Stock speed L5639 running 10x256mb threads was getting me around 180-200cpm, I don't recall exactly.  I would estimate 200-250cpm with the new M version of yam and ~11 512mb threads.

I grabbed one from Datashack just to test... upgraded it to 16GB of RAM so I could run 24 threads w/ 512kb.... it gets ~514 CPM (using numactl also).... the 5650 gets ~670 CPM. 

an i7-4770 w/ 8 threads @ 1GB of RAM ea gets ~710 cpm

now i'm really curious about the i5-4570's, you can get those for dirt cheap

Oh and one more thing I noticed but at datasoft, it seems they allow mining but only on the dedicated servers you rent. Thats pretty good news since their dedicated servers are not so expensive. You'll need to mine 8 PTS in 30 days to breakeven.
in regard to datasoft, it looks like all they have is the 5639's?  $79 for 8GB, $109 for 16GB.  they're cheaper at www.servercomplete.com, $69 for 5639 w/ 24GB of RAM.  or Datashack's $74 for same thing..  wholesaleinternet has it w/ 8 GB of ram for $69.

I think the haswell's on seflow.it or some of hetzner's auctions are better, though

though i'm not sure if any are actually profitable, w/ all the gpu farming now

i get 514 cpm on a 5639 w/ 512kb ram threads....  it's around 670 on a 5650 w/ 1gb threads

using all 8 threads on a 4770 haswell would be faster than the 5639

oh, and google responded to my complaint, did I say that yet?   so now the BBB site says 'Our complaint history for this company shows that the company responded to and gave proper consideration to most complaints. However, one complaint is unresolved meaning the company failed to properly address the complaint allegations or their response was inadequate.' .. but I'm delaying sending my packet to DA, since they have until feb 28th to reply

they said they stopped issuing the free credits because people were abusing it to mine cryptocurrencies, which was against their ToS.  I don't recall seeing that in their ToS.  my application itself said that I was going to use my trial credits to farm cryptocurrencies.  i've got a printout of that as well.  if it's against their ToS, they shouldnt have accepted my application.  if they do give me credit and then suspend my account for mining cryptocurrencies, then they'd be open to a small claims dispute.  the ToS I agreed to isn't the same as the ToS that they have now,

oh, my response was along the lines of how they failed to uphold their end of the contract, and what other people were doing is irrelevant

update:  checked an i7-4770 that I've been running 8 threads @ 1GB of RAM for the last 24 hrs or so, was at 710cpm

There is another "free" dedicated server trial, but I haven't tried this one myself and I've seen some complaints about it on webhostingtalk, but:

First off, there is this one, but I don't think you should use it?  unless you actually got the email about it.  I think only people that have an account there but have never gotten a server from there got this promo email.  It may work for everyone, though.  I'm not sure.

http://www.server4you.com/root-server/special-offer.php

here's the general free server offer, with servers that aren't as good:

https://order.server4you.com/pages/dedicated/index.php

The "Ecoserver Large" or "Ecoserver Big", the first month is free.  There are a few people that complained they got billed on webhostingtalk, but some others posting that they completed it fine.

I suspect even if you did get billed, you'd be able to get the money back either via support tickets (or even a chargeback).  My guess is that there are  maybe a handful of complainers and 100's that completed it w/ no problems..

**WARNING**

They tried charging my credit card for the full price of the server, luckily I had a VCC with only 2$ on it. Not sure if its just a glitch since my server is still online but emailed support asking about this issue. My server is still working.

Yeah, that place seemed a bit shady from reading webhostingtalk.  No complaints about the burst.net offer, though.

