It seems now we urgently need faster x15 miner.
Ready to donate 0.01 btc for my poor gtx750)))

Coincidentally I'm working on a faster CPU miner for X algos that nearly doubles the X15 performance
but noone wants to pay for a CPU miner. I'm not doing it to make money, I'm doing it because it's fun
and I'm learning something along the way. And if I ever get it finished I'll probably give it away.

If you need any help with hardware testing on this I have 3x EVGA SR2's dual CPU 24 cores boards, a 4x CPU AMD sever 32 cores & a 980X 12 core in service.
I'd also be willing to tip in some BTC to you if you need that.

I'll keep that in mind. Things are progressing well. I'm not sure which CPU miners you are familiar with but I'm working
with darkcoin cpu miner 1.3 (elmad), cp3u (palmd) & cpuminer-multi (tpruvot )and taking the best from each. I've even
managed to improve on the current best in each algo (all X, quark, qubit). The other algos are either unstable or too
difficult for the moment. If you know of any other interesting CPU miners point them out to me. I'll take a look and see
if I can make use of them. Also if you (or anyone else) knows of other contributors to these programs not yet credited
let me know.

It has been quite a challenge. I've never done any c++ development before and no development at all for 10 years. I had a
hell of a time messing with the Makefile sources and #includes. I'm trying to tweak each algo some more. Some work better
inlined, others not, simple stuff for now. Everything focussed on AES for now.

By my own ad-hoc versioning I'm at beta2 (that goal reached since the first post). Maybe one more beta before I'm comfortable
sharing it privately. Then I'll start work on support for CPUs limited to sse2, then...

Should this be moved to a new thread?

Probably should start your own topic on this subject. If you do just come back and post a link in one of your reply's here.
I've used at some point almost every CPU miner software out there or tested it at some point. darkcoin cpu, cpuminer-multi for sure.
Not at my main testing rig so I'll have to take a look at the others CPU miners once I'm in the shop. I'll PM you with some details later.
Can't wait to test these, thanks for posting.

It's been interesting reading the debate here
 
Right now I've got to pull a few miners that are mining direct to cryptsy.    All withdraws are disabled due to a phissing attempt and I need to change pw even though I have 2fa.

@sp... for your private SPR miner, are you willing to take donation in SPR?   It is a hot coin atm. 

[_javi_]

excuse me the offtopic.. but cryptsy is doing like MtGox... not being hacked, nor under phishing attack.
I´m sorry for the dudes with funds inside that site.

I heard that Cryptsy is under federal investigation. But I believe business will go on as usual when they don't find anything...

[zTheWolfz]

Ordered that EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti FTW should be here in a few days.
Cost me $30.59 out of pocket to cover shipping and the little amount my EVGA bucks didn't cover.  
Turns out I only had 84 EVGA bucks instead of 94 forgot I had ordered my GTX960 card 7/2/2015.
Normally I buy the 12th month, used 160 EVGA bucks on the 960.  

[tbearhere]

Ok sp

On lyra2v2 750ti  r71  to your PRIVATE miner  r78       r71  4.845 mh/s    r78 private   5.055 mh/s AND 10 watts less at the wall on the 6 750ti rig.  

r71   980ti  15.862 mh/s      r78  private  16.550 mh/s  

All oc at 1345

Quark improvement is about the same % wise.....will post later.

Good job sp

[tbearhere]

crysx
The 2 980ti cards I have are the big ones with the back plate

thats what all four of these are mate ...

the extreme ones are MUCH bigger and heavier cards ...

what hash are you getting on lyra2v2 tbearhere? ...

#crysx

crysx
I just posted hash rates. 16.550 mh/s lyra2r2 oc to 1345  sp private 78.
Do you have a picture of that card....i'm looking it up now.

EDIT: is it nvidia? can't find it...and what is special about it?
ps were running at half the speed on the mem clocks. It should be 20 mh/s on the 980ti if we get the mem clocks up.

That's what I did.......for 1 1/2 yrs every btc I made went to buy mining equipment.... never saved any... but now I can start saving a little.

never tried 640 before. Will try that later (Ethereum is more profitable anyway)

I get 15-16mhash with -w 64 -g 2 -X 640

On the r9 280x

[joblo]

True, no sourcecode, but oh well, i don't care.

