CGUI - a control GUI for CGminer
by
duz
on 22/03/2014, 15:51:06 UTC
Hi all,

I'm currently learning Java, and figured a good way to get a bit more fluent with it is to actually fix problems I have.

I currently mine on a single graphics card on my desktop, and I'm constantly switching intensities to make the computer usable/return back to high intensity mining when I go out. I got frustrated with doing this all through cgminer, so started looking into the API, and figured - why not?

I am happy to post source code if requested (but the .jar is unencrypted, so you should be able to check it out yourself)

requirements:

only runs on local machine (can't currently control anything other than 127.0.0.1)
API must be enabled in CGminer, with appropriate access to get status info, and change intensity

Version 0.0.1
Download
features-
does not interfere with other API access programs (CGWatcher)
light & small footprint
displays intensity on start up
displays intensity on button click
changes intensity to the three set values: 13, 15, or 20

would really like to see an 'email when [event]' function, so that I can get notifications of what's going on with my miners on the go Smiley

From https://www.litecoinpool.org/help :

How does share difficulty influence my earnings?
Short answer: it doesn't.
Long answer: a higher/lower share difficulty does not mean you will be earning more/less, because your expected earnings are independent of the share difficulty: they only depend on your hash rate and on the network difficulty. A higher share difficulty can only increase the variance, but not in a significant way.

Thats why I lost 27% of my WU... I call that significant!
because an hour is enough time to tell statistical significance?

I track my WU, normally it's between 1950 and 2250, with the 1024 blocks I'm getting between 1100 and 1600 so yeah it shows.

A lot of the problems started when that other profit pool started to use middlecoin around new year.

It doubled middlecoins hashrate...

Unlucky, my WU is exactly the same

for anyone interested, I'm on the asia server, mining directly connected to my modem/router via ethernet. I'm located in Perth, Australia and my ISP is iiNet..

I appear to have a very good connection..

Not me, I got .0065 per megahash today if you subtract the unexchanged I had left over from yesterday.  And Only .01 if you count it.
ignore the unexchanged balance, work it out from the last few payments of actual btc. No point in doing projections/assesments on theoretical numbers, even if they are very close to being real

My rejection rate it 1.5%

All normal here....


Anyways lets talk payouts, What do you guys think about the last payout?

my last 3 payouts have given me a 0.013/mh average, so I'm quite happy

unfortunately since I'm using some wizard-level excel formulae google doc's can't handle it, and I'd rather not post my full spreadsheet on skydrive. is there anything specific you were looking for?

If anyone is interested, I have been tracking my payments, averaging the last 3 payouts per day, and working out the rough btc/hour values..

Top value can be ignored, that computer goes up and down as it's used for things other than mining so the average will be lower

So if you mine on middlecoin and like to interpret graphs; take a look at http://middlestats.circlestorm.org/

so from what I understand, the change in wealth graph should track how efficient the trading algorithm is, right?

In a perfect world this would be true yes.
If you stopped mining, the graph would show an even 0 if unexchanged coins were being sold at the expected value.
If the graph were to go positive it would mean the coins have been sold above expected price. The inverse is true for negative values.

I practice it will likely be hard to interpret this graph. But (I hope) it will be much more interesting once the prediction graphing is enabled, since
it will allow you to easily see whether it follow the usual (historical) patterns or suddenly deviates from the norm (a deviation would not necessarily mean something is wrong though).

That is a fantastic statistic.. the fact that it appears to have been positive 90% of the time is a good sign Smiley

The only thing I can think would be maybe to have a % value somehow instead of a btc value, as the btc value will depend on the gross value of the pool (sorry if this doesn't make sense, it's before my coffee time)

Hi everyone, long time lurker and only recently registered to post here.
So, I am a linux systems engineer/developer and sometimes I dabble in some hobby-projects for fun, this is one of those. Statistics and graphs are (believe it or not) fun.  Wink

So if you mine on middlecoin and like to interpret graphs; take a look at http://middlestats.circlestorm.org/

In particular the 'change in wealth' graph should be interesting, and the total outstanding btc value graph should be nice to have (top graph, red+orange+green).
My goal has been to provide more insight into the fact that estimated value of unexchanged coins might not always correctly reflect the value after exchange, these graphs makes that part obvious. (Ex: See the Sat 02:00 drop in value when a whole lot of unexchanged coins were sold off at a lower-than expected price).

