sp_ where do you mine dark I will send my 980's over there overnight as a donation

Thanks!

you can use this bat file to mine darks for me:

ccminer -a quark -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:4033 -u XdgfWywdxABwMdrGUd2xseb6CYy1UKi9jX -p x

hmm I believe ya.. I am new here and all ....

I was trying to mine dark with x11 at one time... does it support more than one algo

or does that pool auto exchange out to your required coin >?

we have setup some donation links specifically for miners who want to donate with hash ... its still in test - but the links for sp are active and will mine on nicehash ...

when the urls become static - and people are interested in donating that way - we will expand it to most algos and different devs ...

but for now - sp is one which links have been up and running - and seem to be donating fine ...

ALL of the hashrate goes to the donation target and we do not charge anything - so none of your hashrate goes anywhere else but to the donation link ...

its for the devs - as we like to see the devs benefit also from the work they have done ...

You're welcome.
To clarify for you, it is not that " ASICs have a much lower hashrate compared to recent graphic cards when mining any other algo apart from SHA and Scrypt."
It is that an ASIC has NO hashrate for any algo other than what it was designed for.

lol oops. Thanks for the clarification, I'm very noob at cryptocoins in general yet Cheesy

Before I was looking at the option of mining sha256 altcoins with an Antminer S5 and exchange them for two or three strong altcoins as a long term investment but now seeing that there are many sha and scrypt altcoins with proposals of migrating their algos when ASIC catch up I think investing in a better graphics card may be a better idea Undecided

Have to say that it is a bit confusing Cheesy

A nice point about GPUs compared to ASICs is resell value.
When your GPU stops being profitable because of newer better hardware coming out, you still have a graphics card. You can use it for gaming, or sell it on ebay pretty easily.
When your ASIC gets outdated, all you have is a very noisy room heater for the winter, which doubles as an ugly paperweight in the summer :-)

Depending upon your specific Tech/Geek/Nerd quotient, ASIC's could be considered a handsome desk accessory. Grin

it was for me ...

now its a recyclable appliance ...

Wink

...

sp - has made huge advancements in his fork of ccminer ...

will be sticking with gpu for a while yet ...

The pool is also mining the x11 algo and have darkcoins. The coins are not exchanged on an exchange, but within the pool.

With a bit more clearification from yaamp.com: "We also allow payouts in any currency we mine. Use your wallet address as the username."

1) Aha thanks a lot for the answer. So ASICs have a much lower hashrate compared to recent graphic cards when mining any other algo apart from SHA and Scrypt. So my guess is professional miners prefer to have a wide range of algo options and mine any altcoin directly rather than limit to a couple of algos (like SHA and Scrypt) and use the exchange market to get any desired cryptocoin.

I am not crysx, but I can help answer these two questions:

1) NONE of us are mining SHA-256 algorithm. You are of course correct about ASICs dominating SHA-256, or any other algorithm for which ASICs exist. (Scrypt) [Are there others?]
Which is exactly why we don't mine any algo with ASICs.
We are GPU miners and this is a thread about the fastest nVidia-based GPU's using SP's optimized miner.

2) That oil-cooling stuff is indeed awesome, but the implementation costs would likely destroy any chance of achieving ROI.
(Public) Colleges have plenty of (public) funds to spend and they don't calculate ROI like us GPU miners must do.

2) You're right. I've just checked the cost of mineral oil and would make it unprofitable. (geez 12 gal 230$!) Shocked

Of course, Darkcoin is deprecated and Dash is what is meant.

The pool is also mining the x11 algo and have darkcoins. The coins are not exchanged on an exchange, but within the pool.

you can follow the hashrate here:

http://yaamp.com/?address=XdgfWywdxABwMdrGUd2xseb6CYy1UKi9jX

currently 45MHASH

quark is payed more, and the miner is 100% faster than x11 on the gtx980.

but this can change... That is why I am optimizing all the algorithms in ccminer.

i just tried myriad at miningpoolhub

ccminer.exe -a groestl -o stratum+tcp://hub.miningpoolhub.com:20479 -u user.worker -p x

and I got all reject for difficulty too low.

I tried to run a pool test for you.

groestl is not for myriad... -a "myr-gr" for that

Energy is quite expensive in France: 0.144€/kWh, which makes Nvidia the only cards that can ROI. And it still takes them around 8 months...

Expensive? In Italy we pay way more than 0.2, even 0.3 at times. And the more you use, the more you pay (per KW/h).

You call that expensive?

Check out the prices here..

0,529€/kWh is the cheapest if you have a single meter "Fixed Price"
0,423€/kWh is the cheapest if you have a single meter "Variable Price"

If you only use at night it's the last column (no one does that) that's a fixed price of 4,16€/kWh or also if you have a dual meter (night tariff and day tariff)

The prices at the bottom are the average prices, variable and fixed prices.

So you all should be happy with those prices...

Merged a change from the tpruvot branch. When the stratum connection was lost, ccminer kept mining even if the internet connection was down. Now ccminer it wil sleep and save electricity.

Tried to close my internet connection but ccminer with latest commits continues to load gpu 100% (((
