Thanks, I'll tweak my settings some more... I'm not going to run the miner from the link you provided, it immediately set off my antivirus and a quick search of the offending program name didn't net the "bitcoin mining software" results required to ease my suspicions

I tried one gt710. Getting about 1kh/s and taking power 24w. You can get 1.08 kh/s if overclock it.

Oh I'm not a newbie, I was around when the coin initially launched, I just left crypto for a while. I got the miner working again, thank you for the links... now my question is, is this average for two sapphire R9 270x or do I need to tweak my settings more?

does someone have a link to the GPU miner for this? I seem to have lost it and all the copies of CGminer I can find dont appear to be working with this...?

Thanks for your answer @usukan! I want to help, even is just spreading the word here and there about Ultracoin. Have a lot of friends over crypto, ahh and btw if you need devs or people to help come over thecryptochat.net you'll find a lot of great people and good devs over there. Cheers and power to the UTC!

Hi Kiddo - yes we already have a Twitter     https://twitter.com/official_utc?lang=en

back in this ANN I explained that Rapture333 was to take back the lead after I resurrected UltraCoin from its slow death by bugged wallet - but unfortunately he was too busy.
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18844684

I'm too busy too - but I agreed to try and manage in a caretaker role until we had some interest from a new team.

Currently we have Java.dev working on the new light wallets with Rapture333 (Steven).  I must admit the progress has been slower than I had hoped for.  We have paid Java.dev for this work so I'm going to be DARK if it does not come to satisfactory completion.

When you see me (usukan) post - you should read as "Official UltraCoin Team" - its just that I have that particular login profile secured on a computer in an office in the South Pacific and I don't often get home.

If any of you guys want to join the team and help - or indeed you may want to take the lead - so to speak, take the reigns.  Please step up - we will be glad to assist with this.

Cheers - usukan

Indeed the coin have some cool feature, too bad is dying... Maybe you guys can list it to novaexchange (where is easy to get you'll need 250 votes) and for this you can make a bounty. Also a slack or discord channel will help and also a tweeter account or facebook is helping a lot. Good luck with the project!

Is there any twitter account for ultracoin, to tweet updates of this project? I think this project needs a push-up, a new ann thread and a new ann thread (i see that the "Official Ultracoin Team" is inactive since May,20), the site also needs a facelift. I can help with some graphic design for the ann thread and a twitter account for updates.

Maybe we can make some promo, giveaways and such.

All other dead coins revived this year why this amazing coin with unique features dosen't? We need to gather some community members arround the project.

Thanks! 

These values are direct, per card, from the miners.  Pool rates tend to vary, but average about the same.

Will update when I get a GT710.  This may not be for awhile, though.  If someone else gets one (they are everywhere, and are not especially expensive), use the Cudaminer version referenced above.  For first run, let it autotune before setting permanent config, then experiment from there. Post your bat info (minus acct. info).

Hi

Are these hash rates from pool end or from miner?
Thanks!

I made one rig with one gpu  (two years break). Waiting more information (GT710) and then I am going to buy more gpu's. Pool is working and no problems at all.
Seems that low end cards are mining quite good. 

Scrypt-jane algorithm is really undervalued.

Very good release.Good job man.

UTC hash rates for hardware in my rigs (@ Nf = 14)
R9 270X 4GB: 2.23 Kh/s x3 ( -I 9 cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-sj0.03)
HD 7950 3GB: 1.15 Kh/s x2 (-I 8 cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-sj0.03)
R7 240 4GB: 0.837 Kh/s x6 (-I 9 cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-sj0.03)
GTX 750 Ti 2GB: 2.20 Kh/s x1 ( t64x1 cudaminer-2014-02-28)
GT 740 1GB: 1.30 Kh/s x1 (k4x25 cudaminer-2014-02-28)
GT 720 1GB: 1.13 Kh/s x4 (t17x3 -or- t26x2 cudaminer-2014-02-28)

Also investigating viability of the GT710, as it reportedly hashes 50% better than the GT720 @ the same ~19W TDP.  The card is laughable for games/graphics performance, but has potential for UTC @ Nf=14.  If my test GT710 holds up, I will be creating some super-cheap 5x rigs.

