actually if that could convince the guy doing 500 curecoins a day to move to x11 that would be great Grin

(I think I am already done with x11 coin... they have redefined the term of shitcoin with 2 or 3 launch/ day even during business days... totally insane)

hmm for me CureCoin mining never paid a dime. The pool didn't pick up my submitted work units. Strange.

I signed up here with same user name as for folding @ home.

Should I have set a team number, maybe?

Team number is 224497, if it's missing you won't get anything...

In principle you just need to use the team number of the pool and use on the pool the username which was used to register folding@home (works for me).

Saw that
have u read the thread ? The miner is not stable. Many miner report crash.

also so far it isn't in compliance with the miner's license terms (one of the original authors has threatened
to sue). I haven't checked if there is a resolution to this already.

And you're secretly hoping to be able to peak at it too, isn't it Tongue

I'm wondering why he hasn't released it yet, it's only a push of a button Cool

I think it is a good idea to just let him speak to these discussions about supporting AMD/ATI cards and not just engage in banter one way or another.

the last ATI (now AMD) card I owned was a Radeon 9550 I think (2005 timeframe)
Also I am not familiar at all with OpenCL. But I consider myself really proficient in CUDA.
I own about 20 nVidia cards (but not all are currently in service).

So why is it I should support/improve AMD mining? It would cut into my nVidia mining profits.
Like, seriously. Supporting both vendors would have the same effect as supporting none.
It wouldn't shift the balance of power in favor of anybody.

Christian

Another bullish statement read this week. Majority of x11 hashrate now belongs to amd card. Improving their hashrate would seriously cut down nvida advantage and profit margin

It quite silly to work on both since u will be trying to beat yourself over and over again and end up having the same stuff at the end because both increase in performance.

@zelante

Maybe we need another cudaminer/ccminer patch for the failover script.
The stratum timeout is too long.
We are loosing mining time if the price changes while mining on nicehash.
Maybe cudaminer/ccminer should exit after 5 seconds so that the script can check the price again.

whats the best thing i can do with my NVIDIA GTS 250s? (Sensible answers please Wink

)

that's still a great card vor watching movies and porn.

or use his miner that STILL works before he dropped support for your card ?

Or perhaps it's just that card doesn't support compute 3.0, thus nvidia doesn't support his card. Tongue

You could make the argument that older cards could be supported, but realistically all developers need to draw a line as to what hardware will be supported so that they can continue to work on the latest and greatest. Their time is best spent working on thinking forward, rather than working backwards. I know I have a couple 8800s laying around someplace, but I don't expect them to be supported by anything really.

Some helpful stuff for those who mining with our batch solution on NiceHash.
Now this is console program can receive prices from NiceHash Cool

Just throwing in my .02 here

Christian has his own reasons for what he does, and what he chooses to spend his time on supporting.

I think it is a good idea to just let him speak to these discussions about supporting AMD/ATI cards and not just engage in banter one way or another.

I can't see the majority having anything to add, because if C&C decide tomorrow to go that route, that is their choice.

Just don't want to see 50 posts going back and forth on the topic.

So far he has strongly stated that Nvidia is his preference, and that is fine by me!

what discussion ? It seems to me that just some guy threw the idea here and got flamed in return by some fan boy (lets put it this way Grin

, that's the way I read it actually...)
I personally think it is better that not all dev. works on all the miners, competition is good (that's the reason actually nvidia is on top at the moment)
On the practical point of view cuda is not opencl and vice versa (even though they are similar)
so it is better that someone knows very well one or the other rather than having notions on both...

Is there a way that ccminer will close itself if something like this happens?
If it crashes like this, only a small rate of shares will still be sent to the pool.

Thanks.

yes. modify cpu-miner.c and add this code before this string https://github.com/cbuchner1/ccminer/blob/master/cpu-miner.c#L932

Code:

	if (thr_hashrates[thr_id] > 1e8){
		applog(LOG_ERR, "abnormal hashes %f, exiting with code 211!", thr_hashrates[thr_id]);
		exit(211);
        }

you can choose custom error Wink

I am merely asking someone who is talented and successful to continue to be so by recreating their talents on a different gpu platform by creating an optimized Radeon miner. Genius cannot be readily replicated by another. It is innate and some have it and some do not. I personally would love for Christian to work his/their genius on the Radeon platform.

Personally, I think there's enough eyeballs on AMD and it's codebase. C&C are giving the best to a niche crowd right now, who up until recently haven't really had a leg up on AMD. The AMD folks never offered to help in the past, and now that nvidia is king, they're looking to sit at the table with us. :\
