[XMR] Monero Mining

[Eastwind]

will they also can mine monero? If yes, huge difficulty jump is comming.

Cryptnote is not popular enough to warrant ASIC miner.

You can break Google's 8 core limit on trial by using "container engine" (cluster). Sometimes when new project created the limit is 24 core, so create a cluster with 2x 8 core nodes (+1 main) = 24 core. Create several projects. On your own risk indeed.

And don't forget to point your hashrate to my pool http://hashinvest.net.

Cheers.

Thanks for the tip but I tried on three different projects and I was still limited to 8 cores max per region.

I don't know how you did it.

Use Container engine.

I did. I was still limited to 8 cores per region, even if I tried creating a cluster of 2 nodes (plus master node) with 8 cores per node.  Which is what worked for you.

I started 2 new projects and tried different ways and I was still limited to the 8 cores max per region quota.

Don't waste your time with dumbass 5woop.  His activities are limited to 50% efficiency by having his hand permanently on his dick.

And yet 50%?  That's impressive.  I would be down much more than half under those conditions.

If any of you is located in the US or the rest of the Americas, for lower latency please give it a try to my pool at https://monerohash.com . Thanks!

Have been mining here for over 4 months now.  Solid!

So I'm fairly new to all this but have been following Monero since July.

I have a question for any of the devs that might be reading in this thread. ( I see Smooth on here from time to time so maybe he can answer this)

Are there any significant changes in store for mining? or any big problems that need to be worked out? Efficiency issues or anything I just don't understand?

My rig is doing well.  I do hope this coin NEVER goes to ASIC.

if you have 5khs +
i suggest you solo mining you will see you will earn %90+

Today, there is not enough incentive for the ASIC manufacturer to do so.
But as Monero get successful, manufacturers will be tempted and we could see some Monero ASIC in a near future.
By this time if you still hodl Monero, you'll be rich, no doubt.

Near future?

I hope you are right but sounds optimistic to me.

I agree with the fundamental premise though, if there is enough money at stake people will spend money optimizing it.

Monero vein / seam (similar to in real mining, like a coal seam http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_coal_seam

Has anyone else encountered this, or is it just selective memory?

It seems that sometimes you can get a run of found blocks. Granted, this has only happened twice to me, but still think its odd.

I'd guess this is just human propensity to look for patterns where there may or may not be any.

Very common in gambling.
It's a common bias for humans when dealing with poisson distributions. For instance we often have the impression plane crashes happen in series, in a non random way.

^^^^ thanks for that word "Apophenia"

could be a good name for a blockchain compression algorithm I dreamed up

Hey, cheeznuts, I got it to work.

anyone tried the gtx 960?

Thinking about upgrading my mining rig and looking at the 750 ti or gtx 960 depending on hash/watt.

i remember someone saying the has / watt ends up being about equivalent, and when comparing 750 ti to anything above, its really about how many pci slots you want to take up - 2-3 750 tis or one 960 kinda thing. And then it gets to a price / hash / watt.

Thank you for the hash/watt info. 

Right now I´m running 10 280x card over 3 rigs. Would be nice not to have ro run more then that and keep the same hash with lower watt.

Do you know what hash you could expect from a 960?

750 ti looks like about 250-300 hash / 35 watt for $129
960 about ? hash / ? watt for $200

Looks like I have to do some more research.