 

Thanks for the info. Most of these things I already knew, I've been mining (heavily) for past 5 years.

Could you post some reference hashrate values for cards you own? Scrypt Jane algorithm is far away from the spotlight. With Claymore miner for newer algorithms you can't influence hashrate with some settings as it was the case with older algorithms. And without some reference values it's hard to say if everything is working as expected.

Edit: room for tweaking is very limited. I get around 550 H/s with -I 8 and 1.05 KH/s with -I 9. Still, with -I 9 some of the cards occassionaly give HW.

Rig with 6 x 270 draws around 330W from the wall, much less than 580W while mining Zcash.

This seems to be very strange algorithm. Type of card somehow doesn't affect hashrate. My 280X and 270 cards give same hashrate with same intensity settings. That explains why that tiny GT720 with -I 9 also gives 1.1 KHs.

Performance across brands can vary.  R9 270 is not the same as R9 270X.  2gb  vs. 4gb can have an impact.  Many variables.  I have some HD 7950s that under-perform on higher settings.  Yes, not entirely the same case, but it gives me some ideas. 

First, try a very basic .bat to check what your baseline is:

     cgminer --scrypt-jane -o stratum+tcp://utc14.yacoin.club:3413 -u [change to your worker name] -p [change to your password] --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax 14 --no-submit-stale


Then try this (just add -I setting) to see if things improve:

     cgminer --scrypt-jane -I 9 -o stratum+tcp://utc14.yacoin.club:3413 -u [change to your worker name] -p [change to your password] --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax 14 --no-submit-stale

Finally, try this (settings about 50% of the original .bat info posted):

     cgminer --scrypt-jane -g 1 --worksize 128 -I 9 --thread-concurrency 8192 -o stratum+tcp://utc14.yacoin.club:3413 -u [change to your worker name] -p [change to your password] --sj-nfmin 14 --sj-nfmax  14 --no-submit-stale

A couple of things to really pay attention to:  Intensity (-I) and  --thread-concurrency are great for augmenting hash performance - to a point.  Too high will greatly slow down, or lock up your whole rig.  -I too high will also generate hardware (HW:) errors.  Lots of HW is wasted hash - you are just heating the room, not solving blocks.

Every rig is different.  Experiment, and use whatever gives you the optimal result. 

I tried these settings on two of my R9 270 rigs, and both froze within few seconds. I tried -I 5 on seconda rig, but it still froze.

Edit: mining started when I changed to -g 1, but I only get around 550 H/s with R9 270. That seems quite low compared to 1.1 KHs with GT 720 you mentioned.

Hello, regarding on ultracoin


For the ultracoin on the Waves platform, its another coin? or its the same coin as ultracoin itself which the supply is share within both waves blockchain and ultracoin chain itself?

Thanks

Purpose is an opportunity that can be drawn on if the community wishes to.

Android, iOS wallets, desktop lite wallets, tradeable on DEX to other currencies and FIAT  etc

I think there is no ultimate predetermined purpose - its just given to us by WAVES platform and its up to us to use it as we think is best.

Cheers - usukan

Just an observation RE some efficient hardware:

The GeForce GT 720 will hash UTC @ ~ 1.1 kh/s, drawing 19W TDP. 

In your .bat, use hardware config (-l) t17x3.

These are selling for around $30 USD on ebay.   Great for an inexpensive UTC starter rig, or if power costs are a concern. 

*This info is for UTC/scrypt-jane/scrypt-chacha coins only.  These cards will fry if you use them to mine a coin with a more intensive algo. 

Hello guys! Well I'm a little bit confused, what is the purpose of the UltraCoin Token? This project will be developed further or the Waves token? Thanks!
