can anyone comment on what hashrate to expect from a i7 8700k (stock speeds) with the cpuminer-balloon ? mine seems a bit low @ ~600h/s. thanks!

by connecting all CPUs You have on disposition to the same wallet address You can make great numbers
it depends only how many CPUs do You have ;-)

U can use this. Its is very basic, but it helps.

Poo.Deft.Host is not showing how much I made .... Can this be fixed ?

congratulations on your new project, looks very interesting

### CWI PYROXENE (theMINE) - DEFT

Hi All ...

For the last two days, only a day after we opened the pool, we had an attacker send false shares and flood our pool, making almost impossible to mine at Pyroxene - Deft.

We have located the IP, which came from China, and since have locked the account and banned the IP.

We have decided that it is fair and NOT unjust to have a ZERO TOLERANCE policy placed on the pool due to it's small hashrate and the number of people mining there. So if this happens again, we will not notify, we will just block and contend with it as we see fit, including ANY and ALL of the funds that the attacker may accrue towards his/her account.

Pyroxene - DEFT is now open again for mining, and we are working on a number contingencies to mitigate such foul behaviour again.

We also would like to acknowledge that MOST of the miners and users are fair in use and mine with honest intentions, so if there are any questions, please ask and we will endeavour to ensure that we answer as promptly as possible.

Pyroxene (theMINE) main page is located here - http://pyroxene.chainworksindustries.com/
Pyroxene - DEFT is located here - http://pyroxene.chainworksindustries.com/deft/

Remember - the more miners, the more chance of solving blocks, and the more decentralized the mining becomes. As always, if there are any issues, please notify us via the Pyroxene Thread, here, or via the CWI-Slack.

Thanks,

Any Linux binaries available? I know with Argon2 coins, the Linux binaries often perform better than Windows.

Nowadays what makes a coin important isn't what hashing algorithm it uses, but its purpose. Is there any purpose other than to show off a new algo?

at the moment it is all cpu. i realise that to anyone skeptical, 56kh might look like a lot, but in reality it is either a set of physical/virtual servers working as a single user.

i have started working on an implementation for gpu, but this is more to offload the hashing algorithm so it doesnt bog down the user's machine, as it won't hold a great deal of advantage over cpu due to the way the hashing works.

i'm currently separating balloon from it's dependency on the openssl library (sha, evp and aes functions); i'm about 1/3 of the way through, once it is independent, i will attempt an opencl kernel. however this is all being communicated clearly and will be publically released, not a private or 'for sale' miner.

balloon hashing is quite a unique and versatile hashing algorithm, not to mention being the first implementation of it; instead of the same algorithm being copy and pasted as we seem to find quite regularly these days. in addition to the firm yet forgiving dual_kgw3 retargeting algorithm, the coin itself has quite a small supply; which will take a small while to reach its full reward as to ensure a stable value without 'instaminers' disrupting the market.

the biggest point i'm trying to make here is the following.. i've been cryptoprogramming for 3-4 years now, yet in this time i havent released my own currency; the work has always been for others. now that i have some time to put the requisite effort into my own cryptocurrency, im able to do this without the pressure of deadlines and can simply enjoy the fruition of my work. in my mind this will translate directly into a usable coin that will retain value in times to come; not to mention being done for enjoyments sake, not profit.

a roadmap isn't out of the question - but not at the moment. things like an electrum wallet, mobile wallet are definitely going to happen in the future; lets see how the currency is received by the public first..

Somebody is mining with 56 KH/s. Is it really using CPU? I am curious somebody is using GPU rigs to mine this coin. Please enlight me...

interesting phrasing; but i'll let that one pass as i had already uploaded it a few hours previous (https://github.com/deftchain/multi-hashing-balloon).. enjoy 

The hash module is already there in git ...

https://github.com/deftchain/balloon_hash - all you have to do is compile the module into the OS. Though NOMP and Node based systems I am personally unsure of how to implement, as I can see almost all Python Hash Modules can be imported into almost all stratum implementations.

#crysx

Do you plan to release the NOMP module or the source for the pool that has DEFT implemented since it is open source

Thanks buddy
Mining it on my laptop. So gonna use only 2 instead of 4 cores.

-t 2

How to limit cpu threads in cpu miner... Please advise. Want to set it to 2.
