Why my cpuminer shows 500 H/s , but at minergate I can only see something like 100-120 H/s ? Last cpuminer version. The same thing occurs at extremepool.

my miner shows 200-300 H/s but I only see a constant 25H/s on moneropool.org

did not have this problem when mining on extremepool.org, but I'm not sure if this affects mining rewards at all

Well, actually, there are several optimizations. A while ago, LucasJones and I did the AES-NI instructions, allowing hardware acceleration. After that, I doubled the speed of the miner just about, comparing his repo to mine, with a number of optimizations: tightening up that one loop that executes like 250,000 times per hash, using mmap() options to speed up the memory access if it's available, stuff like that. I've been so busy coding I've hardly slept in days.

Will follow your thread from now on! Thanks for keeping us in the game .. without you staying up for insane amounts of time I can only imagine that someone might have just made a miner they didn't want to share (although I don't think they would have been able to put the kind of time necessary into it) . I think tomorrow I'm going to start up all my machines again and mine with them rather than just keeping the daemon up and solo mining on just one comp .. had to turn them off last week due to sad stuff .. but that's over now so I guess it's time to get back into the pools!

Oh Lord, I will not enter this discussion in earnest, otherwise I would never get any work done.

I add a more recent post of mine:

In that thread above you can find a debate between bitfreak! and myself on debasement.

As for animorex's diversionary red herring tactic on the word "selfish", I offer this:

Focus on the "Rise of Knowledge" essay and understand why savings must decay otherwise knowledge doesn't advance.

my 4770k at 4.7GHz gets like 200-300 H/s on 7 threads
is this due to the upgraded mining software that was released just these past few weeks?

Yes, actually it's been increasing rapidly with multiple updates the last few weeks.

One of the most recent updates takes advantage of AES acceleration in newer hardware (allowing you to maximize on 4 threads), while I believe the newest one takes advantage of the lightly used threads (not sure of the exact mechanism so if someone knows please correct) and fully maximizes the processor. I'm pretty sure NoodleDoodle/Wolf/LucasJones worked on the AES acceleration, but only saw Wolf talking about further maximization on top of that.

Could someone please add those optimizations to the bitmonerod.exe and simplewallet.exe? This is very important for orphan blocks and fast synchronization. I'm still solo mining with 130 H/s. I tested your latest optimizations in VirtualBox with Ubuntu, but it's much slower then the native windows bitmonerod.exe. I tried the pools few times and for 48 hours of mining in the pools I got just 0.1 MRO (should be much more, but no luck for the pools while I was mining). Solo mining and keeping a full node running 24/7 is still much more profitable and is much better for the network. Windows mining was slower then Linux most of the time except for a few days when the Windows version was faster with one of the NoodleDoodle optimizations. This is making profit mostly for the cloud mining on Azure and EC2 and they are dumping all of the mined MRO as soon as they get them, so on my opinion keeping the bitmonerod official version up to date with the latest hash rate optimizations is of high priority.

Stupid question, but how do I solo mine on linux?
If I start the ./bitmonerod daemon, does it solo mine automatically?
When I exit it, it says mining has completed or something like that, does it mean it is mining while running?

You should start simplewallet and give mine command to it.

[equipoise]

^In bitmonerod:

Code:

start_mining mro_address number_of_threads

Or in simplewallet while the bitmonerod is also started and synced:

Code:

start_mining number_of_threads

The wallet command is

Code:

start_mining [number of threads]

You can also go right into the daemon window and do:

Code:

start_mining [address] [number of threads]

thank you!

Are there deposit problems with MRO and Poloniex?

I sent several MRO 3 hours ago
They don't show even as pending at Poloniex!
ANd the daemon is synced...

[equipoise]

^There are deposit and withdraw problems. Sometimes it takes 1-8 hours to withdraw or deposit and sometimes it's instant. If it doesn't show in a few hours write them a ticket.

All right, people. You asked for Win64 binaries of the optimized miner, and finally, they're here. You want Win64 flavor - this thread is where you want to be: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=619373

thank

Thank you. Will test it and report the results

[atleticofa]

I would like to know...

It would be possible to see a GPU miner in the future?

I have problem withdrawing MRO from poloniex.

In simplewallet I wrote the address command to get my MRO address. This address I used to withdraw my MRO to. 12hours later I still haven't received my MRO.

[wallet XXXXX]: refresh
Starting refresh...
Refresh done, blocks received: 185                              
balance: 0.000000000000, unlocked balance: 0.000000000000

[wallet XXXXX]: balance
balance: 0.000000000000, unlocked balance: 0.000000000000

Whats wrong?

Check the withdraw history on your poloniex balance page. Whether or not you see it there, open a ticket with them at poloniex.freshdesk.com/support

I see it there with a status ERROR at the bottom of the page. Their site doesn't have a super intuitive UI. I have to open a ticket. Thanks for the help!

Does anyone know if a GPU implementation of CryptoNight is possible?
And if so, is already working on it?

If you see the hashrate starting to increase past the break even point of cloud mining by 20%+ then it's likely someone has a GPU miner.
