or purely by a hashrate to CPU factor. It would save me what little Hair I have left trying to find the "Best" setup with bfgminer and cgminer...

So the best is bfgminer or cgminer for pool mining?? More accepted shares in the first o in the second?

I find that if your'e using Antminer U1s, bfgminer is a little better.

I'm using a Block Erupter usb ahahhaha.. Thank you for the answer anyway..

need help bought a new antminer but its giving me only 0.64ghs and 40% of errors 
how can i make it run well and give the full hash power?

please anyone with antminers help

this is normal

are you using BFG2?

you can try MCPROXY3+BFG1, may be better,just have a try

[BChydro]

Wow the difficulty is 90k and my miner window is showing a new block 4 times a minute! Where's all the power coming from?

[mitsarasss]

This is one of the best coins of 2014 and yet most people still don't know about it.
We need to make more people aware of this coin...
How should we do that, any ideas?

Dev team's pictures in Barcelona for GSMA Mobile World Congress are most promo materials, and tell us what the MED does different than other alt-coin, what is MED's advantage....

We need to more and more people know MED.

Network Weekly Stats:


 

While I appreciate these posts there is something I don't understand they cannot be correct. Ibipot has 90+% of the blocks being found with only 10% of network hash?

 I think the problem is that many people do SOLOMINING.... but who said to u that ibipot get 90% of blocks?

Ok from ibipot stats they has found 1188 in 24hours the daily amount has 1440~

 so...with 855GHS  they get 82,5% of blocks:D

In my pool with average of 150GHS we get 6.39% of daily blocks

In nxPool , with average of 580ghs they get 12.15% of daily blocks


Total of 101% (the amount of daily blocks change frequently through block generation speed)
Total hashrate  1585GHS

So many people waste their power in SOLO mining ... is the 'only plausible explanation

Excuse me 82.5% I roughly guesstimated I did not feel like figuring out the exact number. Second you can watch that attitude "but who said to u that ibipot get 90% of blocks?" that's just being rude. I am sorry but I simply cannot believe that 5500-6500 GH of solomining results in basically nothing.

Sorry for my english Mill  I did not mean to be rude.....
NETWORK HASHRATE ... is directly extracted from MED WALLET DAEMON... so the data it's true...

Your reasoning was flawless  
I don't know  

But you can considered that the BIG UP was in the last 2days... so if hashrate raise quickly...block time go down... and number of daily  blocks increases...
I think that these days the number of blocks found by the pools will go down
