[ANN] HelixCoin [HXC] SHA3 - ON TO CRYSTAL! - EXCHANGED

[jsamul]

I never mined sha3 before can anybody help me out here

i got a 6950 card and the cgminer downloaded but cant figure out what the command lines are

i now have..


setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

C:\xxxxxxxxxx\cgminer --keccak -d 0 --temp-cutoff 83 -I 19 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 -o stratum+tcp://hxce[Suspicious link removed]t2pools.com:6020 -u XXXX -p XXXX


But i doesnt do it

i think for keccak the maximum instensity is 14.
also i would say TC, shaders and such kind of setting is not needed for keccak as it uses only GPU and not the RAM

u can also lower the mem clock as low as possible to save some power and stress.

Are you using right miner? Normal cgminer doesnt work i think.. you have to have a different version of cgminer that works with Keccak algo, so find it somewhere in maxcoin or helixcoin forums as they both are same. And about your 6950 card i dont know the settings but -I 19 may not work, you have to lower down your intensity to 5,6, or around 7 coz this algo is different and you will get half of your hashing rate then mining normal scrypt coins.

Ok thnx, yes i download the cgminer from the op. Ill try lowering the intensity later on. Thnx for the reply.

VERY LOW EXCHANGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Soooooo sad.......

Hashpower is decreasing gradually as the price is decreasing.  

indeed, time to solomine again for better profit

Please can somebody tell me how to get my wallet syncing. Dunno wots going on here

The config file that should be in the same folder as your wallet needs to be moved to your appdata\roaming folder for Helixcoin. For some reason Maxcoin and Helixcoin both were done this way, requiring the manual moving of the file to that folder.

at some point today I intend to add more lines to the automatic configuration script so that it will be a non issue for users not that familiar with coins

any ideas how to disable cpu while mining with gpu in random helix pools. It seems to me that with every pool while mining, cpu pops to 100%, only dwarfpool used just gpu so far. Others used gpu+cpu, but cpu was not visually shown in cgminer

I have experienced similar high cpu usage. On an i5 with 2 r9 290s the cpu was pegged at 60%, and for 4 r9 290 the i5 100%.
The CPU is not directly being used by the miner, it is indirectly impacted by all of the data movement. Despite this, the overall power use is still less than scrypt.
Ive also found that you can use the miner like a pc when mining at full tilt, which is another benefit of sha3

[fcode]

All the data movement shouldn't even be a blip on your CPU usage. I think I get about 0% to 0.7% CPU usage on cgminer on a low-end Celeron.

If you're getting high CPU usage then something is wrong. Make sure "gen=0" is in the helixcoin.conf file.  If you're on Linux make sure it's using the libOpenCL from the fglrx install and not the broken one from the AMD APP SDK (this might apply to Windows also, I have no idea). The broken SDK libopencl causes an irq storm.

Cheers mate. All sorted. Much Appreciatiatedv:)

I really think the sha3 is better than scrypt,thanks for the dev

That was an oversimplification, yes

Mind you, Sha3 is different from scrypt and i can confirm that the cpu usage is from the sha3 cgminer and not a wallet with setgenerate turned on.

I couldnt tell you exactly why sha3 uses cpu like it does, but there are no negative impacts observed by the dev team, so we quite like the algorithm

Come on boys , let me vote for HXC here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Added to OP

Maybe you should wait for price to rise,and then sell one part of premine for BTC also we could donate a little bit and to buy votes on mintpal? What do you think?

I think you are right,op must buy votes on mintpal

What I'm saying is that I get essentially 0% CPU on the sha-3 cgminer.   If you're seeing high CPU then something is wrong.    Are you seeing this issue on Windows or Linux?

mining now!!!!!!!!!!!

Seems exceedingly common on winderps. Dang amd drivers some of the time....

I am using Windows 7 64bit, and I too can confirm High usage of CPU with CGMiner when mining this coin I do not get as high a number I am getting around 50-60%

[Helix-Coin]

Even with increased CPU usage i have noted power savings and definitely lower noise because of less heat.
CPU use worthwhile trade to avoid the countless scrypt coins and save power+noise+heat.

[SummersideGuy]

WTF are you talking about, I have memory downclocked and my 280x is still at 84C with fans running full tilt, i see no benefits here
