I'm looking for currently fastest w64 and w32 executables that will work with the newest version of quarkcoin-qt.

I have looked throughout this forum thread and I have found one and am running it, but my speed on an i7 is only about 20khash/sec per thread.

Speed on a 7 year centrino laptop is 10 khash/sec per thread.

Use the miner you linked to, it's clean i guess. Gets me 90kH per core on an old Core2Duo. CPU miners are known to give false virus alerts.

I am using

quark-v2_w64\quark-v2_w64\minerd64_avx.exe -a quark -t 8 --userpass=user:pass

With the alternative miner I couldn't find the executables readily. Any pointers?

latest optimized version cpu miner for quark with sse4 support (win64).
(compiled from source https://github.com/uncle-bob/quarkcoin-cpuminer (without CHEAT option))
http://rghost.ru/48483424

This miner is a great for Intel processor. I have ~ 150KHs\core( was 115KHs\core) on my i5 3330.
And for AMD processor did not notice much of a difference.

Can anyone else verify this (approximate) hash rate? I'm trying to download the executable but the avast antivirus goes crazy, the file shows 0 size on the website link...

Just a bunch of red flags. Plus the hashing speed is about 7x higher than what I get on a 2 year old i7.

Please confirm if you are getting speeds anywhere near this.

yep and the price is going down and the block reward halving. Although the same story more or less for all alt coins it would seem. Best get some asics and get back to bitcoin

Just bought another 200K.

i agree with you! the cheap price is perfect to buy more quarks "i like!" many people got many quarks at begining and drop this now to this very cheap price and if i see a volume on cryptsy is not really big so i think many people hold qrk for furure like me!

i belive in quarks and i buy so much i can this i can advice to every one!

Price is down. Cry

i havent even looked tbh... what exchanges actually deal with quarkcoins?

ive sold off all my gfx cards but never bothered with the motherboards + cpus, etc.. doesnt use near as much electricity, either... so i figured what the hell

cryptsy and bter some others too i'm sure. quark price should really be a bit higher, i think over time it will rise.

Just mining my own business...

Has anyone compiled an OSX version of the quark minerd stand-alone miner? I don't have the environment to compile the source myself Sad

Thx!

What's the current pool in which payments occur? As I and some other people in this forum had some problems about the payouts.

On p2pools it will take a bit of time until payments begin, and they sometimes will stop and resume one or two hours later (at least with my measly 250kH). I think that's the intended behaviour, maybe Neisklar can inform us about it. If you got no payouts over a larger amount of time on a p2pool, tell us plz.

Also note that there seems to be a bug in the payout graph, e.g. i am on the payout list but my payout graph shows nothing.

It shouldn't take very long at all for payments to begin.... well, maybe at 250kh on the 100mh pool

I just looked at the source and the default settings are for it to gravitate towards 4 shares per minute... so, if you're on a pool that's at 100mh/s and are at 250kh, you would average 1 share every 100 minutes (I think the math is right on that).

there is this:

http://176.221.46.81:8372/static/ that is 131mhash, http://qrkpool.tk:8868/static/ that is 50mhash, and http://nogleg.com:8372/static/ that is 25mhash.. the 1st has a fee of 3%, the 2nd is 1%, and the 3rd is 0% (use the /fee option, i.e. 176.221.46.81:8372/fee)

i'm sure there are a bunch of others now too.

at 250kh you would be better off using a pool, not solo mining. use a smaller pool if you think the payout variation is too great

Thanks, any chance of an AVX version (if there is any speed boost)?

AVX? likely not any time soon. The code for both SSE4 and AVX requires a expensive startup and finish, just for one round. It's currently slower. The default is an assembly routine wrote by the original creators for the groestl hash.

The largest problem now is actually size. We're swapping between 6 different things all at once, all the time. Small changes in loop sizes make 30% differences in speed.

Out of the six; skein bmw and jh are already so much faster that it's a wast of time to improve them. Smaller however it important. It's slow to keep track of more stuff. Those three combined only use around 15% of the cpu, combined.

Next step personally is to shrink everything some more. New features should get worked in after that.
