CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

I will gladly try to mine it solo. Will have to wait for the blockchain to download though.
Does anybody have it by any chance?

I have downloaded it from https://bchain.info/VTC/
There is a link in the lower right section...

Guys do we have a slack or can we have one?

Latest git show on pool side 8 time slower hash... (verters pool)

Latest git show on pool side 8 time slower hash... (verters pool)

I am working on it. Seems to be bether to return 3 or 4 nounces (results) when using a high intensity Since the pool loves to give low difficulty shares.

verters pool is oversharing.
Last two hours stat:
3989/5600 MH/s (pool vs nethash)
18/49 block found.
71% of nethash.
only found 37% of total found blocks.
Solo miners must have more luck.

yep it could help, considering the low diff pools are using...

What is the vertcoin.conf solo miners setup?  Can someone please post?

Just like any other coin's conf you just have to use a different rpcport.

Ok ty - does anyone know the current vertcoin rpcport?  Is it 9332?

There are no fixed rpcports for different coins, it doesn't matter which one you use as long as it's the same port you set your miner to try to connect to.

VERTCOIN INFO--

I pulled some stuff off of CoinWarz.com:

P2P Port: 5889  RPC Port: 5888  Blocks: 348,052  Network Hashrate: 6.82 GH/s  Vertcoin Difficulty: 207.5611
                                            
The ports changed from the earlier scrypt-N days (9332).  I don't really know if the ports above are for Lyra2RE, or Lyra2v2.

I suggest looking at Vertcoin on the CoinWarz site, and clicking on the Vertcoin icon when you find it in the list.  That will take you to a detailed info page, and you can navigate from there to a profit calculator web-app just for Vertcoin.  Should be what you need.       --scryptr

you give to rpcport to value you want...that's the interest of the conf file..

Remote procedure call port has nothing to do with the coin as long as another one is not using it actively. P2p port is just recommended but not necessary, you'll still connect to other peers.

The CPU problem is fixed but there's still a problem. I have a linux rig with a 970 and a 780ti, compiled
ccminer for compute versions 3.5, 5.0 & 5.2.
When I start mining neoscrypt on both GPUs I get nothing but HW errors on the 780ti (GPU1). But I can mine
each GPU in seperate instances of ccminer.

This fork doesn't support compute 3.5. Maxwell only. (5.0 and up). but it might work for some algos. Don't have a 3.5 card anymore.

I don't know what he hardware errors were about but they've gone away.

Neoscrypt vs r58: 970 550kh (+25k), 780ti 335kh (-45k), +120 OC on both.
It looks like I'll be keeping r58 for mining neoscrypt on the 780ti.

I have a working prototype of r59 with the best of both worlds. It gets the new hash rate on maxwell
and the old hash rate on kepler. I just copied the old neoscrypt  kernel from r58 and gave it a
new name. The GPU architecture is checked in each thread to decide which kernel to use.

I chose to do a full copy of the r58 (kepler) kernel so that any future changes to maxwell code won't break
kepler. It was also the quickest and easiest implementation. There's a lot of duplicate code as a result.
It could probably be streamlined but with no future support for kepler expected it's probably better
to keep it as a self contained unit.

I put the gpu check in ccminer.cpp because it was easier but it might be a better design to move it
lower into the neoscrypt code.

I can make the changes available if any of the ccminer devs are interested in reviewing them or
including them in their fork.

Watching the mining scene rebalance now after a strong coin has been reclaimed from botminers, it makes me really wonder how the mining community as a whole would function if other big coins were liberated as well (Feather, Monero especially). There was definitely a LOT of mining profits being funneled into whoever was operating the Vertcoin botnet.

While I agree that botnets are taking a big chunk of profit from miners, I also think that most of the current profit is coming from lazy/late miners who haven't reconfigured their miners so it's all temporary. Even though I'm not mining VTC, I watched the difficuty rise from around 170 to the current difficulty which is 212 at the time of writing and it's safe to say that it will increase until it reaches an equilibrium. If I had to guess that difficulty would be roughly around 500-600.

It's interesting how GPU mining seems to have found the sweet spot. GPU resistant algos have been taken over by
botnets, ASIC friendly algos by super-farms. GPUs are almost as ubiquitous as CPUs therefore less likely to be concentrated
on farms.

Another trend is coins switching algos and new algos. How long until lyra2v3?

I don't think the profits of VTC right now are realistic, but you can see pressure being pulled off other coins and algos while people switch over. Profits of other coins are rising as such. Equilibrium, including VTC, will be much higher then what we were at.

Has been mining on pool.verters for more than 12 hours but getting lesser coins than projected. Probably due to rising difficulty.
