wanna make miner thread counts autotune up at some point? just keep track of peaks past and push up until no further gains - local minimas are unlikely

"just"

Fireduck
it isn't a bad idea
2018-11-21 22:09:54
Rotonen
a lot of people struggle with that
2018-11-21 22:10:24
Rotonen
they try 1, then thousands, then say it does not make a dent

Fireduck
hehe

part of the problem is that with arktika, there are basically unlimited tuning options
2018-11-21 22:11:18
Rotonen
but ’+1 until negative gains’ should do it for hardware not hitting thermal throttling towards the steady state

arktika should not autotune, only the pool miner
2018-11-21 22:12:00
Rotonen
the more braindead the pool miner is, the better off the masses are
2018-11-21 22:12:24
Rotonen
also outputwise

also java 9 would allow for building an executable with a thinly embedded jvm
2018-11-21 22:16:04
Fireduck
java 9 is lies

people want an .exe which prompts for pool address and payout address, and nothing more
2018-11-21 22:17:13
Rotonen
and power users have arktika
2018-11-21 22:19:05
Fireduck
yeah...we have a .bat file, that is close
2018-11-21 22:19:09
Fireduck
but I get what you are saying
2018-11-21 22:29:20
Rotonen
people do not get that either, as there is also an .sh file, so i've seen people see edit the heap size in the .sh one and be confused why it does not affect the miner

there is one thing i learned doing games for wider audiences: users always surprise the developer
2018-11-21 22:30:13
Rotonen
there is no bar too low
