Topic: [ANN][Groestl/MyriadGroestl] Pool closed - page 2. (Read 37023 times)

i just pointed my GPU to boostpool with BTC as payout

stats page with blocks found would be nice so we can see if hashrate in the pool is enough to find block

i was mining at DGB cryptohunger with hashrate of 13 Mh/s
now in Boostpool it is 363 Kh/s which is 36 times slower, is that normal?

edit: nevermind, with GRS algo i was 7.8 Mh/s which is about 20x of hash now like you mentioned

Note: boostpool.com with auto payouts in BTC and GRS is currently in Beta (official release date: 22 September). No exchange fee until 22 September and BTC payouts are allowed (just use your BTC address to log in instead of GRS address). Details: boostpool.com

Hi!

I don't have 280X unfortunately, but looks like you are not too far from the optimal performance.

Previous reports stated that 280X is about 70%-80% of R9 290 and my R9 290 is 34MHs.

I believe Windows with latest AMD drivers gives the best performance.

Other users mining with R9 280X, could you please comment on your hashrate?

Thanks

DigiByte groestl-myriad stratum is now operational on port 60005. Hop in!

Update: there were some problems with auto payouts, probably fixed now. I'll be monitoring this. See https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.8629469

Special offer for DOKDO miners... 2X more DOKDO per day.

What to do: point your grs-sgminer 1.4 to stratum+tcp://boostpool.com:3333.
Use your DOKDO wallet as login. Use your email as password.
Start mining and make sure you are getting "accepted" shares in sgminer.

I will pay you 2 times more in DOKDO than you were receiving currently for your hashrate.

If you are not sure about this, or think it is a scam - please email me at [email protected] and I'll pay you 100% before you even start mining at boostpool and then another 100% next day.

PS: Digibyte mining is coming soon to port 60005. I've already set everything up, but do not mine yet! We are waiting for block 145,000. See: http://insight.dgb.cryptopoolmining.com/ for countdown. It will probably be quite profitable to mine it for a few hours when difficulty is low.

Thanks

Guys mining GRS and using grs-sgminer 1.4...

I have a proposal for you:

I am starting a multipool project, see http://boostpool.com/.
The multipool is selecting the most profitable coin using Groestl or GroestlMyriad algo (mostly Saffroncoin and Myriadcoin currently) and mines it.
During the day, all mined coins are exchanged into BTC and GRS are bought for this amount.
Then, once a day, the GRS are paid to miners.

I am still developing the frontend, where you'll be able to see your per-worker hashrate, daily payouts, etc.
Right now you can't see anything at all.
So I'm starting it as a Beta (since the mining part is working just fine). If you feel adventurous, I can guarantee you 50% more GRS per day than if you were mining straight GRS. My today's GRS profit was about 3X more than if mining straight GRS.

It might be profitable if you are mining other Groestl-algo coins, like DMD or DOKDO. But do your calculations yourself.

Any questions - let me know...



PS: If you are mining Myriad or Saffron, don't switch to multipool! You'll get less profit.

Thanks

Now you can see your payouts history in http://cryptohunger.com/stats/

Nothing fancy, just a CSV file. I'm thinking of adding a nicer HTML version of it showing your current hashrate and last 10 payouts (with most recent ones on top).

PS: If something is not working correctly, please PM.

Thanks

Hi!

Thank you for this information. I compile sgminer.exe myself on my computer, I do not think it is infected. But I can do a clean windows install in VMWare and try compiling there.

Could you let me know the name of the Antivirus Software, that doesn't "like" grs-sgminer?

I checked the distribution package online and the results are quite positive: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/df92dc372f8d3b18564a1417b04a1ad4d4eef93ac55d29b8419a3c306468fa02/analysis/



There are 3 "bitcoin-miner" reports, but that's how it should be. Cause the application is actually doing exactly that: mining.

> the opening screen displays "sgminer" then closes
It is supposed to display some warning text before closing.
Could you start sgminer from command prompt and provide the text details?

