burstcoin-jminer v0.4.10 - GPU assisted PoC-Miner (All Platforms)

@luxe @eneloop @ChuckNorris There's definitely something to this chunkPartNonces tweak...
13 x 8TB drives, GTX 960
Tested each scenario back and forth over a dozen rounds or so:chunkPartNonces=381440, avg ~790, eff ~300, round time 32-33 seconds
chunkPartNonces=960000, avg ~840, eff ~440, round time 30-31 secondsJust a second or two faster, but I'll take it. :)
EDIT: Also tried 1920000 a few times, but saw no difference to 960000.
-
@sevencardz , try 524,288 see what you get??
13 x 8=104.
104 x 4096=425,924.
2^19=524,288 (I like powers of 2).

@eneloop said in burstcoin-jminer v0.4.10 - GPU assisted PoC-Miner (All Platforms):
@luxe It looks like 'chunkPartNonces=960000' is already a really good number. How did you estimate this number for my setup?
It was just the number i use, too ... some other like the above also reported this range to be the 'golden' number. So it was just luck ... i saw your ram usage was very low and due to you had all optimized plots ... increasing chunkPartNonces would make sense.
The perfect number for sure depends on hardware/gpu used ... thats why i wrote in miner config ... everyone should play with that value in 160000 steps.
-
@rds tried for my setup ... was few seconds slower than 960000 ... fear your formula is a little to simple, due hardware should have influence.
-
@rds Yeah, I just tried 524288 and that put me around 31-32 seconds. Maybe a bit faster than default (more testing needed), but I'll stick with 960000.
-
@sevencardz , when I ran my test, and yes I realize each system would be different, I picked the setting that used the least ram and still had the fastest time. Anything above my number still produced the same times within a few seconds.
-
@rds Well, a few seconds is a lot of time if you add up every single round you mine. :) For me, the times fluctuate 1 - 2 seconds from one round to the next, so it's hard to judge from just a few dozen tests whether the tweak did anything at all. Better to take the average scan time over 100 rounds or so for each chunkPartNonces, but I'm not going to bother. I've never seen a scan time below 30 seconds with all 13 of my drives until I tried the 960000 value, so I'm keeping it.
-
@sevencardz , that's my point. This observation is over 5-10 rounds. 1-2 seconds means -1 once +1 next even next. My point is I don't want to eat up extra memory for what is probably a negligible gain.

Hi all,
New to burst, trying to figure out if I should use blago's miner or jminer. Both work.. but I can't tell which is more efficient for me. Is there a simple way to figure this out? There's a lot of numbers and I'm not really sure what all of it means yet. I just want to mine most efficiently. Currently mining around 7.5 TB on a 4 GHz Core i5 (OC) with a GTX 1060 3 GB card.
I believe I should be using jminer as it is GPU-accelerated but almost everyone on pool.burstcoin.party uses blago.
-
@minsc_tdp, use jminer, GPU-miner - faster than CPU-miner
-
Thanks blago. Why do you suppose so many people are still using blago miner? It's like 98% over on the burst party pool.
-
@minsc_tdp How about try creepMiner :-)
-
@minsc_tdp blago's great if you have good CPUs and Jminer if you have dedicated graphic cards. Creepminer is also very good. I must say all miners are great :) Thanks @Blago @luxe and @Creepsky!
-
Is creepminer available for Windows also or it is Linux only?
Whats the Advantages from creepminer over the other miners?
-
@Marc it's available for Windows as well

-
To use it on windows you need to have the Visual C++ Redistributable packages for 2013 and 2015 installed.
-
@vExact thx.
U know does it have any advantages reg. read speed or other advantages when mining between 30-100 TB or is it just neglectible at those plote sizes and Advantages only come into Play beyond that?
-
@Marc I don't have such plot sizes (15 TB atm), but reading speed for me is at similar level as with Jminer. You can play around in any case with its parameters (e.g. 'MaxBufferSize' and 'mining intensity') to get the best reading speed depending on your hardware.
-
@luxe please take on this one, seems to me, that my deadline never got confirmed. Is there any resend method available?

-
@Zaziki No sorry, currently deadline on pool mining will only be committed once to pool, if it fails (or no confirmation) miner will inform you like above.
Was that a particular case or do you get this warning over and over again?