You should care because when the miner says 20MHASH and the pool say 15MHASH you need to lower the intensity or fix the sourcecode.

Fix the source code, LOL. If I a binary only miner consistenly registers a lower hash rate I'd suspect some of the
hash was being diverted, not that any of the green team would do that.
The locally reported hash rate could also be fudged but monitoring network activity would coinfirm one way
or another.

Yea I bought 4x R9 270 2 of those are 270x models 2 non x & a GTX660Ti back when doge coin was hot with doge coins. lol
EVGA bucks has been saved at the most part over years of folding for EVGA team and bought 2x GTX660Ti & 1x GTX960 with those with little or no cash out of pocket.
And now a GTX750Ti.

Edit: almost forgot about the 2x AMD 7850 I got with doge coins as well. There setting idle now, but that is only because the motherboard took a dump.
Have a pair of GTX480 & a half dozen GTX260's collecting dust.

I am using the sgminer binaries from the nicehash miner. With to high intensities the miner is reporting high numbers, but lower on the pool.  I suspect it is a bug. Intensities below 640 seems to work, but the hashrate displayed in the miner is lower.

My 4x R9 270's are showing correctly at NiceHash in miner & there match.

[sp_]

My 4x R9 270's are showing correctly at NiceHash in miner & there match.

That's because they use Xintensity of 64 as the default value. try to set it to 1024 or 2048

in the config.jason file change:

--xintensity  64

to

--xintensity  1024

or

--xintensity 2048



.....'





--xintensity 640 seems to work.

Ready to donate 0.01 btc for my poor gtx750)))

Coincidentally I'm working on a faster CPU miner for X algos that nearly doubles the X15 performance
but noone wants to pay for a CPU miner. I'm not doing it to make money, I'm doing it because it's fun
and I'm learning something along the way. And if I ever get it finished I'll probably give it away.

If you need any help with hardware testing on this I have 3x EVGA SR2's dual CPU 24 cores boards, a 4x CPU AMD sever 32 cores & a 980X 12 core in service.
I'd also be willing to tip in some BTC to you if you need that.

I'll keep that in mind. Things are progressing well. I'm not sure which CPU miners you are familiar with but I'm working
with darkcoin cpu miner 1.3 (elmad), cp3u (palmd) & cpuminer-multi (tpruvot )and taking the best from each. I've even
managed to improve on the current best in each algo (all X, quark, qubit). The other algos are either unstable or too
difficult for the moment. If you know of any other interesting CPU miners point them out to me. I'll take a look and see
if I can make use of them. Also if you (or anyone else) knows of other contributors to these programs not yet credited
let me know.

It has been quite a challenge. I've never done any c++ development before and no development at all for 10 years. I had a
hell of a time messing with the Makefile sources and #includes. I'm trying to tweak each algo some more. Some work better
inlined, others not, simple stuff for now. Everything focussed on AES for now.

By my own ad-hoc versioning I'm at beta2 (that goal reached since the first post). Maybe one more beta before I'm comfortable
sharing it privately. Then I'll start work on support for CPUs limited to sse2, then...

Should this be moved to a new thread?

#crysx

First release will only support CPUs with AES-NI. I intend to put in a capabilities check to let users know if their
CPU won't cut it. Eventually, if I stay motivated,  there will be three architectures supported AES_NI, SSE2,
and then everything else.

Here are some numbers on a i7-4790k, 4 cores, 8 threads, stock_clock, compared with the closest competition:
 
                          quark        qubit        x11         x13        x15   
cpuminer-jdd      1080kh     1045kh   707kh     320kh    280kh   
multi                                     395kh                   168        160
minerd                                                680
cp3u                    905

Neoscrypt is unchaged from cpuminer-multi. Most of the other algos are unstable.
I don't expect the numbers to change before release. I still need to try compiling on
Windows (yuk vcxproj) but if I have problems I won't hold up the test release.
I might have something for you by the weekend.

This is fun!

[bensam1231]

If you guys can improve x11 or Ethereum that'd be worth some coin. Please consider targeting the big algos.

Neo is going to be up in the air till Cryptsy comes back or dies...
