Is it possible to add --nfmin --nfmax and --ntime command line arguments?

That would enable this miner to work with any scrypt-jane coin. :-)

+1

Much more people could use your miner!

Glad to have another miner on the coin

My Xeon isn't very impressive either. It's 24 cores and tops out at 1.5 KH/sec - the newer generation of CPU's are just so much more efficient and faster that I don't even use it right now.

Well, thanks for my 3 blocks so far

.

Is there anyway on your cpuminer release to see current difficulty and best share?

I have plans and thoughts on converting the interface to be more akin to YACMiner (GPU miner) using curses, but I just haven't gotten that far..

The webpage denotes the right NFactor (which is what is important for determining hash). It's possible that was not the miner they were using, and it might have been the 64 bit version or something. I strongly recommend using the latest CPU miner here : https://github.com/Thirtybird/cpuminer/releases. It supports stratum and also has the optimized scrypt-chacha routines mikaelh authored.

You will see a performance increase by using the x64 miner so long as you installed Windows x64. For the i7 3930, you'll probably be best off with the AVX executable. You'll have to experiment with the Xeon though - but my guess would be the minerd-corei7 will work.

Woo-hoo!! That miner gives me 1.32kHs on my Core i7. (and 0.8kHs on my Xeon as well).

Thanks a bunch!

So I'm running minerd_scrypt_jane_x86_avx.exe on 2 machines:

1) 4-core E3-1240 (It's a Xeon Sandy Bridge running at 3.3ghz)
2) 6-core Core i7-3930K, overclocked to 4.2ghz

However, I get the same hashrate per core on both (0.06kHs/thread). How can that be?

Also, my specific Core i7 model is listed on:
http://yacoinwiki.tk/index.php/Mining_Hardware_Comparison

and stated as performing at 1.2kHs in total.

I'm using the exact same miner, but mine totals 0.72kHs. Is my configuration wrong, or is the site out of date perhaps with regard to current difficulty?

Checking here

http://yacoinwiki.tk/index.php/Mining_Hardware_Comparison

I see absolutely another results for i7-3770S 4 : 0.53 KH/s minerd_scrypt_jane_x86_avx.exe
thats same CPU miner, right?
Why here you have ~500 Khs with same CPU and listed in wiki so low results ?

Or I miss something?

I still not sure you've finally grasped that the hashrate goes down as the N factor goes up and you cannot compare someones hasrate even from October to the hashrate today. Undecided

I'm not sure how else to descibe it to you. Perhaps you should go read the wikipedia page on YACoing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacoin and look at the network graphs on YAC Explorer http://yacexplorer.tk/graphs.htm. That hashrate is probably a tad low for that CPU, but that could just be because that person is running the x86 version of the CPU miner program, and it might not be the one with the optimized scrypt jane library - I don't know, it wasn't my edit. All I can do is try to give you correct and up-to-date information.

Thats right,
but I mean difference when I use normal cpuminer and downloaded here.

As I understand from the topic, this one should to give more high hashrate.

I have another result: normal miner giving more high hashrate then this one

Your post where you're seeing 7KH/sec per thread is using a miner that is NOT mining YACoin - it is using a different algorithm and won't ever solve a share. I've got a 24 core Xeon server and it generates 1.5KH/sec total (so about .06 KH/sec/core)

The latest CPU miner compiled for Windows is posted here http://github.com/thirtybird/cpuminer/releases/ and performs better than the ssse3 posted here thanks to some optimizations to the library another dev did.

Also, check your CPU against the list posted here http://yacoinwiki.tk/index.php/Mining_Hardware_Comparison if you think you're getting 30KH/sec from your CPU (or even your GPU).

Thanks so much!
LOL will go to get correct CPU and will put inside miner Wink

But also question:
I tried also to run GPU miner listed on YaCoin website, it also not working with my 7870 card, giving output 1KH/s only, not 50KHs or 100Khs as people writing
Sad

too bad...
Or maybe I need to compile code on machine where I want to use it?

Nothing is wrong - you're comparing mining scrypt based coins with mining YACoin. YACoin has an increasing number of iterations in the hashing algorithm represented by N, which increases periodically (currently 14 - litecoin is fixed at 9). The more times through, the more memory it requires and the longer it takes, hence the decreased hashrate you're questioning. Everyone mining YACoin is affected, so the playing field is still the same - the difficulty is MUCH lower than litecoin or digitalcoin, or worldcoin, or whatever coin you might compare it to so people are still able to find a block in ~1 minute. Your hashrate of .12 khash/sec per core is pretty good actually - especially for a laptop!

for more reading on how this coin differs, check the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yacoin

I did something wrong or my CPU not supported with your program?
Thanks!

I'm not sure I'm seeing what's wrong? Are you thinking those numbers are wrong? They're slightly low for that CPU (I have a 3610QM), but it could just be which package you're using. The latest CPU miner is here : https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.3901104. For your CPU, use the "minerd-avx" executable. Your rate per thread should be .09-.10 khash/s. My recommendation is to run the number of thread equal to or 1 less than the number of threads your cpu has (I believe you have 8 also?), so "-t 7" or "-t 8".

On top of it being the better performance for your CPU, it also supports stratum, so if you're mining at coinmine.pl, configure it for stratum for fewer stales!

Thanks for reply,

yes 8 threads. And also I just checked with CPU-Z it show processor support AVX.
Using normal CPU miner I have about 7 khash/s - 8 khash/s per one thread, so using 4 threads I can run it with ~30khash/s.

Found your program was really wonder that possible to do CPU mining with ~200 - 300 khash/s.
Now trying to check what can I get with my CPU too

With normal miner I have:
