Tromp's solvers

I am basically getting 33.998 Sols/s that’s my actual “hash rate”?

yes that’s your actual “hash rate” if it uses the same metrics

Thank you for clearing that up for me, appreciate it.

Tom, I want to thank you for your work on these miners and let you know that I will definitely be voting for you. I don’t care what they say. You will beat Hillary.

@tromp can u tell me how to check whether testnet using recently integrated tromp equihash solver and whats the way to check after editing .conf file and putting equihashsolver=tromp
would you plz help m e in this regard.

Can someone guess what solver going to be final on 28th Oct. Do anyone here believe that GPU solver will surely be out?
is premature to invest in buying hardware required for mining rig or still we need to wait a lil bit.
so whats your say plz share

china will zcash mining again.

Starting zcashd without the -daemon option and with showmetrics=1 will show you the mining statistics, including solution rate. If the rate exceeds 1 then you are using my solver.

@Tromp thank you dear sir

This is the message returned using ./src/zcasd showmetrics=1

./src/zcashd -showmetrics=1
should work.
./src/zcashd
should work too.
Are you running RC2?

yes running rc2 but returned the msg as posted above. By running only ./src/zcashd this msg returned

I guess @tromp can help out in this regard

use ./src/zcash-client stop to stop previous daemon running.

thanks @Hawkix I already did this and It worked
solution rate is 5.2 sol/s contributing to network sol rate with 8 threads core i7 with 8 GB memory. isn’t it less than the perceived one for @tromp solver

It depends. What is the modal number of your i7? Overclocked at all? Anything else running on the system?

sorry I forgot to mention it is VM on MBP. I ran into another problem. After running ./src/zcashd -showmetrics=1, once i run this cmd i got an error which I never got earlier. dont know whats the issue here

what are you using to get 33 Sol/s?

sorry I forgot to mention it is VM on MBP

That’s why you see the Sol/S you do. There is overhead running a VM inside another OS (I’m assuming you are running it in OSX), and you are using a laptop i7. They are usually less powerful than a desktop processor because of heat and power consumption.

I’m trying to write a 4-way blake2b in AVX2 based on Samuel Neves’ fast implementation of blake2bp. Hopefully I’ll have something working by the submission deadline tomorrow…

Got it working just before midnight!
We now have an assembly-free solver (equidev1) reaching

5.6 Sol/s on a 4GHz i7

Hashing now accounts for 29% of runtime.
I’ll try some more micro-optimizations tomorrow…