I *think* the ppl complaining said they got their money back but I guess a lot of people might not even bother (or notice)... which is why they do it

did you run with 2Thread and -a 1 ??
This is what I'm using right now:

-p x -t 0,1,3 -a 1
Change Driver and try
-px -t 0.0,1,1,3 -a 1
Will do. Should also mention this card is not overclocked, mostly because when I do I don't see a CPM change. Just continues to chill at 2647.
hrm

I'm running a 7970 in Windows 7 with -t 0 -a 3 @ 2700cpm, underclocked to hell and voltage approaching performance level 1 levels

the 270 is -t 1 -a 1 @ 1500cpm and also underclocked, temps @ 52oC and 57oC respectively

but I was thinking -t was something else, so i haven't even tried the 7970 with 2 threads or whatever?  nfc.       too lazy to right now

there is lots of room to customize (ie making it cheaper by not requiring a dedicated 1gbps port)

Are you renting them out? If so, PM me your pricing.

It's  hard to give any prices since you'd likely want it customized quite a bit?  Or would you want the dedicated 1gbps port?  That adds some bit to the price...

Going for 100mbps and 5/5TB bandwidth or something would be much cheaper..

You can also fit a lot more GPUs in there =p

I will get exact server models, but some reference:

Sorry, never mind.  I missed the "Help>Debug Window>Console" part.  I'm good. :)

I had the same problem. But where do you see this?

I would add the nodes, but where the heck do I do that at? lol

Thanks,

In the .conf file, which would be in /users/xxx/appdata/roaming/Protoshares/protoshares.conf  for Windows

here's mine:

server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=xxxxxxxx
rpcpassword=bleat
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=48392
port=15554
timeout=300
datadir=f:\protoshares
dbcache=1000
gen=0
listen=0
maxconnections=2
#irc=0
upnp=0
dns=0
logtimestamps=1
par=8

connect=5.9.24.81
connect=23.92.25.118

you'd want to change it to maxconnections=10 and change the connects to addnode

I'll always know whether 5.9.24.81 is up or down since it's my machine.  23.92.25.118 used to be reliable, but nowadays I just get connected to my server.  I still haven't seen more than 600 connections simultaneously so there's still room for another 400 or so before the client starts crashing (doesn't use epoll)

oh... alternatively, you can click 'help' 'debug window' and then type 'addnode 5.9.24.81 onetry'

Could we get #'s w/o overclocking?  I mean, I can get reseller/bulk deals on things like 2x L5639, but they won't be overclockable (so 2.13ghz)... so I still can't tell if they're worth paying $50/mo for...  since even on a Google search just about everything I see is some value w/ an overclocked machine.

For the record (all on Ubuntu 13.10 unless specified otherwise),

E3-1270v1 @ 3.4ghz, ~350 collisions/m, using 8 threads @ 1GB mem.

E3-1230v1 @ 3.2ghz, ~335 collisions/m, 8 threads @ 512kb and 7 threads @ 1gb have essentially this same value.  These servers only have 8GB of RAM, so I can't run 8 threads @ 1GB.

Dual Xeon L5420 @ 2.5 ghz, something horrible, 8 threads @ 1gb, use for some minerd quark algo thing

Dual Xeon L5520 @ 2.27ghz, ~405 collisions/m, 16 threads @ 512kb mem

Dual Xeon L5639 @ 2.13ghz, ~535 collisions/m, 24 threads @ 512kb mem (using numactl)

Dual Xeon X5650 @ 2.67ghz, Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise, 640 collisions/m, 24 threads @ 1GB (havent really attempted to optimize)

Dual Xeon X5650 @ 2.67ghz, ~685 collisions/m, 24 threads @ 1GB (using numactl)

i7-4770 @ 3.4ghz, 407 collisions/m, 4 threads @ 1GB

i7-4770 @ 3.4ghz, ~720 collisions/m, 8 threads @ 1gb (using all 8 *threads slows the integrated GPU down from about 20-25 khash scrypt to 10 or so)

Xeon E3-1240v3 @ 3.4ghz, ~690 collisions/m, 8 threads @ 1gb

That solves my problem, gonna test it out.

Google 2000$ promo was bullshit, they said in Jan they will re-open it but nothing happened.

