WhirlCoin launching very soon. Any chance of having a miner before launch ?
none... since we don't know what there will be in it...

Just wanted to give an update.

I had the 2 rigs were rig b would not use all 5 cards without throttling. Well I fixed my issue after days and hours of messing with it. Changing cpu's, gpu's and power supplies.

The fix...



Brought a new mobo. Everything is fine and dandy now (I can even cpu mine Monero without losing hashes). I guess the old AM2 board was past it's prime.

I find that the Intel Haswell boards gave me the least amount of problems. I am curious what hardware your using?

Just pasting this from another postfrom me earlier, but Rig B was the problem.

Rig A: GPU- 5 750ti's (EVGA SC)      CPU- AMD Phenom II X6 1100T   (cpu usage about 25% usage, avg)    Speed: 35,500 Kh/s or 7,100 Kh/s each card    MOBO: Gigaybyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
Rig B: GPU- 5 750ti's (MSI OC)        CPU- AMD Phenom II X3 710      (cpu usage about 70% usage, avg)     Speed: 26,900 Kh/s or 5,380 Kh/s each card   MOBO: Gigaybyte GA-MA790X-UD4P

I switched Rig B Mobo with a Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3.

I had all parts on hand so that is why I stuck with AMD and AM3+ board. (I actually have 4 rigs running but B was giving me problems).

Small update to my profit calc, v0.5.7b.    Release page
Hi, thanks for the update, but it sets my antivirus on fire when accessing "protected registry keys", Grin and this newer version now requires administrative rights to run in windows.. just curious why it needs admin rights now?

I had some people having problem with launching it without admin rights. Meh, I'll just pull the required admin rights down and use it as standard reply for anyone with errors Smiley

ICO? Not even once.
I just wanted to say thanks for all the solid work guys on the new versions of ccminer, nvminer and that profit calculator. I just completed my AMD to nvidia conversion and wanted to share my progress. Many headaches but its now rocking and rolling. 900+ pages and going strong!

That is a sexy setup!

Who would be "a forum moderator" on this thread? I had a post deleted, and can't for the life of me figure out why. Really curious... and confused.   Huh
I guess a mod read the thread and found the jpc fork stuff had not much to do with the subject (and the big letter might have not help) or you might have been reported (it's not me  Grin however I think the big letter was a bit too much  Grin)

actually the other day I had a post deleted from a moderated thread, I haven't been able to found out from where it has been deleted...  Grin

Doubt:
I have a four GTX750Ti rig (same Gigabyte card on all 4) and was thinking to add 2 Zotacs to it to save power cables.
Will I have problems running a single ccminer on rig?

 Wink


No.
Just add two cards and go. You can also run two instances of ccminer one for gigabyte and the other for zotac's...

happy mining

Ahhh okay then. I was wondering for the last batch of Nvidia I used was way back when they totally stunk and not worth mining on with scrypt... so this is my first new batch and was wondering.

Does this affect performance at all? Not using 100% would almost lead me to think that it could.

Don't use 32-bit binaries for X15. Use 64-bit.

Edit: 64-bit uses less CPU, controller load and utilizes the GPU more - for x15 that is.
need to check that... (cuda 6.5 compile a lot faster... )

edit: It is still slower than 32-bit binaries for me

One quick question.... I dont know if it has been said, or answered, but for whatever reason my gpu power % is not close to 100%...is this normal? If not, how do I fix? Running nvminer-D






That's normal Wink I still have this image I made a few weeks ago: https://i.imgur.com/971bVH7.png
It shows that every algo has its own characteristic, but it never reaches a stable 100% power usage.
I should make an updated one ^^" With killer-groestl it shows a bit different, not mentioning the nice curves CryptoNight makes Cheesy

I take back what I was saying earlier regarding the use of asm instruction.

There is actually some marginal speed increase.
It is noticeable on whirlpool when replacing xor functions by the asm instruction
It was the slowest algo of the bunch, now it is behind groestl... (finally been able to use nsight... a lot better than measuring hashrate  Grin)
and actually the slowest is echo... which is kind of strange...

However the effect is not noticeable on luffa and cubehash as they are already pretty fast...
(the result is independent of the cuda version)
