The current performance of UTC which can be seen by some as modest or stagnant is actually excellent: in a context where everything slides back and prices go down day after day, seeing that UTC/BTC remains quasi constant tends to prove the current UTC/BTC = 0.0002x level has actually very well consolidated and is rock solid.

The number of miners is also impressive and has consistently grown since a few weeks. Maybe an effect of the DOGE crashing and LTC asics starting to show up as well. Nothing comes for free in this world

Anyway congrats to everyone for this: I know we're onto something here.

However, the clock is ticking because we have to raise over the next weeks. I'm not saying this will have to be impressive like a big pump, but rather that price should exhibit the marks of a _sane_ organic growth, as in more people come in and buy. If we can get 0.00005 or more per month that will be enough and more solid than doubling in one day. This or we might face impatients who will want out of the game and make a negative impact on the prices.

We do not need to be fast, we need to be consistent and attract people around because they see UTC as an investment.

When this happens I have little doubts that big exchanges will follow.

So let's not focus onto getting on another big exchange too fast. We have cryptsy that really is good and that at the time being has the same volume than mintpal, whereas crypto-trade remains the unchallenged 800 pounds gorilla with more volume than all the other exchanges combined.

This shows that we reached a bottleneck. In effect cryptsy is the biggest echange and until it reaches and exceed CT volume we know that trying to list UTC on a bigger exchange is not necessary and could even be counter productive for it might lead to a disappointment for both us as well as the exchange. Until cryptsy becomes the biggest UTC exchange we have time to grow.

What to conclude?

 - Marketing is our issue. It's not a problem because so far we did well. It is something we have to drive to a higher level.

We have to get better exposure, but also vendor acceptance.

 o Exposure will come little by little, we should not make too much noise at once because this will lead to a straw fire.

 o Vendor acceptance is critical: if we can get even a very small share of some e-commerce, doesn't even need to be global, then we can consider that we are on a good track.


To sum up: Let's carry on growing safely and consistently. We should not try to go faster than all the other coins, rather exhibit our ability to be an excellent investment, if possible on of the best around.

Growth should always start slowly. Growth comes from normal people, not whales.
So we have to start trying to get popular.


You are right. The most important is we need time because it's not working without enough $ supply.

Even with decent vendor support, the price will fluctuate too much if there's no enough coin mined.

Im wanting to bring my 290 rig back to utc, can someone let me know the current tc and i settings please. Smiley

Depends upon system RAM..

8GB RAM go for TC 42000, I 18
4GB RAM - I use the same with a lookup gap of 3, others have success with gpu threads 2, tc 21000 and lower I

thanks for that, im getting no hardware errors now and im hashing at 185khs is that about right?

whats your setting for 185kh/s? i can get max 180 kh/s which is not stable

hmmmmm, I'm not getting close those numbers with my current setup. The best I can manage is with my original setting of about 84Khs per card and a WU of:

GPU 0 = WU: 72.6
GPU 1 = WU: 84.6
GPU 2 = WU: 75.6
GPU 3 = WU: 72.6

I tried increasing TC to 191712 and adding --lookup-gap 3, however; that dropped my hash rate to the 60's and my WU to the 50's. My invalid % also went up on my mining pool.

Wirly, would you be willing to share your .conf or .bat file so I can give it a shot on my system?

 I have the hd7950 Boost edition stock oc is 925/1250
also my system memory is 8gb dram @ 1600mhz
Here my .bat settings:
--scrypt-jane --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388361600 -w 256 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 16128 --no-submit-stale --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-reorder -I 12 --gpu-vddc 1.12 --auto-gpu --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-engine 925-1100
--gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-fan 65 --temp-overheat 80 --temp-cutoff 90 --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 10

this gave me hashrate 104 kh/s,

then changed win virtual memory set to "manual" at "22000mb" (64gb ssd drive) for programs- Not let windows decide and this increased hashrate by 10% to 114kh/s and a WU of 93 to 110 on 11 cards. This surprised me

Edit: now I am getting the occasional random hw error, not sure if this is related to pool difficulty or anything else but wu is still good so I will let it go for a bit and see what happens. Don't want to lower the "cha-ching" rate if don't have to!


Hey, thanks for posting your .bat . I have 4x Sapphire Dual-X (SKU 11196-19-20G) stock clock 850Mhz/925Mhz boost clock. Other than that, my setup looks identical to yours.   I tried this .bat and got my hash rate up to 90, WU rate also increased, which is awesome but...bad news bears - one card went *dead* after a few hours of mining.

I think this has to do with my cards not getting enough power. I see your vddc setting is 1.12(0?), I have mine flashed to 1.113 and I don't think cgminer was able to bump up the voltage through the .bat I'll try flashing to 1.125v and 1.131v and see what happens.

What does --gpu-reorder accomplish?

--gpu-reorder attempts to number the gpu according to the pci-e slots on the mob, just for reference purpose. Be careful overvolting this card, it is the one thing that will fry the vrm, watch out for throttling, a sure sign of running to much power. It would be safer to just find  settings that work. just put engine clock lower until it is stable and accept what hashrate it gives you.

Thanks for explaining --gpu-reorder, previously I figured out the card order by disabling 3 of the GPU's and turning fans on the fourth to 90%. Repeated this until I had the order.

I'm not planning on overvolting the cards, these cards came with a stock voltage of 1.269v, currently I have them flashed down to 1.113v. Bumping the voltage to 1.125 or 1.131 would still be undervolted vs stock settings.

guys i run my miner via cg watcher but screen freezes after 6-7 hours later.Is it because my cards fail or cg watcher does that?

Try to set your cgwatcher to restart the miner every 5 hours and see if that helps.

thanks i will try that also i want to know do we get 50utc bonus when we find a block @utc.pool.pm ?

dunno if there doing a 50utc block bonus

but you have to be the only person to submit shares in the block to get full reward


you just get a payment of UTC depending of how many of the shares you put into the block

where can i see that?

hi,

it's me again



I am trying to configure a bat file (windows 8.1) for sgminer for mining UTC  on http://utc.pool.pm/and it does not work at all

I tried :


Code:
sgminer -k scrypt-jane -o stratum+tcp://pickaxe.pool.pm:3306 -u xx -p yy

(xx being my worker name and yy my worker password)


Can somebody help ? What am i doing wrong ?



Thanks  Smiley

Hi, please download the UTC optimized miner. U can get it here: http://ultracoin.net/mining.html
Then you'll probably have to include some settings for your videocard in ur .bat file, look to some configurations throughout this thread. (Look at the last 50 pages, otherwise it will be configurations for the previous N factor)


Thank you

I tried to use sgminer because a friend told me it was faster

I am going to try the UTC miner

Just wanted to throw an update out here. First, I want to thank Biodragon for his continued input and help. Secondly, we have applied some "fixes" over at the http://ultra.leetpools.com pool. The crazy orphan rates seem to have subsided, and we have the wallet optimized to run uber fast. If you other pool owners want, pm me and I can share the optimizations that Biodragon helped me out with.
good job!
