yiimp.ccminer.org, altminer.net, pool.hashrefinery.com all back online. There are likely others, but I haven’t checked them (or they don’t offer neoscrypt coins other than vivo or gun).

hexpool.com still AWOL. So: starting your own mining pool (or public-facing server of any kind) is one thing, but knowing/implementing security in the aftermath of a hack is quite another. That, and having cold-wallet “insurance” to cover losses. ;)

Great, thanks mate. I appreciate the response!

@wrapper but : “Latest commit cd999ea 5 days ago”

No it is because you have continued to ignore the forum code of conduct by going off topic on someone else’s thread and insulted a respected member of the community, after he pointed out, quite politely, you were repeatedly “offending”.

Thanks for all your help, I will try this on a better machine, see how it goes. Thanks for your replies.

@sabre said in help needed getting started:

last year i created a dual boot win7 and os/x system just to see if i could make a mac and windows together worked great actually sold it to someone for like 4000…

If you made a dual-boot hackintosh, you’ve accomplished more technical challenges than a dual-boot lin/win system. :laughing: I’m a heavy Mac user but don’t have the nerve (or need) to do that to my pc…

windows miner, which is already compiled and in the form of an exe file with premade config files for ftc, ltc,dopecoin, through pools and also solo mining so scrypt, neoscrypt, and the other main scrypts…

@AcidD is right — I would also whole-heartedly encourage trying out some distro’s using the free VirtualBox app. If you do want to try Fedora instead of CentOS 7, try sticking to version 21 at most — the latest is f26 — because with f22 gcc5 was introduced and I’ve found it causes errors compiling some miners because they’re written around a gcc4 environment. CentOS 7/RHEL 7 is loosely based around f19, so it’s not that big a jump. Also, Fedora sports a direct upgrade path from one version to the next, which CentOS 6/7 and many other distros do not for which you’d have to wipe/install.

Others here can help with which Ubuntu/apt flavors to stick with. I personally favor Linux Mint Xfce, or Cinnamon if you need a Start-like menu to feel at home.

@ghostlander provides pre-compiled Windows, linux, and Macintosh (:heart: thank you!) neoscrypt-only ccminer binaries that you can mine FTC, ORB, PXC and HAL. ;) (Don’t be concerned that they’re over a year old, they still work just as well.) If you want to wander into other algo’s, you’ll need to wander into tpruvot’s ccminer fork for which he supplies a pre-compiled Windows binary, but the source compiles perfectly on CentOS 7.3 with Cuda 8.0.

As far as pre-made config files, there really aren’t any… because the command line will be entirely based on the pool you’re using. All the major pools (except for p2pools generally) have their config parameters on the site. Solo-mining FTC (and ORB) probably isn’t wise due to current difficulty levels, but you can probably do so with PXC and HAL.

@wrapper can you move it? i created it in the mining section

hey i have the exact same card, can you post your config file settings
i can’t get mine to mine at all keeps disabling gpu
and if possible can you post a link to the miner your using maybe its a different version from the one i have

thanks

@shadow1117

p2pool.neoscrypt.de had disk space problems today, so the pool didn’t work as espected. I assume your worker has a backup pool configured and switched to that.

p2pool.neoscrypt.de is working fine again, and the problem is solved

What happened, did you sort it out?

@bluebox

How did you get on? We did notice one problem p2pool - http://94.242.222.27:19327/static/ in Russia However that seems to be running fine now.

You may also consider you can run your own private p2pool node, and connect on that level (to multiple pools)

@Wellenreiter hmm the /diff setting dosn’t seem to do annything

I’ve never tried the /diff setting, just the +diff factor setting, sorry

@AmDD said in [FAQ] What time is Feathercoin mining fee halved ?:

Halving should fall on July 9th 2017 at about 1AM EST - as of this post.

:)

but may vary, based on the average block creation time. Nevertheless two days before the halving, the day is pretty certain.

Heh I’ve been using @wrapper’s blocktime calculations as well as figures from Bitinfocharts.com to get me a rough idea.

I usually do my math based on the avg of 1 min 3 sec block time… the variance isn’t that wild to be honest, I think even now we have a pretty certain date.

I wanna get to the point where I can screen record/cast the blocks coming in on fsight.chain.tips so we can watch the halving take place live :-)

Well the little variance we have shows, that our efforts to design and implement eHRC were not useless ;)
We have updated the counter on www.feathercoin.com today, so it should be rather precise.
We will update it more often for the next days, until the halving takes place.

@wrapper said in Asus Releasing GPU's For Crypto Currency Mining!:

For :
Efficiency (gives high level of encryption / through put per Watt)
Relatively low cost once produced
Against:
Not reusable to other tasks

Efficiency (gives high level of encryption / through put per Watt): The problem with this is that if the playing field is even for everyone, it does not matter. Its not like bitcoin’s block times have gotten better from when CPUs used to mine, 10 mins is 10 mins… The network used to be able to run on less electricity, now its pulling more then ever. So yeah while you are throwing more hashes per second, its all useless as its based on relative scaling of the rest of the network.

Relatively low cost once produced: Not really, developing silicon is expensive and time consuming weather it be a large company like AMD or small Bitmain. Its not like the ASIC companies are driving the silicon NM shrinking game, the big manufacturers are paying for it and the ASIC companies just reap the rewards of a new generation of chips.

Not reusable to other tasks: exactly and if its found the algo is broken, all of the equipment cant mine the new algo

Sorry, but I can’t give a good advise here, as I don’t know exactly which graphic cards are up to date at the moment and which ones have the best hash per watt power ratio.

I move the thread to the mining area, so it can be better found by the miners and hopefully one of them will respond

@miningdude22
CCMiner has better CUDA(NVIDIA) implementation in my opinion
NSGMiner runns well on OpenGL wich is better for AMD cards

Yay first night after the overhaul in which nothing bad happened :-) made a major release from that:

0.5:
Fixed:
Restarts of miner working properly
Charts not hanging up after a while
Now the ftc chart shows value of FTC instead of your balance (oops)

Added:
Minimum Hashrate for a miner Restart now configurable (Working with CCMiner needs to be testet on NSGMiner)

Messing around is a good choice of words… ive started. Ill ask again in a few days after a few more attempts, if unsuccessful.
