What is new in V1.4 ?
- Added support for Nicehash
- Added support for SSL/TLS encrypted stratum connections


What can this miner offer you beside usual mining functionalities:

DevFee:
- Low DevFee (0.85%) -> every ~2 hours 1 minute mining for the dev
- Non-agressive DevFee mining -> if miner can't connect to DevFee pool, no problem, switching back to user pool ASAP
- 3 locations for DevFee pool : europe, asia, usa


Performance:
- Only one parameter you have to play with : intensity (0 - 100)
- Leave intensity on 0, and miner will try to set intensity automatically for your GPU
- To get even better results, there is an option to use double threads


Charity:
- You can offer 0.55% of your earnings (that is 1 minute of mining every ~3 hours) for charity
- 0.55% is something you won't even notice, but it can mean a lot to someone in need
- Non-agressive Charity mining, if it can't connect to Charity pool, it will switch back to user pool


Extra:
- Watchdog that resets miner if it detects the GPU is not hashing (probably video driver crashed)


Tips:
- If you leave intensity on 0 it will play safe, so in many cases you can increase that value to get better results
- For better results set double_threads to true, and leave intensity on 0
- If you get an error that says it can't create scratchpad buffer, you have to lower intensity
- To disable charity mining just delete charity pool, wallet and password fields from the config file
- If you think that i don't deserve the DevFee, you can use the -iamagreedybastard parameter


Have to make this work ?

The config file :

"intensity" : A NUMBER BETWEEN 0-100,
"double_threads" : TRUE OR FALSE,
"target_temperature" : A NUMBER BETWEEN 0-99,
"pool_use_tls" : TRUE OR FALSE,
"pool" : "ADDRESS OF MINING POOL:PORT",
"wallet" : "ADDRESS OF YOUR WALLET",
"password" : "x",
"location" : "EUROPE OR ASIA OR USA",
"log_file" : "IF YOU WANT TO LOG MINER OUTPUT PUT A FILENAME HERE",
"charity_pool" : "ADDRESS OF POOL FOR CHARITY MINING",
"charity_wallet" : "ADDRESS OF WALLET FOR CHARITY MINING",
"charity_password" : "x"

#SET GPU'S MANUALLY
#This example uses GPU devices with ID 0,1,3,4 and every GPU has it's own setting
"gpu_conf" :
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 0, "double_threads" : true},
   { "id" : 1, "intensity" : 55, "double_threads" : false},
   { "id" : 3, "intensity" : 25, "double_threads" : true},
   { "id" : 4, "intensity" : 0, "double_threads" : true},
]

So if you for ex. have 6 GPU's but want only to use 3, first run d0miner.exe --listdevices to list devices and their id's, that you can put in config file under gpu_conf part.

DON'T comment out or remove intensity and double_threads setting at the top of the config file, just leave it as-is, because when you use a per card setting, those settings will be ignored.

After setting up the config.txt file, just run start.bat


Options:

- Press 's' when miner is running to see some basic stats
- Press 'h' when miner is running to see hashing speed

Parameters:

--listdevices (display available GPU devices and their ID's, to use in gpu_conf)
--disablegpuwatchdog (turn off watchdog, if it is making some trouble for you)
--iamagreedybastard (use it if you think i don't deserve the 0.85% devfee)

Info:
You have to change the wallet address in sample config.txt file, if you leave it, you will mine some XMR to me.
Also the charity address in the sample config.txt is Wolf0's XMR address. I modified his OpenCL kernel, so he deserves some coins for his work.

Nobody is interested to test?

This is really great, thank you very much for your efforts. I get 10% more xmr than on other programs ...

Interesting, will give it a try when I have time.

Goes it support all AMD generations? Tahiti, Hawaii, Fiji, etc?

That would be cool, it should work on older cards too, but i have none of those, so i can't test  ???

