merc84,

Oh I remember these days too 

I'm working on the pool, you want to help test the Beta pool as well? I'm trying to get that setup in the next few days.

I'll help test the pool too.  I have 20 cores on it right now, but will spin up a bunch of virtual machines if you want to load test, just let me know

I can help, if you need I can install pool beta version on my personal server.

MP if you are interested Mr Viz.

Would really appreciate a mining guide. Have 400pps worth of cloud servers waiting to start mining.

I need to sign up but I'm kinda high atm 

getting hard to find blocks again, might stop on my lower spec cpus until the pools arrive
tbh I'm hoping they're up before the 7th or another optimisation is released

I only had about 10 minutes of free time yesterday to implement some basic optimization ideas, but I will dedicate an hour this coming weekend to have them fully implemented. Expected increase in performance: 4x minimum.

Hard to mine now.

[merc84]

Not so bad still finding blocks every day with 3 cpu

[paulthetafy]

I'm still getting a very high orphan rate, which seems strange since blocks are coming in at a steady rate near target.  In 48 hours I have had 15 blocks, 6 of which were orphans.  Any thoughts?

edit: It seems difficulty doesn't rise as quickly as it could, maybe I should make it a little more aggressive to stop these double blocks with a node having a lot of computing power. What do you think Paul? This can go live with all the other 10/7 updates.

I would be interested in helping to test the pool as well if it will help.  Only have an 8 core CPU but so far have not really been able to mine so have been waiting for a pool anyways.

[Videlicet]

For pool, testing, and Core 1.0.1 updates go to Our Forum Chatbox.


This is where I will be for better communication

Guys this orphan rate is shocking.  I'm now up to 17 blocks, 8 of which are orphans.  Orphans should be very rare now as blocks are not being found particularly quickly.  WTF is going on?

Paul,

If you send me your debug.log file I can investigate. videlicet8@gmail.com

I've been studying supercomputer's mining code and I am puzzled by the use of an unsigned long (32bit) return type in the PrimeSieve function.

here we're definitely truncating zTempVar from 64bit to 32bit.

Code:

				// calculate offset
				mpz_sub(zTempVar, zPrimeOriginOffset, zPrimeOrigin);

				nonce = mpz_get_ui(zTempVar);
				gmp_printf("i: %d, zTempVar: %Zd, nonce: %u\n", i, zTempVar, nonce);

Can anyone shed light on this? I am puzzled how any share can be accepted when the bitness of the nonce gets truncated so radically.

EDIT: I am on a Microsoft machine (Visual Studio), so maybe that makes a difference, according to this blurb I found on the Internet:

"The true "war" was for sizeof(long), where Microsoft decided for sizeof(long) == 4 (LLP64) while nearly everyone else decided for sizeof(long) == 8 (LP64)."

Christian

[Videlicet]

nNonce is offset from the Hash to the Prime Cluster.

Try This:
uint64 nonce = mpz_get_ui(zTempVar);
printf("nNonce = %llu\n", nonce);

%u usually only outputs up to 32 bits

Hello there!

Any news about when the source will be available?!

[cbuchner1]

%u usually only outputs up to 32 bits 

Viz.

the %u restriction is clear, but also sizeof(unsigned long) = 4 on Windows 64 bit in Visual Studio.

So I had to change some unsigned long occurences to uint64 and use MPIR instead of GMP (the gmp.h header file also used unsigned long to pass 64 bit types, which won't work on Windows. The mpir.h header files fixes this.)

Did you end up finding where the issue resides?
