One more tip for the latest maxcoin build.

For the kernel launch configuration: Take the total number of CUDA cores on your card, multiply by 2, and append x32 for the K kernel and x16 for the F kernel. Don't bother with the T kernel for the moment.

This should give somewhat higher performance than the original 1000x32 or 1024x32 configurations suggested in the README, especially on the biger cards like GTX 660Ti, GTX 780, etc...

Use -L 512 with these huge launch configurations or out of memory is guaranteed. But on the other hand, these out of memory errors don't prevent keccak hashing (the program just continues...). Cleaning up these unnecessary memory allocations would be the next item on my "finish the keccak feature" TODO list.

Christian

You'r saying you should run a 5760x32 on a GTX 780 Ti? Holy crap.

Getting 139MH/s with this new config

Code:

cudaminer.exe --algo=keccak -i 0 -m 1 -L 256 -l K3072x32 -o 127.0.0.1:8108 -O maxcoinrpc:supersecretpassword

before i got 137MH/S with this

Code:

cudaminer.exe --algo=keccak -i 0 -m 1 -L 64 -l K1024x32 -o 127.0.0.1:8108 -O maxcoinrpc:supersecretpassword

Using at overclocked GTX 680 4GB. GTX 680 2GB will probably need double the -L value to not run out of memory.

Found 2 MAX blocks at launch. Didn't know my wallet address until today (using maxcoind and having issues issuing commands, but at least it works). Got Maxcoin-QT to not crash long enough to copy my address Cheesy

EDIT: Also wanted to mention i noticed the same issue as the ~~other dude~~ DirtyWilly, need to have the browser running to get full speed :-/

EDIT2: username

got evga precision x or similar? click the voltage tab and toggle k-boost, it worked for me

the K and the F or the T depend on the type of kernel your Nvidia graphics card uses. Cudaminer tell you in the first few line when you run it
It will say something like GeForce GTX 460 with compute capability 2.1 where the 2.1 means I have Fermi kernel which means I use F settings for config parameter -l

Readme definitely worth reading if you are struggling

I will look into it, I have no idea what all of it means, I guess I will just delve into the readme/internet to understand what it all mean, what K is, what F is... Anyway, thx for the response. Whatever I change, I can't go past 117k, I guess that's the limit for now, will leave it mining at that rate, and maybe come back one I understand more. Thx again.

Have you checked the spreadsheet at the OP? Some valuable info can be found there.

First of all good evening guys, its kinda my first post.

I am trying to mine Maxcoin, as many are I suspect, and I really really can't figure out the setting for my GTX 670, I basically have no idea what I am doing.

I am currently running:

cudaminer.exe --algo=keccak -q -l K2688x32 -i 1 -C 0 -m 1 -H 2 -L 128 -o stratum+tcp://stratum1.max.hashfaster.com:4004 -u username.worker name -p worker pass (I have no idea what this mean, I just read a bunch of posts about it, on the website, on here, and made a batch file that seems to work).

I am using a GTX 670 Windows 3 OC (I OCed it to 1228 core clock, and +300 or the memory) from Gigabyte.

I would really appreciate some help. Its basically my first night trying this, I would just like to find the optimal settings for the 670, but have no idea how, or even where to start. Any nibble of help would be amazing. I tried to decipher what you guys were talking about (no offense), but I am having no luck XD I hope someone can at least guide man, since this coin is so new, I found nothing anywhere.

Thx a bunch in advance.

have you read the readme section where it says

. Launch configs should look somewhat like this
(do not exceed the warp figures given here)

-l F1000x16
-l K1000x32 << fastest on my GTX 780
-l T1000x24

Best to replace the 1000 blocks with a large multiple of your card's
multiprocessor count. At least a few hundred, but probably less than 3000.

hey I'm a learner here too but I would suggest taking away the -q so you can see more of the output. I don't know how powerful your 670 is or what kernel it uses but you need to check that out with testing and apply the appropriate config presumably you think its a K kernel. try lowering the launch config numbers as well, F1000x16 worked whereas F1000x32 failed for me.

omg Christian fix the last release of cudaminer there is a problem I have around 1% not accepted with maxcoin I loved yesterday was 50% I was feeling its fair to everyone like that

DirtyWilly, the donation addresses given in the Readme are good...

Christian, I sent you a 0.100 BTC!

Can anyone else top that? Don't be greedy, he made us a lot of freaking dough guys. Most of us wouldn't have 1/100th the coin if it wasn't for his efforts.

Thanks again man.

Yeah I topped that, 48MAX when they were still valuable (I hope Mr. C sold them during that time too)

Right on, if it goes up, I'll gladly shell out more.

what is the best settings for gtx690 for maxcoin?

i having about 106mhs for every core, i think thats a little to low
(660ti in same system having about 110-116)

There is no kernel for mining Protoshares?

I have a GTX 650 Ti (non-boost). I use: cudaminer.exe (09 version) --algo=keccak -i 0 -l K512x32 -C 2 -H 2 -L 128 Get: 55 khash. With your settings, get an error and same speed.

Just realized you're using "Y" kernel
