Topic: [ANN] Ħ [HODL] 5% Interest. No Staking Req. Term Deposits 10%. Solo Mining. - page 85. (Read 472948 times)

@DisasterFaster Ty, I'll take a look at that.  I upgraded the wallet on a dual Xeon box today and I'm getting the same hanging app issues without even touching mining.  I swear I wonder if it has anything to do with my wallet file as it certainly seems to be choking on something.  In any case I can't use the wallet like this and I definitely can't solo mine like this.  I'll be happy to contribute whatever info I can about my environments.

fyi, I have an Intel core i7, AMD, and Xeon environments to test with.  All Windows 10 Pro.

aye.

So there was a 30,000 HODL bounty for the optimized code - I think it's 90% there - we've still got crashes on some chips using the code but I think most users are seeing much better solo mining results now, so I want to reach closure on it.

Both Optiminer and Fuzz contributed to it, so I propose to split the bounty 50/50. All those in favour say aye.

I was not intending to compare the performance of the i7 vs the AMD processors.  I mentioned the performance of the i7 to try to give some insight into the performance of that machine and yet note the freezing on the i7 regardless of whether mining was enabled or not.  I did actually try using genproclimit=1 on the i7 but again the wallet (and nothing else on the machine) is freezing up regardless of mining on/off.

On the AMD, I was unable to get a hash reading while 3.0 was installed because the wallet crashed every time mining was engaged so thus far I don't have anything to compare to the 78h/s on 2.0 on the AMD.  I suppose the next thing I'll try is genproclimit on that one with another fresh install of 3.0.

In general though, if I have to turn off the optimizations (and perhaps limit the threads) to make it work then there really is no point in solo mining with the 3.0 wallet.  I'll get much better performance simply staying with the Optiminer pool (assuming it stays online after the switch).  I would very much like to be able to solo mine both to support network diversity and to have a backup option when/if a pool goes down.

Speaking of the optiminer pool, I've been able to successfully mine with the pool (which is certainly using the optimizations) with both machines without freezing up the machines.

Am I really the only one seeing issues with the 3.0 wallet?

Alrighty, the later I read just before and understand what's happened regarding that.

once the fork block is hit, there will be no auto-locking of newly mined coins from that point on.  You can still choose to lock the up if you want to.
also, your HOdlings window is now sortable. 
also, a bug was fixed concerning interest being continuously earned by balances that have matured.  I'll let Freetrade explain that one.

You could try switching the optimizations off -

optimineraes=0 and optimineravx2=0

are you comparing 78h/s x1 on v2 against 60h/s x 4 on the new machine? You might just be seeing better performance taking up more cpu. you could try just running on 1 or 2 processors - genproclimit=1
