Here's a comparison of my Ryzen desktop pc and i7 mini pc. My mini pc is better on both metrics - hash/thread and hash/watt.

CPU                                       CORE     THREADS   CLOCK   TDP (WATTS)*         RAM               RAM SPEED       OS                   Miner            HASH/S     HASH/THREAD   HASH/WATT
Intel i7 8750h (Mini PC)          6         12           3,200        45                 Dual 16gb         2,400               Ubuntu 18.04   Rhminer 1.3     2,200         183                       49
AMD Ryzen 1950X                 16         18           3,600       180                 Dual 32gb         3,200               Ubuntu 18.04   Rhminer 1.3     3,100         172                       17
                                 
* CPU Power Consumption only (excluding other PC components)

The Ryzen desktop is actually quad channel, 2 more ram sticks should get me to 5,000 h/s. But still the i7 8750h is more power efficient.

reposted from Discord.

Hi community,

Every blockchain needs a proper explorer and we know we've been behind in that matter - well, apart from that the wallet is already a full featured explorer from day 1 ;-)

Therefore we are happy to announce the new PascalCoin web-explorer at http://new-explorer.pascalcoin.org/ !

This is a public beta release, so expect some hiccups throughout the beta phase. This beta-phase shouldn't take longer than 2 weeks and will then replace the old explorer at http://explorer.pascalcoin.org/.

Regarding the hashrate table, are you referring to PascalCoin or Pascallite?
Because PascalCoin is no longer using Pascal/SHA256d algo.

It might mislead people, thinking your hardware can mine PascalCoin.

1.3 doesn't detect any devices on windows (system with amd card)
rhminer is for nvidia devices only, no support yet for amd cards.

Isn't 1.3 CPU only? So it should not care about a GPU and just run regardless?
your bat file looks like this?
:start
  REM Mining on mine.pool.pascalpool.org with four CPU thread
  rhminer.exe -r 20 -s stratum+tcp://mine.pool.pascalpool.org:3333 -su ACCOUNT.0.WORKER/EMAIL -cpu -cputhreads 4
goto start

yup, the same, except it just exits without any message

rhminer -completelist
rhminer -list

also return nothing


1.2 runs fine, but its significantly slower

Maybe someone from the discord mining channel can help you - https://discord.gg/RVcEpF9

Hi,

I'm new to all this but have got a a couple of old servers mining plus my desktop.  My problem is that rhminer is not finding my GPU.  I've checked it's supported and it is (GTX 770).

When I ran the rhminer -list command all I got was CPU information and when trying to run using the GPU I get a message something like -gpu is an invalid command.

Does the card require a specific driver version?  Any help would be much appreciated.  Smiley
What rhminer version are you using? rhminer 1.2 release works with gpu.You may want to check the discord for help on gpu mining. But don't expect too much hashrate from gpu, PascalCoin randomhash algorithm is designed to be cpu friendly. Even a midrange intel cpu beats a gtx 1080ti.

I'm surprised that the PascalCoin still exist, where's ann thread for PascalCoin, and which exchanges are supported PascalCoin nowadays?

Here's the Ann thread - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1583719.0
But you may want to check the discord, that is more updated with the current developments.
And RandomHash is the new algo, to move away from the dual mining ecosystem and make it more cpu friendly coin (hardfork was last November).

Besides Polo, there are also a number of exchanges that are now supporting PascalCoin, https://www.pascalcoin.org/ to check the list of exchanges.

And just recently - open source mining pools (we have now 2 in operation).

The project is progressing quite good my friend! Be sure also to check out the PascalCoin Improvement Proposals (PIPs) to see what's coming more in PascalCoin. Smiley

For those who want to know RandomHash, below is taken from the website - pascalcoin.org.

RandomHash - GPU & ASIC Resistant Hash Algorithm

PascalCoin adopts a low-memory, GPU- and ASIC-resistant hash algorithm called Random Hash - the first of its kind - that fully preserves mining decentralization. Random Hash is an innovative, "high-level cryptographic hash" algorithm that combines other well-known hash primitives in a highly serial manner. In addition to RandomHash’s serial nature, it is branch-heavy and recursive which makes PascalCoin optimal for CPU-only mining. RandomHash is designed to ensure PascalCoin remains a globally decentralized network that runs well on low-end hardware.

Technical specifications for Random Hash can be found in the whitepaper.

@tlaskows

Thanks for finding the 2 blocks! 🙂

But why switch, you are still better by 7%.

How can we keep u there?

You guys can check PascalCoin.

Here is a mining comparison of an intel cpu with nvidia gpu.

CPU                                   OS           Threads       Speed (h/s)
i5-2400 CPU @ 3.1 GHz        Win10         4                 791
Gtx 1080 11gb                    Ubuntu      400               400

Your eyes are not deceiving you! A mid range intel cpu beats a high end gtx 1080!

What coins is this miner for? Just Pascal?

Yes, the rhminer is just for the RandomHash algo used by PascalCoin.

No other coin is using the RandomHash algo - it was invented by one of the devs. It’s a cpu friendly algo, a mid range intel cpu can beat a gtx 1080ti.

You can give it a shot and mine here - pool.pascalpool.org

There are believers of PascalCoin, who will support the coin in any way they can. : )
