1721  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Optiminer/Zcash v1.3.0 (GPU, Linux, AMD) on: January 17, 2017, 09:28:15 PM
I'm getting an "argument index out of range" error with v1.4 on a 290.  Works fine on 1.3.2.  Tried changing intensity values, taking out "experimental-kernel" but no luck.  Anyone else?

This is a problem with nicehash and v1.4. Use a different pool or run 1.3.2 on nicehash.

Will try to provide a fix.

The root of the problem is that nicehash sometimes uses extremely long extranonces . This violates some of the optimizations I made for v1.4.0 which causes this error (it should have printed a nice log message but there was a bug there which ended up in this cryptic message).

Are you going to fix the index out of range errors with the experimental kernel on tahiti cards?

So Sir. Claymore seems to have given up at 260 sol/s on RX 480.
My experiments are going well, so this target is totally doable, methinks.

And if Optiminer is still taking a 10% dev fee then 265/.9 = 294 sols/s gross speed.


That seems like a real challenge for me.
I must admit that there is a little sadistic guilty pleasure in cutting down somebody else's big money tree, but I'm only a human...

Well he's so damn greedy and his dev fee so ridiculous you only need to reach 266 before everyone dumps his miner Wink

I just can't wait until both him and claymore learn their lessons the hard way. You don't get to to rip off and screw over the people in this OPEN SOURCE community, and bite the hand that feeds you and not get bitten in the ass eventually.

zawawa here is .1 btc for about the only noble open source miner dev efforts I have seen on here in a while...good to see there are still people on here that get what this whole movement is about  Grin https://btc.blockr.io/tx/info/e8a2a8f60c50b285e18ebb381bf1be57f629924449ffce10a12f5c9005937c74

So Sir. Claymore seems to have given up at 260 sol/s on RX 480.
My experiments are going well, so this target is totally doable, methinks.

9 rounds takes ~1.2GB of external memory bandwidth when you use GDS for the row counters.  The Rx 480 has 256GB/s of theoretical bandwidth, but even with copied straps, you won't get much more than 200GB/s.  200/1.2 = 166.7 itterations per section, * 1.87 sols/i =~ 312 sols/s.  You'll probably have to experiment with SLC and/or GLC memory IO in order to get over 275 sols.


Keep up the good work guys...seems like Claymore has once again screwed over linux users, so I will keep donating here and hopefully we can all switch over to this open source miner soon.
1724  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v11.1 (Windows/Linux) on: January 16, 2017, 11:41:46 PM
v11.1:

- improved speed, about 365H/s on stock 390X, 385H/s on stock Nano, 260H/s on stock 280X, 260H/s on stock RX480.
- improved compatibility.
- some bug fixes and minor improvements.

NOTES:
1. It seems there is no way to get full speed on latest drivers for Fiji and Polaris cards, at least in Windows. So don't use latest drivers for Fury, use 15.12 or 16.3.2. Since old drivers don't support Polaris, there is no way to get full speed for these cards at all, at least in Windows.
2. Tonga - currently I cannot get enough speedup from assembler for this card so I did not include assembler kernel for this card.

Ok, so can you release the linux version that has no such limitations to what you can do with the asm, instead of continuing to develop for crap windows first?

Low diff has nothing to do with higher Hashrate, in fact you'll get a more accurate hahsrate average with lower diff. If anything you'll get higher "peaks" with higher diff shares.
1726  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v11.0 (Windows/Linux) on: January 14, 2017, 09:34:07 PM
I have 2 Rx480 and 1 Rx470

Working perfect with one card directly plugged into pcie x16 and 2 usb powered risers

Now I bought another Rx480 with usb riser

So my problem is with 4 cards plugged into Mother board PC (Win 10) does not boot...
Fans are spinning on all 4 cards
Anybody know why??

Maybe its because of PSU?
Its 750 Watt


I have to undervotlage my 4xRX480 4GB to run from a 1000W PSU. Really can't see how 750W would have a chance.

lol I run 8x RX470s from a 850 watt PSU Wink

Why do not you tell people how much you reduce the clock speed graphics cards? Grin

1150/1900 obviously custom bios undervolted etc. Still pulls 890 at the wall, but the point of my post is as long as you know how to balance rails and tune everything right there is no reason you can't run a PSU at its max capacity.

Negotiating with bitmain to get first dibs on their batch 2. Price will be cheaper than retail, and main thing is shipping will be cheap since I will get a pallet shipment. Ill pass savings on to you guys if there are enough in the US interested. Only downside is that the whole shipment will be delivered to NY, then I will have to ship each unit out from there to the rest of you (probably 10-20 additional if I ship ground...way better than the 100+ bitmain will charge per unit from china though).

You know bitmain does only 5% off on really large orders ?
something like 250+ machines

exactly

Yes I wouldnt be talking to them unless it was for quantity :p I have a separate project going on, and figured I could help you guys out with price as well between discount and shipping price savings.  
1729  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Antminer L3 - 250mh - 400watt Scrypt miner coming soon on: January 13, 2017, 06:37:47 PM
Innosilicon dropped their price for Dominator A4. Nice move.
to what? they don't show on site, says "ask us, as we have machines we cant sell" :/
also says "most powerful on market" ya 30mh/s more than L3, at TWICE the power -- misleading much?
ALSO says "atleast 1050w PSU" good luck on that they DRAW 1050 or more -- so misleading.
i wont touch these, they wouldn't try snow us so much IF they cared about this community as more than a paycheck
im still going all L3
1400$
power consuption 800W with overclocked to 300 MH

is there any evidence that the Innosilicon suddenly gained the ability to starting hashing at 300MH and dropped energy usage by ~200W other than a marketing release?