Thanks

Check your anti virus quarantine.

when starting the new version with the assumption ur config is json, the opening screen displays "sgminer" then closes. this is a indication that ur av has seen sgminer.exe as a threat. I temp disable av to start and enable after it's running. I could be off base but this seems to be happening more often. av says less then five users have run this program "SGMINER.EXE" .this makes an assumption that if only a few are using it it is a potential threat. I chose to override it's false quarantine. at least for now.

Hi!

Please provide more info (here or via personal message).
What operating system, what error does the app show, what videocard.

Thanks

I tried the new vertion but but all it does is disappear after a second   am using 1.3.1 and it does works good but the new vertion wont work??

1+

Atheistcoin and Trinitycoin removed (low exchange volume and no miners on the pool)

DigiByte mining will be added as soon as block 145,000 hits on their blockchain.

ps. Great job on v.1.4.0! Thank you!
Edit: Actually, people are having problems with standard kernel on v 1.4.0 (shares not getting accepted).
       For the time being, we reverted back to v1.3.1. Will post more info when we investigate.
       Thanks.

Near term plans:

1) Enrich http://cryptohunger.com:81/tbs with information on coin difficulty, best exchange rate, profitability [possibly also draw nice graphs in http://cryptohunger.com:81/stats]
2) Payout logs. Yes, many people asked for it and I kept saying that NOMP pools doesn't have this functionality. I think that official NOMP is not going to get this functionality any time soon. So I am going to write it myself. I'm not promising fancy looks, probably just plain text for now.

Both of the above will be open source additions to NOMP.
If you are interested in helping achieve 1) and 2) and you are a JavaScript programmer, please let me know. Perhaps we can settle on some BTC bounty (I'm not a JS programmer, so it'll take longer for me to do it on my own and having help would be great).

Version 1.4.0 is out.

Download from: https://github.com/srcxxx/grs-sgminer/releases/download/1.4.0/grs-sgminer1_4_0.zip

* switch between Groestlcoin and Myriadcoin-groestl on the fly without restarding the miner
* 5% more hashrate in optimized kernel

Please keep your existing grs-sgminer 1.3.X just in case. There were quite a few changes and I hope I haven't screwed up anything.

If you have any problems, like crashing - please PM or post here.
If you don't have any problems - please post to this thread and let us know if it works faster (or not).
If not - you can still use prior version of grs-sgminer like 1.3, but of course I'd like to optimize the kernel so that it is always faster. And your feedback is very important here.



* I'm getting 20.5MH/s on groestl and 34.2MH/s on myriad-groestl [R9 290 TriX]. Previously I had 19.8MH/s and 32.9MH/s respectively on same hardware. I used exampleGrs.bat and exampleMyr.bat (included in .zip) in the speed tests.

* Looks like increasing the GPU core speed actually decreases the hashrate, I'll do some more tests and post the results.



I did some measurements with a watt-meter on my rig.
Two R9 290 TriX, Windows 7, Pentium G3220, SSD.

Idle:                           80 watt
exampleGrs.bat:            573 watt (20.45 Mhs) 246.5W per card; 12.05 watt per MHs
exampleGrsSlow.bat:      523 watt (16.67 Mhs) 221.5W per card; 13.28 watt per MHs
exampleMyr.bat:           580 watt (34.2 Mhs) 250.0W per card; 7.30 watt per MHs
exampleMyrSlow.bat:     508 watt (27.7 Mhs) 214.0W per card; 7.72 watt per MHs

Results show that optimized kernels use less watts per each megahash.
So if you don't want to switch to optimized kernels because they make more heat, just downclock your GPU so that it uses the same amount of electricity (while providing you with more megahashes).

THANK YOU!

JoinCoin pool is now operational:

   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://cryptohunger.com:60004",
      "user" : "JakhxuRDsod2kVQiQXcf1k6JomvoTzUB9c",
      "pass" : "xxx",
      "poolname" : "JoinCoinOptimized"
   }

PS: Payouts work fine, I just did a test transfer of mined "J" to bittrex.

btw new coin which uses myr-grs algo https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annjoincoin-j-tor-anonymous-all-algorithm-mining-13-wallet-update-737405
And there are no pools for myrgrs yet

Well, on older sgminer (march-april) this paramter helps - no idea why
