CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

[sp_]

lol, not sure you will sell a lot of miner for bastion, it doesn't work, according the image you posted...
(it clearly doesn't validate wherever the solution is sent...   it is a bit like your unfinished axiom miner... )

Low difficulty shares are ok.

Share above taget is not..

The hashing is working, but the --diff is wrong...  (cpu hashing is too slow to find the correct difficulty multiplier.)

Anyway. The first version of the gpu kernal is ready for testing now. Fingers crossed...

[s7icky]

So sp_ how much do you want for the private GPU miner?

[sp_]

It's not working yet, and very slow.

but one rig with the shitty implementation will almost get 50% of the hashrate and $11 a day. because the total net hashrate for bastion is normally 1-3 MHASH

750ti: 322KHASH
970: 880KHASH

so slow

But one rig (5x 750ti, 1x 970) is mining at the speed of 100 intel celeron's clocked at 2.5Gigahertz.

[sp_]

What if I bring up Freya?

With freya I get $1 a day. LOL

it clearly doesn't work: 0 accepted over 274...
so right now, you are just advertising number over non working stuff... (low/high share justification makes no sense... you could be hashing anything and send fake share to a pool that would be exactly the same...)

280X, 290X, 290X, and Fury X - in this order. And yeah, only in JoinCoin, but fun!

Let's see if you can find 24 blocks in 30minutes.

nope my penis is bigger <3

yeah... well, thought it was a pissing contest   (must admit... this thread is getting a bit boring... bored enough to find boring to reply)

(don't understand either why sp wants to donate to other devs either... are you part of nicehash ?)

He's encouraging open development with monetary rewards. It doesn't matter if he's another dev, that's not what he's been working on.


Still not sure why everyone is hard up about Joincoin, I attempted to mine it, but got very sporadically accepted shares for 5x 970s (mined for about a hour and got two shares). The volume and cap is extremely low so it it'll be saturated almost instantly (and apparently by one GPU).

NIST5 with CCminer is broken on Joincoin as well. Tpruvot version crashes the whole system after about 1-5 minutes of mining.

It doesn't matter to you because it's something you want - same logic causes people to fall for 419 scams; people don't think about WHY something good seems to be happening. It's interesting to others, though.

Bastion is limited specifically to Joincoin, there is no money there, no future, not really much of anything... Maybe a passing interest, but that doesn't apply to scams at all. You could really replace that with anything. 'No you only care about yourself', just as silly...

So, enlighten me then, what does the broad picture of Bastion entail for the crypto world or am I just supposed to be fascinated with your fascination of Bastion? ...because that isn't self-absorbed either. >>

Bastion alone produces roughly 0.082 BTC worth of J a day if I calculated it correctly which is not much but if you can easily take a big chunk of it with a few GPUs every day, it adds up nicely.

Yeah, I can't get it to work properly. I'll look into it again tonight. Super small coins tend not to deal well with hype though, as with Spreadcoin. The exchange looks shaky at best and the moment people touch it, it'll literally self-immolate.

That aside, I actually kinda like multi-algo coins. It seems Joincoin was better done then DGB. They seem to be harder to mine, making them hardware to completely exploit.

I will create a NVIDIA gpu miner as well, perhaps tonight. And then point one 750ti(3MHASH) to recieve my 0.04BTC a day
0.04BTC/day with a cost of 40watt of power (less than 1KWh/day)

With the current difficulty my private bastion miner will make with one single 750ti card:

Profit per day: $11,68
cost of power per day: $0.1

if I pick up a 750ti on ebay for $100 I will ROI the card in less than 10 days.

This is because my kernal will be 60 times faster than a modern Intel pentium i7.

That is why the exchange will tank. Whoever is proping it up wont be willing to keep feeding miners that sort of income.

I have sold 8 copies of the pentablake and made 2,4 BTC already. I think the marked is full since the profit of mining penta with the current difficulty is only at 200% more profitable than mining quark@nicehash.

