I ordered him the job. https://www.freelancer.com/projects/Software-Architecture-C-Programming/convert-code-Cuda-OpenCL.html
He threw me
It's his code, according to some features

I'm not him. CPUminer is used as a base - of course the output is similar.

hope you paid a lot for that  ;D (sorry this is a little pathetic  ;D)
Next, you should order something from a hacker to uncrypt claymore miner (might have already done it  ;D)

This topic has appeared on the following day after vehre refused to quit. This is also a chance?

How do you know Claymore's is faster? This doesn't even work yet - it uses ONE GPU work-item and ONE thread.

anyhow, I fail to see the interest claymore algo is way much faster... (if it is just to get the bounty.... at 50USD/hour, it would cost you more)

It really shouldn't matter who made it first or claim come with it first, main focus is to get it working. Then credit can be given to all involved.

It doesn't mean it will stay the fastest.
If more people get involved in the open GPU miner, we're probably going to see better optimisations.

Bump  ;D

I'm stunned that there seems to be zero developer interest in this. I've finished a good 70% of it at least, and the github seems dead.

What's the bounty for this now?  Maybe we can promote it a bit more.  To get more donations and interest.

Woke up. Weird, only been a few hours. Forgot donation addresses; if you want to donate, here:

Any update?  ;D

Yes, working on finding a bug. After that's done, finishing it up shouldn't be too hard.

I tested on an Nvidia card, so AMD might be a little pickier.

Looks like pretty minor errors, but I have no time to hack on this now.

Of course - it's open source. But while I don't agree with the amount of his fee, I think devs should be paid - and it's not like more than 2-3% of people donate.

I released a 2x faster cpuminer for XMR a while ago - I got less than 0.2 BTC in donations. Believe me, donators are in the minority.

I need to know if it gets correct hashes  ;D

I think a donation fee is ok. Its fair to give developer a share, and this way everyone donates proportional to their "income".

5% is not okay though because we have electricity to pay for too ...

Why not?!
A miner which gives you 2x the speed of regular one (if any!) and you think 5% is too much?
Don't use it then.
Its a win-win for the developer AND users. Until better way to reward devs is found
 

we have to cover electricity costs 5% is too much and he charges that much because he knows we don't have any other option, if i'm not going to profit (electricity is 80% of my mining revenue + 5% dev fee + 2% pool fee) after paying for electricity then what is the point .....

also 2 x faster 100 x faster difficulty will normalize that when everybody starts using that miner

devfee should never be over 1 ~ 2 % as a maximum because tons of users will be using that miner and hash for him at no electricity cost so why be greedy, i mean the dev will still end with a huge amount of electricity free hashes ...

Noooooooooope.

I'd get on optimizing this one if it was working. Wish there was someone else with OCL knowledge.

+1  ;D (actually those who give aren't generally the big whale (who have to pay their electricity bill and pool fee... ;D good one  ;D) but rather the small users, or some coin supporters in some case... the community doesn't show a lot its appreciation... )

look u r going to defend the 5% fee and then u come here and talk oh come on even the op doesn't agree with such a high fee ... that is pure GREED period !

Still messing with the opencl, but there's no point in having a dev fee if it's open source.

I only have .so's of libOpenCL, what am i missing?. I copied the CL dir from /opt/AMDAPP/include

Best regards!

Is there any progress on miner
