finally here it is

vertminer-0.5.3 released

windows build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n70hj3izjj64y1/vertminer-0.5.3.zip
github source: https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git

release notes:

Code:

Version 0.5.3 - 2 February 2014
- changed automatic TC calculation (again but still not finished / perfect...)
- increased max intensity to 21
- shaders are now used for intensity calculation
  --> option shaders is set: intensity calculation tries to align to shaders count (can increase performance but also decrease with low intensity)
  --> shaders NOT set: old cgminer intensity calculation is used
- opencl changed to keep speed with adaptive nfactor
- introduced first time dependent nfactor changes in code (not finally done yet)
- fix for ADL with R9 cards

Important: the automatic TC calculation is only performed if you do not set TC manually and this is only an estimation what could be the best.
Manual tuning TC is in most cases the best you can do.

Hi, just so you're aware, I'm getting around 100kh/s less with this version compared to 0.5.2 on 280X (both of them)!

My config is the same:

del *.bin
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://vtcpool.co.uk:3333 -u x -p x --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1460 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 30-85 --temp-target 80 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90


0.5.2 ~ 350kh/s on 2nd card, ~ 280kh/s on card connected to display
0.5.3 ~ 250kh/s on 2nd card, ~ 200kh/s on card connected to display

hi,

i'am getting "share is above the target" when mining on VTC Pools with my 270Xs and 280Xs
after some time my worker gets a temp ban

anyone else with that problem?


already tried reducing -i and clocks

[Sarahiko]

Could anyone be so kind to throw me any amount of coins in my way that would be great just started and find out that my dual core PC could not handle the mining  here is my axe.

I also had a problem with hash dropping after instalin vertminer... I'm running on originaly changed by dev cgminer. I got about 350kh/s per one Gigabyte 280x

[crypto_girl]

Anyone been able to get a evga gtx780ti with acx cooling to 640khash?

Highest I can get is around 400.  I'm just guessing different values now.  But the old version could get very close to 650
cudaminer -a scrypt:2048 -d gtx780ti -H 1 -l t15x16 -C 2 -i 0

For vertcoin getting 181khash/sec.  The gpu reaches 1.1Ghz when running cudaminer.  I should be getting over 650.  With the old version gpu would only get up to around 1000mhz.  So now I'm getting 100 more mhz but very bad hash rates.

Ratio of core clock / memory clock is very important. For me it can drop by 200kh/s on scrypt if I raise GPU clock by even 10Mhz above the sweet spot.

Boris - Just wanted to verify you received my msg. I know you have a lot going on right now

Fastpow,

I saw your post, I wanted to elaborate on a social media aspect. I definitely support what you mentioned below, just trying to help.

Deky

Potentially yes, Vertcoin is building on a very good foundation and is being actively developed with new/proven features. Proper maintenance and active development are key to making something technically superior to it's competition, as a software developer I know this. But we must not forget the importance of other aspects as well, having a good product is not worth much if no one knows about it. This is where our dedicated and active community comes in.

I have a few ideas on how all of us can help and spread the word on Vertcoin, tonight I will post a few words on it and see what you guys think.

Boris, thanks for all your good work.

I mean $4+ is already quite expense for a new coin...how high could it go?

I'm not saying this necessarily applies to the price, because technical superiority is not a determinant of price (at least, not on it's own), but does anyone here doubt that VTC is better than BTC as a piece of technology? Satoshi invented something incredible, and few of us could do what he did, but we have the benefit of hindsight. This coin isn't just the new litecoin, I think it's better than Bitcoin.

Hey fellow verters!

Ofcourse we're all very happy about the current rise of Vertcoin. We've been the fastest rising coin for 3 days in a row now with the 24h increase reaching as high as 357% earlier  today!
And since you're all reading this i'm convinced you know everything about the awesome features Vertcoin has to offer when you compare them to LTC for example.

But after reaching this much volume the rise probably hold for a while in a few days. And this is we're we (the community) should come in. We've got to start organising things to make people able to use VTC for practical purposes other than speculating on the value of the coin. We need to start Recruiting people with extensive technical knowledge to create trade platforms, we need people with a marketing background to keep promoting this coin by actively writing well-constructed articles about it's benefits in comparison to other coins. What we also need is people with graphical skills, creating infographics, banners, t-shirts and what not. And ofcourse we need to get more miners to get the network even more stable.

