[ANN] [ASIC-RESISTANT] UltraCoin (UTC) - Ultrafast 6 second transactions!!

Albert, try these and see what you get for hashrate and if any HW errors, all these 7950 are different. I see you have Elpida memory. I have six of those and they work better than the ones with Hynex, although I think it is the vrm that is less quality. After each setting open up GPU-Z and check the sensors tab to see how much memory you are using on the card, more is better and usually gives a better WU. I have learned that using HWInfo is better and more accurate than GPU-Z for win8.1
1)      -g 2 --thread-concurrency 19712 --lookup-gap 2 -I 12
2)      -g 2  --thread-concurrency 23296 --lookup-gap 3 -I 12
3)      -g 2  --thread-concurrency 16128   --lookup-gap 2 -I 12

NOTE: The n-factor is about to change so these settings might not work, you have about an hour! so maybe just wait.

difficulty at 2! n-factor change scaring people off??? Or nitro pool domination KILLING the other pools off. We should just call it UltraNitroCoin.....zooooom!
 So how does this pool thing work anyway. Nitro has 1200+ miners,  I doubt the miners could collude together to co-ordinate a 51% attack so is it the pool operater that could coordinate an attack. Just curios where the actual threat is.

dones the NFACTOR kicks in?

I'm not mining, but didn't the N-factor just kick in, diff would half if it did.

[Protagonus]

N factor change 13 minutes.

It hasn't kicked in yet. It's still another 10mins away.

Having a pool with >50% isn't that dangerous. But it does cause problems for other pools.

Ultracoin isn't the only with this problem however.
Other non-scrypt coins usually end up with 1 big pool and less than a handful of small pools also. (due to lack of multi-pools)
Once there are adaptive-N multi-pools, we won't have this monopoly-pool issue. (although it doesn't really benefit Ultracoin)

Yes, I have the sound of Jaws running through my head, just waiting. Da dun, da dun, dun dun dun dun!

expect an N factor delay withing some time (extending the gpu era)

That's for the next N-factor. Not for today's one. (5 minutes now)

I'll come back and play for a little bit with the ultracoin miner and see what I get when it changes.


edit: are you sure it hasn't already changed.  I got all HW errors as soon as I started with my old miner settings that worked last week.  ]

edit: and my rate is halved.

[jakiman]

N factor just kicked in. I started getting HW errors.

Yep, HW's flying all over the place
Alrighty, then, lets get this party started :-)

Adjusted my miners ahead of time - mining perfectly fine without HW errors

You don't count.  We normal people still have work to do

lol, yeah working my bumm of right here

[projectdimpreza]

Does anyone have a new settings for 280x for the current n factor?

[jakiman]

With 280x, roughly what hash rate is considered good now? About 60-70Kh/s?

[cointradero]

This would be so much easier without 4 cards.

[regnevacs]

no one is sharing since they want to mine all those UTCs

Well, I was getting 135Kh/s before. So far I managed only 35Kh/s withouth HW errors. =(
I assume that's not optimal. So until I can get higher, I won't be posting any bad configs.
