Good for solo mining now but at least it is good start!!

Time to move away from paid and Windows only miner!

Btw, using protection software to lock ppl to Windows is lame ..

Yes, I get it's a side point, but nobody was using protection to lock people to Windows. They are using it to make sure they get paid.

any coders out there think they can port this over to windows for those of us that don't/can't use linux?

What's lame is keeping miners closed source.

Good to see one finally that is open source.

Perhaps, there might be a slight possibility that you should learn something about the technology that you're using then?

I want to agree with you .. but it may be too challenging in this case .. its like do you really need to know all of a car's internals in order to drive a car?

Successful compilation does not mean it will work ... since the largest dependency is the AMD SDK and AMD GPU itself.

if you look at the readme file, it is said that you have to set all that yourself... (I tried on windows but never got it to make a proper makefile for mingw... and visual studio just found a bunch of error).

any idea ?

yupe, I faced the same prob. you need the catalyst 14.3's libamdocl64.so.
you can either
1) install catalyst 14.3
2) extract the file from catalyst 14.3 and also follow below ...

1) Either point your xpmclminer to use the new libamdocl64.so or
2) replace but make a backup of your original file (not good idea, use 1)

I encourage ppl whose rig is multi-boot (Linux and Win) and has installed PrimeGPU (and Claymore) to try this out as well and compare the performance. This miner may not fare worse than the 2 protected & paid miners that supposedly are better.

Also bare in mind that since this is open source, any improvements made to this will likely surfaced in the other 2 miners ..

is it possible to runt this miner witn 13.12 amd driver ?
i have seagfults all the time, trying to replace amdopencllib from 14.3 beta, still nothing

EDIT: oh i already read on github new redme, its required to use 14.1 and copy amdlib from catalysty because 2.9 sdk has broken OpenCL

I like ypool for being the first xpm pool. But I dislike the near monopoly of the network hash power and their frequency of being down a lot, even with ddos protection.

They need pools to bounce miners off once 51% of the hash at a pool until it's under 51% with some kind of software feature, like a hash rate throttling of sorts.

It will run on Windows and it works for Nvidia cards. Though Nvidia cards are way slower than AMD cards for this miner.

@djm34, yah, it does. it will print a bunch of multiline text instead of "new block .. ".

@SpeedDemon13. Not very fast. around 0.5G to 0.6G depending on your card. I have not actually tested it, just reporting a result from peercointalk forum.

That's bad. Guess there needs to be an optimization for VLIW5/4 for those cards to work better.

Yes it is pretty slow...
I get around 5G (whatever G is...) with a 290x and 3G with a 780ti (but at this value it crashes after 1/2 hours)
Is there a way to run both AMD and Nvidia card in the same session ?

looking into the main program on github:

int gChainLength = 10; (max Chain Length)

(assuming the binaries are using the exact same content as the github)
I don't think you'll ever find any xpm chains with a difficulty of 10.8

I found a few blocks of 10.8 already.

didn't see the previous comment... but you are right, was doing some test and a higher than 10 also popped out with 10 max length...
However my comment was made after doing some test on testnet  (difficulty 6.7) and putting maxlength of 6, I never saw a block.
