### CWI-MINING - CWIGMHi All,
We here at ChainWorks Industries (CWI) have been in heavy discussion with regards to the following, and have decided that a closed beta test is the best way to stamp out issues and bugs for the miner/miners we have had under development.
The goal of the new CWIgm-beta is very simple and straight forward - to be the simplest and most optimized miner in crypto history.
The current incarnation of CWIgm-beta is NOT the most optimized miner we have, though CWIgm will have a good hashrate. What this incarnation WILL be is the precursor to the development of the fully fledged CWIgm miner, which will become an integral part of the CWI-Mining system, which includes the CWI-Pool system.
To maximize the stability of CWIgm, we will need to test it on various platforms. The most common, and most unstable currently, is the Windows OS. Testing for the Linux strain of CWIgm is mainly internal for the time being. As such, the reason for CWIgm to take the form of beta test Windows binaries is ovious. We will look at Linux binaries soon for closed beta at a later date, but for the time being the Windows platform is the one OS that we need to look more closely at squashing any bugs we may find. In order to do so, we require a number of individuals that are willing to test the miner and report back what they find.
The CWIgm miner credentials are as follow -
Start Name - CWIgm-Beta
Start Version - 0.9.7
Start Platform - Windows xx
Start Compilation - x32/x64
Start Working Structure - Restricted (Pool and Parameter Restriction)
Start Efficiency - SemiOptimized (Class C)
Start Release - Closed Beta
Most of the details above are self explanatory, while some others are internal designations. For those willing to accept inclusion for the beta test, a few things need to be understood and accepted.
These are the starting requisites -
1 - Compilation - will be the 32Bit and 64Bit versions
2 - Platform - CWIgm binary will be for the Windows platform
3 - Release - for use in the CWI Closed Beta Test Module
4 - Efficiency - Optimized Kernel at Level C
5 - Working Structure - the use of the miner is restricted in the following ways
- CWIgm currently being tested on one algorithm - SKUNK
- CWIgm currently is locked to CWI-Pool Signatum (SIGT)
- CWIgm has few parameters (eg - Port Selection 2000/6000 ) among a few others
6 - Version - the current version level of the miner
7 - Name - CWIgm meaning ChainWorks Industries GPU Miner (currently nVidia based CUDA miner)
The initial Algorithm we have based our miner is SkunkHash, currently only mined on Signatum coin. CWIgm is locked onto our pool for Signatum, however the CWI-Pool Signatum is open to the public to mine with what ever miner that is compatible with SkunkHash. We do ask that miners just follow a few basic guidelines to keep things running smooth.
The address of CWI-Pool Signatum is -
http://pool.chainworksindustries.com/sigt/
CWI-Pool Signatum Mining Stratum is split into two ports. The first is the Low Difficulty Port for those miners that have small to medium sized hashrates (estimated up to approximately 25 x 1080ti cards), and the second being the High Difficulty Port for those miners that have medium to high hashrates (estimated at approximately 25 x 1080ti cards to GPU Farms).
The mining parameters for both ports are -
lodiff - stratum+tcp://stratum.chainworksindustries.com:2000/
hidiff - stratum+tcp://stratum.chainworksindustries.com:6000/
If you are part of the beta test, CWIgm will automatically assign the address to the pool internally. All you have to do is specify the port you wish to mine on, and the algorithm., although as the development of the miner progresses, this may change.
Please remember to use the allocated port for the hashrate you intend mining with. If you choose the lodiff port for high hashrate - you will flood the stratum with low diff shares and your miner will be banned. Conversely, if you use the hidiff port with low hashrate, the miner will sit there looking as if its not mining while it processes very high difficulty shares which will more than likely be rejected because it took too long to submit.
So please choose the right port for the size of your mining system or farm.
Being an MPOS mining pool, this pool requires that you setup an account FIRST before directing your miners to it. This is common for Beta Testers and Public miners alike. Once your CWI-Pool Account is setup, this account can be used on any of the pools attached to this CWI-Pool Server, as part of the SSO (Single Sign On) system.
The details of the pools will be updated as we update the miner with new algorithms.
CWIgm is a MINER, which contains MINING code, thus with some virus scanning software, CWIgm will be scanned as a virus or an application containing a virus. This is what is known as a 'False Positive'. In other words, CWIgm will be listed as potentially having code that 'could' be considered as part of the virus list the virus scanner has. CWIgm is most certainly NOT a malicious piece of code, and most certainly does NOT contain virii of any sort. If you obtained CWIgm directly from us, we can guarantee the authenticity and 'clean' code. If you are a miner and have any doubts as to the validity or security of the CWIgm binary, please refrain from using CWIgm. We will NOT support you with help if CWIgm did not come directly from us (especially if you are not part of our Closed Beta for CWIgm). As an additional reference and assurance, ALL files associated with the CWIgm package will have their MD5Hash made publicly available in the following post.
We must explicitly state that CWIgm IS experimental software, and we cannot be held responsible for issues that may arise by using this software. You the user, take this software on an 'AS IS' basis and accept full responsibility over the use of CWIgm on your computer/mining system. You the user understand that this is experimental software and the use of this software strictly for testing purposes only. We (CWI) will not take responsibility, explicit or implied, for Warranty or Guarantees of any sort and that CWI is providing the software for testing purposes only.
In saying that, we WILL try and support the issues that may arise from time to time, with the perspective that we solely wish to improve CWIgm for future use, stability and functionality.
As with ANY software that ANY miner uses in theCryptoIndustry please -
- be patient
- post/report any issues you may find
- post/report any success you may have
- publish any form of OC you do including the results, specifications and figures
- if you intend to use CWIgm, please push CWIgm so that we may find its limitations and results that ensue
- be honest and dont inflate or deflate results
- enjoy the use of CWIgm and have fun mining
If you accept these conditions and decide that you would like to be in the closed beta, please PM me directly and I shall accompany the return message with the Welcome Pack, which has download and instructional details. Please read the contained README.txt that is contained in the Welcome Pack, as it contains the most current information you require to run the latest version of CWIgm.
We are submitting CWIgm to our beta testers only in a Closed Beta Environment. We of course are not naive enough to think that it may not be used outside of the beta test environment, but we shall only supply the links to the Beta Test Candidates. So if you have a copy of CWIgm we ask that you take care in qualifying the application you have in your possession, especially if the software has NOT come from our Beta Test links. As mentioned earlier, the next post is published with the MD5Hash of ALL the files, so you can be sure that CWIgm miner in your possession is the actual CWIgm mining software that we publish in our Closed Beta Test Environment.
Our aim is to make CWIgm a Simple Powerful Stable miner.
With your help, we can make that happen.
This thread is a self moderated thread, which means that ALL degrading and offensive and non-constructive comments that we notice (and gets reported) WILL be deleted at our (or the BitCoinTalk Moderator) discretion.
If you want to join us in the growth of ChainWorks Industries (CWI) and help us with improving the CWI-EcoSystem - please do so.
Please be Constructive - Please be Patient - Please be Respectful
