[ANN] ccminer 2.3 - opensource - GPL (tpruvot)

[pallas]

I get insanely high temps on my 1050Ti 4GB on Nicehash-Neoscrypt and -i switch does not solve the issue.
Any hint?

Thanks

Reduce power cap (TDP)

Which I've already done, on my MSI GE 7RE Apache Pro, which was at Comfort setting.
The problem is that with The Blocks Factory PXC pool I don't get these temps. Only with nicehash-Neoscrypt.

THX

and is the hashrate the same? because if with nicehash it's faster, you know where those Watts are going...

NH 400KH/s
BF 365KH/s

Fact is that having GPU at 86°C against 72°C IS really a problem

Since this is a thread about ccminer I'll try to bring this on topic.
I noticed a similar issue with neoscrypt using ccminer. It runs 7C higher than other algos.
It pushes my already hot 980 to 86C.

As Pallas implied higher hashrates require more power and produce higher temps which is usually
a good thing. But of all the algos that I think could stress a GPU that much, neoscrypt is low on the list.

Other than improving the cooling (I already have a box fan in front of my 980) I don't know that anything
can be done.

[Amph]

there are improvements with this last version over the 2.2 on bitcore?

With  ccminer-813-x64   i getting 1,5 mhs on Neoscrypt on  a 1080 ti Aorus without any oc !

[Supercoiner111]

Welcome to the discussion thread for my ccminer fork.

This variant was based on cbuchner1 v1.2 beta, and now supports colored output, stats API, multiple pools, conditional mining and time limits, and many other features.

It contains most algorithms, except the ones specifically made cpu such as m7m. Some of the first algorithms were implemented by djm34, adapted to be usable on both linux and windows.
My releases are generally tuned for the Geforce GTX 750Ti, which is a good reference for tests (Linux + Windows) and has less hashrate drop in activity (unlike the 9xx series).

For a comprehensive list of the algorithms supported as well as details about the various configuration parameters, please check the ReadMe file.

Tips and TricksTo Windows users using Opera or Chrome 37+ :
Type about://flags and disable WebGL, there is now a parameter on the main settings page (use hardware resources)
Chrome will be faster if you mine on the GPU (and the miner too )

Great update 2.2.1 has boost my card by 2-3 mhs compared to cwigm, it not enormous but still an increase which is much appreciated! Keep up the great work!

Could you add a better monitoring interface, similar to but better than cwigm in your next release?

[abudfv2008]

and is the hashrate the same? because if with nicehash it's faster, you know where those Watts are going...

NH 400KH/s
BF 365KH/s

Fact is that having GPU at 86°C against 72°C IS really a problem

What nicehash-neoscrypt miner are you talking about?

[crocozino]

there are improvements with this last version over the 2.2 on bitcore?

Hi If you are looking for improvements for bitcore algo - check SP's thread, because somebody have put into open SP's miner for 20% improvement over 2.2 ccminer
but I guess it won't be easy to find it there

Every single leaked/stolen sp_ miner put to open contains (real) trojan! So beware using those otherwise that 20% "improvement" can be in fact very pricey at the end.
Only those sp_ miners that are purchased by a donation directly to sp_ are safe to use!

Ah. I thought that nicehash added neoscrypt to their excavator and have higher hashrate.
P.S. Alexis78 neoscrypt is the fastest for 1060/1070(but need to lower OC for 1070). Klaus 813 fastest for 1080/1070(without need to lower OC for 1070)

Where can i find alexis78 latest ccminer for skein?

[Epsylon3]

yiimp.ccminer.org IP did not change, but there was a failsafe parking issue (with a long TTL value) in the DNS record sets...

So yep, instead of explaining how to flush the dns caches.. i preferred to use this new http://yiimp.eu domain (which is shorter to type also)

Sorry again, it could take some hours for a proper DNS update for ccminer.org

google public dns (8.8.8. is now ok (thanks to their manual flush feature)

The initial power off reason is still unknown... could be my UPS battery to change (will swap it if that happens again)

[AlteregoX]

So for the difficulty i have to use "--diff" right?

How about the values? the readme says "Divide difficulty by this factor (std is 1)"

Can anybody explain how to use that properly?

[Epsylon3]

you dont have to, its for weird pools

[AlteregoX]

you dont have to, its for weird pools

I just need to reduce the difficulty by a little bit, i can't use the PC at all with the miner running right now