Mind you, this is a hobby project on a private server, do not expect too much
This site is still a work-in-progress, and it has limited potential given the input data, but it looks nice enough that I figure I might as well let people check it out and use it if they like it.

PS: A few of the graphs will get prediction graphs soon, I just need enough historical data to actually be able to predict something. Smiley

Have fun Smiley

IMPORTANT UPDATE

Somebody has PMed me H2O's personal details including name, home address, where he went to college, a picture of him, and more details on him.

He works as a video game programmer and he plays lots of MMORPG video games. He is 32 years old and lives in California (ANOTHER LIE, he told us he lives in the midwest) His name is Eric. I won't give his last name yet.

This pool is NOT his "full time job" like he said. HE LIED TO YOU ALL. 1 LIE MEANS YOU SHOULDN'T TRUST HIM ANYMORE. He has a full-time job as a video game programmer.

1 quote from H2O on a different website recently is "Video games are pretty much my life right now."

I have sent him a PM to try to work things out. I will give him 24 hours to reply before taking further action.

Jesus Christ lighten up. if he has a full time job that explains the lack of information.... Stop being a jealous douche and spend some time off the internet! You seem like the kind of person who could really use it.

He told us that running THIS pool was his full time job. H2O is full of lies. The house of cards is about to fall.
Oh because a load of information you got from a random guy on the internet is going to be correct XD Even if it is true everyone lies everyday Tongue Hell i know i would to a bunch of random people ive never met and complain a lot if it made my life easier

The personal details they sent me have been verified as accurate. They were very easy to find actually and will be released if H2O doesn't reply to my private message within 24 hours. He just logged in and didn't reply, so I already think he won't reply to me in the future either.

I am still having a huge unexchanged ballance. It's been several days now. Anyone else having this or know how come we are sitting on those coins that long? Is it because the exchange rate of those coins is terrible atm?

not sure why, but I personally am looking forward to the day it gets paid out

My 290 ran at 96C when mining at 820kH/s (the highest stable I could get, but then again my card seems to be a crappy one. Driver crashes alot when i stop mining and restart etc.)
Now it runs at 65C with watercooling and the same 820kH/s. If i increase intesnity the kH/s decreases. Sux...

I think there is a ton of variance in the power / heat attributes for R9 290 cards.

I have two sapphire 290's. Both hash very stable at 875Kh/s with the exact same settings, but the first runs at 73C at 60% fan while the second goes over 95C even with 75% fan, which forces me to run the fan at 90% and temps are still 88C. So

290 #1:  73C at 60% fan
290 #2:  88C at 90% fan

To make it an apples to apples comparison

290 #1:  62C at 90% fan
290 #2:  88C at 90% fan


best settings I've found for the 290's is 1000 engine, stock memclock, and having the cards automatically set fan speed to sit at about 90-93. AMD stated the cards are designed to withstand constant 95 temps, so running your fans high to keep it under 80 is just stressing the fans. It does, however, automatically down-clock based on lots of variables (one of the main ones that caused me issues was VRM temps I think)heat, voltage, and clockspeed are all changed many times per second on a hardware level in the cards, based on an arbritary 'powertune' value. Basically, set powertune as low as you can, while hitting the best clockspeed you can and the card will manage itself (for me, I have one card at power tune 4, and one at power tune 7 to make them both sit comfortably at 1000 engine)

I get 820kh/s on my 290

surely a 290x should be the same, if not higher? and you guys are saying 780 is high?

I'm getting 880 stable on my 290's

The miners I had on the EU server had the flat spot, but the miners I had on the US server had no flat spot, so that might be the explanation

I'm using the latest version. I'm trying to use CGRemote to connect to my miners on different networks in a remote location, but it seems that this feature is broken. I'm pretty sure I set up the port forwarding correctly.

Has anyone successfully connected to a computer not on the same network?

yes

I may be missing something, but is there a way of 'zero'ing statistics without using cgminer?

DOHHH I missed that sorry

EDIT:

But did you see my Immature and Unexchanged? Isnt that HUGE?

nope, immature/unexchanged ratio seems about the same as my other workers...eg http://middlecoin2.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/reports/1Nt9pf45EXaXTqPXBgmBNXNVEteyU9DhNi.html
