Hi Pennywis3 ,
thank very much for your feedback.
The main parameter that influence the performance is the rawintensity and the worksize.
You yet know very well the miner, so I think is useless show you many options or configurations to try...anyway there are written in the pdf manual.
The point is that I have to decide how many time and eventually money to invest in this project.
For sure I have to buy a newer card and eventually a new pc.
We will see if there are news.

Ps: Hey, Hacker. Please do not try to enter in  my miningpoolhub account : it's pratically empty and a waste of time!

Running time: about 32 hours

Avg Hashrate displayed by the miner  : 887
24 Hrs Hashrate diplayed by the pool  : 892
Testing environment : Bad.
Connection instable (no optic fiber , no cable , wi max, shared with the family members)
PC: instable. Sometimes freezes if browser is used. During the test the PC is freezed 2 times. One while posting the intermediate results.

2#EDIT: result of the 24 hrs test

I have tested the miner on miningpoolhub one month ago for six hours. The pool hashrate was in line with the value displayed on the gui of the miner.

I haven't compared the power utilization of the miner.
Reasonably the consume is a little bit more, proportionally to the hash gain.
I will do and publish the power tests for my R9 card. For other models we will wait for a proud tester.

Hi to all,
I'm here to present my work on Monero.
It's an optimized AMD Monero miner, derived from the sgminer project.
The source code and the executable for Windows are available on Github.

https://github.com/Enoch72/sgminer-MK/releases

Tested on AMD R9 390x (stock values) the miner seems to give the best hashrate compared to other best miners.
Claymore Cryptonote performs about 855 hashes/s, SRBminer performs 874 hashes per secs, while MK is constantly above 880 hashes/sec with peaks to 890.
I haven't tested the miner on newer cards simply because at the moment I decided to don't buy ones.

The miner is free to download for test purposes.
NO dev fee in the miner but ... Open source software doesn't means software for free.
GPL license allow to charge a price or a fee for download the software.
If you want to use the miner in production environment you shall to pay a developer fee of 0.005 XMR for GPU.
Obviously this contribute the project alive. For other details please read the LICENSE.TXT file in the distribution file.

The planned road-map for next release/s are:

• Other speed optimizations for Monero (1/2%)
• Implement and transfer optimizations to CNHeavy algo
• GUI and tools to best configure, monitor and fine tuning the mining algos
• Under request, is possible transfer the optimizations to other Open Source projects (ex: XMR rig). The speedup gain is estimated between 3 and 5%.

NOTE: for best configure you cards please read the manual included the zip file.
For sure you have to change the rawintensity and worksize values in the batch file.

  I don't see the Hokuto Man here   , so you are really from Nippon.

I Will opt, if possibile to start a cooperation 😁

Based on my esperiencies, the best intensity size is near values obtained using this formula: (num compute units-2) *16 that for a 570 card is 480. Try also 960 for 8gb cards.

I suggest you to test the version 06x of my miner...20% improvement than other implementations.

You can distribuite GPL binaries without source code, but accompanied with an offer to get the source code. The price of the source code cannot be  higher than the price of the binaries.

Will relive soon!

Hi to the forum members,
I want to signal a new release of my monero (or cryptonight v7) miner is out.
I introduced a new feature to select for each of three kernel used for compute monero hashes a custom worksize.
This can improve fine tuning and performance of the miner.
The hashrate is improved of almost 2.5% since older version.
If someone want to test on newer card and share the result is welcomed.
https://github.com/Enoch72/sgminer-MK/releases
There is also a link of small pdf containing a brief explanation and hints to configure the miner.

Bye.

I have some optimization on kernel side but not sure to give these for free. My AMD R9 390 is above 880 h/s for monero v7.  Why not to publish sources on GitHub?

Try my Open Source miner : https://github.com/Enoch72/sgminer-MK/releases/tag/MK-1.0.7

Seems that performs very well in older AMD architecture.
The rawintensity to setup in the bat file is (24-1) *16 = 368
If someone with newer cards will test it will be welcome.
PS: I try to write you a private message but seems that you have choose not to allow message from newbie, as I'm.

Hi to all,
 I want to introduce my modified version of sgminer https://github.com/Enoch72/sgminer-MK/releases/latest
I found that this version performs exceptionally well using the new monero cryptonightv7 algo and a worksize of 4.
Using my old r9 390x card I found an hashrate of about 865 h/s , while Claymore performs 'only' 855.
Similar results using my HD 7950.
If someone can verify my claims on newer cards I will be grateful.
Results obtained using a worksize of 4 , 2 threads per GPU.
RawIntensity param values obtained using the formula : (GPU ComputeUnits-1) * 16.
OS Windows 7, AMD Adrenalin driver 18.5.2.

Hi, see you!

The same is for modified sources:

5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
terms of section 4, .....


Anyway I have no problem to distribuite the source code if someone asks for it.
Give me an address and I'll mail the kernel's.

Have you read carefully the license ?

4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.

  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.

I forked this project and continued to develop it by myself.
I want to signal my first public release:

https://github.com/Enoch72/sgminer-MD/releases/tag/MD-1.0.6

* Fixed Xevan kernel compilation on older cards (HD 7950)
* Added color to the terminal log.

There also speed improvement but since I have oldest AMD card (7950 , r9 390x) I can't say this is true for newer ones.

Bye,
 Giovanni

Up.

Ecco il preview.
L'hashrate ed il log sono reali.
Si riferiscono alla mia vecchia scheda summenzionata.
Se tutto va bene sarà rilasciato fra 15 giorni massimo.
