Hey, nice work dev(s), just wanted to say your approach looks to be top tier. What's your plan for expansion?
Also, I just set up a new station - except this time I tried the latest AMD beta drivers, got some dynamic link library error. Should I just revert to 14.12?
According to the finished and planned features (can be viewed on the roamdap) the aim should be to become the perfect digital currency for merchant and mobile use. The staking and energy efficient wallets which will be released soon consume ~0% cpu while staking. This will reward the user and also strengthen the network. The true instant transactions coming later will also favour this concept. The POW/POS hybrid design used here makes a 51% attack almost impossible. Vanillacoin adresses several problems that the old Bitcoin/Peercoin codebase has and John is also working on the CoinPP project which will help Peercoin derivatives to adapt a new and better codebase for their projects. Jump on IRC if you want to take part in the discussion. On your second Issue I can't really help out, I'm using 14.12 currently.

John-connor is the developer, you can see him commenting here on different occasions, I'm leading the discussion here and moderating the official forums also. On a sidenote John has 20+ years of programming experience on the P2P field so expect great things from him. Yes, the android/iOS wallet is under development and will soon be released. Since the vanillacode can be easily ported to ANY platform you expect the best and fastest wallets.

If someone here has Windows, 280x and some taste to adventure, I released WhirlpoolX kernel wrapped in renewed host. Kernel is fast and stable, CPU host is rather ugly and not ready for real production use, whether you get extra hashpower or will waste your time is up to your luck EDIT: Warning, this release does not work with Nicehash, most probably other hash rental sites will not work too. Incompatibility is on Smelter side, Stratum implementation is too basic.
|
Of course I gave you bad advice. Good one is way out of your price range.

Added an explanation of the multitier architecture into the op, it also tells us how this favours use on mobile platforms.

I am testing with 3 rigs of two, three, and four cards. Since you can't change any settings like intensity or see your graphics cards like in sgminer, all I can report is that it seems to work for a few minutes and then stop or start erroring low diff share. It barely wants to run at 100% cpu on my single core rig, and my dual core rigs do better at 50% cpu use. But having to restart it all the time doesn't make it practical yet. I am in the low 80's C with default auto fan, so I assume that is acceptable. Thanks Smolen, and if you can give us any tips or what settings we can use in the .bat, or a less buggy version in the future that would be great. Keep up the good work, see you past the Vanilla Sky.

Honestly, these bugs were the main reason to release Free version to give Smelter test run on various hardware, OS and drivers. Stratum implementation is way too fresh, it doesn't handle corner cases well. At the beginning of session server sends low difficulty jobs, miner finds and puts into upstream queue a bunch of shares, then server rises the difficulty and refuses to accept old shares. Sometimes Smelter filters out invalid shares, sometimes not. Usually after minute or two it's clear is session failed or not. Intensity is hardcoded in public release. If it is set too high driver hangs up entire PC and I have to turn off power supply, reset button not always works. Not a big pleasure to debug 1 x 280x, amd 15.3 512MH/s, smooth run ~1h, cpu load < 30% all girlz around reduced their wardrobe to bikinis (btw resets memclock to default, i can't prevent that)
Cool side effect! Strange, miner has no code at all to mess with clocks and fans, I'll take a look at it.

There isn't much to be configured. User can play with worksize (64, 128 and 256) and number of threads. To flood the screen with tons of diagnostics use --debug. Before claiming that I violated GPL, take a look at 'smelter --copyrights' output. To exit, use control-C or type any letter and then ENTER. Program options: -? [ --help ] This help message --copyrights Print libraries copyright message(s) -o [ --url ] arg pool url (ex: -o http://pool:port ) -u [ --user ] arg Pool username -p [ --pass ] arg Pool password -w [ --worksize ] arg Worksize -g [ --gputhreads ] arg Threads per GPU -D [ --debug ] Enable debug output

Great work!
I get 975mh/s with two 280x, but: GPU temp - 85C VRM temp 1 - 98C (?!) - how safe is that?
Probably too high, but I'm not the best person to ask such questions. Still have my old 6770 lying around and don't want to open the case, connect it and test multi-GPU config Space, power connectors and such things... Anyway, try to lower memory clock, memory is almost not used in this algo. BTW, the binary has kernel for 6770, I didn't test it at all, have no idea whether it works or not

No, not in this release didn't work on 270
I know Started with hardware I have at hands

My view on this: Price went down to 3k after the first 8k peak, and after 2-3 weeks of accumulations now the price is around 9.6k after the peak of 22k (volume was only around 18-20k), imho this is a fine correction that will be probably followed by accumulation and higher peaks as we advance in the developments. Please consider that this is still a PoW coin meaning we have miner pressure, block rewards drop to 88 in ~1717 blocks. The roadmap and the future developments will be awesome and will transform this into a perfect crypto for the daily (mass) use.
