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 someone help me out with some test cases? I have three different generations of AMD chips, no Intel. While there is code that successfully uses sse4, I personally do not see a improvement with what I have. Intel may be a different story? The largest problem with increasing the speed, with what I have to test, is size. There is much code and initialization data. At any rate, I for the most part am modifying code originally designed to work fast on considerably larger data. The SSE4 code does a expensive startup and finish, just to do one round. The original post may easily be faster until that is worked on. It's still really close, but is faster.

Anyone that feel like being a guanine pig, run the "makeprof.sh" script and send me the "a.txt" that it produces. It'll just time the hash function and list the cpu used. It could would be greatly appreciated.

Oh, and the CHEAT options is disabled by default, it's a great boost for some old processors that I should just retire. Not so good most of the time.

Yeah, i asked the question for the same reason: payout problems. Also i couldnt figure out how to solo mining with minerd as it seems to be performing better.

Please say which pool you tried, for how long and maybe also include the address you mined with.
To solo mine, add this to your quarkcoin.conf:

Code:

rpcport=12345 (or whatever pleases you)
rpcuser=altsay
rpcpassword=strongpassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

Then start minerd like this: minerd.exe -a quark -o http://127.0.0.1:12345 -u altsay -p strongpassword

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

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.

I hope some services get setup using Quark coin soon. I really like how fast and smooth the transactions are with this coin compared to some others and want it to be succesful.

Hey guys, quick announcement!

I just posted my newest guide on VPS pool mining SecureCoins.

However, because SecureCoin and QuarkCoin use the same hash algorithm, you can just configure the script to mine at a QuarkCoin pool and you'll be good to go!

Thanks a lot.

The thing you are missing, as of right now, is that there is no GPU miner for Quarkcoin. As a result, everyone mines on a CPU, which maximises the profitability of a mining rig, as it is mining both, say, Litecoin, and Quarkcoin.

The alternative to this is Primecoin. Primecoin is starting to get very difficult to mine.

Right now it might be worth speculating on Quarkcoin by mining it, but how far down the line will it remain so. What's one or two more quarkcoins to your collection of thousands, better off speculating on another CPU coin by that point. The value of a coin won't increase until it becomes adopted. The problem with most of the coins being mined in the first 6 months is that you end up with a handful of people holding most of the coins. Less people holding coins less people to drive adoption and adoption is what ultimately dictates the value. I just can't believe anyone is going to be mining this coin in 6 months time.

At first after 6 months is expected something like 0.5% inflation which is block reward of 1 QRK forever and ever
and at second I believe in this coin - it has stable community, many new features which bitcoin doesnot have, it has webdiscussion, its own webpage, active developers, coins are traded already at 2 exchanges.
very interesting will be how price will react when blockreward halves.
I think this coin can easily increase in value and tenfold its price in just one week and keep the price level still rising - can you say it about bitcoin or litecoin??
And this coin is quite solid, it can be traded onky for btc, not for cheap ltc.
It may happen the same situation like on IFC - almost all coins are mined and price is still rising.

I'm interested in following the coin and I don't want to knock anybodies hard work, clearly a lot of effort has gone into this. I just don't see the unique properties of this coin being anywhere game changing enough to get enough people on board in only a few months.

What I don't understand about this coin is how it is expected to survive after everyone drops out a few weeks down the line? Unless the value skyrockets and surely that's unlikely, then why would anyone at all be mining in 6 months time? I guess I'm missing something here. Undecided
