Re: Nexus - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come
Quick Noob question: With the new cpu miner is it better to have high Sieve and PTest
for example; Sieve 756000 PTest 815000 or low like below?
Sieve 400000 PTest 425000
Got 2 old computers i'm using and have done research of the miners stats and best settings
But I was unsure on which is better high or low?
Thank you in advance

Thank you in advance
The numbers of Sieve and Ptest represents the average time the miner spends sieving and testing prime numbers in one batch. As a result when you compare a miner between 2 machines running with the exact same parameters set in miner.conf the lower numbers indicates faster performance.
In general the goal is to configure the miner to have the highest WPS. The trick is balancing the Sieving thread and prime test thread parameters in the miner.conf. The optimal values can be different for each architecture, (number of CPU cores, CPU speed, memory speed, hyperthreding, VPC, etc)
The ultimate goal is to have the highest 6ch/m and 7ch/m rate, which not necessarily linear to the WPS indicator. I mean I can configure the miner to have higher WPS but the 6 and 7 ch rate will drop.
Some explanations of the parameters, finding the optimal values and how the miner works can be found here:

Re: Nexus - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come
What does it mean when the blocks skip in my miner output? for example it will show:
1376831
1376833
Where did 1376832 go?
- pokeytex
1376831
1376833
Where did 1376832 go?
- pokeytex
One explanation can be that the solution of ..833 came right after ..832 and the pool or the miner wasn't fast enough to send or receive the notification packet for the new block. This can also happen when the wallet of the pool lags because time to time it's attacked by some nice peoples. In this case the wallet is so overloaded that it doesn't receives in time the new block notification from other nodes.

yup - it would be ...
and a name for the algo it uses - or have a missed that? ...

and tanx - that is so much better than looking for it all in various places - especially since this IS the thread for it ...
i really appreciate that ... off to bed for me now ...

I don't think it has a name - I've always just thought of it as the Riecoin PoW. To my knowledge, Gatra invented it and it's not been used in this specific form before or since. (Which is both nice - since it means there's one place to focus mining for finding huge prime clusters - and also a bit of a shame, since it's a fun one.)
There are some other prime-based currencies, but I don't think any have the same combination of maximally dense 6-tuples, and increasing difficulty by making the numbers larger. Primecoin, for example, increased diff by finding longer chains, and used Cunningham chains, not dense 6-tuples.
I could suggest some names if you needed, but I think that's really for Gatra to do.
Another coin that is in some way similar to Riecoin is Nexus (NXS), which also searches for dense k-tuples for relatively big numbers (1024bit), but like in Primecoin the difficulty is controlled by the chain length and the Fermat reminder.
Re: Nexus - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come
how do you compile yourself on windows? i tried googling it but couldnt grasp it.
There are several guides on the net how to build bitcoin wallet from the source. Nexus can be built in a similar way.I used a couple of guides building all kind of coins and some of them that I remember using are:

Hey,
The link below contains the binaries of the Nvidia GPU solo miner I'm using lately.
I've modified a little to print out some useful info, and it may have some minor speed improvement.
Source will be also committed to my repository soon.

Re: Nexus - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come
Anyone, please help! Can't open sln file of nvidia miner. VS 2015 rejects it with no extra info 
Probably Missing CUDA project type support in VS2015. If you right click the project and do a reload you'll see the error message.
Try installing this: https://developer.nvidia.com/nsight-visual-studio-edition-downloads (with all the prerequisites)
You'll need user and password to download which you can just get from here: http://bugmenot.com/view/developer.nvidia.com
Re: Nexus [Niro] - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come
Someone please help compiling window CPU miner. Miner updates block info too rarely. New compiled release may lower pool loads
I couldn't agree more. This is the bug that I fixed a few weeks ago, but I have not been able to get it compiled on Windows. It won't reduce the pool loads, but will increase the shares found for windows users. If anyone has a mingw64 environment configured with boost (which is the bit I'm struggling with) then let me know!
I can compile it for Windows. Can you please point me to the exact git repository?
Hey Mummus! Good to hear from you. I have it compiled now, but I am seeing a strangely high PPS rate (like 2500+ with 4 threads, instead of an expected ~200ish). Another user confirmed the same result. I've run some debug tests and it doesn't seem to be finding any more shares than one would expect though, which leads be to believe it is a problem with the timers on Windows (or my specific installation of mingw64). If you can build it though to see if you get the same results I would appreciate it!
https://github.com/Nexusoft/PrimePoolMiner
Hi,
I'm using cygwin to compile it. Back then when nexus (coinshield) started I've made some test and it performed better.
Here is the link for the binaries that I've built form the git repository https://github.com/Nexusoft/PrimePoolMiner
https://mega.nz/#!7Z0RCZxC!0lXTS_9lMri07VuCA3dc4g8SrX-3qv-DWxCzYHDddqI
But I had to make a little modification in the miner.cpp. I had to revert back a modification of the declaration of bit_array_sieve that was made in commit: https://github.com/Nexusoft/PrimePoolMiner/commit/7c509609b7ae19870720de71b0b2cfe44a5fc756
Code:
- unsigned char* bit_array_sieve = (unsigned char*)malloc((nBitArray_Size)/8);
+ unsigned char bit_array_sieve[nBitArray_Size/8];
Without this change the miner exists with segmentation fault after the first new block.+ unsigned char bit_array_sieve[nBitArray_Size/8];
Is it possible that the root of your PPS rate problem is the same?

