CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

Nice. Does the precalc gain you anything? I always assumed it didn't matter that much since you're waiting for global loads anyway. Doing 1/4th of the memory reads would certainly help, but only if the memory would be reorganized. i wouldn't know where to start:)

I am working on it. But I fail to build because I have to install alot of shit to compile the ether stuff. Why don't you extract the miner part and make a visual studio project file for me, so I can spend my time on something more interesting.

This is how far I came:

hehe you're almost there already. there's a directory /extdep with a getstuff.bat, run it and wait it out, it's ~10GB of crap you need little bits of. then the build steps are:

Code:

C:\code\cpp-ethereum-cudaminer>mkdir build
C:\code\cpp-ethereum-cudaminer>cd build
C:\code\cpp-ethereum-cudaminer\build>cmake -DBUNDLE=cudaminer -G "Visual Studio 12 2013 Win64" ..

now there still is something wrong with this cmake crap that I still haven't got to. so you build once, and it will fail because the BuildInfo.vcxproj  is looking for BuildInfo.h in the wrong place. Remove it from the project and add it again from one directory higher than were it expected it would be. I should make the repo up to date with latest again so it builds all nice again etc, but these people at ethdev just keep moving stuff around so at some point I stopped updating.

Naturally, you won't find the standard CUDA stuff in the ethash-cuda project. It's all cmaked away in CMakeList.txt...

hashpower payed good, because they mined mobilecash (lyra2v2)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1182734.0

I've been mining vert and mbl on p2pool, maybe mbl will take off and add value to the vert mining.
last I checked give me coins had 62% of hash for Vert, for a coin that's main value proposition is decentralization by avoiding asics and devs making setting up p2pool super easy that's pathetic to have all the hash on one pool. GMC doesn't even merge mine MBL...crypto confuses me sometimes.

Zoomcoin (lyra2v2) is looking good now.

what site do you use for comparing profit among algo and coin?
whattomine seems highly inaccurate, also i have not found any site for comparing different algo mining profitability with eth mining (specially digibyte, skein for amd and qubit and skein for nvidia )

What to mine is pretty accurate, set it for 24hr profitability and take not of trends in difficulty. Only thing it's not accurate with is DGB, but DGB is multi-algo so that messes everything up when figuring out profitability with it.

In general it seems as though the profitability comparison sites don't up date soon enough or include niche coins. Unfortunately you can't sort based by algo on Coinmarketcap, which definitely is a needed feature. Coinmarketcap in and of itself doesn't offer much information for miners besides which coin has the biggest D.

Why don't you extract the miner part and make a visual studio project file for me, so I can spend my time on something more interesting.

BTW if you cut out local CPU validation of results, it should be fairly straightforward to move ethereum into ccminer. There are quite a few stratum pools around by now. Perhaps even with local validation, but I don't know how ccminer goes about that for other algo's.

And the DAG file, do you need some logic to retrieve this file as well? Or is it generated?

Dang forgot about that one. It's generated, so you would need to move that bit into ccminer as well. Or you could have a standalone ethminer generate these for you. ethminer -D <blocknumber> generates only the DAG file that would apply for <blocknumber> (and 29,999 other blocks). Another approach could be having the repo's side by side and use the functionality from the static libs that cpp-ethereum generates. It's all pretty well separated.

Back to $1100

[zTheWolfz]

That would be nice, was around 1200 at one point if I remember correct.

[bathrobehero]

Back to $1100

The climb in the last few days is getting pretty crazy! It'll break $500 today and probably $600 tomorrow.

I don't think it's likely, but it would be also nice if altcoins would follow the trend which would boost mining profitability.

[pallas]

watch for a rebound (likely)

[sp_]

bitstamp is $501 now.
huobi is $525 (china)

[zTheWolfz]

Guess I should be converting all my other coins into BTC so I can be ready for the peak.
Last time I did $485 to Amazon gift cards and the wife spent it all at Amazon. lol
Its the Last time I send it to her account.  

[Cryptozillah]

BTC is pumping due to the BTC auction that is happening tomorrow.

http://www.coindesk.com/us-government-to-sell-44000-btc-in-final-silk-road-auction/

44k BTC to be sold, not sure where this party is going.

[sp_]

No, this is the chinese. The chinese government has banned normal people to move more than $50 000 out of the country, so they buy bitcoins instead, and move millions. I think Bitcoin will be $10 000 / XBT in a short while.

Quit your borring jobs  and join the Cryptos...

[pallas]

someone else says it's because of a huge ponzi scheme going on in china... either way, it's fine for me ;-)

[antonio8]

Agreed.

No need to pump for the auction.

It is a closed bid to the highest bidder. They can bid $200 per coin and if the highest bid then they win.
