Yes, nf:15 will differ. I don't have the settings for that one though.
On large nfactor scrypt-jane, Linux is better by at least some 20%.

whoa thats pretty substantial.. sigh..

Hello! Has anyone been able to get gtx 980's to run scrypt jane on 15 or 16? I cannot for the life of me get it to work.

It's been a while, but I think these were my settings for Scrypt-Jane:16, on Windows.
One config aims towards max efficiency, the other one towards max hashrate:

cudaminer -a scrypt-jane:16 -L 8 -b 8192 -l t64x2 -i 0
cudaminer -a scrypt-jane:16 -L 16 -b 8192 -l t64x4 -i 0


There are much better settings/performance on Linux though.
Happy Mining!

Thanks! Does that config differ for nf 15? And how much faster we talking on Linux? I use a Windows only port switching program, so I tend to stick to Windows.

so i dont know if this has been brought up before, theres a lot of posts in this thread and all
but on my 750ti hashing lyre2re v2 its fine and hashes about 4.3Mh with the 1.5.60
but any update past that ccminer version and i get high-hash errors
the hash rate is higher on the newer ones and id like to use them
but its counter productive even with higher hash rate when i have a reject ever 5th share

has there been a fix for this yet or maybe my settings are wrong?
heres my run script:

ccminer.exe -a lyra2v2 -o stratum+tcp://vtc.give-me-coins.com:3337 -u worker.1 -p x -t 1 -d gtx750ti -i 17 -l T5x12

I think you're in the wrong thread, 1.5.60 is an SP-MOD release. Sometime around that release the default difficulty
for lyra2v2 was changed to match the majority of pools, but apparently broke on some. There is some discussion
of it in the SP-MOD thread around the time 1.5.60 & 61 were released.
nothing is broken, you just need to use --diff 0.5 with that pool, I contacted them on their irc channel they didn't even bother to reply

ICO? Not even once.
Running Windows10 poses a great security threat for every user. If you check the telemetry data that's being sent to M$, you will understand why they don't have to ask money for it in order for you to get the OS. For what it's worth, I wouldn't be surprised at all if at some point it was revealed that there was a hidden miner service inside in order to mine for bitcoin in every PC... Tongue

Nah, it's too easy to monitor hardware usage so they can't hide using the CPU/GPU. But information is also very valuable, maybe even more so than botnet mining so they are collecting all kinds of data on users. Probably not just metadata.

Yes, I think you are on to the truth.  If all games worked under Linux without so many problems I'd say goodbye to Windows for good. On your thoughts about M$ mining on your hardware without you knowing, I visit a faucet for litecoin and bitcoin, and at some times when certain ads were on the site, my hashrates would plummet, I contacted the owner of the site and after those ads went away now my hashrate doesn't go down anymore, so I think the hashing behind your back thing is happening, if M$ is doing that they should be sued.

Those ads are probably using some script to draw juice from your GPU/CPU power. I don't *REALLY* think that M$ is behind such a task (that would've been ultra bullish for whatever they were mining) Tongue

As for games under Linux, I'd propose Crossover (Wineskin equiv. for Mac). Under most circumstances it's perfectly working out with games I've tried and it's quite easy to port them there. I used to have it on an Ubuntu distro back in 2013, but mostly using wineskin now for porting apps from Windows to my Mac. Works every time, give it a go.

I meant that an advertiser was mining coins, not specifically M$.  Proof that it can be done, so whether M$ is doing that or not, they surely could in Win 10.  I hope Linux keeps getting better and better for games, I keep an eye on where it's at, and I would bet many others do too, as soon as most every game works, you will see a massive exit from Windows by gamers.

Anyone using Windows 10 with GTX 480 or 580's with the 355.60 seeing hashing rates much slower?  On ccMiner21 mining dash I went from 1.4 Khash/s to 0.9 with the 480, and from 1.8 to 0.9 with the 580.  I have asked nVidia about it and reported it as a bug so at least they know about it I am not expecting much since they are older.  Interestingly enough the GTX 680 hashes away at it's normal 2.9 Kh/s with the 355.60.  Any help would be appreciated. It really would not even be a problem and I would just run the earlier drivers and be done with it, except as Windows 10 is force installing, even though I have disabled it from doing so, it still force installs 355.60 and I have to revert to 340.xx series to get back good hashrates. Are there any versions of some underlying software that I might be able to update?  For example Microsoft C++ redistributables or something?  Seems NVidia or Microsoft may have changed something to make them hash so much less. Thank you for any thoughts, Vvrroomm

Christian B, if I hear anything from Nvidia, I will post it here, so far nothing.  I'll try the newest drivers when they are released.  At the moment I have found a way with Group Policies in Win 10 to not allow updates to drivers, seems to be working.  I'd like to update all my cards so they can hash faster, except really I hash some on these old PCs because they were setting around and a few dollars in digital coins for just setting up a few batch files seems worth it to me.  Kind of fun to see them hashing coins, even though they are getting long in the tooth.

I am trying to mine PotCoin with CudaMiner, however there seems to be certain parameters that I need to set.

For the most part, getting my miner to work is a copy/paste job, as I have lucked out and gotten the right string on some coins.

Can someone post to me the string for a GeForce GTX 750 Ti for PotCoin?  I guess I simply don't understand the parameters explained in the readme files and am at a loss.

**EDIT**

I am on Windows 7 64-bit.

I can run my pot miner on cgminer 3.7.2 just fine but as I've read cuda is the way to go for nVidia.

Hi Everyone,

Most of you wont know me but a few will. My Original account "bigjme" has been hacked and a proof of me being me can be found here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/flag-a-hacked-account-1156114

As a heads up to people still using it, cudamining.co.uk will expire on 06/08/2016 as that is when i own the domain until. As i have been out of crypto for a LONG time, there are no funds left to keep the domain purchased.
Hosting will remain active until the domain expires, and if anyone would like information from the website before it shuts, i will gladly give it out.

I should get the main account back at some point, but for now, happy mining!
Hi bigjme,
How have you been? I'm sorry to hear that. Almost all of us are on sp thread. Maybe you can put sp releases and djm releases and more on your web page and keep it going with donations. Please post your post on sp thread.  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ccminersp-mod-modded-nvidia-maxwell-pascal-kernels-826901
Thanks again for all your help. Smiley

Hey there bigjme, welcome back. cudaminer is not getting developed by anyone. For joinging the discussion please come to ccminer thread for sp_ fork.
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.new#new

djm34 & others are also developing their own forks.
