Would it be possible that KBomba give us a new release of Profitability Calculator ?

Thanks, I use your incredible app every day even if nothing really worst mining for now
Busy, busy ^^" I'm working on making it possible to add custom algos and coins, so you won't have to rely on me to add algos or on coinwarz/whattomine/etc.. to add coins, alongside loads of other improvements, ofc.

Would it be possible to add curecoin? I can find calculators for mining, but not for folding.

Edit: I found one, https://cointweak.com/calculator/coin/cure/FAH

Thanks for your hard work!

I've been folding for Curecoin for almost a month now, and I can tell you that that calculator isn't too accurate. It shoots a little on the lower end of the average Curecoin payout you'll get. It does give you a good ballpark estimate, however.

It seems like the difficulty threshold on suprnova being as low as it is is tripping their share spoofing detector or something... I only get about a minute and a half where the miner shares are accepted (both with djm's miner and nvMiner-D7), and then every share is rejected.

Edit: Seems the suprnova guys are onto the issue! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=713003.msg8089093#msg8089093

Edit2: Seems they overshot on the difficulty... A bit too high for my rig at least.

I get about ~90 Mh/s on my 780 Ti with nvMiner D7 when mining Doomcoin on suprnova, but ~114 Mh/s when solo-mining. It looks like the drop in hashrate is because suprnova has tweaked the difficulty level for shares accepted to a relatively low number, which causes a bit of instability.

I know this really doesn't have to do with ccminer discussions as much as nVidia mining/hashing in general, but I figured a good deal of people come to this thread to discuss the most profitable way to use nVidia power, so here goes: I've done a little trial run over the past day and a half of using Folding@Home to "mine" Curecoins, and I'm getting a pretty good payout (payout should be at about 30-35 or so Curecoins/day for my card's PPD; roughly 0.0035-0.0042 BTC/day at the current rate).
It certainly doesn't hurt that my GPU is folding proteins and helping researchers while using all that power, instead of doing random hashing, but even without those considerations, the profit margin speaks for itself (for reference, Bombadil's profit calculator shows my 3 most profitable mining options at: {TAG: VEIL | Name:Veilcoin | Algo: X13 | BTC/day: .00316889, TAG: PP9X11 | Name:Multipool X11 (PP) | Algo: X11 | BTC/day: .00302276, TAG: XMR | Name:Monero | Algo: CryptoNight | BTC/day: .00215359}).

I get about 250k PPD with my 780 Ti and i5-4670k, so folding might be more relevant to single-card/gaming rigs moreso than pure mining rigs, but looking into F@H couldn't hurt for other kinds of rigs (I'd be interested to see what a full 750 Ti rig with a mid-range processor could put out in terms of PPD)!

At this point I'm starting to think I'll just forget about that part and start looking if there's something else to be improved. I'm still curious as to how it runs on other hardware, so if a couple of gents on Win boxes with something else than a 750 Ti in would be willing to take it for a spin, I'd appreciate it. I've added the number for SMX/SMM/Whateverthingmabobs into the miner thread start-up info, you'll probably find your card performing best when the block count is a multiple of the SMX count and the number of threads a power of 2. 4/8/16/32/64 are the best bets.

https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight/releases/download/v0.15-rc1/ccminer-cryptonight_20140723_exp.zip

Improved hashrate of about 70H/s on a 780ti. Up from 320 to about 390 (using 8x60). Also doesn't seem to hang and bring the system to it's knees when using all GFX cards.

Seems to be in line with the ~18% improvements I saw when benchmarking only the AES part of the kernel. Have you tried other configs? 390 is still pretty low for a 780 Ti, I think people were getting best results with 4x120 on the 780 Ti.

Getting about 420h/s with 4x120.

I'm getting 505-525 h/s (short run just for benchmark) with my 780 Ti Classified with 6x120 (up from ~475 h/s on the 6/30 release of tsiv's cryptonight ccminer).

bigjme, while cudamining.cc is getting updated, could you take a look at the configurations page? In the short form, a few of the stats (hashrate, voltage/OC) get messed up and don't display the correct numbers (the long form works fine).

the short form get the average numbers from everything posted, so if any of the user submits are wrong the average is thrown off a lot. So it does show the correct numbers, just not compared to the original users post

Ah, I see. I think the pre-Killer-Groestl-update submissions for relevant algos are probably not accurate anymore; maybe some culling of old submissions is all that's needed.

Try using -f 256 on suprnova. -f 32 on hashharder seems to also smooth out the shares a bit.

Edit: Seems that hashharder might be having issues, even if shares show as accepted in ccminer. I would stick to suprnova for the time being, as the expected payouts with -f 256 are much higher, and the pool-reported hashrate is much more accurate (reflecting a more accurate sharerate).

Only Pool that doesnt give rejected shares for CCminer is HashHarder !
Suprnova and Harcore lots of rejected with ccminer with nvidia cards.

