Hi everyone,

I want to introduce a new open source miner based on the avermore miner. It supports x16r/x16s/x17/xevan/tribus/aergo algoritms. All list of the optimizatins you could see on github by release changelog or by the commits.

Speed for sgminer-kl 1.0.9:
x16r / x16s average hashrate:
Vega64: 18.6 MH/s

x17 hashrate:
Vega64: 20.4 MH/s

phi hashrate:
Vega64 33.5 MH/s (-w 256)

tribus hashrate:
Vega64 88.6  MH/s (-w 256)

polytimos hashrate:
Vega64 40.0 MH/s

geek hashrate:
Vega64 29.2 MH/s

aergo hashrate:
Vega64 7.0 MH/s

c11 hashrate:
Vega64 22.6 MH/s

skunk hashrate:
Vega64 52.5 MH/s (-w 256)

Test done on:
Vega64 OC settings: core 1425/920, memory 1100/920
Miner settings: -X 256 -g 2
Windows 10, AMD 18.6.1 driver

It contains a 1% devfee to have a motivation to continue the work on the miner.

I look forward to hearing your feedback about this new release.

Last version sgminer-kl 1.0.9: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.9

Add linux binary

I agree but if you're using linux it shouldn't be an issue as building things on linux is easy

New version sgminer-kl-1.0.1: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.1

New version sgminer-kl-1.0.2: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.2

What wrong with xevan for vega's GPU?  >:(

x17 works like a charm and is faster than old sgminer x17 fork. Do you have plans for adding/optimizing other algos like lyra2z, c11, tribus etc?

Yes I will add a new algos, and optimize the old ones if I will find a way how to do it )

Hi,

everytime I try this or Avermore after some time some cards are off/dead. played with -X and -I or- -g but no difference. other/former versions of sgminer or GG never had this problem.
any ideas?

BTW.
I started to follow the build instructions in VS, but stuck, may I ask for more detailed despription, especially the part "4. PDCurses", what win32 folder?

Try a less greedy OC / UV especially if you have mod cards

buddy, that's a
stupid comment, as I said other miners with same same settings don't fuck up, also algos like neoscrypt, phi (bitbandi), xevan, etc.

Do you have a log file, to see what can go wrong?

Minor thing, but Version 1.0.2 still says "sgminer-kl v1.0.1" in the top left of the program window.  ;)

Fixed this in last build  ;D https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.3

And still xevan HW errors on Vegsa's :(

I have 10 AMD Rigs. 60% of them do this. The rigs I have success with are higher grade cards (Nitro+ and Gaming X). Lower grade cards (Armor/DUAL) will get 1 card going dead quite often. Really annoying. Even with stock bios and stock clocking. Tried multiple drivers.

Did you try to lower intensity or run the miner without -g 2 flag?

New version sgminer-kl-1.0.4: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.4

@KL0nLutiy1

ubuntu 16.04, try to mining X17 algo


kl-1.0.4, ubuntu 16, compile error


kl-1.0.0 release binary linux - getting error:


kl-1.0.0 and kl-1.0.1 compile is ok,
but not getting good shares to pool


run script:

config:

I ordered a new equipment. Will receive it next week to setup linux on it. For now linux version may be broken  :-[

Brothers what is the difference between sgminer-kl 1.0.5 and sgminer-kl 1.0.4 and another question is work with Lyra2z

which sounds like comparing apples with bananas.
Different miners even to solve same algos use different kernels.

Please fix it so Vegas work with Xevan and add Lyra2z and LyraRev2

In sgminer-kl 1.0.5 added new aergo algo, add linux build, did some dev pool switching changes. More info about the project: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3880383.0

The new algorithm is very good, also interested, and will be a Supplement to work mining Lyra2z?

For know I can't make competitive to tdxminer miner for Lyra2z algo, but I will look in this direction

On forum kerney666 showed screenshots sgminer there RX 580 mining on lyra2z - 5.00 Mhs
https://imgur.com/gDSNJLZ
But he's not getting in touch. Try please, I think You will do better ;)

Hey, I am getting a ton of rejected shares (Low difficulty share) anything I can do?

It means wrong algo setting somewhere.

1.0.5 did not work on linux and did not work os windows

Use last fixed version https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.5fix

Could you please add more details what is not working?

is it possible to connect to an USB GPU ?
I have an USB GPU (COM3) on my notebook. It runs on Windows.
The GPU has STM chip. I can connect to GPU by using STM com driver.

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.

You are actually breaching the terms of the original GPL v3 license by not releasing sources, and have the guts to demand money for it  :D :D :D

Have you read carefully the license ?

4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.

The binary is distributed freely, so.. Where do we get the source code?  ;)


ps. verbatim means the original unmodified version
but you can actually distribute modified version for a price or for free, as long as the source is provided

The same is for modified sources:

5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.

  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to

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.

Hi.
KL0nLutiy1, can you compile linux version with Vega's support?
Now compiled linux release works with vegas with x10 lower hash rate.

I wonder how much code was originally written by you, instead of copying from other projects.

New version sgminer-kl 1.0.6: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.6

I've been trying hard to solomine with your miner directly to wallets but it didn't work. Is it that getwork support is removed ? Would it be possible to put it back in ?

Hi) This miner supports coins on the phi2 algorithm as LUXcoin

Does latest version sgminer-kl 1.0.6 needs newest AMD drivers?

System freezes after 5-6 minutes mining at Suprnova.

70GB pagefile and August 23 blockchain drivers for RX 580 8GB are used. No issues mining ETH with claymore. Total 8 cards.

Hello KL,

xevan hashrates (doesn't work with all cards yet):
...
Vega: N/A (HW errors)

...

it does not work with VEGA64 (4.4MH/s but nothing will be found), same with Fiji (1.8MH/s).

Do you working on it?

Thanks.

New version sgminer-kl 1.0.7: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.7

New version sgminer-kl 1.0.9: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-kl/releases/tag/kl-1.0.9

Decent job, Kl0n.
It's still old, clunky, unoptimised SGminer... but I think it's the fastest old, clunky and unoptimised SGminer for x16r I've seen so far. Still burning way to much power imo... And 5 GTX 1080's still outperform 6 Vega 56's at half the power draw.

Keep chugging. I'm confident that at some point somebody will come up with a new x16 miner for AMD that will blow everything else out of the water.

Are there any additional plans for x22i / lyra2Z / phi2 /?

Check this:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5028462.40

System turns off after 3-4 minutes mining at Suprnova.

PSU are fine. 3 cards tested and the system stills turns off completely.
Temperatures are ok.

Mining any other algo with other miners works great for days.

70GB pagefile and August 23 blockchain drivers for RX 580 8GB are used. Asus B250 used.

Hello,

How to cross compile this miner, any instructions?
And are you able to add 5 new algos?

You could use instruction from avermore miner: https://github.com/brian112358/avermore-miner/wiki. Which algos do you want me to add to the sgminer-kl?

Hello,

It are 6 new algos.

Astralhash, blake2b, Globalhash, Jeonghash, Padihash and Pawelhash.
Would be good if you can contact me, this are all GLT GlobalToken unique algos.

Blake2b is not Sia here.

Thanks.

Any idea why this miner force shut down the whole rig after some minutes?

No temperature or PSU problems. Same behavior  with only one GPU.

U could try to use a very clean .bat file, just the pool, workername/password, -i 18 and let it run.. sgminer is one of the most unstable miners out there, but it can also be one of your settings.. So keep the .bat file clean.


Ps. yes i know its an old reply, can be other ppl come here and can use the answer.

I cant get it built, no matter how I try. AMD switched from opencl to rocm, its not so easy.
