I'm excited to be back to work on our stratum mining pool. At first glance everything appeared to be working. However after running for a while longer I noticed in increasingly terrible rate of invalid shares. Restarting the miner seems to do the trick but of course we don't want to require such frequent restarts!

I'll look into that. Are you willing to test debug versions of miner to help diagnose the problem? thanks!

nonce-pool, do you all see any similar problems?

I'm having only 2% to 3% rejects on nonce-pool, but my ch/s are much lower than yours, don't know if it has something to do.

Hi Gatra & Co.

I'm excited to be back to work on our stratum mining pool. At first glance everything appeared to be working. However after running for a while longer I noticed in increasingly terrible rate of invalid shares. Restarting the miner seems to do the trick but of course we don't want to require such frequent restarts!

We're running gatra's fast stratum miner and stratum pool. In some early runs we had vardiff enabled and saw the server re-target client difficulty. The xptminer didn't seem happy about that so we disabled it and still have poor performance. Is anyone else using the new stratum xptminer and open source stratum miner?

nonce-pool, do you all see any similar problems?

Note the miner runtime in the brackets below. Computer C is much faster but it also degrades to a terrible rejection ratio

Managed to get gatra's stratum miner https://github.com/gatra/fastrie to compile fairly easily on an arm based odroidU2 (1.7Ghz ARM Cortex-A9 Quad Core) http://hardkernel.com/main/products/prdt_info.php?g_code=G135341370451 running ubuntu 14.04, it's slow @ ~0.010-0.015 4ch/s but submits good shares to the pool! quite fun!

Amazon micro instances are severely CPU throttled IME, something like 1/4 ECU when the CPU usage isn't in short spikes (the micro is way overpriced IMHO, only good for the free trial)
So that means 6.4 GHz worth of ARM gives 7.2 sh/h, while 0.25 GHz of x86 gives 1.15 sh/h unless I messed up my numbers Smiley

Any update this week Gatra?

hi! I've been away a couple of days. Still debugging the miner's windows issue: I'm almost sure it's a race condition. After that I'll try to check the android wallet with the api

nice work, thanks for effort.
Just started another arm miner / old dga's - to see the difference and help the network a bit ...
difficulty now 1388

I would be interested in the 4ch/s numbers you get with the same hardware.

Hate to gloat, but I got another block; a month of miner power bills paid for (on paper at least).

Is there a way to set up Riecoin mining as a service, so that nothing shows in the taskbar and no different screens appear at computer startup?  When I restart my computer repair business I may sneakily install it on people's computers so they can mine for me, without the hassle of having to explain it to them.   It wouldn't be worth the effort.

Ah, I probably won't bother, as Riecoin is just another crapcoin that will never amount to anything profitable for me, and is thereby useless.

But I'd like to know the details of how to do it on Windows 7 and  8 computers.

... and there goes "5 times faster to go" Wink


I only needed 2.5 times faster for break even when I wrote that  Smiley (now its over 4 times with price drop).

I've only had time in the past few weeks to spend time on incremental improvements and not the bigger (higher risk) changes I want to implement.  While a doubling of mining performance was possible a quadrupling is probably out of reach with my current code base.  A 4 times gain with my hardware is what is needed at the current price.

As I mentioned previously, people are mining at a loss (botnet/work computers) or have a private super miner (and a super miner is possible).  Competing against a (close to) zero cost miner is impossible.

I intend to keep working on the miner, but it is (and always will be) a side project.

diff = 1400, but still not easy to mine on arm - no luck yet with bsunau7's miner.
running happily for a week or so, keep mining on !


I've put a new one up, ~5% faster, mostly in the setup phase.  Also GCC has put "sub-optimal" code in some of the loops, gcc4.9 might do a better job as would some hand crafted ASM code, neither of which fill me with joy.
