Anybody trying GPUCoin with scrypt:N? I am getting all bad hashes for some reason. Hmm.
cudaminer.exe --algo=scrypt:N -H 2 -i 1 -m 1 -l T10x24 -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3367

No exchange yet I don't think
That's the problem. I too believe that this coin could have huge potential if Christian is doing another masterpiece - but we don't know yet whether the market will accept it...

I think if you can get HeavyCoin to work Christian, then it's going to be a max coin style event. Nvidia as only capable miners, would be another big profit venture if you can get it to work off their cpu code
Are there any exchanges yet for HeavyCoin? Mined 20 coins on my CPU's today but no idea what the value would be?

yes could be interesting, I tried yesterday my luck on it yesterday with my cpu... I only got noise...
(did they finally manage to get pools ?)

I've been looking into the newly released HeavyCoin, which uses 4 well known hash functions
(SHA-256, Keccak-512, Grøestl-512, BLAKE-512) plus a new one called HEFTY1
They claim it's CPU only, which I might actually put to the test.

Yes please!!!
While the hype and timings are not comparable, the earnings could just remotely resemble the Max launch (oh, what a night)...

Any tips on C++/CUDA?
...uh, learn by doing

Nice that your taking my suggestion
Good luck, i wish i could help, but im still teaching myself. Any tips on C++/CUDA?

Have you tried to look into the task manager just to see what process was causing that ? (can't be cudaminer if it is closed... could be windows explorer though... had something really strange yesterday while plugging my phone into my computer...)
Yeah, there isn't anything visible at all (this is *with* all processes shown for all users).
However I might be making some headway:
Previous settings:
GPU Clock Offset: 0
Memory Clock Offset: +500
I did this because I read somewhere that the GPU clock offset didn't seem to have much of an impact on hashing speed.
Anyway I just reset the memory clock offset from +500 to 0, and increased the GPU clock offset from 0 to 20. It was stable (but hashing slower). I cancelled Cudminer and it was responsive in closing. The system CPU usage wasn't through the roof after closing either. I repeated this with a GPU Clock Offset of 40. Same result. System fine. CPU usage looking healthy / normal.
I'm going to try to confirm this next, but this appears to suggest increasing the Memory Clock Offset puts a lot more pressure on the system both before and after(?!) mining.
Ok. I increased the GPU clock offset by 10, upto 50 and left it there.
I then set the memory clock offset at +100, and increased it by +50 at a time, upto +500. Everytime closing Cudaminer was quick and the system was responsive immediately afterwards. I tried using Cudamanager at this point and again it stopped mining almost immediately (previously it took 20 seconds or more).
Could it be that having a high memory clock offset, without an increase in GPU clock offset could cause a problem? I don't understand overclocking enough to know whether these are related.
So, happy to report that things seem stable now at +50/+500 (pretty sure this wasn't earlier). Interestingly when I tried +50/+520 it went back to being sluggish (unusable) again and had to reboot.

Wow! Have to hand it to you, I'm not a hardcore miner and I was only getting into it for the fun, but man, this has tripled my hashrate! I was only mining on my CPU (i7 3630QM) and it was getting me about ~30Khash/s.... My GPU (Geforce GT 650M), once started on this program, is spitting out 60Khash/s just on it's own!
Many thanks for kicking the AMD master-race believers in the ass! (Nvidia FTW!)

Interesting you achieved this with risers. Have you ever tried to see what kind of hashrate you get without risers on those cards?
I'd be curious to see how that's possible on a board with only one 16x slot..

Any progress or updates on the riser issue?
my 10 risers have arrived. That's progress I guess.

Whenever I close Cudaminer (2012-02-28), my system becomes extremely sluggish (Win 7 x64). I was going to say that it seems to be MSI Afterburner that is the culprit but that might not be true. Before running Cudaminer it doesn't take up much CPU resource but after quitting Cudaminer, it fluctuates between 10 and 99%. Beforehand it's no more than 4-6%.
Here is the CPU usage after a fresh boot. It settles very quickly and stays low:
And this is minutes after I've closed Cudaminer *and* MSI Afterburner. Lots of spiking to 99% but it doesn't appear visible in the process list from what I can see.
The CPU is a single core AMD 2.8GHz Sempron but they run perfectly well with cgminer/sgminer/vertminer and AMD cards.
Any ideas?

Whilst mining (4 card rig) responsiveness is terrible too actually (this still doesn't explain why it remains so after finishing mining). Between cudaminer, cudamanager and either MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X (tried both) it hogs the CPU - almost 100%.
Connecting to the sytem takes a long time (sometimes times out). Testing / tweaking settings becomes far slower. When it crashes, the only solution seems to be a system reboot (often taking a very long time as the system is unresponsive).
This doesn't happen with AMD cards/drivers/mining software and it's making the switch from those to these cards extremely difficult (I want to convert! really!). System usage on the same configuration but admittedly with 1 x 7990 (hashing far faster than 4 x 750 Ti):
