Feathercoin is going up like a rocket

seen 2848 and rising on bittrex

at 18:26 cest it peaked again at 3000 wow

Hello,

i’ve shown some of my Work in my introduction Post but now since this baby is slowly growing and some People are interested i make a separate Topic for this.

Please feel free to leave a report of any bugs and feature requests you might have.

Features:

• monitors your miner and restarts it if there are problems (hung, low hashrate…)
• compatible to p2pool, coinotron (more will come if you tell me which to implement)
• can observe ccminer, bfgminer and nsgminer (many more if they have the RPC API of bfg or i add them)
• shows your current wallet balance and the value of feathercoin in any desired currency
• has some nice charts for your miner
• Multi GPU (shows each GPU individually in the chart)

Here is A Picture of the current State:

current “stable” release : https://github.com/shadow11177/ccminerGUI/releases/tag/0.5

A link to the Source code can be found in my signature:

[FAQ] How do I solo mine Feathercoin?

It is not recommenced to try mining solo unless you have a lot of hashing power like 8x GTX1070 or something in this ballpark otherwise its very unlikely that you will ever mine a block by yourself and yo may wait long periods without gaining a block.

All you need is:

Your Feathercoin wallet (feathercoin-qt.exe) fully synced

A feathercoin.conf file in the data folder of the feathercoin wallet with this contents(wherever you installed feathercoin\data\feathercoin.conf):
you have to have the wallet running while mining!
restart the wallet after you have created this file:

server=1
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=0.0.0.0
rpcport=9337
port=9336

A fairly recent version of ccminer (rename .exe file to ccminer.exe (i didnt test others))
i am using this one (ccminer_cuda75.exe):
https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-sp-neoscrypt/releases/tag/1.5.79-djm34-edition
and a .bat /.cmd file with following content:

ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -i 22 -o 127.0.0.1:9337 -u user -p pass
pause

The screen should look like this:

Hello,

im new to crypto currency and i had quiet a joy of fiddeling around with the different mining software and things…
i went from having around 30KH/s to something around 500 with my GTX 970 (even hit almost 1GH/s but with ridiculous power cosumtion and a Bluescreen(yes im on Windows) after a view minutes)

im currently using ccminer and building a small gui that keeps an eye on it and shows me some graphs wich i like so much.

it is very buggy but at least more stable than the ccminer :-) btw. here is a picure of it:

i bought a view feathercoins last week by buying bittcoins on blockchain transfering them to bittrex and changing to ftc and let it pay out to my local wallet was a piece of cake i lost about 2€ in the process (the biggest fee was euro to bitcoin) bittrex only takes 0.2 ftc for a payout

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)

@wrapper
im currently working on rpc client and cleaning the code,
adding coments and so on…

next version will be compatibe to p2pool, coinotron for pools
and bfgminer, ccminer, nsgminer and all other miners based on bfgminers rpc api (as soon as it survives one night)

@aciddude the stuff shown in the console while the miner is running

@wrapper i didnt expect someone to actualy test or even use it but i would be pleased if someone would try

i will start document my findings and methods and cleanup the code so atleast that may help someone with a bigger project to implement my work

@aciddude its quick and dirty try reading the code than you will understand

btw. is someone actualy trying if this works?

@aciddude as i said multi gpu support added ;-)

@aciddude just fucked this together in a vew hours its polished like a stone found on the ground after an earthquake or something else wich reveals realy dirty rocks ;-)

but maby if someone wants to i can add features to it. as long as im so addicted to this mining thing of course.

Hello,

Sounds an interesting project, I’d recommend Github so we can have a look, let us know the link when you get it up. What’s the links for ccminer?

https://github.com/shadow11177/ccminerGUI/

will be the repo for the GUI as soon as i have removed my login data from it and made a config file

the ccminer im using is
https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-sp-neoscrypt/releases

i have removed the need for a GTX970.
i still have to fugure out how to remove the ned for a JQuery decoder and custom calsses for the coinotron API.

here is a screen of the progress i made (i removed a bug wich could freeze the system if coinotron dosnt answer to an API call while the minter is hanging, added a chart for the last 5 min average share rate, removed a bug wich caused errors and stall bars to be gigantig in width)

@wrapper, @Wellenreiter did my first commit so if you want you can try

@Wellenreiter said in New Miner with an Idea (or kinda Project thing):

Welcome to the community
You gui looks nice :D

yes i like it too, im currently thinking about making it more versitail so if someone likes it he could use it.
at this point it only supports ccminer with gtx970 on cointron pool with my api key.

oh and my ftc wallet and only EUR conversion

@Orgest i am not willing to spend money specificly for mining, but my gaming rig wich is running 24/7 annyway is doing a pretty good job with about 650KH/s. i am thinking about putting in a 2. graphics card at least i can game with that setup once i dont like crypto annymore. :-)

@Moonman its just a game for me i investet about 3€ or 4€ on my electrical bill so this rise is paying out so far, i aquired some skills in the past i like this trading game type stuff somtimes i just buy 30 or 50 euros for forex or cfd trading and quit as sonn as i have lost all or won 10x of the investment :-)

but this crypto currency market is completely crazy… at least its slow so reacting is easy

woo if this round pays out i have beaten my mining rig with trading :-)

ok i 3dprint a phoneholder now my arm is getting tired holding my phone for watching AOE2 livestreams while watching FTC rise to the stars

@Wellenreiter i think i copy that into the mining section as how to solo mine?

Oh sorry guys didnt notice that here is a post with people having this problem (i helped @milkeyway over pm) shouldnt use mark all as read :-(

a feathercoin.conf file (wherever you installed feathercoin\data\feathercoin.conf) in the data folder of the feathercoin wallet with his contents: you have to have the wallet running while mining and restart the wallet after you have created this file

and it should look like this:

or use my gui ;-) if you know your pool addres, your wallet addres, the place where you extracted ccminer and just put 15 for intensity everyting is fine

Hello,

im new to mining so my question is what is the best pool to mine in.

i had a pretty rapid learning curve the last week as i just wanted to fiddle around with crypto currencies so i googled and landed on coinotron.
there i started with LTC wich came out to be not very profitable for me, next i tried doge wich wasnt better. i tried nearly everything they had to offer until i reached ftc wich was the first one to serve my power bill and even give a little profit.

now back to the topic is coinotron good or schould i switch to an other pool?
