something i don't understand

r9 290   does only 227mh ?  it should do more than 280mh  right?  if a r9 290 is = 2x r9 270
my msi 270 does 144 at stock speed

and also my 380 does 186 mh (210mh @1100) , so i don't understand how is possible to have only 230mhz on r9 290
or maybe with some oc you get close to 300 or not? but i doubt i think must be around 260  (if the 280 does +24mh)

because i m looking for a msi r9 390 speed on skein, can't find nothing even for 290 no much info


Gtx460        skein 31 MH/s  -I 7  --gpu-engine 822
hd6670msi       skein 31 MH/s  -I 9 -g 2 -w 64 --gpu-engine 900
hd4890      skein 33 MH/s  -I 8 -g 2 -w 64 --gpu-engine 950
R9270msi           Skein 154 MH/s -I 10 -g 2 -w 64 --gpu-engine 1100
R9380asus/xfx     Skein 202 MH/s -I 11 -g 2 -w 64 --gpu-engine 1050

now i have one there is the speed of 390
r9390 xfx                  302MH      -I 11 -g 2 -w 64 --gpu-engine 1090

new ccminer with faster qubit on cryptominingblog

No sure if this is correct but I seem to be getting 180 Mh/s with 7950s (nix, 14.6 drivers) but the watts and heat are just about the same as mining scrypt.  my settings are  any feedback would be helpful, or should i try myriad-groestl instead?   

i dont use the myrswitcher because it does not compare the higher power consumption

Thanks for the update.

I have been mining qubit with my R9 270 using the old sph-sgminer.  For some reason the MyrSwitcher package, with comes with sgminer I think, would just crash/relaunch sgminer over and over again when I tried mining qubit with my card.

Downloading sph-sgminer and using it without the Switcher GUI solved my problem, and I'm now able to mine qubit at about 3.1 MHs (anybody out there getting a higher hashrate out of this card?).

However, I would love to use the Switcher GUI for all of my mining!  It's way too cool.  Is there a way to have MyrSwitcher launch sph-sgminer instead of sgminer for qubit, and the the new grs-sgminer for groestl?  Also, do we know if there are any plans to update the MyrSwitcher package to include these changes (for noobs like me)? 

Small Update for the Mining Guide:

Algorythm #1: SHA256D

Nothing changed. This is the algo for all bitcoin ASICs.


Algorythm #2: Scrypt

Nothing changed. This is the algo for all litecoin ASICs.


Algorythm #3: Skein

Nothing changed. You can mine it with reorder's gpu miner and maybe in the future with ccminer for nvidia cards.


Algorythm #4 Groestl

For AMD GPUs:

u can now use the new grs-sgminer, a OpenCL optimized miner: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anngroestlmyriadgroestl-pool-closed-652849
also make sure u have the 14.6 beta driver, it brings a huge boost in MH/s

For nVidia GPUs:

ccminer v1.2 is the fastest miner at the moment


Algorythm #5 Qubit

For AMD GPUs: sgminer v5 or the older sph-sgminer: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-sgminer-v5-optimized-x11x13neoscryptlyra2reetc-kernel-switch-miner-632503 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0;all
                     not really optimized gpu miners at the moment

For nVidia GPUs:

ccminer 1.2U-a https://ayarscloud.tonidoid.com/urljfz5fy



If you want to see how well your hardware performs, look here: http://myriad.theblockexplorer.com/help.php

For the right pool: http://www.reddit.com/r/myriadcoin/comments/26kwbm/official_list_of_myriad_pools/

u can mine with your cpu, but its pointless, because it's too inefficient

if you want to mine, u need a mining rig with 4+ gpus or an asic like the gridseed blade miner (650$) for scrypt or for sha256


i wouldn't buy a medion pc; it's cheaper to buy components and build yourself; are you from holland?

Hi guys,

I have no knowledge of mining, but like where altcoins are going, especially Myriadcoin. I bought some 120K of them, but would love to mine them as well. That makes me feel more involved, and maybe its profitable too.
I'm able to buy this home PC: http://aldi.medion.com/md8349/nl/?refPage=aldi
I'm looking at this one cause its much faster then my current desktop, and I will be able to get my money back without questions asked within 30 days.

So I thought to give mining Myriad a try without having to invest in hardware (or only temporarily), before I know it's fun and profitable.

But...
As i wrote, I have no knowledge of mining. Is this machine able to mine Myriad? This is the processor: AMD A10-7800 Accelerated Quad-core processor
with 3,5 GHz, to 3,9 GHz through AMD Turbo-Core-technology, 4 MB Cache and AMD Radeon™ R7 graphics

If so, can someone help me to set it up? I´ll be glad to pay for the help, in Myriads offcourse :-)

Thanks a lot!

Edit: I also found this, a Butterfly Labs BFL 6 Gh/s Bitcoin Miner, which I can purchase for  €20,-. Seems a bargain, I was wondering if this can be put to work for Myriad.

also this is now up to help miners: http://myriad.theblockexplorer.com/help.php , feel free to add your optimal configurations based on your own experience. the data is manually reviewd and approved.

THANK YOU.

Here's my qubit algo conf file using r9 280x cards...hope this helps.

EDIT: Forget it, I get HW no matter what...forgot what settings I used when benchmarking these algos.

WOW! what a fantastically entertaining and informative guide!

FYI I believe the Groestl algo Myriad uses is Myriad-Groestl and not pure Groestl as is used in Groestlcoin.

Consequently Im not sure whether Myriad-Groestl will take advantage of the imminent 3x Groestl boost buchner recently posted:
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.6220778

Maybe a little help to choose the right algo:

sha256d --> only for asic miner

scrypt     --> only for asic miner / people who don't care about electricity costs

skein      --> amd gpu, they get the most coins out there and power usage is much lower than scrypt (4x undervoltet r9 270 use 453 Watt)

groestl    --> nvidia gpu, thanks to the optimized cuda miner, power usage really low (4x undervoltet r9 270 use 320 Watt)

qubit      -->amd gpu, alternative to skein with lower power usage (4x undervoltet r9 270 use 329 Watt)


sorry for my english, its not my first language.

Spot on Foodies, I forgot to change my config. Thank you.

u sure you weren't mining qubit in your conf ?

Really nice.
Myriad is a clear success. It is my most favorite coin with VTC and even more, because it has less hype to it and more technological advantage.

I was just asking, as all those cheap obsolete ASICs are going to be junk unless they can be repurposed. It'd be a shame to just throw 'em away...just saying.

Just wondering if anyone knows why the difficulty quoted on blockexplorer, which incidentally is same as shown in pools stats, is different to what is shown in my solo miner ie at time of writing solo mining on groestl using config.

As can be seen miner reports diff as 221 but block explorer (http://myriad.theblockexplorer.com/) quotes diff 316.15271549?

yeah, it should work since it uses SHA256. By the way, what is the miner you're considering if you don't mind my asking?

 

Hello guys,I decided to try out qubit but there isn't much info out there.
I've got 2x saphire 7950 and I get 1,1Mh/s from scrypt and 8,8Mh/s Qubit.
I have no idea if the hashrate is about right. My win config file on sgminer is this:


Any help would be appreciated!
