MANIA--

The coin is being hyped by some brazen blog-spammers, but the Ethereum project is bigger than all that, and appears legitimate.  If the coin (ETH) goes to a stable $3-$5 like LiteCoin and DASH, a single 6-card rig of 970s or AMD 280x cards would be profitable.       --scryptr

I agree with you but for small time miner like me with just 1-2 cards, it doesn't make much sense to mine solo with 20Mh/s against 80+ Gh/s. Unless a pool is available its good for everyone to be divided between VTC & ETH. Also, there is speculation about the premine worth 17% of supply, unlimited/no cap to supply & most importantly not much development yet on smart contract side. ETH is something you mine/buy now and stash for a year or two. A long term investment with all the risk although Vitalik is very intelligent & i am sure we will see something from him in the future.

It looks like mining ETH is currently the most profitable.
100 750Ti could get 1.15 BTC/day.

why are you all counting in 100 or 1000 of 750ti ?

Because it only needs 120000EUR to buy 1000 of them + a little powerplant and You are making big money

Someone is very unhappy with my sharing about ETH mining.

SOLO MINING ETH--

I started solo mining ETH yesterday, and am hashing along with about 25Mh/s speed.  I just hit my first block (5 coins), the rest of the week I may see nothing, but on average I could get 10 coins.

I am hashing with my "lame" rig.  I hope that it is only a riser cable, but there is a card that kicks out and crashes the Win 8 x64 system.  If it weren't for the 750ti hashing bug, I'd be hashing at about 50Mh/s.  The rig runs Ethminer smoothly, but crashes on even VTC with CCminer.       --scryptr

@scryptr @antonio8
deleting the DAG corrected low hashes for my 750Ti
you could try that.
@fenomenhaa
15 280x would make a lot for ETH mining

Ok, I have checked the etherum hashing code.
I think can optimize kecaak implementation 40-100% faster than the current cuda implementation
But... New protocol. Alot of work to integrate to ccminer. No project file for windows.

That's great. Thank you!

It is really nice to hit the first block with just 1 280x hash.

I just knew it would be pasted there

As you can see I am a noobish user

Anyway right now both vtc and eth are more than profitable for mining(atleast here with power cost 0.12EUR/kWH).
My numbers with 4x970+960+750ti:
51.5MH on vtc with ccminer (also accepted on give me coins pool)
85MH on eth with cudaminer (on eth pool), network hashrate reported 230GH-https://stats.ethdev.com/
The gpu power usage and the temps are much lower on eth ---> some big gains by code optimization seems possible

For comparision r9 280x is reported to have ~24MH on eth.

The later eth-cuda miner let's you select cards with - -gpu-devices 0 2 3

This only works with eth-cuda on the latest 2 or 3 releases.

If using regular eth (opencl) it will not work. Use - - opencl-platform 1 and all cards will be used.

I just started it like that (opencl-platform 1) and it doesn't look much different: https://i.imgur.com/3SDe7Bw.png
It looks like it's mining AND it's building a DAG file? Are DAG files per card?

I believe diag is per card don't quote me though.

If using AMD cards try - - opencl-platform 0

I will soon submit a 5% increase in the lyrav2 algo.. improved quark and x11.

Did you consider working on ETH's  cuda code a little bit ?

Yes I can do it..

The lyra2v2 speedup(+200KHASH) is only working on the 750ti. so I need to case in the code

I DELETED THE DAG--

It didn't help.  I am on Win 8 x64.  Are you running on Linux?  A fella on another blog said he installed Linux (dual boot) and the problem went away.  Linux means that you have to compile with Ethereum in place, as well as the Cuda Tool Kit.

I am thinking of reloading Linux on my rig.  That fella said his 750ti cards were getting 9.5Mh/s.       --scryptr

The Yaamp clones also have a botfree renting service.

http://hashpower.co/renting
http://ffpool.net/renting

So if you discover a profitable coin, might give you some profit


Today, the old lyra algorithm is good to mine.

ffpool.net

lyra2   4433   2   13   17.4 mh/s   4%   3.1074*   2.0790   2.7733 BTCGHASH/DAy


You could rent hashpower at Nicehash for

Lyra2RE   3342   0.1396 BTCGHASH/Day

For about 30 minutes on ffpool on 8/13 around 4pm EST, the return was crazy (if you calculated the rate out for 24-hours it would have been around .005 per 750 Ti with lyra2).  I assume that is when the pump was happening for CryptoCoin or LyraBar.

For those living on the edge (at least with Linux)... the current git pull won't compile.  You need to remove or comment out the below from util.c (lines 1522-1524) and util.cpp (lines 1624-1626):
memset(hash, 0, sizeof hash);
animehash(&hash[0], &buf[0]);
printpfx("anime", hash);

(I assume SP will fix shortly and this post will become null and void.)

Now back to discussing the mining of ETH, which is not even part of sp's ccminer (yet?).

WE CAN ONLY HOPE--

But there is more than an algo at play, I think.  The Ethereum suite is big and exists for more than mining.  CCminer will have to link with and communicate with Geth, at least.  Since solo mining is the only option until a second pool opens up, or the first pool upgrades its capacity and re-opens to new addresses, CCminer will have to speak the language of the wallet.

What sort of luck are you guys having with mining Ethereum? I've been mining for about 24 hours and haven't found a block. Everything is so glitchy and buggy I can't tell if it's working right even though it should be.

Since there is no pool it seems as though this might be sorta pointless too. Pools are there because mining alone doesn't net the same results, even though it's supposed to be averaged over time it usually doesn't work that way. I may switch back to VTC till this ends up a bit more mature.