Anyone solo mining this with a GPU? Just wondering how long to find 1 block with a 280X?
On my 750Ti with 22Mhash/s the average after 3 days is 0.2 block/h
Re: Nexus [Niro] - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come
I have very little knowledge about computing compare to some of the people here, how the fuck an average mortal can setup the prime pool miner to mine some niro? At current levels of difficulty more or less how many blocks can I mine per day with a 4th gen intel core i7 and 16gb of ram?
Solo mining for niro is probably the easiest coin to setup solo mining for, problem is with current difficulty on prime channel it may take days to find a block with your cpu. If you want a more consistent payout you should try the pool.
With my Core i7 3770 i can find about 10 6 chain prime clusters per day. This means that with difficulty hovering around 6 i can have at least 2-3 blocks a day. For example right now I'm running the miner for 4h 40min and found with it 2 6ch primes and one of them was a block. So go ahead and try it.

guys's on what chain height is your wallet at the moment?
nexusoft.io/platform/ is around 626,419
my wallet and a few other peers are arround 627.603.... am I on the wrong chain - again?

Hi, I have 3 wallets and all of them at 627,647 at the time of writing. nexusoft.io/platform/ is on 626,427
Hello,
i have some coins on Cryptsy, is it possible for me to send these coins to my own wallet? (if the wallet is getting freed up by Cryptsy...) I am now synchronizing the Boostcoin wallet on my computer. I have about 2 á 4 active connections to the Boostcoin network.
Is this a wise thing to do, or is the Boostcoin network forking if i do so? Should i wait until there is a Boostcoin update available?
Or can i forget about the coins on Cryptsy(?), those are goners...
Maybe Cryptsy is doing a "touch-and-go", let's hope so...Than there is still time left to salvage the coins of everyone who still has them on Cryptsy.
I have been sending messages to BTC38 support to adres the problem regarding the Boostcoin network; I guess that if there is an utility to Boostcoin that the value of the coin also is becoming greater.

I also have a significant amount of BoostCoin on Cryptsy and I have a synced wallet on the same chain, with 11+ connections and with at least 4 connection to up-to-date wallets.
A couple of days ago I made a test transfer out from Cryptsy successfully, but depositing to BTC38 doesn't works because they are on a different fork or their wallet doesn't operational at all. I'm still keeping the coins at Cryptsy until maybe BTC38 will decide if they are willing to accept a solution to get the network back on track. The chances that it won't be resolved and we lost these coins are very high.
Thank you
As far as I can see Cryptsy and btc38 are on diffrent forks?
But wallet on cryptsy is moving instead of btc38 where wallet stuck/stop moving in november

So maybe we can convince btc38 to get in sync with us. Maybe mammix2 ?

Hi,
My BoostCoin Wallet is in sync now with 8+ connections and I see that blocks are generated constantly. I was able to withdraw a small amount from Cryptsy to my wallet. I've also tried to deposit to btc38 but didn't worked, but the deposit to btc38 was always problematic. I had to open a ticket every time I've deposited there in the past.
Is it safe now to use our wallet to move coins or we are on a wrong fork? Basically I would like to move out all my coins from Cryptsy and deposit to BTC38 and keep some in my wallet to secure the network. Any advice would be appreciated.

Re: Nexus [Niro] - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come
Choosing 3 days for expiration, rather than 21. It's a balance of security and also usability. Anyone disagree?
Thank You,
Viz.
How about 7 days? I have had issues with phone line where it took 7-12 days for a tech to come and fix the issue.Thank You,
Viz.
I also think that 3 days is too short. I use to have 3 wallets online and about 2 weeks ago I found all of them on a forked chain. Until I realized and fixed them by re-syncing all of them at lease 3 days have passed. Of course I lost all my trust keys. Syncing the whole block chain is still painfully slow. Now I'm saving a periodic bootstrap both for linux and windows version of the wallet. (
Re: Nexus [Niro] - Pure SHA3 + CPU/GPU + nPoS + 15 Active Innovations + More to Come
Collin is the only developer, and is doing an excellent job in delivering features as per roadmap considering he is just one guy. He also seems to be a real investor if you consider the time he puts in and also the creation of nexus inc. There is plenty of transparency for Collin but definitely not alot is known about the real investors. If you do "dumprichlist 50" in wallet u will see a range from 4.1mil to 100k niro who are these people? I am one of the ones on the lower end of the list it does seem to me there is alot of holders and alot of ppl in the community who simply mine and hold their coins. Price has been stable around current level for most of the year give or take a few spikes but who are these "real investors" and what actually constitutes a real investor?
