Any particular reason why SPR hasn't been picked up by one of the more established exchanges?

A legit crypto, with some innovation like SPR has, should be interesting for exchanges.

That's the problem with many techonologically innovative cryptos. They may have interesting new features, yet they have problems at PR department. It's our case. For some reason, big cryptocurrency related media such as cointelegraph seem to ignore us. Maybe someone have connections with journalists from such sites, so they can ask said journalists to write article or two about our coin.

Hello fellow enthusiasts!

If my hashrate would have been 6.5 mh, how often should I have found the block, an average ?

I can see 4 out of 6 rigs successfully connecting to one wallet for mining , but 2 others are getting

Code:

[2014-11-24 12:06:19] HTTP request failed: Operation timed out after 30997 milli
seconds with 0 out of -1 bytes received
[2014-11-24 12:06:19] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds

is there any limit on amount of connected rigs per wallet ?

6.5 MH/s out of 280 MH/s network hashrate would give you an average block time of 45ish minutes.

Default number of RPC threads in the wallet is 4, increasing that will allow for more connections to be handled. Command line or .conf, rpcthreads=somethinglargerthan4.

Is there anybody that understand how to configure the gpu miner for spread coin, i am using amd cards but i do not see any different in my hash rate when i use it.
Please kindly assist.

What card do you have? What OS? What about drivers? And miners may not work well out of the box, the may require some fine tuning.

What is "normal" (I mean currently achievable with tuning) hashrate for R9280X?

I see there are some miners with this card, but my setup performs just below 1 MH/s, way too slow in comparison with GTX 750Ti.
Any ideas? Do I really have absolutely badly tweaked miner, or the internals of the miner are not well optimised?

Andy

I've tried many combinations of parameters with my 280X,1 MH/s is the stable speed.

try amd-catalyst-14-9-win7-win8.1-64bit-dd-ccc-whql and follow the readme.txt step by step.

I have eyes on this coin but I think it need a good marketing to see it's real potential.

really liked the unique features of this.

yes,marketing is badly needed now.

[NoobKidOnTheBlock]

A little off topic but usually how long does it take to actually get something outta mining through the wallet? I've been steady mining and still haven't received a single coin? I'm just curious what the rewards are and what the average time is for them to be mined?

E.g if you hahrate is 2 mh/s and network hashrate is 300 mh/s then you will get on average 1 block every 150 minutes. So just divide network hashrate by your hashrate and you will get average intervals between your blocks in minutes. But in reality this is random process, so the actual spacing can be very different from average, you can get nothing for a long time or several blocks in a row. Current reward per block is 6.42 SPR.

Hashrate of built-in miner is low because it is CPU only, my CPU gives 120 kh/s which is 1 block in 1.5 days.

Thanks for the answer my friend

I've tried many combinations of parameters with my 280X,1 MH/s is the stable speed.

I am testing an improved miner that goes up to 2Mh/s on my r9 280x, but as i said, i am still testing it, so i am not responsible for it not working or working incorrectly for it. If you want early access to it, the source is on github (no, i will not release binaries, I will just hand it to the dev whenever i feel it is stable enough).

edit: forgot the github address for those who wan to test it:

https://github.com/girino/spreadcoinx11-sgminer

edit 2: and the command line that gave me 2Mh/s:

 ./sgminer -o "http://127.0.0.1:41677" -u user -p x --thread-concurrency 8192 --lookup-gap 2 --auto-fan --temp-target 65 --gpu-engine 1100 --worksize 256 -I 22

Only 18 people voted: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=868918
Come on, there are hundreds of us, go and vote or I will buy 1000 gpus and will mine all coins

I really want to use the  improved miner ,but I have no ideas how to compile it.

My 5 gpu rig wont run correctly gpu 2 gets disable right on start...
On other miners it run fine, any ideas anyone ??

edit: my tc was to high !

getting 2.1mhs avg with no oc on the 290

Not sure if you are talking about my optimized version, but answering anyway:

Have you tried with lower overclock? (if you used my example commandline, i'm using a 1100 oc, you might try to lower that a bit.) You can also try to lower the intensity. An intensity of 18 should be enough (with a slight decrease in performance though).

the code on github was also outdated. The version there was the one that goes only up to 1.6Mh/s. Updated with the newer code. Try cloning it again and see if it solves the problems you were having.

The difficulty is rising fast now

AMD GPU Miner
Windows binary: http://spreadcoin.net/files/Spread-GPU-miner.zip
Source code: https://github.com/spreadcoin-project/gpu-miner

What happened to the Windows binary download? So, I figure that we have to compile the source code ourselves I guess?
