Also, I am mining on dedicatedpool.com and it says my workers have a lot less kh than they really do and the difficulty there doesn't match the 28 that appear when I'm mining or that's written in their blocks, anyone know for this?  Appreciate the help!

Try another pool? As I see it now, dedicatedpool.com has about 80% - 90% of network hashrate, so while there are no indication they'll do something evil (like some sort 51% attack) with that it would be better to spread the hashrate more evenly. There are 4 other pools and many p2pool nodes.

The diff reported by the pool often fluctuates between about half and double of the real value, but if it stays significantly below the real value, then something is wrong with either the miner or the pool. Are other pools also reporting lower hashrate? If not, then perhaps switch pool, if you see same hashrate also on other pools, then it may be a problem with miner.

I seem to be getting 1/5 of scrypt K on all my cards...

That is approximately what is expected, at Nfactor 10 most cards are running about 40% - 45% of scrypt hashrate and increasing Nfactor by one means the hashrate approximately halves (unless running into some lack of memory or other limitation, in that case it can drop to less than a half)

I took a look at all the other pools, but they only got a few miners and aren't really attractive.  I don't got an account at Dedicatedpool (and I think you aren't able to register a new one though), so some of the existing miners at Dedicatedpool should hop into another pool. IF we want to spread the total hashrate ofcourse.

The registrations seems to be open on dedicatedpool. Other pools are small, but at least two of them (cach.catcoin.cz and p2pools) have still reasonable local block time (around 7-15% of dedicatedpool hashrate and block time between 2 and 4 hours), the other three are a bit small to be really attractive though (one of them is even empty with "We are investingating issues in the backend" message) ...

Seems cach starting to take off on cryptsy, volume doubled in less than 12 hours!

That's because an equipment vendor is accepting CACH as payment at the value of 0.01 BTC for 24 hours beginning on Monday.  This is causing people to buy it up at a discounted rate to get a discount on the equipment.

Do you have a link to the vender accepting Cache?

[Don007]

Well, its the Fibonacci vendor, with their Scrypt Asic devices.

I was going to use these cachecoins to buy a device too, but now, at This price, it is going to be too expensive for me . I think the value of Cache will decrease after monday.

It seems that difficulty its not adjusting???, all the time the pool (dedicated) says current diff 28, est next 20 (or even lower) but on the next block, diff still 28...

Anyone noticed that?

[bumaga]

now Nfactor: 11
I have with my 280x only - 70kh
write plz best config for 280x

All the pools have the difficulty calculation wrong - the pool software uses only a simple approximation, while the coin uses actually more complex algorithm, looking back to several blocks in the past in the calculation. But reimplementing the full algorithm would be complex and would yield only a small benefit (slightly better next block diff prediction), so all the pools use a crude estimation - which can be quite wrong

The real diff stays near 28 - as the hashrate is stable, I'd predict the diff stays at 28 for a while unless more miners will either come mining cachecoin, or stop mining cachecoin.

I have some config posted on my pool's news page:

HD7970/280x (1044/1500), expected hashrate about 135kh/s for 280x

Code:

setx GPUMAXALLOCPERCENT 100
setx GPUUSESYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer --scrypt-jane --Nfmin 4 --Nfmax 30 --StartT 1388949883 -o stratum+tcp://cach.catcoin.cz:3333 -u worker_user -p worker_password -w 256 -g 2 -I 12 --thread-concurrency 16384 --no-submit-stale --lookup-gap 2 --expiry 10 --scan-time 1 --queue 0 

Have you tried this one out?

What parameters are you using now?

SHould I only be getting 160k on 290s?

180Kh/s seems to be concensus MAX on R9 290 ... I am currently getting only 72kh/s and have tried over and over I don't know what I am missing !!!

I would kill to get 160kh/s..

Can you please post all of your configurations .. ( your config file and line arguments at launch if you have any)

Hoe many cards you have in your rig and what brand ?

Thanks

I'm getting about 140kH/s per card, config is 2 x MSI R9 290, 4Gb RAM, on the following settings:

 -w 64 -g 1 -I 18 --thread-concurrency 42000 --no-submit-stale --lookup-gap 3 --expiry 10 --scan-time 1 --queue 0

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

gpu engine 1000, mem clock 1500, powertune 20, set in afterburner

[bit_coin_genuis]

Are  you not getting massive amount of HW errors with that config ?

I have Gigabyte 280x windforce and conf is

cgminer.exe --scrypt-jane --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388949883 -o stratum -u 1-p 1 -I 12 --thread-concurrency 16384 --no-submit-stale --lookup-gap 2 --expiry 10 --scan-time 1 --queue 0

if I use -w 256 -g 2
PC show me blue screen..

I try change Engine clock from 1000-1100 and maximum speed was 75KH

[kalgecin]

Something new is coming to CACHeCoin quite soon ;-) something many will like

Is libzerocoin even ready for public use yet?
