SOLO-MINE  SECRETCOIN (SCRT) --

SecretCoin has seen a consistently high trading volume for more than a week, several BitCoins a day.  I have found it easy to solo-mine this X11 algo coin.  First, download the wallet from "https://secretcoin.club".
Using the example wallet configuration file below, allow the wallet to synchronise.  Be sure to capitalise the "S" and "C" letters when titling the file:

SecretCoin.conf
==========

server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
maxconnections=1024
rpcuser=yourname
rpcpassword=pass
rpcport=23151
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.111
rpcallowip=192.168.1.112
addnode=23.227.190.110
addnode=104.255.33.191
addnode=185.81.164.238

==========

The addnodes are vital for synchronisation, and the rcpallowip addresses should reflect the local LAN net addresses of your miners.  My launch line for sp_'s ccminer reads like this:

"ccminer -a x11 -C --cpu-priority 5 -o http://127.0.0.1:23151" -u yourname -p pass"

It just works!  

The network hashrate and mining difficulty figures are on the rise, it is harder to mine a 31.25 SCRT block than when I started.  Also, besides miniing Proof-of-Work (POW) blocks, your wallet will be receiving Proof-of-Stake (POS) blocks for any coins that are being held.  POS blocks are generally smaller, a fraction of a coin each, unless the miner holds 100,000 SCRT or more.

I purchased 0.05 BTC worth of SCRT when I started so that I would have a stake.  It is now worth more than 2x what I paid, and trending up.  Earlier miners saw the value rise from about 50 satoshi per coin!

Good Luck!       --scryptr

1 year ago quark was doing 14MHASH with heavy overclocking. so you got a 50% free boost with the SP-MOD

But release 74 doesn't give a boost comparing to the old ccminer on compute 3.5. Most of the optimalizations are Maxwell only..

Don't forget that the mining software has been optimized to become 50% faster in 1 year.

Most of the work has been done by me..

in sept 2014, x11 was hashing at 6.6MHASH with the djm34 miner. This was just abit faster than on the 780ti(compute 3.5)..

in release 74 x11 is breaking 10MHASH easy on the gtx980 ...

Not really, it's not just about hardware. After compute 3.5, the jump to compute-5 with maxwell changed the game quite a bit.

Yes power consumption will probably be lower, but the pricetag will probably be pretty high. So older gear could still be in the game. But we will have to wait and see when someone get their hands on some new cards.

power consumption should be lower or I miss the point... (or more operations for same consumption)

Yes ofc it will be more powerful, but i think the performance expectations are a little too high at this point. But the future will tell when we see the new cards up and hashing. In the end everything is all about pricetag, power consumption and performance vs cheap older gear.

GDDR5x was a possible alternative if HBM was unavailable or not stable enough... ive read HBM2 also but maybe only for the next ones and/or the top ones

well if AMD does that already...   we should expect nvidia doing worst (feature and price)-wise 

Looks like Nvidia will also pull an AMD and save HBM for the high end only Pascal cards. All other cards will get GDDR5x memory but it is supposedly faster than GDDR5. Or whatever they are calling it.

not obvious...
In principle Pascal should have a 16nm die and should be more powerful also it should come with new HBM vram closer to the processor.
So it should be more powerful.

I am not sure what to think about Pascal yet. I think all the performance hype is quite overrated actually. But i guess there will be alot of used and cheap gear to buy when everyone is upgrading and that is nice for all of us

I try to look at all factors as I have the system running in my room. You can get more cards, but with 7 mh/s, you'll also get more heat. I think of it as a way that may be you should get 2x970's, and find a 980 at a cheap price, it'll definitely be a win situation.

You'll always have that one itch for adding more cards.

I've left room for one or two more cards on the motherboard, also have enough power to power them all. Honestly, right now I'm just waiting for Pascal which is rumored to be out in Q1 16.

Lyra2v2 on the 750ti should do around 5MHASH each with the correct clocks. so your rig does around 30MHASH if you tune it correctly.
The 980ti only does around 18 MHASH with overclocking and costs  the same as 6 used ti's.

But the 980ti can ofcourse do much bether with the right code..

With my 6XEVGA 750 ti SC (No Bios mod, no extra connector, no OC, Max 1320MHz) on LyraREv2 it is 395W In from wall on digital PSU.  Windows 8.1 Pro

Quark 420W in from wall

Idle 90W in from wall

Some quick Quark testing. Cards overclocked 180Mhz

Lyra2v2 scales very badly with bigger cards so I wouldn't use that as a reference to judge cards. In fact, a 970 is ~2.3 times faster than a 750 Ti which is one of the lowest ratio I ever seen.



That might be true but a 980 (at least where I live) is 55% more expensive than a 970 while only have 23% more cores.

My power draws are ~890W lyra2v2 and ~1030W quark with 980, 3x970, 960 and 750ti all overclocked and rised power limit on 2x 970 and 960. The miner is r.74.
Making 92.4MH quark and 54.7MH lyra2v2.

I have been mining at nicehash and hashpower for the last months. I have also tested the nicehash miner but i get a bit lower speed on all cards with it. But yeah, i think i can call myself a poolguy.
Right now i am not really sure what to do, keep these or replace them with 3x970 cards.

3x970 should give me around 30Mhs Lyra2rev2 @ around 430w ?

With 970 cards i should gain like 7Mhs and only get around 50-75w higher powerdraw.


I can make some runs later tonight and post some numbers

Thats not bad, a little bit higher powerdraw then i was calculating but still good.
