Monoro V (XMV) forked off Monero couple of nights ago

It has the algo Cryptonight variant 1 aka Monero7

Announcement: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-xmv-monerov-fork-110-of-monero-finite-coin-supply-private-2947912

I've been using this pool : https://cryptoknight.cc/monerov/

It's only available on the altex exchange at the moment so best sitting on till it gets somewhere more popular.

Given the algo variations now I'd split you should include that too.

CN-Heavy: Haven, Loki, Ombre, Solace, Sumo

CN-variant 1: bbs, graft, intense, italocoin, lines, masari, monerov, stellite

CN-Alloy: Alloy

CN-Lite-ipbc: Ibpc

CN-Lite-variant1: Iridum, Triton, Turtlecoin

Unforked: crepcoin, dero, karbo, niobio, qwerty, xun, aeon, electroneum


Another coin is Iridium

Announcement : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-iridium-ird-people-are-power-community-build-crypto-2150442

I think it's have a resurgence after forking to Cn-lite variant 1

I mined 200 off https://cryptoknight.cc/iridium/# and sold them today and the price was up 150% on trade-ogre

Just a heads up for the CPU mining crowd... you may want to checkout Webchain.  It appears to be a CPU only coin at this time with its on variant of Cryptonight.

I have added a new coin to the post in this thread - Triton. You can find more info on it in this announcement thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-triton-tritasic-resistant-updated-june-30-2018-2944793

With a hash rate of about 150 h/s, you will get about 25 TRIT/day using the Cryptonight Lite V1 algo.

Thanks for the heads up! They were on and off with the swap for a while now. Didn't know if they were going to do it or not after all.

I have added this info to the main post in this thread for others to be aware of the swap.

I will try the Loki Coin seem a good coin!

If anyone here was mining Pinkstar - PNKS

You need to swap your coins before the 27th May

Indeed it looks good. Thanks for suggesting it, I've added to the first post of this thread.

With a hash rate of about 150 h/s in cryptonight heavy you will get about 0.4 LOKI per day. That's not bad at all and it seems 1 LOKI is currently valued at about $1.4.

Loki coin started last thursday. It's had a lot of publicity and there's loads of pools so the network hash is 25-30MH

Original Announcement: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annmnloki-loki-private-transactions-comms-3016125

It uses the algo cryptonight heavy

I use the pool: https://loki.miner.rocks/#  but if you're less bothered about a quick profit, use an alternate.

Currently  1KH/s/day = 3.04 LOKI / $4.67

Ok, now this make more sense You didn't mention what was your previous drop other than it was up by 5 h/s. Thanks for bringing more clarity to this.

You don't need to be worried on getting this thread clogged up, it's here to help people. More details the better.

I've also checked my page file size but for some reason it always was more that what windows recommends. Although I might have modified it in the past for something else. 

Jeezz, I'll start again,

When I originally posted I didnt want to post every little thing id done or checked to clog the thread up but I guess I have too !
My post was a quick summary of what id changed to fix my problem, nothing more nothing less. So I do sincerely apologize for not providing every little single piece of information !

My h/s dropped by at least 70h/s from a normal average of 185-195 h/s dependent on which miner I used, be that xmrig or xmr-stak, a normal max around 200-202 on stak
There was no reason for this, nothing had changed on the pc, no hardware changes, no softwares change's, nothing running in the background like windows update !
And yes i'm more than aware that even opening a browser can drop your h/s but thanks sooo much for pointing that out !

So I rebooted, restarted a miner, still the same.
Stopped the miner
Swapped pools
Swapped miners
Nope problem still the same.
Checked internet speed, no problems
Ran a memory test.
Rebooted still the same
Ran IntelProcessor Diagnostic Tool
No problems found.
So then I remebered something id read, so I thought what the hell its worth a shot,
So I changed the page files settings from the windows defaults (just to be clear, as per the above post) rebooted once more and started the miner once more and
guess what, it only went and worked. And to add to my surprise the max speed went up by 5 to 207, woohoooo !

So to state again increasing the page file size worked for what ever caused the problem I had in the first place.

Ive probabily missed something that id checked and I know I havent gone in depth on how to change the page file
size but if you feel the need to try im sure google will help you out with that

So, you got an increase of just 5 h/s?  

That's kind of negligible if you ask me. You could have had something else running in your system tray that gobbles up CPU resources and you might just did not notice it.

The drop in h/s was on both xmrig and xmr-stack and huge pages has always been enabled ever since id used this particular pc to cpu mine

Ive tried to find the post/article id originally read but I cant find it, I know it it wasn't on here, but if i do find it i'll defo post it

All i can say is what I had done above, fixed my problem and in fact it slightly increased my max h/s on xmrig by 5   lol

If you use xmrig you don't really need to care about this. By default it will try to use large page files but sometimes for this setting to take effect you need to restart your machine.

When you start xmrig it will say at the beginning if large page files are enabled or disabled. Usually a limiting factor in the hash rate is the amount of L3 cache that you have it's not the page file size.

I had a problem with my h/s dropping and remembered Id read something along my travels that increasing the size of the windows page file would help.
From what I remember it said that your virtual memory should match that of your physical memory, so as the machine I cpu mine on has 8gb ram, I
increased the page file minium too 8000mb and max to 16000mb and i got my h/s back to full speed.

The above my be helpful but someone more experienced could maybe explain better

This one looks good I've looked a bit into it and it seems it's attracted some attention and it may be a successful coin later on. Thanks for mentioning it here!

I've added it to the main post in this thread, you will get about 2000 tokens/day with a hash rate of 150 h/s.

Turtlecoin forked and changed to CryptoNightLiteV1 algorithm

Its wildly increased the h/s, i'm now averaging 650h/s but by the looks of things the value has dipped

Is the coin listed?

Another new one: Solace Coin

announcement:  https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/annpowsolace-solacecoin-your-humane-cryptonote-coin-3297659

It's already forked to cryptonight heavy and the difficulty is low because it's new

I'm getting 330 H/s on a 1060-6GB which equates to ~5600 coins / day

I'm using the pool http://solacecoin.cryptonote.host but cryptoknight.cc are opening one tomorrow.

Thanks for the update! I have looked into this new coin and it looks promising They're still very new but there is a lot of hype around this coin, which is good.

I have add it to the main post of this thread, you can get up to 20 token/day with 150 h/s

Happy mining
