I have three 5870's and would like to mine FTC at TMB. Any one have neoscrypt running decent for AMD 5870? I'm only getting 20kh/s per card, using badman's current mod miner.

Check the FTC forums - they have a cl for old cards.

Thanks, I did see that forum and tried that cl, I think neoscrypt_vliw, but it doesn't work with this Multi-Algo version of SGMiner, at least not badman's latest mod version. Is there a version of the Multi-Algo SGMIner it does work with?  I think over at the FTC forum they were using some new version of CGMiner?

Anyway I was hoping to mine FTC at TMB with the algo switcher.


Thanks,

It's called, "eliminating the competition".

Here in Cryptoland, we call it, "a ninja launch".

@all

Has anyone had any luck solo mining with any of Wolf0's kernels ?

@Hippie Tech
I dunno why you have it out for wolf0, he has single-handedly increased the output of the neoscrypt kernel five-fold for the newer GPU's.

When FTC, IPC and GUN switched to neoscrypt, the hashrate on a high end GPU was about 60kh/s per GPU.  He bumped that up to ~200k just by cleaning up the kernel.

He wasn't involved previously and did this at someone's request, without any compensation.

He then released a second update to the code that's now getting 320+ kh/s for the high end GPU's. (he implied that he was paid for that, I cannot confirm or deny)

So yes, a LOT of people are having luck with his kernel, me included.  And him being a coder for hire, he deserves what he gets as he's not just another kid putting a new front end in a wallet, releasing a coin, and calling himself a dev.

@lsss
Sorry about your luck using an older card, and multi-algo switcher.  The CL for older cards was done by someone else besides wolf0, and works well with the CGminer found in the forum.
