what exactly are these settings. -l, --launch=CONFIG launch config for the Cryptonight kernel. a comma separated list of values in form of AxB where A is the number of threads to run in each thread block and B is the number of thread blocks to launch. If less values than devices in use are provided, the last value will be used for the remaining devices. If you don't need to vary the value between devices, you can just enter a single value and it will be used for all devices. -f, --diff Divide difficulty by this factor (std is 1) I am running an nVIDIA gtx 980 looking at the -l I set mine to 8x64 - I need to set the B value to a whole number divisible by 16 (smx count of 16 for this card) I have tried 8x128 and I get larger +520h/s but very inconsistent... it will jump all over one will be 540 the next will be 128 ... average it out over a length of time and I would get approx 300+h/s average over 12 hours. I have tried other combos all with a B value divisible by 16. and 8x64 gives me about 430h/s average over 12 hours. What is the -f for exactly i leave it alone for lack of knowing what the point of this setting is. Here is why I ask.. If I run https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=770064.0 and mine X11 algo for Dash.. I get approx 12,000 kh/s average. (setting intensity to 21 and maxing my GPU to approx 1550MHz ) - my GPU Temp Climbs up and I have it holding at 80°C When I run Cryptonight Algo for XMR on tsiv ccminer I am getting a fair h/s (430 avg) but it does not seem like my GPU is really working that hard.. It does not seem to help or hinder it to overclock the GPU also my temperature never even gets above 55°C - Fans hardly run at all what am I doing wrong with my settings.. ( besides trying to mine Monero in the first place)

well I guess that is the case... its just not hard on my GPU...
I am looking for a coin to mine that i can make some cash on .. I have two 980 cards and one 970 and I am finding that monero or even bytecoin makes more money per day than dash or quark
I am not looking to break the bank.. but I have these cards at my disposal and never turn off my computers at work anyway.. so might as well make some money on the side.

get your hands on sp's ccminer fork - and mine quark on nicehash / westhash or yaamp ... seriously - it is one of the highest paying algos at the moment - and those cards will hammer pretty hard ... here ... 1.5.45(sp-MOD) is available here: (18-april-2015) https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/releases/tag/1.5.45The sourcecode is available here: https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminerhope this works out for you ... #crysx

Run the numbers on X11. actually did try this this weekend ran on x11/Dash at miningpoolhub and I think it was about the same 7 cents for 24 hours on one of the cards (after conversion and fees and donations ) was getting 10,000 to 12,000 kh/s

please help me with error- fatal: failed to allocate device memory for long state ccminer videocard 8800gt
operating system? are u using tsivs ccminer? i try on win 7 64 and win xp ccminer download from https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonighti replaced my geforce 660gtx which worked well [2015-02-24 23:27:08] Ignoring algo switch, this program does only cryptonight n ow. [2015-02-24 23:27:08] Using JSON-RPC 2.0 [2015-02-24 23:27:08] 1 miner threads started, using 'cryptonight' algorithm. [2015-02-24 23:27:08] GPU #0: GeForce 8800 GT (14 SMX), using 40 blocks of 8 thr eads [2015-02-24 23:27:08] Starting Stratum on stratum+tcp://qcn.pool.minergate.com:4 5550 [2015-02-24 23:27:08] GPU #0: Warning: block count 40 is not a multiple of SMX c ount 14. [2015-02-24 23:27:08] GPU #0: FATAL: failed to allocate device memory for long s tate http://shot.qip.ru/00CcJy-6jjb2KxP7/I notice a couple problems... One the Geforce 8800 Gt has 512Mb of memory so to start we need to adjust your hash per thread ratio. the default count of 8x40 is 640Mb worth so lets lower it to a number your card likes.. Also the SMX factor is 14 for that card, so I think your second number has to be divisible by 14 add -l 7x28 to your startup batch file or configuration. (that is a small L not a number 1 or a letter i ) Another problem or oversight.. not sure which... your address is incorrect.. if you want to mine QCN you need to go to port 45570 not 45550 also just go ahead and omit the -a cryptonight since it is redundant if you are using the cryptonight only miner software example: ccminer -l 7x28 -o stratum+tcp://qcn.pool.minergate.com:45570 -u yourmail.address.com -p x I hope this helps

Proportional bounties can be obtained for successive increases in hashrate. So, 10% increase in hashrate gets 10% of the bounty. Discussion about the bounty will now occur on this thread. I need to dig through and see who still has active bounties up from this thread.

crap, need to find a better SHA256 website or something. My quick googling lead me to crap apparently, because im getting different hashes from different websites. Some remove whitespace or line breaks or something. Anyone got a good one? Overkill. But fun!

According to the OP, these bounties were pledged for an open sourced AMD miner -Keyboard-Mash: 150 XMR -HardwarePal: 1 BTC -Smooth: 300 XMR -othe: 50 XMR according to https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=656841.msg11079019#msg11079019Smooth's 300 is still active G2M put up one for 150 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=656841.msg11079351#msg11079351So total recent monero put up for SOME kind of bounty. *Smooth: 300 *G2M: 150 GingerAle: 200 Jwinterm: 35 Chocolatebar: 2000 owlcatz: 200 Lloydmiller4: 500 - 1000 though the asterisked ones were for the original open source AMD bounty, not necessarily a miner with 2X hashrate. So 3885 is the total up for something. Anything. To happen in this space.

My private cryptonight kernal is around 10% faster on windows(windows executable). It can be yours for a 0.2 BTC donation. Then you also get my private spreadcoin miner with sourcecode (linux compatible).. (8.75-10% faster) NVIDIA (ccminer)