To get all these things done we'll need well-educated people willing to dedicate alot of their time to this coin. To attract these kind of people i suggest we start a marketing & promotion fund to make sure we can compensate these people for their time and dedication to our project.

Now to start i've got a few ideas wich i think can help this coin to get on it's way to replacing LTC or what the heck, even BTC.

Websites

Currently there isn't really a way to actually spend and use your vertcoins. A platform should be developed to do all kinds of things with your coins, exchange for BTC/LTC and even directly to fiat, quick escrow services, a pay-pall specificly designed for vertcoin and some sort of e-bay where people can offer goods to be exchanged for VTC and VTC only.

You could also think about lottery/casino websites for vertcoin where you could play games like poker/blackjack with your VTC.

Social Media

We should also start a Social-Media campaign promoting the pro's of vertcoin compared to the other cryptocurrencies. Social media will be especially important in the campaign to reach the mainstream public. ( At wich point known retailers will also start accepting VTC)

Articles/essays

We also need professional writers and perhaps journalists to promote the coin, they will be writing contructive posts about what whould be the benefits of using VTC as a currency. This campaign will be aimed at the well-educated people and ofcourse at possible investors.

Ofcourse there are many more things we could do to promote the coin but i believe that if we put time/effort in these causes vertcoin will surpass any other Cryptocurrency and become the next standard.
Let's get involved people and create REAL demand for our precious coin.  

I'd like to start the fund to make these great things happen right now to start these projects as fast as possible, for more information about myself check this topic.

I know the price is fluctuating alot atm. But think a moment for yourself, would you rather own 100 VTC with a value of 5 dollar or would you rather own 90 VTC with a value of 10x or even 25x that amount due to awesome community effort?

Start sharing and let's get this project going. Donations can be forwarded to this adress: Vn6rPFuEtAtcpaEKLRdGKYopDtE6cNvQBb  
I'll keep daily or even sub-daily updated about the amount of VTC in the wallet and the community will have influence about where we are going to spend it and how much by voting.

Let's get VTC to keep going Vertical!



For more information you can aways send me a PM or e-mail me on Fastpow@gmail.com

Cheers and keep up the good work!
Michael

Add "no-submit-stale" : true,    to your config. Worked so far for me. Don't usually get paid for stales anyways so no loss, plus i dont get temp bans anymore.

Ofcourse, keep the feedback coming, it's not something i'm planning to do solely by myself.

Please give your thoughts on the social media aspect, i'd love to read it

Yes this seems to be the case.

But guys and girls the talk about miner settings is on,

yea i have no-submit-stale on all my configs
doesnt work tho at VTC

[cexylikepie]

i've been watching vert for days and wishing i would have bought some... i fear i am too late! can anyone help me out?

VpwKFgonF6XKBkUiBb3k9AiWYcpVYSBUWd

i still bought like 8 because its all i could afford

[dotnetmin]

i never used linux before but i will try to install bamt with vertminer, wish me luck  

is there a bamt version ? i asked her and got answer NO

Not sure if this is the place for it - but I have a pretty solid P2P node stood up for VTC.

http://gl-security.net:9171

It's also hosted on the scanner under http://76.119.179.213:9171

Thanks!

Sent 1 VTC. (Been making several on the Poloniex exchange hype.)

[Zedy]

Hey fellow verters!
What we also need is people with graphical skills, creating infographics, banners, t-shirts and what not.

I can do this, I've great design skills and also made a lot of shirts for companies.

I'll do anything to get the VTC value up - I've invested a lot in it

wierd. not sure if it would help but maybe try redownloading modified cgminer then? Sorry I don't know more. . you might get better luck w/ a response in the settings thread

Keep in mind there are many investors who do not know about VERT yet.  This run up was so quick that many people are just noticing now.  When Big Vern lists the market open on Cryptsy's feed everything is going to go nuts.  Wouldn't surprise me at all if VERT breaks top 10 market cap in next 48 hours.

Yes I agree with this - I still see a lot of "VTC, what is that?" in exchange trollboxes. Investors, as opposed to miners, still haven't really discovered this - they are about to in a big way.