I wish more coins took this approach. Half of one percent is a tiny amount, but could grow it something large and make a real impact down the road. I wish you good luck with your project and believe charity functions will be a standard feature going forward.

I will .
As a Thank you for SRBPolaris :)

Thank you kind man :)

Hi.
 I Let it run  for a while:

Rx 550: around  270/330 h/s  per card depending  if its Asus 4gb / Sapphire 4gb

Kindly note that the Asus 4gb  I have is a non optimized card with some problem

Rx 570: around 860 h/s per card

I tested at intensity 0 /25/50/57(RX 550 stops here) / 75 /90/100 with no visible increase /decrease of performance

Bad news: 330 h/s on the sapphire Rx 550 is 150 h/s less than the software I use that also comes with nice graphics and overclocking... :). Same software, Same RX 570 delivered 925 h/s.

Good news :

There is a saving at the wall of around 35 watt and also have very small impact on the cputilization

Few explanation:
I started  mining very late and with little money. Motherboard available were just 6 / 7 PCIe slot, so every of the few(..) rigs that I have  its with 4  Etash card, Rx580 8gb and Rx 570 4Gb, mostly, and I fit some Rx 550 4gb in order to fill the Pcie slots and  having the PSU  running at 75 %

Needs:
Minimum  to be able to set up intensity/ card. Not just one / rig. Or its already possible and I am a newbie then.
Tryied 25,50,50,50,50 25, argument for intensity but didn't work

Better: to be able to choose which card to use  0,1,3,5,
Perfect: gap with other software  <10 %. Saving on the bill will outsmart the higher speeds

Not sure if I was clear as English isn't my first language

You can count on this rig if you need it

ciao

Thanks for testing, tdid you set double_threads to true ?

If not, try it with that, i got reports that rx550 with double_threads & intensity 13 gives ~ 460HS.
Also Rx570 should go over 900HS with double_threads and intensity 26+.

I will continue working on this miner, unfortunately it won't go very fast as i have tons of other things to do (like work lol).

I have in plan :
- set intensity and double_threads for each gpu
- show gpu temp & fan rpm
- set temperature target

These things are indeed needed.

You were right, I changed and results more or less confirm the feedback you received


All card with basic timestraps meant for Etash, not cryptonight, as I'm not good enough to change (yet):

I had to remove the  rx 550 to test with higher intensity  otherwise it crashed  after 30 minutes at 25

I can confirm of 450 H/s with intensity 14 double thread with the Rx 550 stable and 21 W
 
I can confirm  a little more than 900 with intensity 22  for Rx 570 Pulse and crash after a while when intensity >30 

Rx 580 pulse 8 gb its a little bit below 900 with intensity lower than 28.

More to follow, Higher intensity for sure,and I will have to increase the core speed compared to etash and  I will see how it goes, and let you know

There is some strange pattern on some card results at certain difficulty.
 Can you confirm that hash rate is calculated for each card ?
 
I think so , but I saw this pattern  only once before. prva vrata manje vrata  ? I'm italian so translation isn't accurate..

But what I know, I am not even a miner , just   a farmer 

I was referring to this:



https://imgur.com/3gVzu0S





One card 900,the second one 600 but the total being 1300..

Can't see the image, if you could re-link it please.
Also please download again from https://mega.nz/#F!vAZnXJaQ!Cczik99yNCPYrn2J-wyAHg (https://mega.nz/#F!vAZnXJaQ!Cczik99yNCPYrn2J-wyAHg), as i made some small adjustments, but did not want to call that a new version :)

Sorry, for some reason my relationship with imgur/bitcointalk  have troubles..

so, I just cut & paste here the output on the screen:
All the test at intensity 15 otherwise one of the RX 550 hang

