Decred #5 and Vanilla #3 is ready to be sendt to the donators. (0.2BTC)

hey sp I am a Decred donator and I have not received version #5, can you send it through? I would like to test it

You need to donate another 0.1 BTC. Then you get the vanilla kernal + decred updates.

SP I donated for decred miner and for the updates, and it will not hash at full speed to the pool I have tried every setting and combo, if you did the right thing you would keep updating the miner without further "donations"... if I wanted the vanilla kernal I would have bought it. I dontated for the decred kernal and future updates.

When you released decred #1 you did NOT explain the fact that you planed on asking for more BTC for continuing updates after a curtain amount of "updates". Put yourself In my shoes SP.. this is clearly  quite a distasteful act.
how are you ever going to make it if you keep pulling these types of moves to your own customers?

do the right thing SP and look after your donators and fix and update the decred miner.

In future if you are going to ask for further donations after 4 updates then you should clearly say so man

 

[CrazyRussian]

Wait a second, for decred donators decred #5 costs an additional 0.1 BTC?

It includes the optimized V-cash kernal. 13% faster

Send you 0.1BTC on beer.

750ti CARDS MINE DECRED--

Sorry, it looks like I am wading into turbulent water.  A 750ti card can mine ETH at about 5MH/s in Linux, or DECRED (DCR) at full speed on Linux or Windows.  Right now, my Linux 750ti rig is mining DCR at 480MH/s per card with tpruvot CCminer v 1.7.4 .  I am not sure what speed my 6x 750ti FTW rig will mine DCR because I haven't kept up with the DCR CCminer updates from sp_ , and the posted reports are not ringing true, or lining up, or consistant in any good way.

But if you run the numbers, my 750ti rig would be earning about the same mining ETH at 2/3 speed (5MH/s) or DCR at top speed (600MH/s??? per card).  So, what is true?  I could burn another image to a spare USB stick and switch to ETH, or stay with DCR and tpruvot, or send 0.1BTC for DCR/Vanilla deluxe edition to sp_ .

I am considering accepting donations for my Lubuntu/Genoil's CUDA Ethminer image, but I don't think it is bug free.  It takes a 16GB stick, and is not fancy like other distributions (BAMT/KopiemTu/PIMP)

Any feedback is welcome.       --scryptr

One of my buyers have spread #4 all over the internet.

With all due respect I don't care if you give a puppy with it but if you ask me it's pretty shitty that there's zero transparency and planning going on with your releases and so you just decide to bundle something else in and double the price tag of something we thought we already paid for and included further ompimizations.

I'm not sure if you're serious or just curious how far you can go until people start sharing your private releases behind your back. Not that I would do that.


I know that you can't quantify in advance how much speed you can get with your optimizations but please have some sort of transparent plan so we know what we can expect without surprises.

Yup... considering it's not a speed, but a bugfix I need right now and I have been waiting for (local mine speed vs pool speed).

All this just for some bug in hashrate for one of the private release? You are really in hurry to judge sp_.
I have used private ccminers for spreadcoin from sp and was happy with these : If I remember correctly one of the release had some bugs too. For me this is somewhat normal (zero-bug software are really rare afterall) as long as sp is actively fixing the bugs.

I didn't bought decred ccminer (I have R9 290X mining eth now), but with giving away this ccminer you are punishing other people who have bought this miner.

Don't quote his posts with the links in it.

Is this fixed on any pool other then yaamp clones?


Although I don't think this matters that much. Dagpocalypse is happening right now and there are a lot of cards getting booted off of Eth, it probably wont be long before bitching hits the forums and it goes PoS. They all seem to be flocked to Decred as well. This is a good case study for how much GPU mining has grown and how other coins will handle it.

That's exactly right, 5 Mh/s of Eth and 600 Mh/s of Decred currently earns exactly the same amount ($1.36) per 750 Ti per day. (source: http://karldiab.com/EthereumMiningCalculator/ and http://decred-calc.cryptohub.info/)
But Eth I think uses a tiny bit less electricity (it does on the 970).

I'm not sure how fast the private Vanilla version is but with 1100 Mh/s you'd get about $0.85 per day currently.

I don't care about Vanilla, there are several coins that are more profitable consistently (and all have decent wallets) and I'm certainly not going to buy the private miner.

DECRED BETA #6--

I did get a copy (finally) of DECRED beta #6.  It runs at 535MH/s per GTX 750ti FTW mining DCR, compiled with CUDA 6.5, using SuprNova pool with port 9111 (difficulty 4).  The exact same setup, mining with tpruvot 1.7.4, also compiled with CUDA 6.5, and connected to SuprNova pool on the same port, mined at 485MH/s.  That is a +50MH/s increase, or roughly +10%.

I will monitor SuprNova pool stats, and report after watching for a few hours.  I know that fluctuation is normal for pool stats.  Local console readings are usually steady.


In putting my 280X cards back online, I've missed out on some of the last few days of nVidia thrills and spills.  Oh, well...  My next 750ti rig will be CUDA 7.5, my rock-steady rig is not changing configuration yet.     --scryptr

The bug is only present on some computers with slow cpu'.'s. On one of my rigs. 6x 750ti celeron windows 8 release #5 used 50% cpu. Release #6 is using 25% cpu. If I reduce the the intensity, the cpu usage is down.

It's not the ccminer process that use CPU but the system. (driver?)

All my windows 7 rigs are fine even with the same CPU.

1. Download and install cuda 7.5
2. Download and install Visual studio express
3. Download the sourcecode (https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer)
4. open the project in  visual studio.
5. Select release in the combobox.
6.  Build (click on the green play button.)

I have added 0.5% in the quark algo for the ppl who build. Will make release 79 soon.

It's not a CPU utilization bug. As I mentioned I have quad cores and they're running at about 1-5% CPU utilization. I just decommissioned my last A4-4000. I know what a CPU bottleneck looks like, I bought quads over duel specifically to prevent something like this from happening.

The only other possibility is I'm running on W8.1 x64. I haven't had problems up till this point on using W8 over W7, however, sometimes I get better hashrate because of it. I still don't know why this would be the problem as the miner is showing a higher hashrate... which should include a CPU slowdown if my CPU was limiting the GPUs.

You reported that the original 1.7.4 had the same problem. It could be the stratum code that is not working correct. You need to mine on a pool with difficulty>1

I will run a kernal test to make sure my fork isn't missing any hash. I will run 1.7.4 kernal, and then my modded kernal and check if they find the same solutions..

POOL STATS--

I had a problem with the original tpruvot v1.7.4 stratum connection also.  Currently, the best connection I get at SuprNova is on port 9115 9112,  an "http" connection with a difficullty of 64 8.  The port uses Long-Polling, and the poolside hashrate stats fluctuate both over and under the actual hashrate of ~540MH/s per 750ti card  I tried the "stratum+tcp" port of 2252 (see cryptomining-blog), but it was not as good.  My rig posts 3240MH/s for 6 cards at the local console, and reads from 2K to 4K MH/s poolside while using the high-difficulty Long-Polling port of 9115.  I mine about 5 DCR per day at this rate, but the poolside stats fluctuate.       --scryptr

EDIT:  There is a DECRED proxy available at https://github.com/bitbandi/decred-proxy , it may solve things.  It is a true proxy, unlike the proxy stratum  implementation in CCminer v1.7.4 .  I use a proxy for all my ETHminer rigs.      --scryptr

EDIT:  I fell back on difficulty some and started using the Long-Polling port of 9112, with a difficulty of 8.  My small rig was not able to submit shares often enough at a difficulty of 64 (port 9115).       --scryptr
