So I saw an article just now about 2 hours ago, 1st iteration had the coin at .30 then I click another articl and its at .45 then another and .55 and needless to say I just bought a bit at some .75.

What I am here to ask is those who see this at .20 and so on, and this post here only 2 pages long for a coin that is not tradable on Coinbase.

1. Where do they come from out of the blue
2. How/where can I have higher visibility to these types of coins?

I have mined for 3 years now, only broke even and speculated in a lot of alt coins of which most are no longer in operation.  What makes a coin go from unheard of to Coin base material in a day it seems like.  I know that is not the case but what am I doing wrong?  Any feedback welcome and I am no complaining, just curious, where do we find the birth ground for coins that can be Coinbase material.

Hello Dev, used PM for years now, its great, thanks you.  I did notice that -proto2 "5" is not available.  I dont know if this is intentional or if proto2 was just overlooked for StratumV2, or "5".  Please add if viable, thank you.

Dev, if you could answer this real quick on your next post I would appreciate it, just one sentence if you can.  The other thing I did today is I grabbed about 200 MB of log files and threw all of that data into Excel, some 900k+ lines, I dont think Excel would even let me use al of the data I grabbed, and needless to say Excel did not like it.  So I sorted all of my found shares and block found difficulties for the past couple of weeks.  My highest find was 455 TH, so half of a PH, or 1/6 of the way to finding an Etheruem block at current Difficulty.

While fighting Excel through this exercise, aside from making a macro I can run to truncate, sort and filter of all the logs, would it be possible on your end, as I have no idea, to display the highest Difficulty at the end of each round?  Not just shares or blocks found.  But once a new block arrives a snap shot of the highest reached difficulty is shown.  I guess that would never be higher then the coin's current difficulty as you would have found the block, but still if working on a high difficulty coin it be nice to see how high you got for each block.  But then that raises the question, OK after the end of block X, I get to say 1.2 PH, thats great and then the block ended and a new block arrives, if on a pool this would have almost guaranteed resulted in a share right, but you would have shoot through the share difficulty and still been going up to the block difficulty, so the block end highest difficulty is still valid.

But for those of us who only solo mine 99% of the time, we don't have pesky shares to deal with and then if at the end of each block we can see how high we did get or even a this is your block height and this is the current block  difficulty...You achieved 32% of the block.  (actual difficulty/current difficulty).

Just thinking about this, I have no idea if you are even able to capture then end of block highest GPU difficulty achieved, but that data would be real awesome to see and look through.  See how close we get to hitting an Ethereum block.  Calcs tell me  my own rig(s) is 72 days, even made my own calculator, all tweaked out and it says same, but to watch the progress as it works would be awesome!  Anyways, just some thoughts.  Great miner btw thanks a ton.

   

Hey Greg,

So from your image everything starts to go to shit when you DAGup as I like to call it.  Your move to DAG 188.  You wouldn't happen to be on 3GB cards would you.  I think DAG 188 is or near the ohh shit 3GB done for range.

Remember PM auto generates a DAG +2 each time, you can disable this but you maybe pre-hitting that coins cutoff for your gpus memory size.  If you have 4gb or higher cards then have you tried the follow:

  -lidag Slow down DAG generation to avoid crashes when swiching DAG epochs
      (0-3, default: 0 - fastest, 3 - slowest). This option works only on AMD cards

My gut is you are on 3GB cards and for the coin you are mining the DAG has gotten to high.  You will need to find a new Altcoin to mine with a much lower Day, to DAGdown to.  Like Pirl or Callisto or Whale, whatever you favor.  Thats my guess, would like to see the 1st screen of PM after you fire it up to see the card details.

So I have a very basic question I would like to verify.  Say I am Mining EtherGem solo through Geth.  That coin Difficulty goes up and down and right now it goes from 700 MH to about 1.2 GH Difficulty.  When I login to my miners and see a miner that has been for like 5 days and it stats the highest difficulty level for found block and it states something like 120 GH, why does it have a result that is some 120 x more difficult then what is needed to win the block?

And is that what that does mean, I found something in the 5 day period at 120 GH?!  If so that is pretty awesome, if that si what it means.  Thank you.

Hello Developer,

Great miner I/we really appreciate the work you have put into it.  With that said, I have been using PM since 2.2 I think, although I do like the auto -dcri feature Claymore uses now, so I do cheat every now and then and sneak back to Claymore, it's like an old dirty whore, you know, anyways end up going back, well maybe not, anyways, I digress...

