Gonna try it...we need pool support.
I think 10% is a fair cut for a capable gpu miner.
Topic: [Preview] Smelter - GPU miner for WhirlpoolX (Vanillacoin) - page 16. (Read 132864 times)
New version is ready, download it here
Royalty decreased from 12.5% to 10%
Kernel speed improved for ~40%, from 1.04 to 1.47 MH/s on my 6770
New command line options
-w - worksize, can be 32,64,128 or 256
-g - number of GPU threads
-i - intensity, measures as milliseconds to run the kernel. Don't worry, 100 is pretty small value
Happy mining!

linux version available?
6930+6770=3.7MH/s speed improved for 15%

When can we expect to see a new version?
I haven't been able to mine as the intensity is way too high to be run in background.
I hope to release new version tomorrow. (The kernel was done on August 2nd, the first smelter version was ready on October 15th. You got the idea about the development speed I haven't been able to mine as the intensity is way too high to be run in background.
)smelter miner give 112 quark of 128 block bounty, but in Block explorer absent transaction difference. Wherе is 16 quark?
They are in my wallet I'll lower royalty a bit in the next version.

6930+6770=3.2MH/s
My thoughts exactly, There are countless people in the world trying to hustle money away from each other. This is a good example.
Closed source, steals 1/8, possible malware, what could go wrong? 
7970 is mining LTC at 700 Kilohash/s - it is about 0.68 LTC/day or 0.0082 BTC/day. 1.2 Mhash/s Quark mining is about 5000 QRK/day or 0.0051 BTC/day and 12.5% to author. So it is more profitable to mine LTC or FTC, then Quark with GPU.
Am I right?
That's correct. My trick with groestl hash works well for VLIW5, but not for GCN Am I right?
I think the idea of a percent fee is an excellent idea akin to pool operators.
Thank you! (And there is no risk of 51% attack from me )Obviously, skimming 1/8 is highway robbery.
12.5% of mined Quarks is a lot, but I hope that 12.5% of mined Primecoins will be generous. I'll lower royalty percent in the next Quark kernel.Snip
Obviously, skimming 1/8 is highway robbery.
Yes.
Simple question and simple answer

Good work on the program. I tried it for a couple hours crunching Quark and scored a block with it getting 1.2MH/s with an XFX 7970. Looking forward to the improvments and optimizations that will come with future versions.
I think the idea of a percent fee is an excellent idea akin to pool operators. The 1/8 (12.5%) fee is fine for the first few early versions to make development worthwile but I think something in the 2-4% would be much more reasonable once it is more widely released with a wider user base.

Profit estimation per 1 MH/s for Quark and Securecoin:
QRK:1000000*60*60*24*128*0.00000110/16777216/124 = 0.00584 BTC/day
SRC:1000000*60*60*24*5*0.00041263/16777216/1462 = 0.00726 BTC/day
QRK:1000000*60*60*24*128*0.00000110/16777216/124 = 0.00584 BTC/day
SRC:1000000*60*60*24*5*0.00041263/16777216/1462 = 0.00726 BTC/day
Profit less than CPU miner ?
I read the thread expect new version soon
expect new version soon Around 40% of scrypts usage (atleast on my 7950)
[Following data pulled from HWinfo]
Quark: Core 57W Memory 14W Combined 71W
Scrypt: Core 135W Memory 35W Combined 170W
These powers are measured after VRM modules so total card consumption is higher, around 200W in scrypt and 85W in quark. (Rough approximation with bad multimeter)
Hopefully the miner gets updated to support GCN cards as soon as possible, I'd be more than happy if it would pull 2.5MH/s with 200W power usage, but as performance of 6000-series is great,over 2.5MH/s with 6970, I'm hoping for over 4MH/s when it gets optimized ^^

What is the power drawn by mining with GPU ? I don't think GPU mining makes any sense with this performance.
