Hi all!

This is improved version of open source miner for zcoin.
Tested and developed under ubuntu 16 , cuda 10, 415.25 driver. Tested on mintpond pool.
Improved speed and moved Merkle tree generation to GPU.

WARNING! READ BEFORE USE!

1. Cards will eat every watt of tdp and they will be hot. Check your PSU
2. This miner have problems with extranonce2 and will run out of nonces on high speed rigs. It will abort() itself if running out of nonces, so launch in loop or launch 1-2 cards per instance
3. This miner will force exit too, if pool is lagging (annoying stratum_gen_work: job not yet retrieved message)
4. Please, ignore this error GPU #2: result for 27713c34 does not validate on CPU! - It means nothing, full result checks not running on GPU, If this message is rare, it is OK.
5. To reduce CPU work and number of messages "result for 27713c34 does not validate on CPU" please use static diff 2^n aka 1024,2048,4096.. on mintpond: -p pass,d=4096,strict
6. In some rare times pool do not send diff, miner will use default(8192), you can change it in util.cpp file



OVERCLOCK

+mem, +cpu, all is working, for 1080, 1080ti Pill is working too.

SYSTEM requirements:

CPU - any, Celeron is OK
RAM - 256M per card
GPU - 5G of vram
For 20x0 cards: edit Makefile.am and change compute to 75

DEVFEE

Devfee is ZERO.
If you want to donate, send coins to my addresses, that shows after miner launch.

While this may be true in the short/medium term, but in the long term FPGA may end replacing GPUs, as the costs go down and other players comes in and we see more mining oriented FPGAs. This is just the genesis of public FPGA mining.

Exceptions would be ASIC alog coins or coins who's Devs want to be FPGA-resistant (at least they think they can be FPGA-resistant).

There are 3 threads, where fpga devs are selling(or incite to buy) this devices today.

Most of those algos were FPGA and ASIC resistant in past(like scrypt, x11,x13, quark, etc). But coin devs trying to make fpga-resistant and asic resistant algos. They will increase memory size and bandwidth requirements and make new resistant(today resistant, not tomorrow) algos, like mtp, equihash(with different parameters), phi2, etc.

⭐ Merited by parentibule (5)
lyra2z will not fit fully pipelined (corrected).

Who said that it would? Who implied that it would be a good idea to fully pipeline it?

I'm pretty sure you're just fishing.



Forget lyra2z, mtp(new algo) soon.

This thread has 44 pages now and you(fpga devs) not provided any proof, just theory.
You(fpga devs) say : go, buy fpga and later we maybe implement and maybe release some bitstreams.

I ask again : What are you going to mine with this fpga?

Let's sum up this discussion

Keccak - will work, low profit
Tribus - will work, low profit due to low network hashrate
Phi1612 - will work, forget it, devs changing algo due to anti-fpga and anti-asic policy
Skunkhash - will work, low profit due to low network hashrate
x17 - will work with 2 FPGA, need a verilog masochist, profit will be destroyed with 450x fpga
x16r - most likely will not work, or skip hard blocks at hashing,  need a verilog masochist
x16s - will work with 2 FPGA, need a verilog masochist
lyra2z - will work, forget it, devs changing algo due to anti-fpga and anti-asic policy
lyra2v2 - will work, low profit, asic soon
lyra2 - will work, low profit, low network hashrate
ethash - will work with ddr4 ram, low profit
equihash  - will work with ddr4 ram, low profit
cn-7, cn-light, etc - will work, low profit
Xevan - will work with 4 FPGA, need a verilog masochist, low profit due to low network hashrate
bitcore - I think, it will fit, and work with good hashrate(600MH), but profit will be destroyed due to low network hashrate
nist5, neoscrypt - I did not investigate, possible candidates for fpga. |

What algorithms have I forgotten?

You’ve made two very aggressive anti-FPGA posts. Can you share your credentials and experience leading you to make such statements, or demonstrate why these things are not possible? You’ve made at least 4 claims that I personally know to be untrue.

Not agressive, pessimistic.  FPGA cards like that exists from 2014 https://www.alpha-data.com/dcp/products.php?product=adm-pcie-ku3
Many people(in Russia) pm'ed me and ask about this. They read this topic and think that it will be a GPU replacement.

made at least 4 claims that I personally know to be untrue.

lyra2z will not fit fully pipelined (corrected). All other algos in my post _can_ be fitted and managed to run on fpga, but they will be to slow to ROI $4000 ($5000 soon) board.

DDR4 is slow. You cannot use it for ethash or CN-7

Etash nope, but CN-7 you can at ease. 700H/s for stock ryzen 2600X If I remember correctly what I read here. that's with lower than 3000MHz mem. Best mem can achieve 4200MHz, giving 107.52 GB/s bandwith.

CPU miners use L3 cache, not DDR ram. On pure DDR ram(or on cpu with little amount of cache) it will be slow

What happens if coins move to ethash-like algorithms where the efficiency gains would be alot smaller?

That’s the nature of crypto, you have to decide what risks and opportunities are right for you. Currently what I’m proposing plays well in the acceleration role with GPUs for those algorithms. In 9-12 months both FPGAs and GPUs will be shipping with similar memory bandwidth and then FPGAs (imho) will be winning on power.

Next gen Radeon Vega is rumored to have up to 1.28 Terabyte/s mem bandwith. IS there any FPGA (or announced) that would pull the same kind of perf ?

The ultraram on the FPGA collectively have a total memory bandwidth of 5.1TB/s. The HBM2 on the next generation FPGA will have the same bandwidth as the vegas with HBM2 and those chips will still have ultraram on top of that.

LOL VCU1525 has only 33 MB of uram - it is nothing. This price overvalued FPGA's can mine only few algos. If the anti-asic and anti-fpga policy will be continued, this FPGA will mine nothing.
Main problem is small amount of high speed RAM and small amount of LUT. This is kicking out a lot of actual algos like equihash, ethash, CN-v7, X17, X16r, Lyra2Z, leaving fpgas with primitive low-profit algos like keccak, tribus, skunkhash, lyra2v2, etc.

33MB is a lot for on chip memory. VCU1525 also have up to 64GB of DDR4.

DDR4 is slow. You cannot use it for ethash or CN-7

People who are still buying Nvidia GPUs at hyper inflated prices (or even normal prices right now) are idiots, especially GDDR5X variants. The new batch of miners don't have a off switch and this isn't going to end well.

Stick to Linux build. Even after removing part of CPU validation from Win build yiimp rejects shares, which means hashing go wrong on Windows. Think it may be lib-related issue, maybe someone will fix Smiley

Can you please printout hashing result on every algo with zero input data(x17/x17.cu, commented out code) both on linux and windows to determine where is the bug related to windows version?
My rigs are headless and far away from me, I can't test it on windows ;(
