Sorry for the delay here, this time debugging hurts me a lot.

Well at least I can resolve the AION game here.
Following the table with guesses, best guess in bold and in red the actual value:

1080 FE (~176 in 0.5):

User	Guess
mrshaw070	190
squeekie	200
catfish78	202
Benchmark 0.6	206.5
invizion	228
baraday	232

Rx 580 4G (~106.5 in 0.5):

User	Guess
mrshaw070	116
Benchmark 0.6	118.3
squeekie	120
catfish78	123
invizion	135
baraday	143

May the two winners send me an AION Mainnet Addr as private message so I can send their price?

I have to say the optimization was very odd this time. I started with Nvidia and the changing to 0.6 code style brought most of the improvements. So far so good. Then I tried more things I had in mind but ran into a kind of wall - it just did not want to improve behind this point. Or rather - one idea worked locally but then added a penalty later when reconstructing the solutions such that it was almost +-0.

AMD was totally different. Here the change to 0.6 code base was very buggy in the beginning and once done it was exactly same speed as 0.5. Something is saturated there and so did not find the bottle neck. But then the +-0 idea of the NV code brought at least approx 4 sol/s. That was a start. Then started playing around and introduced some code part that I did not try anywhere before. But while NV was totally not impressed by this, here it brought about 7% speedup. Strange but well.

So, right now fixing more stuff - expect 0.6 alpha 3 in next 4-5 days.

Having stability issues running 8 RX cards mining AION. What settings are you guys using? Getting frustrated Huh

The mining code is not stable for so many cards. The only way atm is to run 2x4 cards. That works fine. Still working on this issue and thats also why alpha 3 will not be last 0.6 alpha.

Hello today I have tried mining BTCZ and my RX 580 Gaming 8GB has only 25-30 Sol / s where is the error? Everybody says they have 580 to 100 Sol / s at RX

Imao perfectly fine. 100 sol/s is impossible for this cards - even a 2080ti without power limit may do 85 to 90 or so but no way more. Who ever told you 100 had no clue.

Lolly, is it worth waiting for the hashrate increase in alpha 3 for old card(hawaii, tahiti)?

Hmm ... GCN1 cards is a bit difficult, some of them lacking some of the newer features. But the Hawaii series cards already do not run so bad - at least not slower then the Polaris cards that are much newer. I doubt that there is a specific optimization for them to make them fly higher. If any every trick for Polaris will help them, too.
So, plan for alpha 4 is to test some of the things recently learned in the 144/5 code. Lets see if anything there helps the AMDs.

Any news on the next Alpha with AMD support for MNX?

I just can confirm that 0.6 alpha 3 will run all algorithms of 0.5, so MNX on AMD will run. But no idea about speed yet Wink

so? what is the problem here, anyone

The config file looking ok, but the miner may have problems with the fact that EXAMPLE_AION exists twice. But else it should work with 0.5. 0.6 does not yet support AION but will be changed in next alpha.

I get many times "Error: lolMiner detected that device 1 is stucked
Shutting down lolMiner"
This does not tell me anything in the logs, why issue happened, no overheat, cards running ok. Why this happen on both Nvidea and AMD?
