CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

.64 Quark 11.2 Mh\s .(+400 kH\s).
Nice release . Option 35% cpu disabled . The additional load on the cpu increases from 0.8 to 4.2 GHs . Increases the growth of consumption watt cpu.

OVERCLOCKING--

After reducing my intensity setting to 24.3, and overclocking +90core/+90mem, I was also able to achieve 11Mh/s.  I will allow my GTX 960 SSC to run overnight, and will adjust the clock settings more in the morning.

Any load on the computer (browsing, other applications) affects the hash rate.  I'll check more tomorrow.

@djm34:
I think the logic proposed was that some trusted party/escrow was holding the bounty, so that any dev could come up and claim it with a working faster version. Was not so much about trusting the dev, as it was about allowing multiple devs to compete for the collected funds.

Personally, I'm not sure it is a great idea, since it brings even more developer competition into the table, instead of focusing on collaboration. I dunno, maybe I'm just a dreamer...  

Edit: I stand by my suggestion from the other day. I thought it would at least garner some comments, but I take it that it was not interesting in other people's views. Oh well... 

hence myagui - why i am now sitting back - watching - reading - absorbing - planning - and doing ...

a few more days and i will have it all ready ... it is taking much more time than i expected ...

then when thats done - to implement the second half of the donation links - and find a dev that is willing to help ( yes - that means getting paid also ) with the multipools that i need done ...

the third is to implement thefarm ... but im leaving that till all the rest is done first ...

great ideas floating about - with some that could well be a good way to go ... but im just going to move forward with what im implementing and hope ( yes - i said it - hope ) that it will attract a few more players into the crypto donation scene ...

without us miners - there is no need for the developers to worry about the mining software ... and without the developers - us miners couldnt run as well as we do ... so we feed and need from each other ... i believe we all need to work together somehow - and when we find that way - it will be well worth the effort ...

time to start implementing ways - then see which ones work ... AND make sure that the work put into all this - is not a waste of time for any of us ... ALL things here depend on the cooperation of one another and so far - we seem to be too worried about 'how much' we are all getting out of it ... even though that is an important factor - the fact remains that we ARE working with each other in this - by way of developing ( devs ) and test ( community ) and donations ( miners ) ... so if we can streamline this and get more people involved - especially the 'big' players while the 'small' players work together to become a 'bigger player amalgamate' - the we will all be getting something in the end ... with the feeling of satisfaction for helping one another as well as coin ...

back to work for me ... then sleep ...

keep up the great work devs ...

nice figures ...

i will be looking more in depth with thefarm at the latest commit next week with thefarm ...

too much on in the next few days unfortunately for me ...

Latest commit:

19917 Floating point exception(core dumped) ./ccminer -a quark

Neoscrypt all invalid nonces.

EDIT: there must be something wrong with the last releases, it's been running fine for weeks, now I'm having all sorts of problems... or a weird hardware failure (unlikely).

Release 61 still fastest for Quark on my 750Ti rigs (Win8.1)

I commented out the max64 < minmax check's to debug the lyra2v2 problems. and accedently checked it in. Got late last night..

thanks, that fixed the crash :-)

 sp  could you please put the http protocol back in the source code. I can't wallet mine. And djm lyra2v2 is the same. thx    

Well I still can't wallet mine with latest versions.  http protocol failed.

Considering there really isn't any competition or collaboration, either would be preferable.

Also with what he suggested, there was no target before the 'funds' would be released to whoever was trying to claim them. IE anyone could offer a tiny improvement and then claim them.

% based miner still is the best method.

Does it work in the 1.6.6 fork by tvpruvot?

I don't know sp . Do you mean 1.5.64   ?
EDIT: With r64  no it doesn't work.....r43 works.

my version works with solomining (and was tested with...) so it is probably on your hand (wrong rpc port, username or password)

r43 works  but 50 on up doesn't. I don't get it. Should I leave out the dll files in the new releases ?

Download the latest from the tpruvot forrk:

https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases


does it work to solomine?

Ok I'll try ....thats what I'm trying to do is solomine.

EDIT: They won't download.

djm  Just to make sure..what is VTC wallet port?      VERT coin  v0.10.0.0-g7744958-beta
But error is http protocol.
EDIT: There are many other people having the same problem ...as soon as the later releases came out ..they can't solomine.

News about the idle gpu issue (leading to lower hashrate on the pool).
I monitored the power usage and when it drops I get this kind of debug output:

[2015-09-03 11:27:42] sleeptime: 500 ms
[2015-09-03 11:27:42] DEBUG: job_id=5e8126d 67b xnonce2=3e000000 time=11:27:09
[2015-09-03 11:27:42] GPU #3: start=99999999 end=9a68f324 range=00cf598b

many times, leading to a sleep time of 10/15 seconds.
meanwhile, the gpus are idle.
it happens more on neoscrypt than quark or x11.

EDIT: the problem is reduced increasing scantime (and vice-versa)

I've submitted a little pull request to fix the latest git.
sp_ commented a part of the code and forgot to re-enable it because it was late night :-)

EDIT: already merged, thanks

VERTCOIN PORTS--

According to CoinWarz, the P2P Port is 5889 and the RPC Port is 5888.  Older solo-mining guides from the N-Scrypt days have the RPC Port at 9332.   This bit of fogginess is why I never set up solomining.  I should be able to find 2-3 blocks a day solo mining.      --scryptr
