Code:

Ethereum co-creator Vitalik Buterin wrote on Reddit: "With the change in the difficulty adjustment algorithm brought about in the last hard fork, the Ice Age will come very slowly indeed."

How slow? The difficulty adjustment happens every 1,000 blocks.

Currently, block time is averaging 14 seconds, but for the last year, it has been inching up to 15 seconds. And, according to calculations made by Buterin three months ago, that number will double to 30 seconds by mid-August of this year.

Block times could be as high as 14 minutes by 2025.

A block time of 30 seconds may not sound like a lot to some, especially when compared to bitcoin's block time of 10 minutes, but to clients running apps on ethereum, that slowdown could get annoying.

It's cute when you teach the internet something then people spit it back out when they think you aren't looking. XD

What are you doing at this time? With nvidia 1070. Have you read about Nvidia Volta ? .

[bensam1231]

Sooner then Volta we're going to have to worry about Vega Frontier. Seems the newest batch of GPUs are going to be more and more specialized, we may start seeing more private miners like FPGAs on GPUs which isn't good considering the lack of development for AMD/Nvidia. I'm actually kinda worried we're going to end up really fragmented as far as mining goes, that means the developers that currently support a wide variety of algos and mining methods (such as CCminer) wont go into every area on all the new GPUs.

I dont understand , you think asic is best ?

I dont think this . For me the best is GPU forever .

[bensam1231]

Nothing to do with ASICs, GPU hardware is becoming specialized. That means development is going to require more specialized skillsets, which means it's more then likely to end up in the hands of a handful of individuals who either have the money to employ a developer or make it for themselves, much in the same way FPGAs work right now only with software.

It's next to impossible to get working software for FPGAs.

[giagge]

Show one example .

The biggest problem right now is the huge amount of new miners that join the party.

Ethereum is the biggest minable coin
Here is the difficulty chart...
500% increase from january 2017 in 5 months...

Ethereum has a progressive difficulty scheme in the code, but not 500% in 5 months. Most of the increase is new miners. The after party (nachpiel) might not end with a happy ending.

Most of these miners will probably disappear just as fast as they popped up once mining profits inevitably going down. Stuff like Pandaminer selling out within minutes shows how many lazy miners there are.

equihash sp-mod #1

I modded  the dj-ezo solver. Not for sale.

But here is a screenshot of the preresults

80% tdp

Gives a small boost on the pool compared to EWFB.

[go6ooo1212]

80% TDP gives around 470-80sol on 1070 with EWBF's miner...

[sxafir]

Ccminer is fine but i dont know is 1% fee is in all version.Someone know?

[pallas]

Why quoting tdp percent? It's not coherent across cards. Use the wattage instead.

[kopija]

Greetings SP et al,
I am seeing very low hashrate on lyra2v2 on gtx970 Linux compared to 1060 on Win.
7 vs 22 MH/s
Is that normal hashrate for Maxwell?
Maybe the problem is Cuda 8 on that Linux machine?
Thanks.

Not on my rigs. The EWBF miner seem to be slow when you run 6 cards in the rig. (meassured on the pool)

I am testing on a 6 gtx 1070 rig and a 1840 celeron cpu / 4gig ram.  (80% tdp with oc gigabyte g1 gaming)

Reported in the miner window 2700 (450 sol/s per card
Reported on the pool 24h (flypool.org) 2500 (416.66 sol/s per card)


I did a test with more than one rig, and all of them can't break 2500 with 6x 1070 cards using the  EWBF miner.

80% TDP on MSi gaming can be higher than 110% TDP on ASUS or EVGA SC - just to let you know that it is useless to use this measure.

G1 GAMING 1070 default tdp is 180watt.. if you running a g1 GAMING @ 80% tdp you are using over 150watt.. i run my g1 GAMING 1070's @ 65% tdp = 120watt .....

most other 1070 are 150watt default tdp... i run those @ 77% tdp = 120watt...

120watt is the sweet spot efficiency for the 1070 tested with multiple algo's

[jr69]

Is there any reason why there isn't a tutorial on how to run this?

And why does the mining default to some person's bitcoin wallet, instead of prompting the user for their own?

It's just a test.
150watt good for benchmark. You should be able to reach 450 with mild oc and 150watt on most cards using the EWFB miner.


But it doesn't explain why the pool is showing 417SOL/s average 24 hours, and the miner show 450sol/s. Is EWFB is taking 7.5% fee instead of 2% ? Can anyone else confirm my findings?

[minerx117]

ill confirm

ewbf latest version has a 0 % - fee  option .....  

Code:

--fee 0

 
which pool you having that speed issue with sp ?
