Re: [ANN] sgminer v5 - new unified multi-algorithm on-the-fly kernel switching miner

SG5 for neoscrypt is out; I've compiled it. This is a zip of my kernel, slighly modified for SGMiner, as well as all the other kernels included on the github's develop branch, and a Win64 binary. Static compile, no DLLs, just like my standard SGMiner builds on Litecointalk. Also GPG signed, like my standard builds:

https://ottrbutt.com/sgminer/neoscrypt/sgminer5-neoscrypt-11-02-2014.zip

And of course, GPG sigs for those that check them (you should be): https://ottrbutt.com/sgminer/neoscrypt/sgminer5-neoscrypt-11-02-2014.zip.sig


Thanks very much, Wolf. You're a gentleman and a scholar and they're ain't very damn many of us left!  Grin

At this stage no, I've made a post in the TomPool forums in General Discussion:

http://forum.tompool.org

One of the drives in one of the servers has failed, my web host is attending to it but I won't know the status until they update me. Annoyingly the failed drive is in the stratum/website server so pretty much everything is down.

Dang. I just switched to you b/c of the incredible payout reported on Poolpicker. Dang.

Just use badmans develop branch or the nightly build fom platinum4 post.
Did u try my profiles.conf or platinums4?
Can't see what settings ur using.

OK, thanks for your help!
Used badmans develop branch.
Used your profiles.conf except upped "gpu-memclock" : "1500" for x11 and nist5 like in Platinums conf.

Also, I got rid of:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
in my batch file. Is this necessary any more or not? Seems to make no difference either way.

X11 = 5.67Mh  (started at 5.9 and then settled at that. That is much better than what I had before [5.1])

Edit: Down to 5.48 now. Hmmmm....

Where can we get .cl's with these changes in the meantime?
check my sig
let me know if you find any that wont build or decrease in hashrate

The .cl's in the 'sgminer_v5_0_develop' branch in your sig have the changes? Do I need to use that sgminer, or just the .cl files?

I'm just not getting anything like your guys' hashrates. What sdk are you running, or does sgminer even require that?

5.1kh = x11 Sad

Using the new conf files on 290x @ 1050, 1350 on the 7/25 nightly sgminer with 14.7RC driver on Win 7 x64.

Thanks!

Love this OS, don't understand why there isn't more activity going on here.

Badman, are the install instructions for your branch still good for the new 1.5.6?

Are these hashrates with your sgminer in your signature?
yes it is telling the server my hasrates so it can decide what algo's are profitable for me

I'm getting significantly lower hashrates on my 290x than you are, so I'm going to try the sgminer in your signature with the settings in your codebox. Are you on Windows? I'm Win 7 x64 with 14.4 drivers.

Thanks!
win7 x64 with 14.6 drivers and 2 sapphire 290x cards

Looks like the drivers made all the difference. Thanks!

Yep yep, I grab the nightly builds every day that dude has 'em wrapped up.  There wasn't one for the 11th, but I'm on the 12th one right now on 14.7RC 7x64.

I get this usually.

scrypt: disabled
nscrypt: disabled
x11: 5.5
x13: 4.2
x15: 3.6
x14: 4
nist5: 16.5
qubit: disabled
keccak: 470
fresh: haven't tried yet

badman74 tones down his intensity's a bit, so may be why he's in my range but around 100Kh/s off.

I'm going to do exactly that, then. Really, man, thanks for your help.

Edit: Wow. Getting 4.2Mh on X13 now. Looks like the drivers made all the difference. I tested before and after the new 14.7RC1 drivers-deleted bin files. Wow. Thanks platinum4!

14.6RC2 or 14.7RC will offer speed increases over 14.4 for X?? algorithms.

Correct.  14.6RC1/2 & 14.7RC have a performance-type increase with groestl, which is not inherent in 14.4

An alternative working configuration for 290X is

This is particularly for 2 Sapphire R9 290X 1000/1250 stock + 1 Sapphire Tri-X OC 1040/1300.

You must basically hard-code your gpu-engine to match your stock on 14.6RC1/2 & 14.7, auto-gpu does not work on these drivers and if you set something lower or above your rated stock clocks, the sgminer instance keeps trying to reset your GPU every 2 seconds to whatever you specify, but fails to ever do so.


Thanks for sharing that. I'll try the NH portion of your config and see if I can get it working. Are you using the version of sgminer available on NiceHash at https://nicehash.com/software/#sgminer? What are your hashrates and where are you telling the server what they are so it can decide which algorithm to change you to, or is there any need of that?

Thanks for your config and your help.

This tool is great! Getting a better hashrate than ever with the version that I downloaded from cryptomining blog http://cryptomining-blog.com/3013-nicehash-control-tool-with-amd-radeon-280x-support/

Of course you'll want to update the Control tool to 1.0.4. Actually making a small amount of money now at nicehash. Up 'til now, this was just an expensive hobby! Thanks!

on 01/06/2014, 03:07:52 UTC
Can someone please tell me, what's the point of this coin being X13 algo if after the PoW phase is over we can no longer mine it?

Yeah, and I've been reading, but this Proof Of Stake just escapes me. So the wallet is changed after POW ends and I 'mine' by sending coins to myself and processing transactions?

Isn't that a lot like what my mom told me not to do? POW I totally understand, POS I'm still trying to get a grasp of.

I'm mining this b/c I want to learn more about POS (because it isn't so wasteful) and I like the X13 algorithm taking less power.

The guy above ^^^^^^ has got it right...what's the point of a lower power, ASIC-proof algorithm if those things are irrelevant after Block 43200?

Re: GAW Miners - $20 off each miner!

Why is GAW deleting so many posts?  I posted a question asking why the blades aren't listed on the website anymore and it was deleted.  Other people have had legitimate questions deleted.

I had a good experience with my order, but this sort of behavior is not acceptable in a vendor.

I noticed that myself. I'm wondering if they announced that blade a little too early and got their hand slapped by the vendor or a competitor?

I'm looking forward to getting my miners tomorrow.  Grin

Thats true 1000 does req the voltage mod but I think at 850 they are very stable. Stock they are set to 700 I think so even the bump to 850 would be nice and I am getting zero errors @ 850 on my local miners with the fans off.

Are there some instructions for running these things? Is there a forum post or website you guys are working off of? I don't see any instructions on the GAW website.

I bought 5 of the usb hashers at the end of the rush, apparently. I'm having to wait an extra two days for mine, but I did get a decent price on them and GAW did offer a small credit to my account without my asking for not delivering within the 5 days. The ordering was not smooth because of bitcoin gateway problems, but we worked it out in the end. When I called the number, someone answered who was courteous and knowledgeable. That's a big deal, I think. Here's hoping that the hardware is all good and I can get hashing quickly when it arrives.

What other type of promotions would you guys like to see?  Wink

Maybe not just hosted miners getting doubled for 7 days, but the pool could be all customers.

Do you guys run a mining pool, or suggest one?

I placed an order and am waiting on the payment method (BTC) to be communicated. Can't wait to get my miners and get in on the double-up week!
