I think mr. satoshi enjoys it as well

happy mining

I am working on a boost, but they decided to compile the beta.. you can try it and test it.

Your welcome. 
sp  Does that 53 release have added features over the release 53 I got a week ago.?
thx

it is well known it takes 5 minutes... not sure why bensam doesn't do it himself: 10min to learn 20 if is lazy, 5 min to code done...
he can even get the bounty for himself

Thanks

latest build from github is here:

I sent you 10 beers sp...don't get drunk. 
R53 working good 1.5 mh/s more over my 6 card 750ti rig compared to R43 on quark.

let's enjoy the sharkcoin (quark), and forget the low profit sia coin  and all the other shitcoin clones.

sp_'s.  I'm still just running on the ~22 750tis that I bought during the monero experiment of '14.  (there were 23, but someone bought one yesterday.  woohoo!  getting rid of stuff... slowly.)

On that note - thanks for your updates to the miner for quark.  Impressively zoomy.  I just switched a lot of nodes from my bbr miner to it for a ~2x improvement in $/w.  Piddles in actual dollar terms, but it's all about the fun.

The first percent's are easy, but then it gets more difficult.  In the end you need to rewrite everything... Your kernals are good wolf0. On every discussion forums I visit, I get comments from the low payed trolls.

3000~ XMR bounty. 3000*0.0019=5.7btc That's $1425@250 in USD for the full bounty. You'd know that if you checked the thread before turning the job down that he brought you because 'it didn't pay enough'.

I never said $1500 for 10% of the bounty.

Humoring you, I find it extremely hard to believe you need to work 40 hours for a 10% improvement in something like Cryptonote which has a miner from over a year ago that was thrown together for a bounty and really hasn't been updated since.

If you want to convey thoughts instead of showing of your childish sense of humor and maturity, it takes more then a couple run on sentences to do it. You know, the whole being professional thing.


There is a pretty sizeable bounty for work on it dude. I guess it's not good enough for DJM, but perhaps you'd be interested. I don't know much about coding, but that is one of the bigger bounties I've seen on the BCT forums if it's legit.


a. Perhaps if you're trying to optimize and make sha256 competitive with ASICs. A year old miner in something like Cryptonote that no one touches or even competes with and isn't in any more of a state then a working one is something I hardly consider you'd spend two months on for a 20% increase. You're trying to overstate your position.

While I don't program in CUDA or OCL, I can put two and two together. When Wolf0 brags about 15% increases on things like scryptn for fun and he and DJM like to whip their epeens all around, if you listen, you realize they're full of shit when they try to pretend how much time they spend on things.

b. OCL and CUDA are just like every other language. There is nothing super specialized this. I offer you less cherry picked results:

$40 a hour isn't unheard of and that's for people with credentials in a actual position, not backwater bumpkins posting on BCT. Either way, we aren't talking about hiring a 10+ year experienced software developer that's sitting comfy in a position at a financial investment firm.


Considering the power efficiency of Maxwell it'd be inherently more power efficient regardless of being that much better then Claymore. Towards the end of mining I basically just mined Monero, but there is still profit to be made there. A 290x gets you 710h/s... A 970 currently gets you 400h/s with TSIV Cryp miner... Double the hash would be on par with 290x's with a 970 and more power efficient to boot.


I know you have a great job, but think of the children...

I think I can make the monero miner 100% faster.  but the AMD miner from claymore is too good to make it worth the effort. I work fulltime in a company that pays $xxx,xxx dollars a year. Optimizing CCminer is just a hobby I do in my sparetime after work.

Donate some beers, and I am happy.

Worked some more on the spreadcoin miner. Managed to break 5Mhash on the gtx 970 (stable oc)

Quote edited for brevity.

Which is why so much of the US tech industry has outsourced to other nations, India being one notable example. The best ones do of course get transplanted to whatever location makes their work most efficient, but all in all, the US is a rather extreme reference.

I do agree with your general points however, but for the fact that comparing to any traditional employment reference, will not always make sense, as the bounty taker might be unemployed, still a student, in other words, that employment reference might be out of reach anyhow.

(a)  I think you're missing some of djm's points:  In a bounty, the developer takes on all of the risk.  There's a decent chance of failing to get a 20% speedup after a month of work.  That's kinda sucky, particularly when contract programming work pays better anyway.

(b)  $1500/week is low for a good US programmer.  http://money.usnews.com/careers/best-jobs/software-developer/salary
2013 average software dev salary was over $92k/year ($1769/week), and the ones who can crank out a 50% improvement on the Monero miner are closer to that top 10% figure -- think $150k/year and up.  The bounty also doesn't include benefits and the other nice things offered by a standard employer.

I base this upon knowing personally a few of the people who ship some of the highest performance mining code.  Many are not US based, but I know what their day jobs would pay if they were here.  (It's probably more than $150k/year.)

Freelancing generally needs to quote double the hourly rate of a salaried position when you take everything into account, which means that a US programmer earning $150k per year needs to charge about $150/hour -- or about $6000 for a full 40 hour week, not the $1500 you mentioned.

I ran the numbers on doing this as a business a while ago, and it's not clear that it's worth it given the other things you could do with the software talent you need.

Sp - can you show a screenshot of the spreadcoin miner please?

Works on linux, but you don't get the sourcecode and I won't make a build. Windows for now.

The miner needs some more work. As you can see the performance on 960 is worse than on the 750ti. The gtx 980 is above 500H/s

Linux?

heheh same here, just watching, mining with free electricity only when available 

I must be bored, just read the whole previous post. Their fingers musta been tired after all that keyboarding.