[2018-03-07 11:39:21] GPU0:  358.8 H/S
[2018-03-07 11:39:21] GPU1:  429.2 H/S
[2018-03-07 11:39:21] Total: 831.7 H/S

those are Rx550, first one Asus 4gb (badly modded), second one Sapphire 4 gb

[2018-03-07 11:58:59] GPU0:  787.3 H/S
[2018-03-07 11:58:59] Total: 787.3 H/S
This one is a single RX 570 pulse. Yes it will have better speed at higher intensity but I need to compare with:

but then:

GPU0: Radeon RX 550 Series (8 CU, 15 intensity)
GPU1: Radeon RX 570 Series (32 CU, 15 intensity)
GPU2: Radeon RX 570 Series (32 CU, 15 intensity)
GPU3: Radeon RX 550 Series (8 CU, 15 intensity)

give those results:


2018-03-07 11:29:36] GPU0:  376.8 H/S
[2018-03-07 11:29:36] GPU1:  560.5 H/S   
[2018-03-07 11:29:36] GPU2:  776.3 H/S
[2018-03-07 11:29:36] GPU3:  781.5 H/S
[2018-03-07 11:29:36] Total: 2363.7 H/S

Or the total is wrong or at least  one of the reported hash is well

To clarify more:

[2018-03-07 11:48:25] GPU0:  787.6 H/S
[2018-03-07 11:48:25] GPU1:  631.9 H/S
[2018-03-07 11:48:25] Total: 1247.8 H/S

In which one is a rx 570 , the other a Rx 550...

At the beginning I was thinking, well, may be the calculation take 1 thread from one card and mixed up with a thread from another.
But not, I tested with single threaded, and while the number are different the effect is similar.

Give it a look, and if you need, simply ask.

And no, one change you did (or me not reading it before..), if we set the intensity too high simply the card hang and you need to reboot. It doesn't stop and say something like you wrote on the readme
 









 

Are you going to support Nvidia in the future?

@skablast
I changed the hashrate display now, so it should be ok, there really were some problems in total hashrate display.

@leafpool
No, as i don't have nvidia cards

V1.1 :

- Lot's of bug fixes
- Every GPU can be set manually, by creating an array in config file like :

"gpu_conf" :
[
   { "id" : 0, "intensity" : 0, "double_threads" : true},
   { "id" : 1, "intensity" : 55, "double_threads" : false},
   { "id" : 3, "intensity" : 21, "double_threads" : true},
   { "id" : 4, "intensity" : 0, "double_threads" : true},
]

This example uses GPU's 0,1,3,4 , and GPU 2 is disabled.

To get a list of GPU's in your system use : d0miner.exe --listdevices

V1.2

What is new in V1.2 ?
- Gpu temperature and fan speed in RPM
- Gpu target temperature can be set in config file

V1.3

What is new in V1.3 ?
- Speed improvements
- Monero new algo V7 ready

Ok...

You are faster to release new version than me at testing.

It work
easy , fast enough

rx 550 460   at intensity 20 at 14.000 diff
Rx 570 910  at intensity 29  at 14.000 diff

Log file is mandatory, not optional.

doesn't seem  to have trouble, I noticed a little reduction in hashrate after an hour but not much   I let it run tonight in a rig

If I don't report and Wolff have a fresh beer, you will know its working.

Its a little boring... but it works.

Lol, Last time I 've seen so many green character in a screen I was playing space invaders or something like that

very good miner.tried with Rx 570 4 GB getting 920 h/s before with cast xmr only 805.thanks

V1.4

What is new in V1.4 ?
- Added support for Nicehash
- Added support for SSL/TLS encrypted stratum connections

Lol, well i don't know if a miner should be interesting or boring, but thanks for testing again  8)

Doesn't work ( at all) with Baffin ( rx 460 2gb). It start, he probably compile the kernel, but when first jobs arrive, it say thread 1 & 2 not hashing)

Looks like a great piece of software.
Unfortunately for some reason doesn't work with Tahiti or Pitcairns with AMD 15.12 drivers.

Gives some ADL functions pointer error.

Gave you some merits for your hard work.

re-branded this so its now called SRBMiner :)
