I recently found this bet on bitbet.us:

  https://bitbet.us/bet/1199/the-eth-scam-wont-see-2016/

The bet is whether the price of ETH on poloniex drops below 0.001 BTC in December.

Why I love this coin:
1. One pre compiled miner for everyone. No secret x11 miner that gets 2 times the hashrate. We are all not rainman spread the love!
2. The developers are REAL people that have ALOT of experience
3. Security
4. No plug and mine! You actually have to know what you are doing to get everything working right. I am getting about 50mhs PER 7990 Smiley

What I do not like:
1. The price fall!! Why??? I know that usually coins fall in price at their beginning phases but is this just going to be another pump and dump??
2. Not enough support for the miner! I think we can get things moving a little faster on tahitis and pitcarns
3. Major variance in mining speeds. This suggests there is still some tweaking to do.

Thoughts?

--no-precompute doesn't work on second instance! It truing to (generate or use) the DAG.



ethminer -G --opencl-device 1 -t 3 still doesn't work cause it mine on 2 cards but when finding the share it stuck. And second time i run it it shows error.



I want to ask, who created this method of genius (--opencl-device 1 -t 3) when all miners of the world use -d 1,2,3...........

If i want to use 0,1,3 so this -t will not work ?




The best you can do is to mine on devices 0 and 1 with ethminer -G --opencl-device 0 -t 2
Or just unplug device 2 from your system and mine on all 3

ETH mining is very fragile... miners break all the time and sometimes for no reason Wink



If it would be so easy. 3-290 on full cover water blocks with 3-terminal so it's like impossible. I mine on cgminer sgminer bfgminer ccminer Claymore Xmr Xpm kachur and for ethminer it's ugliest realization with choosing GPU in the world.

Mining eth, but the diff is going to the sky and price to the bottom.  Sad

Why would ETH need to be converted to BTC when you can convert it to fiat (on Kraken for example)?
And if Augur guys believe in their project, they shouldn't make ETH price crash. Well, they can for a reasonable amount, and in small batches, but otherwise it's shooting on your own foot.

personally i dont get Augur. they forked an alpha ethereum after ethereum had only just been released. they are presumably gonna run a pretty centralized blockchain on software very much in its infancy. why do they not run Augur on the ETH blockchain for example? Ive tweeted at Augur but never any comments re these topics. Obv lots of people wanna make a quick buck and assume they'll sell their presale at great profit. Im not so sure its gonna pan out like that.

Ethereum could eventually host the greatest decentralized gambling site/service but Augur seems a little premature and centralized.

Augur will use Ethereum, not be a fork of Ethereum.

"Augur runs on ethereum and requires ETH tokens to run the system." In the Augur FAQ.

The problem with calling 3 instances of ethminer is that they all want to use the same DAG file and the processes crash.  There's supposed to be the --no-precompute switch that you can assign to other instances after the first instance so that they won't try to generate their DAGs but I never got this to work.

If your 6540 happens to be device 0 then it's easier... you just skip over device 0 and pass the thread switch to use devices after 0:

ethminer -G --opencl-device 1 -t 3

will use devices 1,2,3



--no-precompute doesn't work on second instance! It truing to (generate or use) the DAG.



ethminer -G --opencl-device 1 -t 3 still doesn't work cause it mine on 2 cards but when finding the share it stuck. And second time i run it it shows error.

Mining eth doesn't look to promising, does it?

I'm just testing new software and coin wallets. So this coin with ugly wallet like xmr (no, xmr at least accept proper copy paste in console unlike eth) and strange miner. Don't know what to say.

Which --opencl-device n i didn't set it mine only one 290 from 3 in the system. If i set only -G, it stuck with warning about 6540 out of memory.  

If i type in .bat like this it mine only one card also. So it's a bug or something...

ethminer -G --opencl-device 0
ethminer -G --opencl-device 1
ethminer -G --opencl-device 2

Ha ha, what a miner. Make 3 folders with opencl-device 1 opencl-device 2 opencl-device 3 flags in .bat Run first is ok, run second it try use 6450 and crash because of out of memory (of course it will crash) run third it crash trying use 6450. Very nice... And --list-devices do not work in windows. But via cgminer i know what are my devices. I'm disappointed.

With --opencl-device 0 you can select which GPU you want to use.
So your .bat file would look like this (if you are solo mining)
ethminer -G --opencl-device 0
ethminer -G --opencl-device 1
ethminer -G --opencl-device 2

ethminer -F http://192.168.1.1:8546/miner/8/gpu-rig4 -G --opencl-device 1
ethminer -F http://192.168.1.1:8546/miner/8/gpu-rig4 -G --opencl-device 2
ethminer -F http://192.168.1.1:8546/miner/8/gpu-rig4 -G --opencl-device 3

Doesn't work, only first 290.

Actually i know how to solve this issue, make 3 folders and 3 .bat but looks ugly, isn't ?

I'd like to know how to list devices so we know what we are working with.

--list-devices
--print-devices

do not work in windows.

Yeah, i want to know also

See what I am trying to accomplish is ethminer cpu and gpu at the same time but if I run one and then the other, I get a DAG error and app crash. Like DAG is trying to be shared and cannot be shared.

uhg this is frustrating.

Is there a cmd to print-devices from a .bat file?

I see that there is a --print-devices for linux.

How to choose only 3 GPU from 4 in ethminer cause the first one is a 6450 and the last three 290. Why i can't just type opencl-device 1,2,3 or something ? What the hell is -t 3 it just trying mine on all cards or only one if opencl_device 1 was chosen.
