To the UTC Community

As I have said before - I cant sail this ship permanently because I am too busy but I am prepared to kick-start this rebirth of UTC by trying to tie up all the lose ends and put a team in place.  I will TRY to stick here until we get a suitable overall manager - or until I get kicked out. 

If it drags on too long I may have to bow out but I will give the community plenty of warning.  There will be a few periods where you won't hear from me for a few days because I am busy travelling/working (I'm often found in remote locations in Asia where I have no internet at all for up to 2 weeks sometimes) - but I will come back barring being kidnapped or suffering some other serious or fatal misfortune.

Cheers - usukan

we shall wait eagerly for your coming back..so do not forget to come soon.as it will be possible for you...

Don't worry - I'm still here and Steven and I are working on Ultracoin in the background.

Hope to have the LITE wallets out soon.

Problem With this coin is among other Things downloading the blockchain takes an eternity even if you download the zipfile.
It's gonna put most People off the coin.

They won't require the blockchain download.

That would help a lot

Guys,
While mining this I am always getting rejected, low difficulty error. Why is that? I am mining here: http://utc14.yacoin.club. I am using CGminer 3.7.2

You need to use cgminer-3.7.2-scrypt-jane https://www.nicehash.com/?p=news&id=41 with this parameters:
--sj-time 1446256800 --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax 14

Sorry..it did not work. I did download the CGminer again from the link you provided. Thanks in advance.

Sorry..it did not work. I did download the CGminer again from the link you provided. Thanks in advance.

This is the text in the .bat for one of my pool workers (R9 270x):

cgminer --scrypt-jane -g 2 --worksize 256 -I 9 --thread-concurrency 16384 -o stratum+tcp://utc14.yacoin.club:3413 -u [change to your worker name] -p [change to your password] --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax 14 --no-submit-stale

* Note:  This .bat text specifies "--scrypt-jane" and does not use  --sj-time 1446256800.  This works. Try it.

Thanks for "chipping-in" Chip254.

Hello guys! Well I'm a little bit confused, what is the purpose of the UltraCoin Token? This project will be developed further or the Waves token? Thanks!

[Chip254]

Just an observation RE some efficient hardware:

The GeForce GT 720 will hash UTC @ ~ 1.1 kh/s, drawing 19W TDP. 

In your .bat, use hardware config (-l) t17x3.

These are selling for around $30 USD on ebay.   Great for an inexpensive UTC starter rig, or if power costs are a concern. 

*This info is for UTC/scrypt-jane/scrypt-chacha coins only.  These cards will fry if you use them to mine a coin with a more intensive algo.

Purpose is an opportunity that can be drawn on if the community wishes to.

Android, iOS wallets, desktop lite wallets, tradeable on DEX to other currencies and FIAT  etc

I think there is no ultimate predetermined purpose - its just given to us by WAVES platform and its up to us to use it as we think is best.

Hello, regarding on ultracoin


For the ultracoin on the Waves platform, its another coin? or its the same coin as ultracoin itself which the supply is share within both waves blockchain and ultracoin chain itself?

Thanks

cgminer --scrypt-jane -g 2 --worksize 256 -I 9 --thread-concurrency 16384 -o stratum+tcp://utc14.yacoin.club:3413 -u [change to your worker name] -p [change to your password] --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax 14 --no-submit-stale

* Note:  This .bat text specifies "--scrypt-jane" and does not use  --sj-time 1446256800.  This works. Try it.

I tried these settings on two of my R9 270 rigs, and both froze within few seconds. I tried -I 5 on seconda rig, but it still froze.

Edit: mining started when I changed to -g 1, but I only get around 550 H/s with R9 270. That seems quite low compared to 1.1 KHs with GT 720 you mentioned.

Performance across brands can vary.  R9 270 is not the same as R9 270X.  2gb  vs. 4gb can have an impact.  Many variables.  I have some HD 7950s that under-perform on higher settings.  Yes, not entirely the same case, but it gives me some ideas. 

First, try a very basic .bat to check what your baseline is:

     cgminer --scrypt-jane -o stratum+tcp://utc14.yacoin.club:3413 -u [change to your worker name] -p [change to your password] --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax 14 --no-submit-stale


Then try this (just add -I setting) to see if things improve:

     cgminer --scrypt-jane -I 9 -o stratum+tcp://utc14.yacoin.club:3413 -u [change to your worker name] -p [change to your password] --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax 14 --no-submit-stale

Finally, try this (settings about 50% of the original .bat info posted):

     cgminer --scrypt-jane -g 1 --worksize 128 -I 9 --thread-concurrency 8192 -o stratum+tcp://utc14.yacoin.club:3413 -u [change to your worker name] -p [change to your password] --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax  14 --no-submit-stale

A couple of things to really pay attention to:  Intensity (-I) and  --thread-concurrency are great for augmenting hash performance - to a point.  Too high will greatly slow down, or lock up your whole rig.  -I too high will also generate hardware (HW:) errors.  Lots of HW is wasted hash - you are just heating the room, not solving blocks.

Every rig is different.  Experiment, and use whatever gives you the optimal result.

Thanks for the info. Most of these things I already knew, I've been mining (heavily) for past 5 years.

Could you post some reference hashrate values for cards you own? Scrypt Jane algorithm is far away from the spotlight. With Claymore miner for newer algorithms you can't influence hashrate with some settings as it was the case with older algorithms. And without some reference values it's hard to say if everything is working as expected.

Edit: room for tweaking is very limited. I get around 550 H/s with -I 8 and 1.05 KH/s with -I 9. Still, with -I 9 some of the cards occassionaly give HW.

Rig with 6 x 270 draws around 330W from the wall, much less than 580W while mining Zcash.

This seems to be very strange algorithm. Type of card somehow doesn't affect hashrate. My 280X and 270 cards give same hashrate with same intensity settings. That explains why that tiny GT720 with -I 9 also gives 1.1 KHs.

UTC hash rates for hardware in my rigs (@ Nf = 14)
R9 270X 4GB: 2.23 Kh/s x3 ( -I 9 cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-sj0.03)
HD 7950 3GB: 1.15 Kh/s x2 (-I 8 cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-sj0.03)
R7 240 4GB: 0.837 Kh/s x6 (-I 9 cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-sj0.03)
GTX 750 Ti 2GB: 2.20 Kh/s x1 ( t64x1 cudaminer-2014-02-28)
GT 740 1GB: 1.30 Kh/s x1 (k4x25 cudaminer-2014-02-28)
GT 720 1GB: 1.13 Kh/s x4 (t17x3 -or- t26x2 cudaminer-2014-02-28)

Also investigating viability of the GT710, as it reportedly hashes 50% better than the GT720 @ the same ~19W TDP.  The card is laughable for games/graphics performance, but has potential for UTC @ Nf=14.  If my test GT710 holds up, I will be creating some super-cheap 5x rigs.

Very good release.Good job man.

[Valpe]

Hi

Are these hash rates from pool end or from miner?
Thanks!

I made one rig with one gpu  (two years break). Waiting more information (GT710) and then I am going to buy more gpu's. Pool is working and no problems at all.
Seems that low end cards are mining quite good. 

Scrypt-jane algorithm is really undervalued.
