So for reasons I can't fully disclose, I've ported the kernels from Claymore's miner into Genoil's miner. For us, this is a boon because it allows us to verify and rebuild the miner source (it makes its way into projects around here, so this is super useful) and validate its speed. I'm not allowed to talk about what it is I'm doing, but I do have permission to release the code (it's based off of an open source project), so I've created a new repo with this code:

https://github.com/goobur/ethminer-cm (https://github.com/goobur/ethminer)
Read the release notes for details.

Generally, for all of our RX 580's we get performance increases on par with Claymore's miner. Although we don't have a whole array of other cards to test on, so your mileage may vary on other AMD cards, right now it seems that Ellesmere, Baffin, Pitcarin and Tahiti cards are working for sure. Also, we don't have any NVIDIA cards, (well, not enough to target them) so the CUDA kernels in this release are the same as vanilla Genoil's kernels.

Also, I'm now onto a different task at work (we don't really care much about dual mining). But I'm pretty fond of this project and I'd like to keep working on it -- specifically I'd like to add dual mining (which I know how to do, but would take some time). I'm just unsure which dual coin I should add first. So in order to decide, I'll let people vote via donations : )

I do want to keep working on this, but it's hard to without any incentive. If you don't want to donate, I definitely understand and I still want you to use this software (and any further releases) for free.

Cheers!

Tried this miner on GCN1.0 cards. Speed of ether mining is the same as in Claymore's Dual Miner solo mode. Maybe some 1-2% difference...
Good job!

Thanks man : )

Do you mind telling me which cards in specific?

thanks for this. will try it to my rigs later

it doesnt submit reported hashrate on ethermine.  :(

anyone tested this on nvidia cards? i assume no devfee here? been waiting for this for quite some time now..

What is wrong with you people? Do you know how much time it cost do something like that? Or even PBE, SRB, Watttool and nobody send any tip to them. You won't get something for nothing! There is 0.5% even pools have bigger fees -_- If there would be no fee nobody would send him any tip.
Same with Robinh00d or whatever the nickname was, he post here weeks ago beta drivers for DAG issue, thousands of you use it and he got nothing, he can't even buy a coffee.
I also got 0 tip for my guides, only from my grateful customers that I appreciate.

P.S.
Put this into your bat file for no dev fee, but you truly s*ck if you use it.

Any video tutorial on how to use this on win10 x64? Thanks for link...

Sapphire 270X 4Gb and Asus 280X 3Gb.

hey man relax, i support "there's no free lunch" principle and good work should always be paid.. now i totally agree claymore deserves the fee he charges in fact all my gpu miners are running on his software because his is the most stable in my environment lol.. just trying to clarify since goobur didn't mention it anywhere and if there's i'd like to know how it's being charged is all... besides if his hash rate is on the same level then that also makes decision easier for me whether it's stable or not and whether i should make the switch... i just don't like my miners being diverted and mine on some pools temporarily... btw good work on the guides.

Unfortunately, this wasn't a feature of ethminer, and I didn't add it into this version.

I may add it in future releases though.

Requires too many .dlls to run on out of date win 8.1

If you need, you can recompile to run on windows 8.1.

Tested on XFX RX 570 4GB.
27.1 mh/s with this miner
27.0 with Claymore

Nice work!!!
Thanks

Thanks,
Although you should be wary of the reported hash rate -- I really should average it over a longer period of time. Check your pool's stats and see if you're getting a benefit (I believe you should be getting approx +1% in the measured rate, but you shouldn't take my word for it, you should definitely verify for yourself.)

7*R9 390
With claymore 221 Mh
With this miner 218 Mh

Interesting, is that a measured hash rate, or the reported hash rate? There are two possibilities for this difference
1. I messed up the launch params on hawaii archs, in which case you may be able to fix it with where k is some value > 0, and is 8 by default.
2. There's too much variance in the reported hashrate, and it needs to be averaged by the miner over a longer period of time (which I'll probably add in the next release, because my reported rates are all over the place sometimes too.)

Will be WIN version?

And donate to ETH?)

 Download link for windows version (https://github.com/goobur/ethminer/releases/tag/v0.12.0.goobur)

I try -eint from 0 to 8  <8 drops hashrate.
This miner reported hash,  pool average hash `same as claymore.

(Sorry for bad english)

How about fee in miner?

It's thirty seconds for every hour which is 0.84% fees.

Try higher than 8. Maybe 9. Looks like my reporting is slightly off, will try to fix in next release.

Yes, which can be turned off completely (see the releases page). It's also not present if you build from source code.

I appreciate a project like this, but it really needs dual mining capability to be competitive with claymore's miner.

ROFL!!! OMG love it!, I think all Dev's should use the Fee option like this LOL.

any update on this?

i'm newbie. how do you do? please expland  :D :D

Testing now. Working very well so far on Windows with a variety of AMD cards.
Getting higher mh/s then stock Ethminer.

Also tested on my Windows rig with (1) 1070 and (4) 1060's
Consumed all memory on rig during DAG and then just stopped.
Could be my rig I guess but Clay runs fine on it. Stock Ethminer does do similar slowdown and stops.
I am doing all the testing on Dwarfpool and hash rates seems to be reporting just fine.

Nice work!
Rest of my rigs are Ubuntu. Any plans for a Linux version?

I used git to pull down the master branch today, compiled on Xubuntu 16.04.3, but had to leave the Cuda option off (couldn’t get the right settings/toolkit). I have 2 Asus Strix 570 4GB and one 1060 3Gb. Up until today I’ve been using claymore to run all three, but have previously used latest ethminer.

Since I couldn’t get your release to run all three cards I ran two instances (goober miner compiled for Opencl + normal ethminer precompiled and downloaded for Cuda) by making different .sh files and used different miner names.

I would like to report that your miner ran my AMD at the same if not slightly higher speed as Claymore.

On top of that, Ethminer runs my 1060 at same/sometimes higher speed as claymore.

Thank you, I know I may lose some things like Watchdog dual mining, but honestly I’ve run Ethminer in the past and it’s stable on Linux. I’ll monitor this setup and report back.

All 3 cards AMD + Nvidia same speeds - no claymore. Best of both worlds.

Thanks goober. My avg hashing rate at ethminer has drastically increased. 

if I were you id find other coins than these
SIA
DECRED
PASCAL
LBRY

I don't know if you currently know but Baikal came out with an asic to mine sia/decred/pascal and lbry so adding those will be pointless as no one with a gpu will make any money from mining those algo's because of the asic that targets those algo's

Just noticed this thread so I downloaded and built for Ubuntu 16.04 with AMDGPU-Pro 17.40.
I don't like the new boost dependencies (it downloaded 1.65 even though I have 1.58 installed).
A quick test with the 8k(default) and 16k global work showed very little difference in performance vs ethminer-nr.  I got 28.56Mh vs 28.44 on a Rx 470 1126/2000 clocks.

Could anyone share the .bat file with ethminer pool ?  i cannot start it :/

Any updates, goobur ?

It is great work. I am using it now. :)

Problem 1: Goobur not recognize AMD GPU Card, only recognize Intel built in HD card, I uninstall the drive by DDU and reinstall the drive but script not recognize AMD card. please help.

Problem 2: asia1.ethermine.org:4444 port was not connecting but asia1.ethermine.org:14444 was connected any other port for goobur.

Please give a solution because I want to use goobur.

 Then Bitmain came out with THEIR SIA miner.

Hello,
Is there a way to enable the devfee on the source code? Only releases seem to come with it, and the only one is for windows, but I am on linux.
 Thank you!

Project is dead, as I see? Or I'm wrong?
