I so wish I had made this thread self moderated. I would just put a blanket ban on cloud mining related discussion.

I am in the cloud. And then I let it rain Wink

Why do I keep thinking "Star Wars" when I hear the term cloud mining?

The spot prices for GPU instances are very good. I think that a improvement in the tsiv miner for the grid card could make it profitable using GPU + CPU.

@tsiv, if you would like to test in a EC2 instance I can setup one instance and give the credentials so you can log in and run the tests you need.

Just let me know if you want to run some tests.

If anyone need a guidance on how to get tsiv miner running on EC2 instance I can help.


if you could put a tutorial somewhere, I'd be interested in trying (but not right now...)

Need an algo, that encodes a video clip, then hashes the values of pixels based on the last block hash, and of course the encoding method, color distortion, effect and frame of the video clip would be dictated by the previous block, it seems that would require well a video card to do efficiently and only a video card really.  Maybe that would work, or image distortions. If "semi-centralized" could even offer video encoding on the fly for a fee, but then that would require all miners to have sufficient bandwidth, so, probably with out more advanced coin, (with side chains), stick to a set of videos images.

I'm not sure how consistent the result would be though for a video encoded using the exact same parameters on different cards, if in fact they would produce the same output file, then that would seem to be asic proof.

they should have named it WTF coin.

lol @ 42) ROT-13

X-132!

Mind Blown.

And really, it isn't very hard to just change the power to even higher numbers... so this has a LOT of room for growth.

Come on, why do people just keep coming up with more and more complex algorithms?  If the idea is to negate the benefit of ASIC/FPGA/GPU/CPU differences in mining speed then it seems a lot of developers are just throwing complexity at the fan to see what sticks.  We need something that changes the fundamental of how mining is done such as using an external factor that can't be easily stored in the memory footprint of mining hardware.

Let's inject a little honesty:  They're not trying to solve any real problem other than the lack of money in their own pockets.

tsiv, thanks for the fun toy to play with!

there is an x15 coin, shabal and whirlpool added lol

I feel the need for an x99 coin. I'll start working on it right away.


Not quite as ambitious as your x99, they only took it to x86, lol. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-x86-coin-anon-12hr-pow-2-pos-mining-launched-661844


Holy ****.

If it was 87 I'd totally sponsor it. To bad.

Thanks for the new miner tsiv,

is there a reason why it works so much better on a 750ti than a 760ti?  Huh
760ti? Where can you buy that? I want one of those! (j/k Tongue)

No, srsly, my 760 is also performing a lot worse than my 750ti. But that's because it's kepler, 750ti's are the newest maxwell cores. So that's why Smiley

Of joy? Feeling nostalgic?

no, the pain of seeing a mismatch with the underlying hardware design.

Oh, please do Cheesy While you're at it, make sure Nvidia has some really nice advantage up front Smiley

i got Crytonight to work on win 8.1 by using -l 6x40.

these oddball launch configurations bring tears into my eyes.

i got Crytonight to work on win 8.1 by using -l 6x40. The speed display on pool go close to speed shown on ccminer , however, after a while , pool speed cut by almost half and remains there while ccminer still show the same speed. The speed shown on pool rarely goes to the speed shown on ccminer. I tried different pool, all yield the same result.

I am on windows 7 but the bolded part applies to me also. I am hoping that we are getting credit for what ccminer shows.
