Topic: [ANN][CACH] CACHeCoin released based on scrypt-jane - page 73. (Read 224425 times)

getprofitestimate after last nights N factor adjustment has created a 75% drop in profitability for me.

As I was updating my mining scripts and profitability calculations I stumbled on UTC and ended up with the same problem I was having with CACH, fortunately they're either more helpful in that thread, or they've been on a higher n factor for longer, so settings were easy to get from there, and made a WORLD of difference when I tried the same settings for CACH mining -

R9 280x -

Got me up to about 136 kh/s per 280x from the 75 or 80 or so I was getting when I was fumbling around with settings myself.

Well, I was mining at 330kh/s on my R9 280X at 1160/1500. Using
Now having reduced intensity to 11 I'm only getting 80kh/s. That about right?

Does anyone know where I can get a scrypt-jane miner with X-intensity or even raw intensity settings? I keep looking but I haven't found anything yet.

Nothings wrong per se.

I was just curious how long it will take difficulty to actually reflect the current hashrate?

For example Feb 13 estimated hashrate was around 65MH/s and difficulty was 10.11 with 17 coins/block. (http://stats.cachecoin.org/charts.)

Today estimated hashrate from getmininginfo is 66MH and a difficulty of 53 with 12.8 coins/block

The difficulty has been dropping 10-12 per day since 500MH/s has dropped from the network.

Block time seems to be around 14.9 minutes in the past 16 hours so that aspect seems correct.

All is well regarding the protocol and network however, the people still mining the coin are "holding the bag" to solve blocks while difficulty adjusts back down for several days to a week. You are basically mining at ~75% the efficiency or less you were prior to the hashrate spike.

Am I incorrect with this data?

If we continually see huge increases in hash once things settle back down I feel like it hurts the long term viability of the coin somewhat.

Take this as an example. There was obviously a huge pump of the coin in terms of hash and difficulty the last few days. There is now around 1 week of less efficient or less profitable mining to be done before we're back to "normal". IF there is another huge pump what is the incentive to stick it out if the coin can be "easily" manipulated with profitability ebbing and flowing.

Isn't the purpose of this coins difficulty calculations to make mining as evenly profitable and fair at all times?

Should the difficulty deltas be adjusted slightly so the difficulty is more responsive to huge spikes in hashrate as well as huge drops hence making it more resilient to pump and dump miners?

How many prior blocks are referenced with calculating next difficulty? Or is there a cap on the net change in difficulty per block if it is recalculated every block.

Is there anywhere more information is available regarding block reward and difficulty adjustments for this coin?

Thanks for taking the time to read and answer.

I'm not trying to bash the coin, I just want to understand how it works under the hood a bit better.

This is my first jane coin, so this n factor change thing is new to me.  I was spewing hardware errors when I switched my miners over to cache this morning, so I've dropped the intensity, they're running cleanly now at about 1/4 the hashing power or something (which is making it pointless to mine cache at all), but they seem very underutilized - the temps are very low.  I'm suspect I can get more out of them if I tweak things other than intensity, but I'm not about to spend a half a day doing that when I'm sure people have seen this before and can save me a lot of time ... is there a general guide/rule of thumb for what to tweak other than just intensity when there is an n factor change on a jane coin?  I don't expect to see the same hashrate, obviously, but my GPUs sitting there bored and cool can't be optimal.


Cheers.

these were my setting for last N factor new yeidling HW errors !

Does anyone have Settings for R9 290's for the new N Factor ... i am currently away on business and access my miners remotely with TEAM VIEWER .   Therefore I can't really test a bunch of settings ... I am currrently getting Hardware errors .. I set my intensity as low as 13 and was still getting some ! 

Any help would be much appreciated from others mining with R9 290's

Cheers,