I would like to request an expansion of a current feature.  Your -coin feature is great but I only solo mine to geth and with that said I typically solo mine the lower difficulty coins I think might have a shot of increasing in price, someday.  With that said, you do include a few good coins in your -coin feature but if you could include ALL coins on the Minerpool.net splash screen, that would be great!

https://minerpool.net/

This would provide a much greater DAG coverage for that feature, I know its pretty miner (pun intended) request but maybe someday, it would be nice to have more coverage.  Thanks again!

 

Childish bickering.  Glad I never mined Ella and glad I wont be mining this one.  Back to the others.

All the same thing anyways, be nice if someone really did something meaningful, this isn't it.  Ill keep my 11% worth (dev coins per mine) of work for a coin who has an actual goal and not the same as 15 others.

Please add Mix Coin to your available coins under the -coin feature.  Thank you.

Dev, solo is here you da man!  BUT I do have a couple of comments:

1. Your example at the top of your 2.7c release says -coin Vic and Akroma, but down in the list you don't list either of those.  Can you please amend or tell us a full and accurate list of coins that work under the -coin feature please.

2. I am using drivers on my AMD cards that run like a bat out of hell speed wise on low DAG coins but once I go back to high DAG coins it goes to sheet.  But I only mine low DAG coins so it does not matter to me.  But an issue I ran into is that I have all along used -minspeed in clay to reset my miner and re-apply my OCs when they fail and whatnot, but because the dev DAG is high by default, the -minRigSpeed calculates the devfree speeds into its feature, thus, unless I mine a -coin I cannot use -minRigSpeed because the DAG lowers my MHS during the devfree periods and calls up my -r function.  Even though my own mining is at a nice and high tweaked speed.  Clay does not calculate the DevFree periods into the -minspeed totals.

3. I am switching to solo Vic now so will try the -coin Vic to avoid the DAG switching high and impacting the -minRigSpeed mis-calulations for a work around for now. (more of a statement).  My last coin was not available under the -coin feature thus I could not use the -minRigSpeed feature and had numerous OC drops were I went periods un-optimized by a card or two.

4. Am I wrong or is the capitalization for the command lines are required.  If it is spelled out as -minRigSpeed in the instructions then you have to use -minRigSpeed as -minrigspeed wont be recognized.  Seems kind of trivial and I am sure causing more folks then just myself a headache.  unless I am wrong and this was just a 4AM sleep issue.

I had this happen once last night and once today, latest released version 2.7c.

Come on folks, Vicex.io vote for Mix everyday, we need only 33 more votes to reach the 200 needed to be added.  this is huge to get on what I hope will be a very active exchange.  please vote every day, support your coins!

https://acc.vicex.io/signup.php?invite=79adefb7-dae2-48af-99cf07707033

Please vote, once we get to 200 the coin will be added!  Lets get it added before they stop the voting process!

Works like the platform does for any other coin using MyEther Base.  However, in the top right there is a drop down, you need to click that and then select the second from the top I think, it will say MIX Network.  Then you can see any MIX coins you own and all that jazz.

Anyone have a CCex invite code please.  it looks like they have opened back up, not sure when as I last checked maybe 3 days ago?  But you need an invite code, anyone please post their code so new folks can join up.  Thank you.

Ya folks, upvote the crap out of this coin.  We need this on exchange that is open.  It being on a closed exchange is not good, as you can see from the price history.  Vote once a day and lets get some price movement!

Hey Janding, I happened to re-read this looking for something else and I now see what you mean.  You were correct, I apologize I missed that and mis-read your comment.  The Dev did state that solo was not active in 2.7a, sorry for shooting you down you were right, I was wrong.  Thanks alot for the help pointing it out!

last line add the word PAUSE, this will keep window open and you can read what the issue is, why its closing on you.

Ya me too, I just relized I had this issue too.  So I have auto shutdown enabled and when it reboots it startups with my OC settings and then it runs the miner.  If I am not connected to that computer, active user it hangs right when connecting to server, as soon as I make the miner window active, say 20 minutes later, I gget 20 scroll of errors and all kind of mess going on.

If I am logged in as the reboot happens and the window is active it does not hand after 6 cards available...connecting.

I think this is the same issue, active window hangs.

Ya that is the original statement from like the 2.3 release.  I have been following all along and the Dev said he would try to get solo/geth/parity mining out with 2.7a, thus the question to confirm that it is not working as I don't want to troubleshoot something if it is still not available.  Alot of past release notes are no longer valid when there are 5 or 6 releases since.

I just tried it and no go.  Please confirm that solo mining/direct mining to geth or parity remains a non-feature with 2.7a.  Thanks.

Solid bro...I used to love Minerpool, I use their 100 MH comparison page twice a day, love that.  But man they add one new flaky coin a day now!  Its unreal, where are they hooking to find all these sleezy coins?
