CPU Mining - Who will emerge Dominant?

[Bobnova]

I'd be hard pressed to aim my miner at it otherwise

Actually it's having issues, the reporting interval for the miner (this is on windows) appears to be one hash long.  It works correctly for a while, then starts scrolling like mad.  It can't keep up with itself (no scrolling 6x1000 lines per second) and produces squat.
It's only when pointed to Simplecoin that it does it too, strange stuff.

Hmmmmmm... windows or linux ? Are you sure that you are running the most recent ("r3") minerd ?

No matter what you say SC will always NOT be the first and will simply be an iteration of Tenebrix.

GPU hostility or better known as parallel computing hostility was tried and failed awhile back by cryptographers trying to come up with a hashing solution that couldn't be cracked by the likes of GPU's and FPGA's. Same principle applies here.

Works for me and rather than get greedy, I'll simply drop a single 5770 on it and rack up hella lot of coin. A single 5770 will compute like 30 Core i7-2600's  

You know you're from the bay area when...

Win7, original minerd I think.  Figured out what it is, it doesn't like longpoll.
I'll try R3 if I can find it, new and improved!

[Lolcust]

You can download win-pak with r3 in it from www.tenebrix.org

Minerd before r3 has a longpoll glitch

P.S.:
I know TBX offsite is a rather ugly mofo (will work on it), but that hardly justifies not checking it out

Grabbed the pack in the current first post of the TBX thread, things are working nicely now.

Just downloaded the R3 hopefully this time it will be smooth for all my computers.

Dunno, it's still plenty profitable around here, and that's at $0.30/kWh...
Unless you have a P4 or pay like $1/kWh ... how on earth do you end up with a loss?

it would also be only barely profitable for me. similar electricity rate, additional power measured with wattmeter. the rig has only an athlon x2 240e. 


btw... have your released your tenebrix gpu miner to the public or are you planning to do so?

buy a 1055T used from overclock.net for $120, mine, profit.  it's only about an extra 100w per day.  1055Ts are the new 5850s.

If not tenebrix some other CPU mining operation will take over.  As long as it costs barely nothing new to mine it, people will be in for it.

I'd have to get a new motherboard
and for single-threaded applications it would be the same speed as my E8400 which has a 3ghz clock (so it might be actually faster in some cases)

Yep, AMD sucks at single thread performance compared to Intel. If you are buying Phenom II now you are an idiot. Wait for Bulldozer fools !

by the time it comes out the phenom might have already paid itself off

Considering the rumored release date and vastly improved cache size and architectural improvements.....highly unlikely,Bulldozer FTW.

I still find that using the current two CPU coins, after a certain period of time, my computer with the most cores tend to behave weirdly processing very few hashes extremely quickly, have to stop and restart, whereas those with few cores are more stable.  Wonder anyone having the same issues?

You know, it'd be simpler if you posted bug reports in easier to find places.
This happens with low --scantime and is inherited from upstream cpuminer.
This commit should fix it: https://github.com/ArtForz/cpuminer/commit/99084f8be4de50789345c42ae1e56378496c2981

 I haven't noticed any such thing,My processor is also overclocked by 1 Ghz and haven't noticed any issues after ~9 hours of cpu mining Tenebrix.I've been getting quite a lot proofs of work being done without issue.

Now if only I can get Solidcoin and Tenebrix via merged CPU-only mining this would be really quite profitable w/namecoin and BTC on GPUs,hehe.


edit:Looks like ArtForz got to your issue quicker.

That is what needs to happen ASAP ATM !!!

You guys code faster than my CPUs , thanks a million, but is there an official place where we can put in such reports? Cheers
