I found a block today on an overclocked Asus GTX 970 (4GB memory). Running the newer miner with the -s 0.2 and -c 1 set it is reaching 450 MH/s.

When running this I noticed it only uses 70% GPU. Of course I am not using a "custom coded" miner so for kicks launched the same instance 3 times and the collective hashrate looks higher than if I was running individually 250/244/72 MH for each. 566 MH/s total and GPU use goes to 90% I am not sure if this is more effective or not but will run overnight and see what happens.

HI guy
New bat file
Set up
Sia_GPU-Miner.exe -s 0.2 -c 1

Is that what?

Thank you

We're building a platform called 'Sunfish' which will make sharing and tagging files a lot easier. The early version of that will be ready in July.

Sunfish is going to be an open source file tracker, anybody is going to be able to run their own sunfish server, and the GUI will have support for pointing at custom sunfish instances.

Would it be possible to put sunfish into the wallet and build it using sia so it too is decentralized? Otherwise centralized file trackers could lead to possible censorship.

The wallet should be in the home folder, as with all the other coins.
The program folder is another thing altogether.
This is true for most windows and Linux programs in general, and how all the OSes I know are structured.

Question:
Would you rather have the wallet go into your home (C:/Users/You/.hidden/Sia) folder, or do you like it with the executable? Either way we're going to be adding a siac call (and perhaps a memo to the 'about' page) that tells you where your wallet.dat file is being kept. The big advantage to putting the wallet.dat in the home folder is that you don't have to fret if you delete the folder with the executable, and you don't have to worry about losing it when you upgrade.

We can do it either way, I'm curious what you guys think is best. I'm personally leaning towards the home folder because I don't want people to lose their coins. (As an alternative, we could put a backup in the install folder, and keep the primary next to the executable)

I like the home folder option. With this option I don't need to worry about updating or losing my wallet or blockchain (assuming blockchain is there too) every time when updating the client. When blockchain gets bigger in the future, it could take long time to download.

The assumption is that you would update by running an updater, which wouldn't overwrite your wallet.dat or blockchain.
Still, it would be easy for an uninformed user to accidentally wipe out their wallet.dat.
I think automatically backing up the wallet.dat to another location is a good compromise.

(The advantage of keeping the wallet.dat alongside the executable is that it makes Sia completely portable).

I'm finding ~2 blocks per day @ 330 MH/s. Maybe I've been getting lucky.

I think the majority of the hashrate is from people who are mining using less than 1GH/s. Lots of people getting blocks here-and-there. Only a few people are pulling more than a handful of blocks a day, and I don't think they're getting more than 20 or 30 each (someone may confirm or deny this).

Could someone share what are the chances hitting a block with 400MH/s

FYI,
after 2.5 days of mining on Radeons at 425 MH and NOT seeing anymore confirmed coins come in to any rigs after more than 24 hrs, I decided to shut 2 rigs down in my shed because of heat etc.. and electric bill!

Now this morning I got up and went out and turned on those 2 rigs to check wallet, only to find I HAD HIT a block on my 7950 miner, so Its back up and running lol. Grin

I would say with Radeons, probably going to be lucky to hit a block per day at your hashrate based on my experience.

I am dabbling with an old GeForce GT620, NVidia card I had lying around. Not sure if this card is capable of hashing or not? Anyone know if it will mine this coin?

PS: Note, the mining software all along had shown sometimes 2,500 blocks varies, mined at times on all machines,,, so I only really know I hit one 24 hours after the fact when I see a payout Wink

So who is getting those blocks then? I can see blocks are keep coming as sia wallet suggests.Me too getting no blocks from like 2 days.........
425 MH/s from one card?

So... how do you get more than 110mhs ?... still a secret ?

Nvidia gtx 970 with latest posted miner in the thread , but I can confirm positive work when I hit a block...

At the moment I think you have decent odds. I found a block a few hours ago with 450 MH/s. I will be happy if 1/day keeps up.

Yeah , I have a rig and can use only one card of it , pleasures of mining...

Why different addresses in sia wallet and checking http://127.0.0.1:9980/miner/status? Normally this?

When you view your wallet, it generates a new address that you can use to receive money. The wallet is able to generate new addresses on demand.
When the miner runs, it asks the wallet to generate a new address for it to "mine into." So even though the addresses are different, they both point to the same wallet.

In addition to copy & paste being broken, GUI wallet on OSX showing "Estimated Price Per GB: 858993466.21141 KS"

Wallet copy and paste is not broke, if that what you are referring to?

On windows:
Use control-c to copy and control-v to paste when in wallet, when transferring Sia etc.

Not sure on osx

Yes my friend. Does not work on OSX is what I said.

10-4

OSX is broke lol Wink

For others with windows... its working.

Cool man. Hope they fix it soon!
