About a 10% increase for me...

Any chance of a windows compiled version?

I removed now the big optimization, too much CPU dependent... Try now and PM me if you want again that 10%, I'll say to you what change on the code...



any chance of optimisations for Xeon E5450? when i get back home i have 28 of these waiting for some hashing

Try this version. I got a +10% with a i7. Some Xeon has the same improvement, same not. Let me know the improvement with your e5450. Send me a pm when u'll try.

Also, isn't heat (from a physics perspective) considered a by product, or mark of inefficiency? An incandescent lightbuld uses part of the energy input to make heat, which is inefficient. An LED light makes much less heat, and is much more efficient (as a measure of energy input vs light output).

Indeed, but all of the electricity used by a computer is turned into heat, there is no other type of energy output (if you ignore light from the screen and sound from the speakers).

As a Physics major I have to jump in here - not all of the energy used is turned into heat, in fact most isn't turned into heat at all. Heat is basically all of the wasted energy needed to run the computer. The rest of the wattage that isn't coming off as heat, the majority of the energy, is being used to do work. Basically flipping a bunch of transistors (switches) many times per second, spin hard drives and fans, etc. Heat is a waste byproduct of doing work in imperfect electrical circuits (ones with resistance, ie not a superconductor) - nothing more!

To the first question, yes it could be that it's a sign of inefficiency - but it could also be a sign that the mining software is not using the full potential of the cards. Wink

Sorry this is getting off topic, but I must disagree with that statement.  Exactly 100% of the electrical energy used by a computer is turned into heat.  All of it.  You can count the spinning hard drive as kinetic energy but this too is converted to heat too when it is powered off and spins down.  The useful work a computer performs is not a form of energy.  If the heat output does not equal the electrical energy input then your computer has broken the law of conservation of energy.

I second this notion, if you were to run a computer in a vacuum (or outer space) it would heat up continuously until it burned out. The energy is expelled 100% as heat on the other end and here on earth the heat is dissipated through oxygen (chip --- heat sink --- air (or water)). The lower temps were seeing mining dark is simply because the miner hasn't been optimized to use 100% capacity. Nothing more, nothing less.



Heat, vibration, light (led), sound - missed a few out.
Also the kinetic energy of a disk is not turned to heat by the computer's online processes.

"if you were to run a computer in a vacuum (or outer space) it would heat up continuously until it burned out."
If it sparked or developed a heat glow you would also be producing light. Also, are there any other wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation produced other than visible and infra-red ? Radio frequency ? Beta radiation ?

anybody have trouble with the mac wallet? after downloading and installing (dragging it to my applications folder) - it crashes right when i open the application, every time.

no problem at all
am on 10.8.5 …. did you download the last version ?

lol, difficult to mint IRL, don't you think?

Hehehe yes that what I was thinking. I was making some test and found this...
But not for the physycal one lol or with some water.. But when I think about anonymity... I think can be fun..

Am I misunderstanding something about the diff adjustments, or is something strange going on? It's jumping from the 150s into the 260s while the network hash rate barely moves. Unless the pool display of network hash rate is off of course.

Edited to add: I understand KGW, but it shouldn't make diff jump around that much if the network hash rate goes from (e.g.) 4.3GH to 4.7GH. Should it?

Which pool are you mining on? When I was on smalltimeminer, it used to jump around like that. I think it is a configuration glitch with the MPOS web site... If you are GPU mining, you can see the net difficulty in the miner, and that seems to be more accurate. I think KGW might cause MPOS to spas every now and then

I'm on coinmine.pl at the moment. I'll check the CGMiner output next time it happens, though if it's an MPOS glitch it also extends to the displayed difficulty for solved blocks. Hmmmm.

Maybe a BIG miner jumped on for a few, it's back down to 150's

Two more. That's it, I'm taking a break. Cool

XwBidPQVnGFEzqfJbTybS9gyXX2yu1JbfM


Love it, just ONE small change and we are going to use it!

Made the outer ring silver. If you can make us that with a transparent background, we are DONE!

And when we get the physical coins made I will send you one.


Agree !! Really nice...

I want one real too .... Roll Eyes

Me too!  That'd be so cool!


For the back of the physical coin we will need a design for that too! Who ever designs it will also get a physical coin free!

Max 7 colors, no gradients!

Darkcoin the only coin on the top #20 list that is on the rise! ALL OTHER COINS TOOK HITS.

I love this coin, but I still cannot figure how it's defying the wrath of btc right now. Oh well makes me happy regardless Smiley

Because it's the next BTC of course?

SAME error as YOU   Huh

Ack! I just tried compiling it on other machines, and I get



Ok, I fixed the remove, now you can compile. Expect 10% as before where to had it.

HammerHedd and  the others, if you have different machines and different behaviours, please send me a pm with a table like this:
Code:
  CPU  ------- v1.3  -------  new v1.3
i7-3770k-------459khs--------511khs
  

Some more interesting results. I really need to play with the 3770 in the other computer...

Code:
  CPU  -----------------------v1.3  -------  new v1.3
E5-2650 0 @ 2.00GHz---------45.52----------41.12
E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz--------47.08-----------fail
