Adding Lyra2z, Timetravel, and Cryptonight to CPU mining

[ZeddieXX]

There are more profitable coins to mine on CPU besides the ones you've currently enabled, according to your API sniffing script.

I enabled all of the algos that JayDDee's CPU miner can mine and tested it out for a few weeks now. Here's my findings:

Your default algos for CPU mining puts Yescript at the top most of the time, but after enabling other coins, Lyra2z comes up on top more than half the time. Cryptonight comes in 3rd, but will need you to use cpu-affinity to get the best performance on Ryzen CPUs. I haven't tested on Intel CPUs, but I'd expect that simply halving the threads work best for Intel CPUs with HT.

Timetravel comes in 4th place, but better than Xevan in the profitability contest.

My current list goes: Lyra2z Yescrypt Cryptonight M7m Timetravel X17 - needs a very fast CPU, so may not be practical to enable by default Bitcore Xevan X11evo - needs a very fast CPU, so may not be practical to enable by default

Can you enable these coins by default? Here's my settings, if that helps: "bitcore" = ",d=0.02" "cryptonight" = " -t 16 --cpu-affinity 0x5555" # Threadripper 1950X "lyra2z" = ",d=5" # Difficulty might be ignored - more testing needed. "timetravel" = ",d=0.5"

For CPU detecting and populating the right settings, you can probably use this in your script: http://web.inter.nl.net/hcc/J.Steunebrink/chkcpu.htm

I used it to detect the CPU and choose the correct optimized cpu-miner before I started using Nemosminer and Sniffdogg.

If I have time, I can see if I can script something out, but not right now.

Yes I will add very shortly.... I'm thinking you are using avx-sha for Ryzen?

cause then I could just make a new file for it

Thank you so much!

[ZeddieXX]

yes, actually cpuminer-avx2-sha.exe.

BTW, what does this mean?

SniffDog sniffs 0% and upto 43% more profit than the fastest (listed) miner:

Sniffdog.. sniffs out! 16.97692 ±47% (11.55138-24.95076) {Ccminer-krnlx-, JayDDeecpuavx2-} 13.98225 ±0% (13.98225-13.98225)

it's a variance checker... not many miners know that pool profits and pool luck can fluctuate wildly.

Also, can be an indicator of when profits are starting to drop off from that algo... you will see more yellow

Ideally, if you see no yellow, then your miners are building more profit than Sniffdog(that's a good sign)

Ok... your file is uploaded into Master copy

Also added yescryptr16 Yenten to your list (zergpool added)

Enjoy!

[ZeddieXX]

Excellent, thanks!

PS: Found out I could get away with getting rid of the difficultly setting for Lyra2z. I originally based it on MPH, but I found out zerg and zpool can go lower, so it's better to just leave the diff setting out and let the pool sort it out.

ok done

Hi, is there a way i can tweak algos, pools, so i get less yellow in the variance info ? If i enable all polls/algos, still getting the info about 10-40% more profitable choices. Another thing is, how can i find out, which is the better algo/pool ? Info only states there is one...

[Sniffdog]

that all depends on how many rigs you have... if you have a lot rigs you can choose which pool you want to test and not be caught to long staying there if it wasn't the right choice

I understand what you are saying...... it's not easy....

You can see at different multiminers bitcointalk threads number and results relating to different pools but always remember... those numbers are drawn from past profit and can never be used to predict the future...

If you have little rig like me... I try to stay with one gambling pool with one backup

[ghost]

Is it possible to screeb the info of which pool/algo gives the yellow results?

[Sniffdog]

yellow results are from price variance of the miners.... if you have several pools open.....sniffdog checks for the highest price and luck before choosing that miner...
