they are damn good hashrates ...

if there is a miner for linux that can do those hasrates for quark - we would be happy to discuss ...

as long as the miner doesnt have malicious code ... which we would only test via a development system initially anyway ...

let me know ...

#crysx

It's from the Kachur miner dev - I'd treat with initial caution, but I've seen no evidence of it doing anything malicious so far.

guessing you dont have one that does better? ...

God only knows. I can't tell - people post screenshots with absurd rates like 18MH/s on a 280X, but with 10%+ rejects - and I've STILL not seen a 290X for comparison. My estimate is mine is slightly worse than his on 280X, slightly better on 290X, but not sure. I've not imported my latest implementations of the hash functions into Quark yet, though; I've been busy with my full-custom miner, plus one other algo I'm toying with.

well - id be very happy to throw some btc bits towards the quark optimization ...

edit - im just getting really tired of these 'windows only' miners that dont come with ( at least ) a linux static build version - if not the source itself ...

though i would really like to see this new miner ...

I'm one person!

i know - and i edited the above post ...

good things take time ... but its preferrable to be joining the journey rather than just wait and see - and then use the miner when its released ...

Well, it'll be a minor disappointment to know that the miner itself will be closed; however, due to its design, few would consider it a security risk. Running as a daemon on miners, the only output meant for the user being the API, the worst it could do is steal hashrate for a time until it was noticed and purged. The frontend, that the user sees and interacts with, will be open source - as well as the API documented, so others can make special-purpose frontends, or simply ones offering different layouts or functionality. I plan to support Windows and Linux, as well.

This is a longer-term project, though - I don't know how long it's going to take me - but I want to do it properly from the start, to make something with functionality that is useful and currently missing, or hacked together, and something that is easy to adapt to new algos and such. For example, the generic algorithm code is mostly done; besides anything I might think of later (the implementation of which will probably be optional), algorithms can be added by writing four functions - the only existing code that needs to be modified is adding the algorithm name to one array, and a corresponding entry in another with the function pointer of the initialization function. I can even see a possibility of algorithms being shared libraries, in fact - while Windows' DllMain() isn't quite ideal for the init function I use, the cleanup function could be implemented in it, which will be run when the library is unloaded.

well - as modular as it sounds - it seems that you are designing a 'system' rather than a miner ...

which makes for a very good way of mining AND implementing ( using front ends and api's ) ...

this is something to watch closely - especially if you intend on releasing it this year ...

i put my hand up to be first ( or at least one of ) in line to test ... ...

especially the linux versions ...

Has anyone noticed just how many new GPU alt coins failed or have fallen to worthless values in April and May?

There was this one coin, Enigma [EGMA] were the coin go delisted from every exchange, because the developer could not even design a working wallet

Then, there is Bitlux [LUX], which is now virtually worthless. Similarly, there is Sixteenbit, which is again worthless.

Bitlux only got beautiful pictures of models.

Yeah, but at least Bitlux Windows wallets worked, Sixteenbit did not have working Windows wallets.

[pallas]

are you saying that cpu coins are going better? or PoS?

[thevictimofuktyranny]

Nope,

I'm just point out that 95% of the new GPU Alts coins are failing!

In the last 2 months only 2 new alts Cypher and Driodz have held any kind of real value.

Both of those are now POS, after POW stage.

In the future, it may be best to stay away from new ninja coin launches and ICO offerings over the next few months

[Corsa1r]

well it looks like you need to have your own customized miner to stay in the game these days so naturally 95% of all gpu coins will fail

Here's a nice one..

check out that hash rate..

this was 8ghs )) https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=miners&a=12&addr=1GMy4ASNFDVdn3oLYsvgFX5H27Hx2v65Mv

Yeah i know, i saw that one too, those were like 200 machines.

This one is 12.. check those hash rates.. 500-600MH per machine..

[rednoW]

This one is 12.. check those hash rates.. 500-600MH per machine..

Several machines on 1 worker? Or asic?

Probably the first one....

[smokiepot]

or rented hasrate ?

[chrysophylax]

rented AND several machines on a single worker ...

thats the easiest way to do it ...

Is there a place with such cheap rented quark power that it will be profitable to sell it to nicehash? )))

our farm is being rented ( and mines ) from / through mintsy at the moment ...

its not difficult to point the miners at nicehash and the entire farm can be rented out that way using quark ...

so any miner / farm can do it that way ...

for the moment though - we have set it all on x11 ...

one rental is about to finish - and unfortunately for that one - one of the systems locked up so they are not getting the entire hashrate ...

refunds occur when things like that happens and its below the advertised hashrate ...

but simply put - a farm can be set to quark - then pointed at nicehash / mintsy - then rented out that way ...

what you are willing to pay for is up to you - and what is available at the time ...

Anyone having anything good for AMD 290 ?

now my 280x are killing those 290's

well, settings, bin, miner that is optimized for quark

sorry i havent been clear enough, just woked up
