I intend to buy a AMD Radeon r9 280x for mining vanilla coin.
I look for a tutorial that explains how to mining vanilla and how optimized the AMD Radeon r9 280x for 400 Mh / s

Just download Smolen's miner and run it. I wouldn't advise to buy a GPU just now for mining Vanillacoins (or anything else) though, since block rewards dropped to 88 and FPGA's are just around the corner which will be far better in terms of energy efficiency.


But if you plan on buying a good GPU anyway for gaming and etc., go on.

I don't agree, you can find good used R9 280x for funny prices and FPGA miners wont kill GPU mining in terms of hash. The real advantage of FPGA's is in low power consumption which means almost nothing if someone wants to mine with 1 or 2 cards from gamer PC when PC isn't in the gaming purpose use and specialy if someone else is paying electricity bills Smiley

Buying a GPU just for mining right now, to mine VNL, means you'll never see that money back at current valuation and difficulty.

I wasn't suggesting buying 10 cards, but you obviously didn't read what I wrote, but yes if the guy is in buying only for mining and only for VNL then it's better to wait and buy FPGA once the miner is ready.

link for Smolen's miner please Smiley
Check OP? There are all miners listed including Smolen's AMD miner  Wink

pool01.vanillacoin.net - strange pool 
can't remember if i ever saw share counts invalid > valid in such considerable amounts,
and who's that guy with invalid ones all along ...
Yea spotted this sometime back, and he isn't even banned.....
May be pool operator and the developer of buggy miner are the same person, ask John about FPGA Wink

Don't worry, I do read all the feedback.

that's normal: all the faster whirlpoolx miners use cpu to precompute part of the hash, see the public wolf miner for details.
1 CPU precalculation per 2^32 (4 billion) hashes. CPU is wasted either in driver, or in Smelter. Well, with this 100% CPU bug in miner Vanillacoin looks like Bitcoin back in 2011 Smiley

Will ask John if you want, he is hosting the pool.

With this kinda difficulty, even farms should be crying, and I still found a block at 2:45 pm, lol...

on a side note, I measured a system running both with a supercheap sempron and a powerful fx: exactly the same idle power consumption, so no reason to make sempron rigs.

Same with me, my semperon single core gets 100% cpu load and about 400MH for 280x as opposed to 500MH on stronger cpu rig with smelter.

Wiht smelter I have near 1000 MH/s with two 7970:) but with four 7950 my h/r is near 800 MH/s. Maybe it's because on my 2nd rig weak cpu (Celeron 420). Smelter load 80% and gpus load only 53%.

Weird that I'm still so much faster on 270.. Smiley 310MH/s at 1123MHz.

280x is about same speed as you or smolen,  510MH/s at 1150MH/s.

My miner is full sgminer with all algos working, works fine with multi-algo in nicehash.
That's not weird, that's good - at least, for Vanillacoin Smiley
The released kernel (exactly same binary) is getting 543MH/s with 280x, 4 threads, worksize 64, core 1150, mem 500 on Linux. I got last few MH/s by using more registers, perhaps it was wrong optimization for other cards. Old kernel is somewhere in archives, good occasion to implement --kernel switch and release it.

with  270 ~265 Wink

270 is exactly the same as 270X, just binned lower - so I guess smolen was right.

Just heard how Nicehash stopped responding - the fans stopped too Smiley Nicehash is OK now, pool switching got a boost in my TODO list, while it's not ready it's better to use some stratum proxy with pool balancing. I guess Pfool's one will do the job.
