But Djm-34's private kernal is doing 6.2MHASH on the 750ti. That is why lyra2v2 is not profitable to mine...

He is selling it? Last I heard it wasn't for sale. Although that would probably have something to do with the decline of L2V2.

No, he doesn't like money. He wants to be the best.

lolwut !? yeah it's my fault... sure  
 please spare me this kind of bullshit...
(if it was an attempt at motivating me to release it... it pretty much failed...  )

You have the fastest kernal in the world. You are the best optimizer in the lyra2v2 algo for the 750ti.
TSIV has already reached 5,7MHASH.
Without opensourcing, someone else will make a faster kernal. It's just a matter of time.

Telling you guys, 2% miner fee and just release stuff like that... Then improve it a bit, release it again.

Nah, If you have a 20% faster miner than everybody else, you build a BIG farm and ROI a 750ti-980ti card every day  
And then you wait for the competition to wake up...

I think it would be good money to make a etherum miner for the 750ti. Such a coin. Such a profit.  

[djm34]

The lyra defaults are not optimal.

on 750ti the default intensity is -X 16, but -X 5 -X 10 and -X15 are bether. -X 5 use less power too(less memory)..

Will change it.

Also the tpb hardcoded in the code needs to be adjusted. 980ti/980/960 probobly need totally different values.

On 980 and 960 my best is 7. Plz test...

what kind of hashrate are you getting with these numbers ?
Also bear in mind that cuda only uses these number to produce a number of threads for each kernels. So if there are large discrepencies between the various kernel. you might run the full chain of algo on a number which can be rather different from the intensity you gave... meaning the reported hashrate (intensity/time) can be wrong...

You have $200k for such a endeavor? Something to consider is you're actually crowd funding your 'investment' in a farm when you distribute it to everyone. You're essentially taking a piece of everyones farm, which is impossible to build on your own and you don't have ROI costs. Nor do you lose money when your enhancements go to waste, for instance, 20% faster L2V2 still isn't making more then Quark right now.

Sure, I want to be the best   , the challenge is by itself more entertaining than a potential money grab... (not sure that I see one either...) and clearly a good way to improve programming skill...

so for the moment, I keep my options opened (still thinking miner with fee, but no time at the moment)

[burritoeater]

I lost about 20 btc on an exchange that got "hacked", although I think they just took it all and ran. When it was up to about 1100$ a while ago.

I got mad and quit mining altogether, I just now got back in the game and this quark mining power on nvidia cards is insane. When I stopped mining it was still cpu only.

I get about 54mh/s with 2 980ti's mining quark, slightly overclocked and -C and -i 25.

Any one get any better results? I think this is a great number but I want the most I can possibly get, just like the rest of us.

Donation coming soon once I build up a little more coinage.

 

[tromp]

Do you have a watt meter? How much power is it using?

I wonder what info these tools like GPU-Z would report for my Cuckoo Cycle cuda miner,
but don't have easy access to a Windows system.

Could someone  clone https://github.com/tromp/cuckoo,
build a size 2^32 cuda miner with
> cd src
> make cuda32
run it with
> time ./cuda32 -h 0 -n 7 -t 512

(takes about 80sec on a GTX980) and report on the info from GPU-Z?

bensam1231 , I don't have watt meter . I think it's a consumption of 120 watts . Voltage standard 1.193 .Don't increase the voltage . Just increase the TDP BIOS . See the screenshot ..

Hmmm... Every miner should have a watt meter. Buy one for $18 on Newegg (Don't get a Kill-A-Watt, they break like clockwork every month).

Voltage doesn't tell a whole lot or TDP as Manufacturers change it around.

Hashrate doesn't matter. There isn't a linear increase between profits and hashrate as coins are smart and auto adjust to the network. Only way to get ahead of the curve is with better hardware (ASICs) or custom kernels. Both of which don't do anything when everyone is using them.

You very well could've been making more money back when Quark was CPU only, although it seems like CPU only coins always end up fodder for botnets.

Not worth the risk.
I have a few rigs, and I keep buying some more slowly. With the low BTC price and high energy costs it's not worth it. But If I break even I still have alot of nice hardware to play with.
In order to make a living of making mining software you need to be able to optimize every algo 10-20% and do it before anybody else. Wolf0 is the only one I know who can do that.

I got 26,7MHASH per 980ti the last time I checked.(haven't tested release 68 yet) Standard clocks/standard intensity.
But my card is a gigabyte windforce oc. The core is clocked at 1288 I think.

So curious bone for you guys to pick away at... I was browsing pay addresses on Nicehash and was looking at the biggest Quark miner:

https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=miners&a=12&addr=1MPnrpSFBEvzDqpFpv2Fit4ktRVzkBVfdQ&l=1

How do you end up with workers producing 600MH/s? Only thing I can think of is these are nodes running on a cluster. I don't know why you would do something like this opposed to simply running separate workers on separate machines. There is no advantage of clustering the machines and only leads to more downtime due to miner crashes.

Edit: Nevermind, this is probably a proxy or a private multipool.

The biggest quark miner is:

https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=miners&a=12&addr=1GMy4ASNFDVdn3oLYsvgFX5H27Hx2v65Mv&l=0

The n labeled are NVIDIA GPU's, the R labeled are Radeon (AMD) The farm is running a profit switcher. Mostly x11 and quark, but sometimes lyra2v2 as well.

8GHASH of quark with the current prices is producing 3,2 BTC every day. ($752)  ($274 480 a year.)

Quark based coins have a total hashrate of around 200GHASH/s Per day. so this farm has a 4% market share.

80BTC worth of quark (clones) are being mined everyday. (Sharkcoin is the biggest)
X11 is bigger with Dash as the leading coin.

The #altcoins are back

That's an intereseting concept for PoW (I know I'm very late to it), but I don't see any coin using it and it's been around since 2014...

980 - 11450 kH, 960 6050 kH. Can`t test 750Ti at this moment.
Clocks - 980 - 1390 MHz, 960 1440 MHz.
Whith tbp 9 hashrate is lower for me.

Agree, Ethminer is still very lucrative although it looks like Nvidia hardware hit the memory controller limitation and can't go anywhere else, much like Cryptonote.

I would definitely argue you're talking about two completely different jobs. Mining is independent of developing miners, unless you have a company that encompasses both. You're splitting your firepower between the two. You could sell/lease the 10-20% lead for a piece of someone elses pie. I don't think you'll ever hit anywhere close to what the big miners are really doing, let alone when the majority of people use your software.

Taking 2% of everyone elses pie is worth more then trying to take 20% more with a fraction of the hashing power. For instance, 2% of 8GH is 160MH/s... And that's just the biggest miner, not everyone else. In order to make a bigger advantage then 2% of that one miner you would need a farm equivalent of 800MH/s or greater, but we aren't just talking about one miner here. Nicehash has 40Gh/s on Quark right now and that isn't all Quark miners everywhere.