Did you get the acceptance letter?  They didn't answer my BBB complaint so now the district attorney of sunnyvale, CA is involved (bait & switch fraudulent advertising).

I didn't get anything at all, when emailed me 2 months about waiting till Jan I knew they were full of shit.

Oh datasoft free month promo is back on just got an email from them about it.

@therapy thanks for the links will add that to the main post.

If adding stuff like promo free VPS, burst.net has promo free dedicated server for new customer:

https://service.burst.net/cart.php?gid=16

you have to put in CC info of course, but it's not hard to cancel it "in time"..   i had no issues (you dont have to set up a recurring paypal payment).   I think they do take that $1 setup fee, but that's it

I used the Q6600, the two better ones, I never saw available

The performance of GTX 780 on version 0.4 and version 0.3c shoud be no difference.  Use old version if you found the performance of newer version is lower.

maybe it should make no diff, but it definitely does.  the dropoff is quite noticeable, and it's a lot more than 5%, more like 20%

and already went back to old v

Thanks zvs for the find, will be checking it out in a few hours and will through it in the first post if its working for me.

Anways NEW offer has been added in the first post!!.

Enjoy guys!

I went and looked at it again..... if they don't kick you off for coin farming like some other host I've heard does (dimension or something? hah),

1 dedicated CPU core   
€ 0.005
€ 0.012

the hourly price is .005 and the daily price is .012.  so i guess you would want to book it for a day.  but that would mean you could run 100 cores for like 6 days?

ed: bah, just do 95 for 7 days.

oh, I see.  you have to pay for RAM also.  each 512MB of ram is € 0.048 and you'd also need € 0.048 disk space. 

not sure how many of the other things you'd need, if it's per instance, or what

it also seems to me like they meant .12 instead of .012 for the cpu core. 

did their price calculator, thing.. 8 core, 5120 MB RAM, 10 GB HDD, 500 GB traffic, 100 Mbps uplink, says €1.633 / daily , not bad

Been going through their site for almost a hour and couldn't find the link to register for the free trial.

Their prices seem are amazing, I mean even cheaper than amazon ec2 instances. Could you please post the link to the registration page.

Would like to test it out, if its good as they say might keep using it after the trial.

Thanks.

It looks like it only shows up on the Italian version of the website:

http://www.seflow.it/ecloud/freetrial.php

Then click on 'create cloud account' or w/e. 

Attivazione Prevista  10 Minuti
CPU per Cloud  4
numero Cloud  3
RAM Assegnata  512 MB
Spazio Assegnato  5 GB
Banda Mensile  500 GB
Uplink per Cloud  100 Mbps
Indirizzi IPv4  1
Indirizzi IPv6  10
Spesa stimata oraria  € 0.018
Spesa stimata Mensile  € 13

*boggle*

You'd need a bit more RAM, otherwise it looks OK.  4 cores for .018 euro?  nice.

I guess you might 'have' to take that initial 4 core thing?  But, then, you are supposed to have that 8 euro trial & it says they won't charge you if you go over.

google translated 'The proposed service is so innovative that a simple presentation will not allow you to fully understand its full potential. SeFlow will offer you a gift voucher of € 8.00 that you can use for your eCloud freely. At the end of the credit you can decide whether to reload and continue to use it or close it without any cost.'

and on a somewhat related note, that old google trial cloud offer of $2000.  they never responded to my BBB complaint, info here:

http://www.bbb.org/sanjose/business-reviews/internet-services/google-in-mountain-view-ca-214105

Factors that lowered Google, Inc.'s rating include:

Government action(s) against business.
Failure to respond to one complaint filed against business.

...  they have a branch in Austin, TX, so I could realistically take them to small claims court (wouldn't have to travel to California).  I might just do that, not sure yet.

ed:

I'm also going to call the BBB sometime later today in regard to:

Advertising Review
BBB has nothing to report concerning Google, Inc.'s advertising at this time.

... as my unanswered complaint was an advertising issue..  so this should be changed
