Mining SIA coin to Burst
-
@stupendelious Thank you! I have already done that a couple of times... Profitable, yes.... Just with the right timing!.....
-
@IIOBrocker hmm to be honest I kept mine very simple follows and downloaded from here http://cryptomining-blog.com/8121-siacoin-sc-stratum-mining-pool-now-available-in-beta/
here is my bat file
sgminer -k sia -o stratum+tcp://sia.suprnova.cc:2786 -u crutsy.1 -p x -I 20
Your picture shows that you are trying to mine lyra2re thats vertcoin. -k or --kernel is the algo your mining change to "--kernel sia"
-
@crutsy Okey, seems like ur answer are right. Let me check it, and bdw thanks you for reply.
-
@IIOBrocker for sure man! The other settings may help fine tune it later but it's so new... When I used to be a serious GPU miner I would have a long .bat
-
@crutsy Take a look of my screen... My PC never worked so much at the same time... xD
Since i couldn't do the right bat to run the miners that I've founded, came back to the first mining app that I've found when first met mining and already mined ~540 BCN i intend on exchanging that to bitcoins or monero and maybe i will play a little on Polo and can make that multiply in some Burst at each week or each month. You can also run monero and much more coins...
Also I'm running this Minergate app for android in my mobile phone and one Samsung Galaxy Tab since this morning in the same account and works with no problem.
If anyone uses this app on android go to "Programming options" (If you don't know how to enable it go to youtube...) -> Activate "Stay Active" (Your Phone never shutdown the LCD meanwhile is charging), Activate "Forcing GPU proc." and Activate "Activate 4x MSAA".
If you want, and i think is the best thing to do, is monitoring the GPU and CPU at least in the beginning for you to understand how the app work and if you could run it at the max... Go to "Programming options" -> "Show CPU Usage" and in "GPU Proc. Profile" put "show in LCD as bars or as lines"Besides that is running 3 surf bars at the firefox and as you can see doing plots upload to the Google Drive continues... 2 hours and 4 minutes until the next one is finished.
Just wanted to share with you xD
Happy Mining!!!
-
Impressive!
How are you running 3 surf bars? You have multiple wifi or IP's?
-
@crutsy no... not Burst surfbars i forget to mentioned it... I will not talk about that ones until i know if they pay... only left somedays until i know if they pay so... if they are paying i will post here too...
-
@crutsy and in the minergate app they say that you can connect to other pools only with scrypt algorithm, so later i will try to connect to that SIA pool and with one NOTE pool too...
I readed about the Gridcoin too, but i don't know if i understand it for now so i will not talk about that...
i think this are important coins right now and they could all give a good heads up if i exchange all to burst in a month or two...
-
@gpedro Keep in mind that a lot of those coins and algo's are not very efficient and can be hard on your hardware. SIA it probably not very efficient with the gpu. Just doing it while there is a 20% bonus
-
Sorry if this is off-topic, but I am mining LBC at the moment, and with my nVidia 860M I am able to mine about 1-2 coins per day (40 MH/s). With the current price of 0.0009 on Polo it's giving a nice return. :) I downloaded the miner from here: http://cryptomining-blog.com/8125-updated-ccminer-1-8-fork-by-tpruvot-with-lbry-support/.
I'm mining on the suprnova pool for LBC.
-
@Propagandalf Good to know! Another guy on here had an 820m chipset and was having trouble with sgminer. Would be interesting to see if you can mine SIA just to see if your card works on sgminer.
-
@crutsy @IIOBrocker Isn't sgminer for AMD cards? Ccminer is for nVidia as far as I know!
-
@Propagandalf To my knowledge, and its been a long time. CGMiner is AMD but SGminer should do both.
CCminer is the best by far for nvidia, but not built for SIA yet.
However there is a Cuda version already, but not as fast as sgminer.

that guy was me... xD
@Propagandalf you have GPU-Z installed? Could you put here a print so i could compare with my 820M? Also your batch if you can...
-
@gpedro
Here you go, mate. This is my setup for LBC mining - I haven't tried SIA yet (but I have bought some coins, hehe).For those unfamiliar with suprnova pools: You have to register a user account on their website in order to create a worker and worker password, and that is how you get your '-u' and '-p' values for the batch file (u=username.workername).
-
@Propagandalf thanks mate i will retry later today with that miner but my batch is like yours so...
And my card is like half of yours...

-
@Propagandalf @gpedro here is a new miner for nvidia

@crutsy Thanks, mate! I am downloading it now.
EDIT
I went from 40 MH/s mining LBC to 44 MH/s. That's a 10% increase, which is pretty nice. :)
-
@crutsy I've just had a go at this after reading your post. It was a little trickier to get in and working than Burst that's for sure, but looking at it, I really like their approach with offering online secure storage. Which is a total bonus, because if this thing cooks my card (which it's really trying hard to do by the way) then I can always donate some spare storage instead to generate a few SC's ;)
Either way, next time BURST is under review on one of the trading platforms I should at least have a few coins in the bag to help bump things up a little!
So for now, I'm getting ~900MHs with Sia and it's heating the front room nicely...lol Thanks for the pointer crutsy :)
