Looks like we have a new gem. I need to get a new miner for Garlicoin

You mean a new rig or mining software?

I'm using ccminer x64 for my nvidia card and sgminer 5.5.5 for my amd card. Totaling about 900 khash with a 1080ti and an r9 390

Hey guys,

do you know anything about the airdrop? I got the news that the initial airdrop was cancelled due to a hug of death but a new one is planned.
Are new dates for the airdrop available yet?

Not yet. We're waiting with baited breath.

Anyone have any better settings for AMD platforms?

I am getting 310 khs with a RX580 using sgminer.

That's close to what I'm getting out of my r9 390. I'm getting about 280, so it seems within the normal range.

What does your bat file look like? I just downloaded sgminer 5.5.5 and it's running at 279kh on an r9 390

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 95
setx GPU_MAX_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 95
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 95
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

sgminer --algorithm scrypt-n --nfactor 11 -o : --p x -I 14


pause

Shit sorry, I lied bro, it's 305, slight oC on afterburner, not sure which drivers. Not 15.12 as the produo they're paired with needed recent drivers.

Alright, looks good! thanks so much!

i get 402kh/s on my 1080 Ti with i7-4790k (20% load)

i also would like to get some coins on Trade Satoshi but that crap exchange seems to be down all the time  Lips sealed

With the bat file, set your lookup-gap=2

should look similar to this:

ccminer-x64 --algo=scrypt:10 --lookup-gap=2 -o ***** -u GYQ1CEvfXXa2nQX8Uu61XUxZfkpxmNJUsZ -listen --max-temp=85
pause

I'm getting almost 600kh

ccminer-x64 --algo=scrypt:10 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.garlicpool.org:3333 -u -p x -listen --cpu-priority=1 --lookup-gap 2 -I 29

My config is fine, if I remove cpu-priority then the rig will eventually crash

I will update when the i7 arrives, from what I remember from early scrypt days processor did matter unlike equihash which is why I have 3 x Celeron

i get 402kh/s on my 1080 Ti with i7-4790k (20% load)
i have an asus rog strix

My config is above and I am using the newest drivers but and I have 2 of those cards, 2 zotac and all can get over 400

Anyway AMD is better for this algo I think, 1 produo = 950khs and a r9390 is 400khs

How is ASIC resistance a bad thing?

Sorry I meant it mostly as a good thing, just listed the pros and cons too closely.

I think it's pretty clear from the start that this coin has really nothing solid in it.
So no high expectations from them.
Maybe for trading purposes only like doge (which you can use to transfer if you want to avoid high btc tx fee), as what you mentioned.
And if there's onion, of course garlic will be there. LOL

Completely agree with you, nothing special yet with hype alone it might become useful for trading. Might bridge the gap perhaps between say dogecoin & litecoin, because there is a major spread there.

It's going to depend on how dependable the developers are & how much hype this coin can get.

So far it hasn't hit any major exchange, started at something like $3 per a coin, now seems to be going around $1.

I can say the draw for me has been the community. I've been involved with crypto for a bit now, but with this one, the subreddit always has questions, and obscure ones, like how to consolidate transactions under one address, and the real effect of having 10k different transactions sitting in the wallet and how that will effect the price/byte of transactions. It has been a fresh learning experience.

And it's fun!

I only found this coin today when a thread from sub-reddit /r/garlicoin showed up on my feed.

There are many things wrong with this coin, for one it's another memecoin, seems to be developed on discord, huge pet peeve of mine, as development is not properly documented on discord versus a forum.

Premined (but supposedly all will be air dropped, good luck trusting that), uses scrypt:10 (more ASIC resistant).

Lot's of basic information is missing on main site and reddit, only this thread provides it.

Seems to have hype, probably a pump and dump situation.

Small chance to be some type of a intermediate like dogecoin to avoid fees on exchanges perhaps?





Well, the premine was microscopic compared to most other pump-and-dump type coins I've seen.

I get the issues with discord development, I generally avoid voice chat and third party chat applications anyway.

How is ASIC resistance a bad thing?

On the flip side, I have seen a bunch of people getting into crypto for the first time, and it's a very basic introductory coin.
It reminds me of years ago, when new coins would come out and there was the rush of excitement, rather than how it feels now with all the mining whales being first on site, a lot of coins not even being minable, or massive ICOs.

This is just meme joke for internal reddit usage. There is no plans for promote it like real cryptocurrency - so dont waste your hashpower for it.  Grin
Unless you want to.

It's a new meme currency created by a subreddit with 130k subscribers. It's for fun.

