Topic: [ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net - page 184. (Read 409641 times)

XPM needs a good miner. Guess the problem with it is sieving is too fast with the current one. Blakecoin really needs a mining pool to offset the high diff, then mining will be better then solo. You might as well include Blakecoin with Smelter, just put an announcement that it has royalty fees in it.

Yes, Smelter is in the work. With current rate and approaching end of Quark generation there is no much sense to improve Quark kernel, next release will come with minor kernel tweaks, reduced royalty rate and improved (I hope) host code. I'm hunting for Primecoin and want everything to be ready for release when that thing finally start work
Back to the topic - Blakecoin will not be put into Smelter or be included sometime very, very later w/o mining royalty. Potential conflict of interest and lack of time

Ok, sounds great. Are you still developing the Quark miner also?

For the sake of exact wording of your offer and for the sake of russian tax laws! Not a big difference, the kernel is yours, but it was rather "copyright transfer", not "work for hire". BTW, in the software world, if you pay not for result but for time spent that time tend to become infinite

It's not sha256 but is very similar, the memory is almost unused.

High stales count was caused by my paranoia I made miner skip target filtering and submit every 1-diff share. Next release will filter  shares properly.

EDIT:
Disregard the line "(c) 2013, smolen" in blakecoin-reaper.cl, it should be "(c) Vorksholk" or whatever Vorksholk decide it to be. For my excuse, I still take all that crypto stuff as a hobby, not as a business

Finally mined 25 BLC @ 99.32% stale @ 1.097GH/s on the 5870.

I havn't gotten a new block in the past 6 hrs oddly my last 3 blocks have not yet completely confirmed either no change in the number of conformations in the last 2 hrs

because the diff is large

I'm still getting 100% stales at 1.034GH/s with 0% GPU errors. Haven't got anything yet with the HD 5870.

Difficulty over 5000!

I'm running 99.93% stale the .07% are found blocks. ~15,0000 shares completed

Ok, I'll use 8227 as stated in the OP. I'm assuming that the stale are because of the getwork network, right?

lower your memory clock while mining blakes!

Well thanx to smolen for taken the job as well then

Well i did not oc mine but this one is a Gh edition as well however for power usage
I had another one but that died a few weeks ago, i was impatient and could not find the bill so i threw it away, i alos sold a few gpu's since they all where no longer paying off in mining.

At present i am tempted to switch it back to 900 Mhz mode because i pay 0.23 Euro Kw/h in us dollars thats 0.32 per Kw/h

At 1000 Mhz i get ofcourse faster shares processing but as anyone can understand the cost of letting this power draining monster run constant will make a huge dent in my wallet when the bill arrives next year in july ....

Our system works different from most countries i know, we pay upfront a set amount each month which is based and previous years usage.  So in my case i pay 345 euro a month upfront this is kinda high but then again i used to have a butload of graphics cards running in the paste. So 342 x 12 months makes 4104 euro.

Last year i had to pay 1600 euro extra on top of the 4104 euro because of 7 months gpu mining with 4 machines.
Ofcourse this amount is not only electra but includes also gas for the heating and cooking and ofcourse the biggest amount is for all the taxes added by government.

So far the progress on mining goes, I got 2 block in the hours it has ran since you released this reaper
And that made me think would it be possible to run the 64 bit reaper as well  ?
I sure would like to test if it does have any effect on the mining speed, with scrypt mining it did.
Not sure it will do anything for blake ..

I still think some people are running asics on blake, they should know its useless.
 

Thanks I didn't make the miner however, I just paid smolen to cover the time it would take him to do it.

On my 7970s 28 aggression seems to work best, though mine are XFX GHz edition. They are at a slight overclock.

Any RPC port will work, although it has to be the same one for the miner and for blakecoin (set in AppData/Blakecoin/blakecoin.conf if on Windows...)

it is whatever you set it in the blakecoin.conf in your data directory, in the protocol.h the ports are set as testnet 18773 : main 8773 but this value is overridden by the rpcport=8772 in the wallet conf file hope that explains any differences you see  

just make sure they match what you are using in the miner conf 

Thanks for the awesome work Vorksholk


However some are tempted to overclock their gpu, i think psuhing up the memory does not make any difference
If the coin is a true sha256 you could in fact do with memory as low as 300 Mhz.
I must warn though about this memory speeds because several newer models do not like changing the speed lower then the core speed, in my case the 7970 sapphire dual x does run fine at 1000 Mhz core and 300 Mhz on memory

I have been playing alot with the parameters of reaper but i do not see any significant change in performance in any setting the most plain setting seems to give the best result.
But its hard to tell since we are not able to see the hash speed at the program
And the numbers go all over the place with different settings, mostly ending up showing around 80000 Kh on my card
It says 2.05 Gh at the first number but i wonder if thats a real performance of this card with only 22 aggr.
I will post the shares processed after each 1000 seconds

On the 5870 I'm running, work size of either 64 or 128 work the same. What's the correct RPC port? The OP says 8227. The miner has 8984.

ok work

Guess I'm just lucky found another one an hour ago 11,500 shares 8 blocks 99.93% Stale



one only took 3 min
