Okay I'm looking at the 5-chains/m and chain/d stats in debug.log.  I can tweak my settings to either get higher 5-chains values OR higher chain/d values.  So which should I be looking at, i.e. which is it better to have higher?

The chains/day estimate is an upcoming feature added by Sunny King. It's a probabilistic model that is supposed to give a more realistic measure of the actual chain finding performance. Right now it's not producing fully accurate estimates. On testnet the estimate was at least 12% higher than observed rate. Assuming that the model is correct, you can still use for comparative purposes including tuning the parameters. There were a few issues with the model earlier but I've been working with Sunny to fix them.

In short, chains/day should be the best performance metric so far.

a dual core i7 laptop and two weeks of non-stop mining, and i got a block ! woot. now i just have to wait for the price to rise again. Smiley

ypool might get you 2+XPM/day.

no more than 0.2/day I think

I'm averaging 2+XPM/day with mumu's latest miner. It's well worth a shot if you're not hitting blocks solo. They now have a system that runs like PPLNS. His new one uses mikaelh's updates as well.

It uses gmp?

Yep, they added it a week ago:

Got home from work and did some preliminary testing (Data is very rough due to short testing time, though both CPUs are Q6600's with 8GB ram):

Baseline C2Q(40 hours):
11.5kPPS, 60SPH, 4.3VPH, 235-5ch/h, 17-6ch/h, 1.5-7ch/h
-s 200000 C2Q(1 hour):
15.9kpps, 44SPH, 2.3VPH, 140-5ch/h, 14.6-6ch/h, 0-7ch/h
-s 400000 C2Q(1 hour):
14.3kPPS, 65SPH, 2.9VPH, 270-5ch/h, 17.5 6ch/h, 0-7ch/h
-s 600000 C2Q(1 hour):
13.1kPPS, 49SPH, 2.6VPH, 232-5ch/h, 6.33-6ch/h, 1.27-7ch/h

I was about to start -s 800000 when I noticed mumus put out V4.

WOW! what a change.  The 4 systems went from 90k to 105k PPS, but I still dislike using that as a guide (test 1 above proves more PPS doesn't = more SPH or VPH)

So, combined SPH went from 380 to 460.  VPS went from 19.2 to 42.3 (only 90 min into run, so these may be artifically high due to luck), 5ch/h went from 1549 to 2810, 6ch/h was 104, now 246, 7ch/h from 8.1 to 19.

Looks like I will have to restart testing tomorrow after a good burn-in of V4, but I'm still making XPM.  Currently up to 20.38, if I am reading forum time right, that's not quite 7 XPM in the last 21 hours.

All I can say at this point: THANKS mumus!

no more than 0.2/day I think

in 25.5 hours I went from 5.28 to 13.66 XPM on ypool.  4 systems running mumus' 3.0 miner.  With the pool miner I had a total of 11.5k PPS, mumus says I'm getting almost 90, but I think the calculation is off.  I compared Cabin's miner to mumus' and the SPH are very similar.  Haven't tried the pool miner for shares, but I see they have .35 out.

You had a SUPER lucky streak then. You're the only one reporting these large gains. I am using Mumus' miner over 5 machines with slightly less PPS and in 25.3 hours made 0.933045 XPM. Hitting high share values has a lot to do with it. I wouldn't expect that your trend to continue.
I may have had a little luck, current amount is 16.67...(~3 in the last 12 hours?) PPS seems to be a BS stat to go on now, but here are total running avgs across my machines: 380 SPH, 19.2 VPH, 1549 5ch/h, 104 6ch/h, 8.1 7ch/h, PPS 81k.
Since 19.2/380=.05052, which is 4x the 5ch value and .4 times the 6ch value, I have not had 'super luck'.

I think too many people are trying to pump up their PPS values at the cost of either shares or share values.  It's obvious we need a new metric to look at, PPS is not it.  I think a lot of people have used something -s 100000 to maximize PPS at a loss of VPH.

11.5kPPS = 4.3 VPS on a C2Quad, 15kPPS = 5.4 VPS on an i7, 27kPPS = 9.2 VPH on i5 2400, 28.2k = 9.7VPH on i5 2500k.

From these numbers, it appears the C2Quad is doing best on VPH/PPS with stock settings, maybe the others need some tweaks.  I have a second C2Quad running YAC, maybe it's time to switch it over and do some testing since I have a baseline to compare against.

i have 1 cpu, a 3570k, i average 1-4 coins per day and i have been mining for  5 days so its not luck for the most part, you just fucked up your settings somehow

I'm not a programmer so I hope I just implemented your suggestion incorrectly.
You did not...
try this:

Code:
unsigned int nSolvedMultiplier;
if (nBiTwinSeq % 2 == 0)
{
  nSolvedMultiplier = nFixedInverse;
}
else
{
  nSolvedMultiplier = nPrime - nFixedInverse;
  nFixedInverse = (nFixedInverse * nTwoInverse) % nPrime;
}

Nice one, thanks.

you could also try this optimization: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.2829191
the else could be optimized too
in your case, if nBiTwinSeq is odd, you could do
Code:
nSolvedMultiplier = nPrime - nFixedInverse;
instead of
Code:
nSolvedMultiplier = (uint64)nFixedInverse * (nPrime - nDelta) % nPrime;


I tried your modification, but something went hilariously wrong.
