You are the best!

I will report how vertcoin performs.

Getting about 81 kh/s on a 770M (910MHZ)  vs 214 kh/s on a R9 270X (which was getting 450 kh/s on "normal" scrypt and 2.9 kh/s on YAC) - Impressive

Any news on the vertcoin issue?
latest github version still gives me the following error:

Unhandled exception at 0x000007F679AD8A64 in cudaminer.exe: Stack cookie instrumentation code detected a stack-based buffer overrun.

Seems something related to cpu memory management.

Crashes with Win and Linux.

I know there are maybe more important things to do but vertcoin is already looking very promising.

Not sure which issue you are referring to ? The post linked to in the post above (yours)  has a working version for windows - there was a slight change for vertcoin apparently.

I see that someone has "released cudaminer" for vertcoin

at least with a better ratio than the buggy AMD implementation vs scrypt - would have been gentlemanly if they had tipped their hat to Christian for all his effort.

It may still make sense to increase the default batch size -b 1024 to something like -b 4096 or -b 8192 when running interactive mode with scrypt-jane. This costs a bit of display smoothness, but adds more hash/s.


Thanks for the tip ! - increased my 770M hashrate from 1.1 to 1.33 on windoze (-b 4096)

Sort of solved my own problem, adding the device flag (-d 0)(-d 1) and running each card from a separate window solved the problem, confirmed increase from 49kh/s to 73kh/s, however I quickly went back to the previous build, as the build from the 18th raised my gpu temps to a high of 91C. I would probably use the new build if this wasn't a thousand dollar laptop.

On a notebook you can use NVIDIA Inspector to set a temperature target for your GPU's

December 26th? That's two days after the Hashcows theft.

Why the hell would he start mining to the same address two days after stealing 40BTC from another coin-switching pool? This bloke's incredibly arrogant, or incredibly stupid, or both. Or is he trying to somehow dilute or launder his ill-gotten goods?

https://blockchain.info/address/13R87ropkDKzDEuVeQoX64kkcLvPWVdTKH
He's starting to spend the funds.

Probably trying to find a soft spot on the other pools ?

The 4GB card will use slightly more power and will probably have less headroom for memory over-clocking.

You will only get 470 kh/s  with a dose of over-clocking.

I run a 270X @ 450 kh/s : E : 1060 M : 1425 (5700)
