i am trying to be an early adopter. i have a few questions. first of all, i am mining 2 gpus solo with a 12 thread processor. my average daily credits is 2700 and i have 11 threads devoted to boinc. my boinc processing power won't go above 65 points. this has been 100 fairly consistently until i decided to take a few days off with my rig. i have not had syncing issues so long as i kept up with all the updates and addnodes. my questions are these:
1. what can cause this to stay at only 65?
2. can someone please explain the scrypt sleep? does this mean when my sleep is on that my hashing is doing nothing?
3. does closing the mining console have to hide command prompts? i have other things running in command prompt sometimes and these get hidden as well. it would be helpful if the mining console only hid process that it started.
thanks, and good work so far.
Scrypt sleep allows our network as a whole to be more efficient. Sleep causes your GPUs to sleep when your leaderboard sleep level is below the network sleep level.
Team, answer the rest.
Thanks. I get the idea that it will prevent orphans, but what I don't understand is that when my GPUS are in "Sleep" is that it continues to hash and continues to draw a lot of energy. Is this true? I thought the point of Gridcoin was to not be a drain on environment and give miners a reason to hash. Could it shutdown the miners completely and not draw any power, or this getting a little too complex? Or am i still missing the point.