Getting low difficulty shares 100 percent reject with AMD (sgminer 5.5.5). Anyone having this issue? Have changed nfactor and intensity but still same problems. Tried different pools but all say the same.

Adjust nfactor to 11

Thank you! Working. I guess i didnt try 11. Thanks again.
I had the same issue with my AMD miner but that adjustment fixed it yesterday. Also many pools are unstable, I have stuck to grlc.sexy over the last few hours, it seems like one of the few stable pools. I wasted many hours during the night on pools that would disconnect from my miner with no good reason.

I had the opposite problem with the nVidia, I had to go from 11 to 10. Lost out on a good 5 minutes out the gate with that one.

Loving all the sweet smell of garlic. Been mining it on a single GPU for about 18 hours now. It reminds me of the good old days in 2014. This garlic was organically produced and released. I love it!

How much approx are you mining with one single gpu?

After about 8 hours mining last night with a 1060 @ 224 kH/s I have mined just over 5 garlic coin.

With a 1080ti, at current difficulty, I am mining about 1 garlicoin per hour. I'm pretty happy with that!

Re: What does a President Trump mean for Bitcoin?

Dollar rises together with Bitcoin. I don't know why but gold and silver prices are going down. This means somebody is manipulating that price and one day it'll skyrocket. I have a feeling that a big crash is going to come upon the markets soon. I spoke to many investors and people specialized in Bitcoin and Gold, and they all said something big is about to happen. The real question is WHEN is it going to happen. I think Trump will boost its price.

It is fully expected and natural for the overall valuation of the stock market to drop. If/when the federal reserve interest rate is raised (no more free loans to banks), the risk free rate will increase. This sets a higher performance bar for traditional stocks and securities in terms of P/E ratio. Companies have two options. Increase their earnings, or expect a drop in share price. A drop in share price won't be the end of the world, it just means the stocks are effectively "on sale", and healthy returns on investment will once again be more accessible to the common folk.

The people who will be more damaged are those who bought into value stocks when prices were inflated. These will be companies which don't pay out a dividend but derive their valuation form expected growth.

Re: What happened to quark algo?

Did quark become susceptible to ASICs? It seemed like a solid algorithm. Were there technical issues, or did the coins themselves just never generate support due to lack of continuing development?

Bunch of coins use Quark as a hashing algo and yes, there are ASIC available for it.

How much alteration to the algo would be necessary to make it ASIC resistant again? Would it require a rebuild from the ground up?

Why not just use x11 or 13 instead?

What are the benefits of those algos?

And what other newer parameters like difficulty scaling and such from the last few years would you implement?

Bwahaha what about a reverse PoS where you lose coins?

Quark was massively premined and that put investors off. Other coins like secure coin are using similar algorithms to quark and their networks have been working for years. They normally give their algorithms different names to the quark one but they are essentially the same.

It may have been instamined to a certain degree but nothing like some other coins. It's minting phase was short and the developers although keeping it updated to a certain degree did nothing much with it. The fact it was not premined at all led to the devs not caring about it too much. That stephen guy who used to blast coin releases got a huge amount as did a few others but they dumped it hard at the start too.

As far as I know there are no quark asics but I could be wrong. A few coins are using that algo. Dnet and mue are but mue is changing soon. Quarks algo was good at the time took some time for gpu miners to show up publically anyway.

Shame it collapsed and that all we had was cryptsy really at the time which fucked it all up. Put a lot of new investors off of crypto that came in from outside this board. Bill still was convinced but sadly it was dumped hard. It is all but abandoned and polo and bittrex dont even have it listed. All trade is mostly on btc38.

I guess the question is more about its algo rather than the coin. Some still use it.



That is right. It seems that the Quark is like another scam coin. There is no active development of the coin now.

I wonder what coding developments from the past few years could be added to bring the algo up to date. Things like security, difficulty adjustment, etc. I know the whole "gravity well" difficulty was just taking off when I left the scene.

Great summary! I piddled around in crypto a bit during the first big wave at the end of '13 then came back recently to discover the world had largely changed. I am approaching things differently this time, and rather than focusing on making a quick buck from being "one of the first 5 minute miners of random catcoin" and now looking at things from a developmental angle. I remember quark being GPU resistant at the time, but see that has changed since.

Currently reading the Princeton Bitcoin Book and hoping I can absorb lessons learned and contribute meaningfully to the development process.

Well, problem was solved anyway. I realized I'd just had the wallet on my primary hdd as a shortcut. The bulk of it was on the extra drive that's now going into cold storage.
