With a dual processor intel xeon e5 2680v2 @ 2.80 GHz (20c 40t), I can get a good result? Grin

I'm undecided at which cryptocurrencies can i mine! (Pts, gap, xpt, mmc, riecoin, yac ...)

It was only the wind.
Explain me this worksize 48 thing.
I'm very surprised. AMD Radeon has native hardware work size 64, wsize 48 implies 25% performance trashed... is this supposed to happen?

I know! But thinking about it, 48 is only used with 2 GPU threads... still would mean performance SHOULD be fucked. Dunno.

w48 causes lots of HW errors for me

w64 and I=12 gets me about 200kh - but still with hw errors

Heyo,
the Idea is interesting and I like it  Grin but I need to configure all my miners new and the settings dont wanna work like before .... I use cgminer 3.7.7b neoscrypt and it is working but I have only 40kh/s instead of 650khs/s like before. Can anyone help to find the optimal settings for the R9 280X GV-R928XOC-3GD-GA   (-I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu --powertune 20     isnt working that good anymore Sad )

-w48, not -w256

You will probably need to lower the intescity slightly from what you used for Scrypt, but the Hash rate is considerably lower for Neoscrypt than Scrypt.
For exaple my GPU gave me 370kh/s on Scrypt but on 29 to 30kh/s for NeoScrypt.
The fact it is lower is not an issue because it is lower for everyone, your GPU will also run cooler too.
I'm sure over the coming months there will be optimisation made to the mining software and the value will go up slowly over time, but highly unlikely ever back to what you got with Scrypt.

If you haven't already I suggest joining the feathercoin forum and have a read through the threads there as people are just starting to post their optimal settings for Neoscrypt.

i request FTC to create C# implementation of neoscrypt.

No surrender, no retreat, no regret.
I just assumed that scrypt-n was neoscrypt because the miner at the beginning of the thread has that as the only option other than scrypt and sha-256, anyway, the miner at the beginning of the thread doesn't work.  Thanks again, much obliged. 

Maybe you could start with the built-in help?

Code:
$ minerd --help
Usage: minerd [OPTIONS]
Options:
  -a, --algo=ALGO       specify the algorithm to use
      neoscrypt  NeoScrypt(128, 2, 1) with Salsa20/20 and ChaCha20/20 (default)
      altscrypt  Scrypt(1024, 1, 1) with Salsa20/8 through NeoScrypt
      scrypt     Scrypt(1024, 1, 1) with Salsa20/8
      sha256d    SHA-256d

And yes, it does work.

We also have a GPU miner too, its still Beta and not yet optimised but it does work.

You can download it from the links in this thread.

thank you very much, I actually got it working using just the place you mentioned.  I just assumed that scrypt-n was neoscrypt because the miner at the beginning of the thread has that as the only option other than scrypt and sha-256, anyway, the miner at the beginning of the thread doesn't work.  Thanks again, much obliged.

forgive me for being a moron, I am trying to cpu mine scrypt-n with the miner at the beginning of this thread, with a ./minerd --help, it says that scrypt-n is there if I use -a scrypt:N in the options, but I get this:

Code:
./minerd: unknown algorithm -- 'scrypt:N'

I get the same error with -a scryptN, -a scrypt-n -a scrypt-N and so on.. what is the proper usage to get it to mine using the neoscrypt algorithm?

thanks in advance, I apologize if this has been covered already, but I just didn't see it anywhere in this thread.

Neoscrypt is not Scrypt:N, that is something different

Here is my how I launch minerd for PXC the blocks factory


minerd.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.pxc.theblocksfactory.com:3332 --algo="neoscrypt" --threads="3" --retry-pause="5" -u [Username. Worker] -p [Password]

Obviously change the username and password to yours

The blocks factory has a pretty good how to on setting up minerd too, this is obvikously for PXC but once FTC has moved to NeoScrypt you will be able to use the same setup just pointed at a FTC pool

Yes, agree. Just like Primecoin the only beneficiaries are the botnet owners. They will just mine for free and sell immediately.

This might have come too late. If it would have arrived 6 months back it could have saved Feathercoin.

And thats exactly why FTC is 100% up today...lol.

Anyway, gpu miner is opened for public beta testing and tweaking now:

https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7780-neoscrypt-gpu-miner-public-beta-test/#entry67556

Its back straight down. Just was a pump to get some profits.

You will be surprised soon.

Do we an indication of the performance of CPU and GPU miners?

Beta GPUs are avilable for you to test, keep in mind these are Beta and not optimised yet, but you can download the source or a precompiled one from here
https://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?/topic/7780-neoscrypt-gpu-miner-public-beta-test/

These can be used to mine PXC

Its a step in the right direction. FTC has remained stuck for sometime in public view but silently there has been quite a lot of work going on. The community will be surprised when they see the price surge up soon.