Yup there seems to be an issue currently with nvidia, can you try to use

--diff-multiplier 256 ?

that should get you accepted shares

otherwise stay on hashharder, they're doing pretty well and its vital to the coin to level out hashrates

Tried -f 256 for mining on suprnova; seemed to help, as I'm getting accepted shares there now.

not sure whether ccminer for fresh version not working properly or pool not working.

Pool showing less than 1 mh. Something like 80 kh per 750ti
pool not working properly
it shown mine as 1.4 Gh for 4 750ti

Solo-mining seems to be working fine in terms of the rate of shares being submitted, unlike with the pools.
The problem I'm having is that the fresh-ccminer only submits what seems to be one share a minute, or a share as soon as a new block is detected, and most of those shares (if not all) aren't accepted.

Attached is nvMiner or otherwise known as ccminer 1.2U-B (U=unified)

Same as the last version but with possible improvements to CryptoNight
https://ayarscloud.tonidoid.com/urljfz5fy

If you run CryptoNight can you try this version with and without your usual -l and let me know what hash speeds you get?
Also what cards you have?

Have fun,
Carlo

Thanks for putting this all together in one package!

For CryptoNight without the launch config, nvminer gave me 64 blocks of 8 thread (8x64), and gave me about 385 h/s on my 780 Ti Classified. -l 4x120 gives me 475 h/s, for reference.

Nice.  So 4x120 on the 780 TI gives you the highest rate?  Could you do me a favor?  Please do a "cut and paste" of the specific way the card is shown. Examples:
GeForce GTX 750 Ti
GeForce GTX 660
GeForce GT 740M

Could you also try 4x128 and let me know the hash rate you get with that?  I think block sizes of multiples of 32 are closer to optimal.
Here is what I've found from testing:
GeForce GTX 750 Ti  8x96
GeForce GTX 660  7x96
GeForce GT 740M  9x64
Default for unknown cards 8x64

I'm still testing different variations but those are the best I've found so far.  If anyone has any better configs I'm all for trying it and can make it the default for those cards.

Carlo

Whoops!  475 h/s was actually at -l 6x120.

Did some short-run testing (FWIW, my rig is running on 8 GB of RAM and on an i5-4670k @ 4.5 GHz.):
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 6x128 : 450 h/s
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 4x128 : 430 h/s
GeForce GTX 780 Ti 4x120 : 440 h/s

I might do some more testing at a later date for higher thread numbers, but, from what it looks like so far, other choices are still more profitable for higher-end cards (like the 780 Ti) to mine.

Well at least it's crashing straight into the ground where it belongs. So sick of these PoW+PoS scams where the devs lie about the premine. The bottom line is the guy premined 6% of all PoW coins...which means at launch he also receives ALL of the PoS...which just leads to a loop of compound interest. The premine probably put him at 40%+ by the time he first started selling. Clueless suckers. Same scam over and over and over. He'll probably release his next one tomorrow (if it isn't already out). Man are people around here gullible, greedy losers.

Quick solution so that you don't get mad at these "scam coins" and "lying devs" - don't mine coins that you don't like, and keep track of devs. If there really is a "lying dev", don't mine the coins he releases. Investigate the premine blocks and verify for yourself they are the correct amount.

There's really no reason to be upset if you don't mine what you consider to be "scam coins".
There's a certain amount of risk that lots of miners toe the line on these days, with tons of new coins and new algos flooding the space, that the next coin they mine will leave them holding the bag instead of making a profit, and if you don't want to toe that line, stick to the established, "safe" coins.

Anyone played around with the launch config stuff for the TSIV version? I'm finding that 4x80 is far from optimal on certain systems. 6x60 gave me about a 25% boost on a GTX 770 and GTX 780, which on a GTX 860M 4x40 basically tripled my performance (from 50 H/s to 170 H/s). It would be great to hear what others are seeing with the -l parameter.

-l 4x120 gives me 420-450 h/s on my 780 Ti on today's release from tsiv. Lots of posters from the earlier release found good results with -l 8x60 on 750 Tis, but my GPU lost performance or crashed for the same threads x blocks with any number of threads that isn't 4 (i.e. my GPU didn't like -l 8x60 or -l 6x80, and got worse results, or crashed, on these launch configs).

I'm assuming you are on windows. Sounds just like what I experienced when I was running it on windows, I'm running the same card. In order to fix the crashing you can apply the tdr delay reg workaround at the link below. After I did that I was able to run at 6x120 which I found to be the best for the 780 ti. That should give you an additional gain. Let me know if you try it.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=656841.msg7529269#msg7529269

Thanks for the suggestion - up to 450-475 h/s range!

Getting about 3100-3150 kh/s on the x15 miner on my 780 Ti Classified from the binary linked earlier ( https://mega.co.nz/#!8AMnjSiL!ksUru2G5fOYTeDPvL-hwStr_utlUnC-ST0hvUFHensE ). Pretty solid.
