Not all 280x can go up to 1190. i worked with 4 of them, and 1 of them only does 1130. The other 3 is strong (1225,1180,1206).

Anyone looking for efficient mining with the Summer coming; this is the Ticket.  Scrypt and scrypt-n clones will be killing GPU's left and right this summer.

I am bit busy trying to get this merge mining working atm

Would be nice to know more about this. I am not aware of any other coins using BLAKE-256. Is there something in the works you could tell us about?

The best block I have found so far came yesterday! :-) Keep mining.

Best share: 2.09M

yes please, share your .config or .bat setting

Sure thing - I use this same config (but scrypt instead of blake256 algorithm, and "xintensity 4" with kalroth's miner) to mine scrypt at 500 KH/s stable, very good config. I am not undervolted, so I suspect that is what allows me to push the clock over 1150 and still be stable (this is how I achieve the high hash rates).

If you are using 7970/280x cards you can go up to 1190 without much problems

I know quite a few people use reddit I have just not had time to look at it yet any help with raising awareness for Blakecoin is always welcome  Grin

settings look good couple of things to point out

"lookup-gap" : "2",
not used by blake-256 kernel

"thread-concurrency" : "8193",
not used by blake-256 kernel

"gpu-memclock" : "1498",
blake does not use much ram so get the ram clocks lower(300-600) for better power usage and maybe a higher core clock

"worksize" : "256",
with newer ati drivers and latest 7 series or better (R9,R8,R7) cards try a odd worksize 255 reports of better share rate on pools WU/m (does not work for older 5/6 series)

"scan-time" : "1",
could reduce this and get less polling 30 for pools works well for me

also note:

"vectors" : "1",
this is always 1 its due to the way kr105 has modded cgminer so just creates display bugs if you use anything but 1
Thank you for the input, I'll play with memclock and see if I can raise the core clock more.


By the way, I'm trying to get a discussion going on reddit, I think BLC needs a subreddit and some marketing initiative to get the ball rolling on people adopting / learning about it.

I am also curious in cudaminer (blake-256 version ) and the Nvidia GTX 750 Ti, can be the perfect combination  Grin

Last night I was enlightened by someone about Blakecoin and the future potential of the blake256 algorithm, so I've switched my mining rig to full time blc! Just wanted to report my hashrates for anybody with a similar setup looking for ball park numbers, I'm very impressed with the blake256 efficiency so far: high hash rates, low temps. I'm using the kR105 cgminer and running BAMT 1.5.2, it was actually quite easy to switch from scrypt to blake256 - I'm impressed.

I have 4x Gigabyte R9 270s:

I'll be happy to share my config if anybody with 270s is interested, just ask.

I just got the Cairnsmore1 from a friend.
Please help me to run it on Blake-256 ?

Which controller bitstream did your friend have loaded?

I'd love to mine BLC on my nvidia card with some sort of cudaminer. For us with nvidia cards, cgminer does not yield acceptable results.
Is it even possible to mine BLC with CUDA? Because if not, that might be the reason why no cudaminer exists yet...

working on a blake implementation in cudaminer.

Right now it's there in the github code but it needs much optimization.


Awesome thanks for working on adding blake to your excellent cudaminer  Grin

The BLC banner is now up on pxlcoin.com! Thanks to everyone who contributed! Unfortunately the site admin did not follow my instructions for where to place the image exactly, but I guess its still a good spot. Also the admin would not let me combine the adspace dbt1033 wanted to donate, so if u gave him blc for that pls talk to him about getting it back. Its too bad we weren't able to make the image ultra large by reusing dbt1033 space, but at least BLC still has one of the largest images Smiley

Thanks for working on this and to everyone who contributed looks great  Grin

How is that BLC is not on moon already? It's innovative, it's easier to mine (no ram needed --> less heat).


I agree but I have far from given up  Cool

currently working on a merge mine pool for BLC and others Blake-256 based coins which should be due soon

I am also working in collaboration with other coin devs to bring new merged coins and other services and my game dev team has yet to go public on our first MMO title Cheesy

2014 will be the year of the Blake-256 algorithm one way or another, any support, good wishes or help with marketing BLC is always welcome  Grin
