I did a regression test comparing my mod #4 and the original kernal. Some of the nounces are not found resulting in a lower hashrate on the pool. Bensam was right again..New fixed version will be sendt out today.

decred - which intensy without freezing?
Try 30, 29, etc...

which intensy for 970 and 960 ?

what algo? usually you don't need intensity setting for etheruem or decred

The only other possibility is I'm running on W8.1 x64. I haven't had problems up till this point on using W8 over W7, however, sometimes I get better hashrate because of it. I still don't know why this would be the problem as the miner is showing a higher hashrate... which should include a CPU slowdown if my CPU was limiting the GPUs.

You reported that the original 1.7.4 had the same problem. It could be the stratum code that is not working correct. You need to mine on a pool with difficulty>1

I will run a kernal test to make sure my fork isn't missing any hash. I will run 1.7.4 kernal, and then my modded kernal and check if they find the same solutions..

If it were just a me issue other people wouldn't be getting it... Still other people wouldn't be getting correct speeds at pool.

This was made by the best hackers in the world. Back in 1988. on the commodore 64.

Hey I'm running ccMiner-(spmod) 1.5.78 which says it is optimised for Maxwell based cards.
Any reason why my NVIDIA Quadro M6000 12GB is only getting about 11.7MH/s @ x11 ?

Use version 1.5.74 and compile with cuda 6.5. Or buy my private kernal. (0.1BTC) The 980ti (6 GB) is doing 13MHASH x11, and 28MHASH quark ( @1280Mhz core) X11 has not been protifable on Nvidia cards since wolf0's binaries was stolen and spread. I only optimize the most profitable algos.

This is a pretty high end card and I hear ATI high ends go waaaay better so is it just the fact that it's an NVIDIA card or can I push this thing faster? No overclocking and running default settings on ccMiner. I tried tweaking different things like work sizes etc but no real gains.

Any one else mined with such a card? I didn't buy it for mining, just utilising it while it's sitting idle in my box so not really crucial just thought I'd see if I can squeeze more out of it Cheesy

Tried playing around with the -i setting too? Default is -i 20 IIRC, but you can probably get a lot higher.
Anyways, Quadros are differently designed than consumer-based cards and ccminer might probably need some code tweaks for such cards. Maybe if you donate to a dev, they might want to help you ^^

Also, X11 isn't worth it anymore Wink There are more profitable algos out there to mine.

POOL STATS--

I had a problem with the original tpruvot v1.7.4 stratum connection also.  Currently, the best connection I get at SuprNova is on port 9115 9112,  an "http" connection with a difficullty of 64 8.  The port uses Long-Polling, and the poolside hashrate stats fluctuate both over and under the actual hashrate of ~540MH/s per 750ti card  I tried the "stratum+tcp" port of 2252 (see cryptomining-blog), but it was not as good.  My rig posts 3240MH/s for 6 cards at the local console, and reads from 2K to 4K MH/s poolside while using the high-difficulty Long-Polling port of 9115.  I mine about 5 DCR per day at this rate, but the poolside stats fluctuate.       --scryptr

EDIT:  There is a DECRED proxy available at https://github.com/bitbandi/decred-proxy , it may solve things.  It is a true proxy, unlike the proxy stratum  implementation in CCminer v1.7.4 .  I use a proxy for all my ETHminer rigs.      --scryptr

EDIT:  I fell back on difficulty some and started using the Long-Polling port of 9112, with a difficulty of 8.  My small rig was not able to submit shares often enough at a difficulty of 64 (port 9115).       --scryptr

Did you have the minerhash vs poolhash bug before? Did it fix it?

The bug is only present on some computers with slow cpu'.'s. On one of my rigs. 6x 750ti celeron windows 8 release #5 used 50% cpu. Release #6 is using 25% cpu. If I reduce the the intensity, the cpu usage is down.

It's not the ccminer process that use CPU but the system. (driver?)

All my windows 7 rigs are fine even with the same CPU.



It's not a CPU utilization bug. As I mentioned I have quad cores and they're running at about 1-5% CPU utilization. I just decommissioned my last A4-4000. I know what a CPU bottleneck looks like, I bought quads over duel specifically to prevent something like this from happening.

1. Download and install cuda 7.5
2. Download and install Visual studio express
3. Download the sourcecode (https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer)
4. open the project in  visual studio.
5. Select release in the combobox.
6.  Build (click on the green play button.)

I have added 0.5% in the quark algo for the ppl who build. Will make release 79 soon.

Do you click on a specific file to build or select all files?

DECRED BETA #6--

I did get a copy (finally) of DECRED beta #6.  It runs at 535MH/s per GTX 750ti FTW mining DCR, compiled with CUDA 6.5, using SuprNova pool with port 9111 (difficulty 4).  The exact same setup, mining with tpruvot 1.7.4, also compiled with CUDA 6.5, and connected to SuprNova pool on the same port, mined at 485MH/s.  That is a +50MH/s increase, or roughly +10%.

Compile with cuda 7.5 and gain another 10%

SP - is there an easy guide on compiling in Windows?  i use Windows 8.1 64 Bit.

750ti CARDS MINE DECRED--

Sorry, it looks like I am wading into turbulent water.  A 750ti card can mine ETH at about 5MH/s in Linux, or DECRED (DCR) at full speed on Linux or Windows.  Right now, my Linux 750ti rig is mining DCR at 480MH/s per card with tpruvot CCminer v 1.7.4 .  I am not sure what speed my 6x 750ti FTW rig will mine DCR because I haven't kept up with the DCR CCminer updates from sp_ , and the posted reports are not ringing true, or lining up, or consistant in any good way.

But if you run the numbers, my 750ti rig would be earning about the same mining ETH at 2/3 speed (5MH/s) or DCR at top speed (600MH/s??? per card).  So, what is true?  I could burn another image to a spare USB stick and switch to ETH, or stay with DCR and tpruvot, or send 0.1BTC for DCR/Vanilla deluxe edition to sp_ .

I am considering accepting donations for my Lubuntu/Genoil's CUDA Ethminer image, but I don't think it is bug free.  It takes a 16GB stick, and is not fancy like other distributions (BAMT/KopiemTu/PIMP)

Any feedback is welcome.       --scryptr

That's exactly right, 5 Mh/s of Eth and 600 Mh/s of Decred currently earns exactly the same amount ($1.36) per 750 Ti per day. (source: http://karldiab.com/EthereumMiningCalculator/ and http://decred-calc.cryptohub.info/)
But Eth I think uses a tiny bit less electricity (it does on the 970).

I'm not sure how fast the private Vanilla version is but with 1100 Mh/s you'd get about $0.85 per day currently.

I don't care about Vanilla, there are several coins that are more profitable consistently (and all have decent wallets) and I'm certainly not going to buy the private miner.

I will monitor SuprNova pool stats, and report after watching for a few hours.  I know that fluctuation is normal for pool stats.  Local console readings are usually steady.


In putting my 280X cards back online, I've missed out on some of the last few days of nVidia thrills and spills.  Oh, well...  My next 750ti rig will be CUDA 7.5, my rock-steady rig is not changing configuration yet.     --scryptr
