How do you guys manage to run your Acorn 215+ miners at clock speeds of 200 mhz?
My Acorn 215+ only runs stable at 50 mhz and if I go higher then it just crashes from overheating.

im running windows.

so cant really help ya on that, sorry

Does it all work on Linux versions also? ...

#crysx

Yes indeed.

Also crysx, I updated Denarius recently (our master branch is updated) to v3.3.8.5, which now supports all ARM platform compiling (and other linux flavors should compile easier) Snapcraft is in the works currently as well.

I got myself a couple Acorns coming that I will do some playing around with it for Tribus and Denarius...

https://fpgaforums.com has a link to both Linux/Win versions as well as https://thefpgaforum.com I will try to post all Tribus bitstreams that I can find, I may even take a whack at making one.  Tongue

This would be quite interesting Carsen ...

It has been a while since we discussed/worked on anything our end (CWI) with Denarius, but we are launching our newest member Mine - Chrysolite. Will be for public beta shortly and hoping to add Denarius into it soon after public beta commences. We are also involved (now heavily) in the FPGA production Algos, and looking at BitStreams ourselves. Maybe it is time for us to discuss development and cooperation again, as you know of my respect for your good work on the coin developments.

One door closes, another opens I suppose. Let's chat when you have time, and if you are interested.

#crysx

yes all the current acorn stuff works in both windows and linux. for linux most seem to use ubuntu.

Thanks ...

We use Fedora 27/29 x64 on our mining and WorkStation systems, so a local compile would be beneficial for us if we go this way.

Why would I do that? I'm not trying to be anyone's water boy and sale a product that can't sell itself. 

This was just side discovery for anyone here who have one to test for themselves.  You wanted proof, I showed you proof.  Take it or leave it.

Run the benchmarks without mining several rounds.  you would get different results.

There is no GPU boost happening here.  The Tribus algo coin you're mining is only being done on Acorn.  The Acorn is not talking to the GPU at all here; that was the task of SQRL miner which is still only on paper.

On another note, I sent one of my Acorns to be RMA'ed, so I'm down to just one 215+.  I asked them for some VRM heatsinks too.
I discovered something really interesting with running one Acorn. 

There is definitely some inadvertent GPU boosting happening when I'm running one 215+ mining, but not boost to GPU mining, but boost to GPU gaming performance.   

I recently got around to running 3DMark tests on my Threadripper/CrossFire VEGA workstation and I am shocked to discover my scores are higher when I leave the AcornMiner running mining Tribus.   No BS.

:proof:
Here is my Fire Strike score on my Workstation with the 1 Acorn on M.2 not mining.   
https://www.3dmark.com/fs/19112415

Here is my Fire Strike score on my Workstation while the single Acorn on 1 M.2 is mining Denarius Tribus.
https://www.3dmark.com/fs/19113997

See how it went up over 100+ points, that's some kind of enhancer as one would think running any crypto-mining in the background while benchmarking would produce negative affects.


Thats not proof.

You have to show clocks as well as processes.

It's simple to manipulate benchmarks.

If you don't know how to prove it ask these guys.

https://www.overclock.net/forum/21-benchmarking-software-discussion/

Do you think I'm going to waste my time to making this up as a lie. That's dumb and immature.

Take it for what it's worth, I have an Acorn CLE-215+ that I normally mine a shitcoins and I've notice leaving it mining while running 3DMark benchmarks it boosts output score.   If you have an Acorn CLE-215+ on a M.2 test it for yourself if you don't want to believe me.


Also, I just got my 2nd Acorn back from RMA today, installed it.  Now mining 2 acorns at 150Mhz again and I just ran another Fire Strike benchmark.

https://www.3dmark.com/fs/19114488

It's even higher now.

I've been playing around with these 3D Benchmarks on my Threadripper workstation for a few days now. 

See my Fire Strike challenge thread, where I go beyond these minuscule Fire Strike scores with this PC.

If you are indeed getting an accelerated bench score you should mention it where I linked and you guys will watch the price of these worthless pieces of shit spike.

But I do not believe you.

May be you guys will tell me something... I started Tribus miner on my CLE215+ miners, but I can see only 30-40 MH/s at the pool side, while there are 5 CLE215+ are installed and I see 156.25 MH/s in miner output. What's wrong?

what pool?

im at tribus on zergpool, just now my three 215+ show 134 at the console, 128 at zergpool. seen it go from 85 to 150.

varies a bit just refresh and youll get sometimes wildly different values poolside.

also make sure youre running the latest miner and bitstream, there are several floating about,

https://pool.sonox.io/ The hashrate is low for several days. I downloaded the miner here: https://thefpgaforum.com/threads/tribus-solo-miner-for-acorns.87/#post-519

p.s. what is your setup at zergpool? My reward is displayed in BTC, in spite that I said "-p c=D" in my miner start string.

thats odd, i grabbed the miner at the link you posted, and there is no .bit file. also the miner is dated 4/11/19, mine is dated 4/13/19. and includes "215+_Tribus_200Mhz_v3.bit"

my command line:

AcornMiner.exe tribus.mine.zergpool.com 8533 Lxxxxxx.acorn c=LTC 150

i do remember it took a day or so for the payout to switch from BTC to LTC. not sure why the delay but the payouts in LTC have been working.

if you flash a new bitstream make sure to fully power down and restart, a simple reboot wont do it.

LTC or BTC mining is useless, these coins are owned by ASICs and you won't get any profit with Acorns.
we're not getting any kind of a profit from the current alt coins, at least you would be able to easily exchange your litecoin or bitcoin pennies from exchanges, then having to wade through the garbage exchanges that run Zen Protocol or Denarius.

Even the cheap free EazyMiner had a Bitcoin/Litecoin miner built into it and I messed around with that when I knew very little about mining and all I had was a Core i5 with a cheap Radeon HD8350 GPU, so I primarily mined LTC to f2pool and made a measly 0.00000792.   Now if a CPU could do that, certainly a FPGA could do better than that with LTC.
Bullshit, showing you don't anything about the current altcoin markets.
fuck-off kiss ass. You added nothing to this discussion except shill.  Now you are trying to start shit, saying I am bullshit.

YOU'RE THE ONE FULL OF SHIT!  

You can't even get FPGA mining can't be profitable when ASICs can mine a coin, so DYOR.
Well my point is why is that?  Is it lack of development?  On paper a FPGA should be able to mine any coin a ASIC can mine provided it has a programmed bitstream.
