Some very interesting information there... from both Dev + community...

Especially noted was this comment:

"I know Dr. Zach Harris personally (http://www.wired.com/2012/10/dkim-vulnerability-widespread/). He is a PhD Mathematician + Experienced Secure Code Analyst. I will ask him to check XC's code when atcsecure feels it is ready. Analyzing custom cryptography for any/all issues is Dr. Harris' area of expertise. And yes, this will be huge for XC from both security & marketing perspectives."

Seems like a pretty huge deal...

Never mined x11 before, but now's a good a time as any.   6 card 750 ti rig pointing to :5555 with new ccminer 3.5 -   Anyone know what MH I should expect on x11 with this rig?

6 should get you around 13 MH/s with the latest ccminer (be sure to use the 3.5-5.0 with the 750ti)

Allright, getting 2.1 per card now.  Pool reporting topping out at 12Mhs - (these are just the stock 750ti...no OC, no FTW, just 750ti).  Trying the 5.0 version of ccminer, and I'll switch back to the 3.5 here in a bit.  OC settings with precision at +125gpu/+500mem.   Gonna let it run for a while to make sure it's stable, then I'll try out the 3.5 ccminer version to see if I get any better.


Also... just picked up another 0.5 BTC worth of XC and cracked my first beer of the weekend so... yay!

m8 dont get me wrong, but, buying 6 750ti to mine scrypt is like buying a mini cooper and going off road. Let the pool take its due, 5,5MH for 6 750ti seems low, my 660ti gets up to 2MHZ on latest CC miner alone, and I know for a fact that one 750ti can get better than that, while running cooler and not needing so much watt.

Were I you, I would definitely hit the cudaminer thread, you totally need to finetune your cards if u dont get more than 10MH.


TL:DR 750ti has the best MH/watt/investment ratio for x11, you need better settings

Pool now reporting north of 13 Mhs so cheers!  Thanks everyone for the direction!

Interesting post from the AMA:

Q:

I guess I'm curious how many full time coders XC has? Is it only atcsecure and jasinlee right now? So, 2?
And, are any steps being taken to recruit coders? (I am assuming the more coders, the better)
**edit - I guess I meant coders working full-time on wallet tech (ie- REV2 / REV3 / EM / etc)

A:

Well it depends how you define coders. If you are talking about full time core development then 5. However there is also coders working on other projects like multipool, i'm working on merch store in spare time etc

To further break this down: 2 on Xnode, 2 on EMs/Ec and 1 on QT.

For anyone having troubles with mining.

AMD GPU Windows Mining:

Step 1: Download the XC Wallet and have your wallet address ready. http://xc-official.com/downloads.html

Step 2: Download the sgminer_x11mod. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623409.0
           Or the direct download link for the newest miner: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sodbzky1e3p2d32/sgminer_x11x13mod_03_06_2014.zip

Step 3: Unzip the miner somewhere on your computer.

Step 4: Open up Notepad and copy the following into notepad:


setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
color 04
sgminer -k x11mod -o stratum+tcp://stratum.hashevolved.com:5555 -u XW3ftzWsDCcrFSUxsepkE6XY4R274tgfwh -p x --intensity 18 --worksize 256 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 8192


Save this notepad file where you unzipped your miner. Save it as anything you want but make sure to type “.bat” at the end of it. For example “XCmpool.bat”

This will mine on the XC multipool. Change the address I posted above to your address or you will be mining for me. The password can be anything you please. You will have to mess around with the  other settings for it to work properly with your GPU.

With those settings on a ASUS 7870 I get ~1.860Mhash and on intensity 12 I get ~1.3MH.


Step 5: If you want you can download MSI Afterburner to further watch and tweak your GPU settings.

Step 6: Double click the “.bat” file you created. It may take a couple seconds or even a minute to load.

If you did everything correctly you should be mining. If the Command Prompt window opens briefly and then closes, then carefully make sure what you wrote in that Notepad .bat file matches to what I posted.

To Edit your notepad .bat file, side click the file and click Edit.



CPU Mining, Windows 64 Bit:

Step 1: See previous Step 1.

Step 2: Download the modifed minerd CPU miner from elmad: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5183682#msg5183682
                    Direct link to miner: https://mega.co.nz/#!pBZzQAII!yuvzhcnx3ezLre9fek_G67D0_IyiNqIbEHKY4cKdovA

Step 3: Unzip the file onto your computer.

Step 4: Open up Notepad and copy the following into notepad:


color 04
minerd-bdver1 -a X11 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.hashevolved.com:5555 -u XW3ftzWsDCcrFSUxsepkE6XY4R274tgfwh -p x -t4


Save this notepad file where you unzipped your miner. Save it as anything you want but make sure to type “.bat” at the end of it. For example “XCmpool.bat”

Again change the username to YOUR address unless you want to give me free coins.

You will need to read the README included with this miner to see which minerd you will use. I am using "bdver1" because I am running a AMD 8350.

Where it says "-t" is to designate how many cores/threads you want to run. If you want to run all cores just delete the "-t".


Step 5: Double click the “.bat” file you created. It should load up and start mining immediately if everything in the .bat file is correct.

Step 6: You don't have to, but I run a widget to display core usage and temperatures. This is solely for monitoring purposes.


For some CPU mining isn't worth it. Running half of my threads, ie: 4 threads on my 8350 I get 334 khash/s.

If your CPU is not supported you might have to look into a different CPU miner.



Hope this helps anyone.
