Oh no worries bud, was just curious as I had not heard anything about the POS stuff.  No rush brother:-)

IMJim,

I will activate the POS once I get to that update in the Core 1.0.2. Currently have been quite busy with other infrastructure Smiley

Thank You,
Viz.

If you fail...just dont fail again
Sorry if I missed this guys but why does the wallet have a staking option but does not stake?

It is my understanding that CoinShield will eventually add a PoS channel, but not until after the market channels are added.  Videlicet might have a timetable in mind, not sure...

I'll ask Viz to comment on this. CSD will stake when Viz activates it, waiting on an update. He will provide more info.


I am amazed at the price someone is dumping coins at.  Selling at less than 300sat yesterday!!!  Maybe that person will fill my buy order today?!



Yeh, the price/value is really low right now.... Right now is a good time to mine and buy as there is very little outside attention on Coinshield. We will begin marketing soon (waiting on everything to be perfect and source to be released).

Some news about ati miner ? Smiley

Best

I believe I found the Issue.

It seems that after solving 1 block the OpenCL kernel believes any and all future blocks are solved.

It's not in the kernel work itself but the data being passed to it.

In removing the memory leaks I introduced the issue into the OpenCL work.

I'm debugging it now. It took a while to find the issue yesterday as I had to wait for a block to be solved.

I'll keep you updated on my progress Smiley

TY Smiley

I fixed the memory leaks. So the miner is using less than 100 kb of memory instead of using all of it until the PC crashes.

However, there is still an issue. Instead of slowing down now the miner eventually fails to work on blocks.

I'm working on that issue now and will keep everyone updated. I hope to have it solved tomorrow.

Ok So I think I figured out the slow down issue with the AMD SKMiner.

Basically it was massive memory leaks.

I rebuilt it and I'm testing on my R9 270's and my R9 280x.

I'll let everyone know how it goes tomorrow and if it's stable I'll put a new build up.

GO dev :!

First day blocks found send for you if miner will be stable Wink


Best Regards

WTS 50,000 COINS please offer ? Escrow welcome.

Edit: I'll buy at 300 400 satoshi --> so 0.15 0.2 BTC total.

Ok so I have a few changes that I've made to the AMD miner.

I made some changes that should make it a little more stable. I can run an R9 280x all day if the intensity settings are low, around 16 and 1 gpu thread of course.


I also fixed up the config a lot. The "devices" setting is no longer required, unless you need to disable a card or cards. Then you will need to list specific devices that should run in that section.

You no longer need a setting for every card. 1 setting works for all cards now.

You can also have say 2 settings for one section and 1 for another and everything works
For Example

"gpu-engine" : "1080",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250,1500",
"gpu-shaders" : "1280,2048",
"gpu-threads" : "1",

works as it should.


You also no longer need the config file if you don't wish to use it. You can put the settings in the .bat file.
For Example:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
SKMiner.exe --connections 127.0.0.1:9325 user x password x --algorithm sk1024_djm

This is all you need now to start the miner. You SHOULD put other settings in though. Otherwise your performance will be low

A list of all of the optional settings are here:

https://github.com/BitSlapper/SKMiner/blob/master/documents/config_parameters.txt



I built a new version of the Win x64 binary with these changes. The file is on my drop box here:

Great update ! I will test today with 280x !

Edit: Tested with MSI Amd R9 280x 3GB Twin Frozr. Well, I found 1 block Smiley My first block with AMD ( I will send my block reward to BitSlapper . He is good and helpfull , so he deserve it Smiley Not much but that is all I earn with AMD ). Hashrate is varies. From 25Mhs-35Mhs /GPU. Everythink was good in first 3 hours and after that hashrate drop from 35Mhs to 0Mhs ( zero Sad ) and after that jump back , but just to 6-8Mhs . I also tested with AMD Sapphire 270x Dual-X 2GB, with 4 GPU in rig. Total hashrate was ~55Mhs ( that is not so bad ). Unfortunately no blocks was found! After about 2hour of mining , the miner crash and in the background the miner found xxx blocks and every block was rejected by network. The total power consumption for 4 x 270x was from 450w to 550w, and I think that 550w is too much Sad and mining CSD with AMD is not profitable at the moment. Maybe if someone make some optimization for amd miner or if price jump ....

So, that was my little review. I just share my experience and I hope I helped to someone Smiley
Here is my config file for Amd Msi 280x.

Amd Msi 280x ~35Mhs :

{
   "connections" :
   [
      {
         "url" : "127.0.0.1:9325",
         "user" : "x",

      }
   ],
   
   "algorithm" : "sk1024_djm",
   "gpu-engine" : "1000",
   "gpu-memclock" : "1250",
   "gpu-shaders" : "1280",
   "gpu-threads" : "1",
   "gpu-vddc" : "1100",
   "gpu-powertune" : "0",
   "intensity" : "20",
   "xintensity" : "0",
   "rawintensity" : "0",
   "thread-concurrency" : "8192",
   "lookup-gap" : "2",
   "worksize" : "256",
   "temp-target" : "75",

   "temp-cutoff" : "95",
   "auto-engine" : "false",
   "auto-fan" : "false",

edit ; miner performance still decrease after 30 minutes :/
