YAAMP ROUND-ROBIN CONFIGURATION--

The following is a working Windows Batch File for a GTX 960 using the yaamp auto-switch.  The "-r 0" flag allows yaamp to cycle through algorithms until the high-paying algorithm is served up.  The long "password" should be comma separated and have no spaces except immediately after the "-p".  Each line is broken by the formatting process on this blog after the "-p" password flag.  I inserted 1 extra blank line between each 1-line command statement for clarity.

There is no such simple solution on Linux, primarily because BASH does not have a goto command.  Save this text as "looper.bat".  Code follows:

:loop

ccminer.exe -r 0 -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3533 -u name -p x11=5.4,x13=4.2,x14=4.1,x15=3.6,quark=9.8,lyra2=0.7,fresh=6.1

Certainly not as compact as the above bat but skunk posted a bash script back in November to do this (also integrating nicehash, and trademybit (RIP)): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=167229.msg9434777#msg9434777 .  I also have my own bash script to do such things

Thank you for posting this comment.  I have been attempting to use Skunk's BASH script, and to remove the TMB portion without harming the performance.  So far, I have not been able to run it successfully.  May be a typo, may be copy damage,  I may post what I have, working or not.              --scryptr

@ sp have you ever looked into scrypt chacha/jane high n factor algos?

Atm nf 15 and 16 for yac and utc is relevant.

Shouldn't be too much work to look at cuz it is just a single algo like sha256 or scrypt.

The last working miner is now nearly one year old from february 2014 called cudaminer.

Use Miner Control to switch between YAAMP and/or other pools, and more specifically, try my mod of it
This will allow you to setup your own hashrates. You can delete the other pools in the .conf if you only need YAAMP.

I think cudaminer does 0.37MHASH on a 750ti Even if manage to optimize it 300% to 1MHASH it is still 6 times less profitable than other algos. f,eks quark.
IMHO a waste of time to optimize it.

So for those of you who are still mining Scrypt with cudaminer, you can get a 1800% higher return if you switch to quark sp-mod(release 38).

sp_ if I read this right he pointed his wish to scrypt chacha & scrypt jane coins which are not that unprofitable as scrypt.
a single 750ti could make above 500hash/s on nf16 (YAC) which was some weeks ago the best deal arround here.
AMD sucked at this time because they had no optimized miner. But this changed.

[Grim]

yep the question was about scrypt chacha/jane algos

Yes, I though he ment Normal Scrypt. When the 750ti came out last year I bought a few and started mining scrypt. The price of the 750 ti was around the same a gridseed ASIC scrypt miner. The gridseed used less power than the TI, so it would seem more profitable to buy. Both had a hashrate of around 350KHASH.

Now one year later the TI is producing 18 times more money than the asic gridseed scrypt.

Just think about this the next time you order a ASICminer.

If you want to support the development, please donate and recieved my private spreadcoin miner. I hope to release 6 this weekend with more hashing power. Free to the donators.

The GTX750 (non ti) has only got 512 cuda cores, while the gtx750ti has got 640 cores. A radeon 280x has 2048 cores.


But the 512 core gtx beats the 2048 core AMD:


http://cryptomining-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/sph-sgminer-fresh-windows-580x301.jpg

I have two Sapphire Toxic R9 280X cards with Hynix GDDR5 memory on board.
I overvoltaged them upto 1.3 V and set 1240 MHz for core and 1850 MHz for memory.
I use cgminer 5.1.0 with radeon drivers 4.7 RC3 installed.
Each card produces 5 MH/s

[bathrobehero]

In order to raise tangible funds to motivate GPU miner devs, I am now hosting a donation address for Bitcoin.

1K6cUbtsn5xinD8XfjnTn7UnsMriLhZaGD

The first GPU miner to be created (AMD or Nvidia) and published under an open source license will receive all the money from this fund.

I'm putting in 0.25 BTC of my own money. I encourage everyone to donate what you can to help make this a lucrative bounty.

Good rates for a non TI card.
I think the kernals needs to be finetuned for each algo. When I set optimal launch configs in the quark kernals it slows down the the x15 since they share kernals.
I might need to duplicate kernal calls to be able to tweak the optimal hashrate for every algo.

For both R38 and R39, 750 Ti get error "Cuda error in func 'x11_simd512_cpu_init' at line 634 : out of memory." when running x11 in HamsterPool. No such error with x11 in YAAMP.

Edit: Upon further testing, running up to 3x 750 Ti has no error (i.e.: only 4x and beyond get the above error). To run 4x and beyond, I have to use -i 18 to run fine. Error could be unique to HamsterPool only.

Edit2: 'x11_simd512_cpu_init' <-- corrected

For both R38 and R39, 750 Ti get error "Cuda error in func 'x11_xim512_cpu_init' at line 634 : out of memory." when running x11 in HamsterPool. No such error with x11 in YAAMP.

hmmm, 750 without Ti works fine on hamster. Maybe you should try to play with --diff parameter.
