Just finished my UTC song!!  Cheesy Cheesy

http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=12711941

Very nice!!   I have one question.  From listening....I'm not quite sure what I am supposed to do.   Buy Ultracoins?  Cheesy

Good evening Smiley

-snip-

Do you have some tips or advise for me?
I thank you for your time reading my post and look forward to your reactions Smiley

Welcome to UTC!!  It seems you have already done your work setting up Scrypt-Jane.   I believe your Kh/s is about right for those cards, so you should be dialed in!

Good evening Smiley

I'm was looking for a different scrypt-algorithm coin I could try and for getting some feeling to it for the future and decided to give UTC a try. In the past I only did scrypt and keccah. Then moved on to Scrypt-N coins such as Execoin for which required some time finding the correct settings for my gpu's. And so, today, I'm trying to find the good settings UTC.

It looks like this is yet another variant of Scrypt and Vertcoin-CGMinerAleksNR3 no longer works.
After downloading Ultraminer, I thought about using the same config I used for the other scrypt-n coins, but they no longer worked and only got me hardware errors, reducing the WU to less and 5kh/s.

Back to the config design table, I've rebuilt them step by step, always getting a deluge of HW errors and little accepted shares. Until I got to this point:

Code:
"failover-only" : true,
"scrypt-jane" : true,
"sj-nfmin" : "4",
"sj-nfmax" : "30",
"sj-time" : "1388361600",
"api-allow" : "127.0.0.1",
"api-listen" : true,
"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-fan" : "30-60",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-dyninterval" :"7",
"gpu-engine" : "1050",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"gpu-powertune" : "-20,20",
"gpu-reorder" : true,
"vectors" : "1",
"shaders" : "2048",
"thread-concurrency" : "16384",
"worksize" : "256",
"intensity" : "12",
"loopup-gap" : "2",
"temp-target" : "75",
"temp-overheat" : "78",
"temp-cutoff" : "80",
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "1",
"expiry" : "1",
"no-submit-stale" : true

What's new compared to the past, (next to the specific scrypt-jane settings) are vectors, shaders, intensity and thread-concurrency of 16384. I always had to use 8192 for scrypt and keccah, 8191 for scrypt-n. The intensity decreased for 13 to 12. I am very surprised that tc 16384 and i 12 solved the deluge of hardware errors.

However, I've no idea what I can expect as hashrate with and MSI R9 280X Gaming? (Produced in October 2013, thus less luxury as it has no vrm-sensors and voltage locked by default)

Is the following what I should expect and be happy about, or is there something I can change to squeeze out some more kh/sec?

Code:

Taking my electricity bill into consideration, I've undervolted those gpu's.
They came stock at 1200mV for 1020/1500 Mhz. Above snapshot is made by running them at 956mV for 1050/1500 Mhz.

Do you have some tips or advise for me?

You're right where you are supposed to be with those cards.

Awesome.


honestly the song is on point also.
Anyone who uses ultra coin will instantly be amazed at how fucking fast ultracoin is, it fucking does cartwheels around bitcoins transaction time.

Ultra coin fucking blows away bitcoin in speed.
If the development team can come together address the user of bitcoins primary fear at the moment which is the malleability issue it will completely blow bitcoin out of the water.

But yea, in regards to the speed, I don't understand why anyone would use bitcoin over Ultra coin , why the hell use bitcoin and wait such long times for confirmations and transactions when you could use Ultra coin for day to day transactions, in a month people are gona be cursing themselves out for selling.

Btw,

Thanks for adding the pair: UTC/LTC !!

Will be very useful in the long term. 

So folks LTC can be traded direct > UTC. Wink

That's deff doable!

Thanks CT

How do we do this Nick, create a new address to collect the funds? I'll pledge 250 UTC for now

KC

I don't know, let's wait for Bumface to speak, since he has the promo funds

- goto this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5576837
- if you like to enter the challenge, transfer X UTC to the given address
- when there are at least 7,500 UTC at the address, we will add 25,000 UTC on top of it and send the total amount to Devs.