But the sourcecode is for sale for 3 BTC. [...]

I know that profits are never guaranteed, be that with private or public versions.
Market conditions and profitability can change in an instant.

That said, do you really think that if you sell the sources now, that there is any chance at all for those eight early buyers to ever land a profit?
With each new sell that you make, for such a tiny market/opportunity, the returns shrink further for those that bought in. It's not as if the pie is large enough for everybody, is it?

Do note, I do not give a flying f@%# for what you make or don't make on this miner, I have a big fat zero stake on this one. I'm only making this comment as it looks to me that you're approaching private sales in a way that will ultimately hurt your own profits as well as those of people buying stuff from you.

I'll be happy to see everyone involved in the green, and the more, the merrier.

You've eloquently put one reason why I don't deal with tons of people...

And that goes full circle back to feeding fat-cats eating their caviar and watching small miners flop around at the bottom before dying from asphyxiation.

Also I thought you didn't answer sales because you don't like doing sales, not because you enjoy making a couple people really rich, while somehow think you're getting a bigger piece of the pie (if they can afford you, then can definitely afford more then you).

Sure we want to make money, but also, we don't want that people buying our (private) miner to not make any (that's one of the reason I am a little reluctant about selling my miners to small miners... knowing that I have as well to make a profit, and cover myself from the risk of leak...), if you are just in the "you take your responsibility" then you are probably closer in mentality to cloud mining scammers...  

This is a joint project? Developers seeing a little competition and they're trying to get you on the greed train before you burn things down.

I think SP understands that it can and will probably eventually leak... or he'll open source it himself, but he's giving some people a headstart before that happens and making some coin on top of it.

Also the 'oh no I'm skurred, therefore I'm going to call you a scammer' part is great. That's the spirit!

I only worked on it for 2 hours, need some more work before it's done.. I don't think I will sell it. Just mine with one rig and pickup my share of 10-20$ per day.

Why not? I just need to work more on it. Why do you care anyway?

I don't really care, but it just looks like bragging (with something which doesn't even work) to get donation without doing any effort (nor real work) ... Have you ever seen any other dev doing that ?

I didn't ask for a donation. You complained that I didn't opensource. I just did... Bastion CPU miner. It's on github.

You need 100 celeron cpu's to beat my slow gpu rig, but it's opensource and free..

The gpu miner is probobly not worth selling. I will keep it, and mine when the diff is low just like wolf0 does... Then I get free beers without anybody donating.

Did you cut corners and not do branching properly? That's the only way I can imagine you're hashing so slowly...

yes, it's running in 1/8 - 1/16 of the possible speed

good for you

The fury is showing its muscles in bastion!
And the opencl compiler for tahiti is weird, at the least...
The hawaii one is much smarter and stable.

I think the fury has buldt in AES instructions. On the NVIDIA side the whirlpool algo is the bottleneck.

whirlpool is slow on nvidia because it's not bitsliced (like groestl).
table lookup is fast on amd, instead.

Time to bitslice then.. Perhaps not worth the effort.
Bether to optimize x11.
x15 is not very profitable at the moment.

The quark miners are escaping from nicehash. Maybe because all the other pools are paying much bether..

Quark rates:

http://nicehash.com: 0.17 BTC/GHASH
http://ffpool.net:0.28 BTC/GHASH
http://yiimp.ccminer.org:0.29 BTC/GHASH
http://hashpower.co/: 0.7671 BTC/GHASH


Here is free opensource software that will switch between the best pools:

Just like the nicehash algo switcher, only that you get payed more.

yes but hashpower is broken: wrong estimates (counting the diff of a coin and the exchange value of another) and no shares accepted for days.

Thanks. I removed it from the list.

All the algos are bether it seems..


x11 rates

Looks like the Amsterdamcoin has forked and changed the POW algo from Scrypt to the old lyra2 algo.. (16BTC / GHASH !!)

One 750ti@1 MHASH will make 0,016 a day...