They could have switched to a serial power design...last time i talked to them their first batch of miners were parallel based design (ie about 4-5 chips per DC-DC power buck) in order to reduce time to market, and they were going to switch to serial later on(string of chips running off 12v like bitmain). If they did that in their new batch they could possibly gain 10-15% in power efficiency.

Claymore, We wait Linux v.11
me too...
Please do not make us linux users unhappy.
me too...

+100
I offer to chip in for the speed of the process.

We already "chip in" more than enough..he has received tens of thousands of dollars from linux users and continues to do so, just like every other windows user, but still decides to treat linux users second rate.

You might take a look at https://github.com/nicehash/nheqminer
at least for NV its nicehash source of their solver

also Claymore 11 started using assembler and he managed a lot to boost a speed for older AMD HW as tahiti, hawai (280x, 380, 390, fury, nano) etc, no RX optimization

I am planning to port my stuff to nheqminer as well.
 
It is not all that surprising that his miner got a huge boost as I already disclosed my plan for optimizations with a GCN assembler. It is rather amusing to think about how far I can push this "competition" and whether open-source miners can surpass closed-source counterparts in performance. I will work on the GCN assembly version of my kernel when I get back home tonight.

It can still be "open sourced" and not disclose your plans ahead of time Wink Of course that defeats the purpose of open-source collaboration, which is the current sad state of crypto-currencies.

Ironic isent it? A project that was founded upon open source for the betterment of man kind, which at its founding nature was supposed to be the opposite of greed and corruption...has turned into just that...
1733  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v11.0 (Windows/Linux) on: January 11, 2017, 11:27:43 PM
No difference for me.
6 RX 470 4 GB, same results with version 10

You guys read anything? He clearly mentioned increasing speed with an ASM kernel for Hawaii, Fury, Tahiti and Pitcairn cards. There was no speedup for polaris, and sounds like he's working on Polaris ASM next.
1734  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v11.0 (Windows/Linux) on: January 11, 2017, 11:08:07 PM
Wow! That's it for v11? Those new numbers still aren't even close to Optiminer v1.3. I'm getting over 400 Sols/s on my Nanos, stock clocks, with optiminer - after the devfee.

Seems like Tahiti is the new king card...getting 280h/s on mine with moded bios (and clock under 1ghz...could prob get over 300 if I really pushed them). Not bad for a 5 year old $90 card Wink
1735  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's ZCash AMD GPU Miner v10.0 (Windows/Linux) on: January 09, 2017, 10:50:57 PM
Wow, Optiminer really pulled ahead on this release.

His speedups don't really matter with the shitty stratum code he has compared to claymore...wont run more than a few hours before it loses connection and just stops mining and needs a manual restart.

....
with a 3% difficulty increase.....
LOL
Are you fucking noobs?
With 3% difficulty increasement it will be 1212000 (up in 16 time from now) in 365 days. It is absolutely impossible.
Even bitcoin with the super bull trend in 2016 year had only 3 time difficulty increasement from 103,880,340,815 to 317,688,400,354.
Man you need to learn to count .
Agreed with you.
I recommand using this calc
https://bitcoinwisdom.com/litecoin/calculator
allow you to count difficulty, and you'll see ROI is hard.... super hard, even with free electricity.
The ROI is 111 days with free electricity !!!
This is the best invesment in mining hardware at the moment.
Hummm how do you calculate ?
if i put 3% diff, hahs 250MH, price 1600$, pool fee 2%, electricity free, the ROI is 700days
Man you need to learn to count .
3 % diff? 2% pool fee? What a nonsense!

Max diff could be 150-200k in the end of 2017. it is only 0,75-0,8% of average increment.

You guys do realize that the bitcoinwisdom calc is still doing the calculation with 50 LTC block rewards right? So its off by a factor of two.

This calculator is accurate: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/ltc?HashingPower=250&HashingUnit=MH%2Fs&PowerConsumption=400&CostPerkWh=.01

Thats an 8 month ROI with zero electricity and diff increase. Factor in power, and even if your running on a mutipool with very good returns your looking at a year ROI if your lucky. Plus you wont pay 1600 after shipping costs, PSU etc.
1737  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Interest thread for Evliop linux build for pandaminer on: January 05, 2017, 08:10:53 PM
seriously? just download 16.04 ubuntu and install the amdgpu-pro drivers...

If it was only that easy Smiley

Well, yeah, it is that easy, but there are no supported drivers for the NIC, which is a PCIe NIC.
If you boot the system, go into the bios of the main board, you'll see as first boot "windows boot loader",  not just the msata disk like in any other case.
So in other words, just installing ubuntu, yeah, perhaps  Wink
It wasn't "just" installing ubuntu when i first got it..

It has everything pre-configured, every single miner out there is on it ready to run with a perfectly optimized config for each algo out there.

Oh yeah, but that's already clear enough, modified roms, so not only copied straps but custom ones and of course VDDC offset added.

Greetings. Smiley


[...] pandaminer [...]
It might be better option for Evliop to contact them , and try to get a deal with them for his hard work Smiley


This. Exactly my thought.

You should contact them and you'll quickly notice how awesome communicating with those guys is  Grin

Ive never heard of any modern NIC that not PCIe based...I understand charging for moded roms, but for a free OS that needs a few configuration changes and some drivers installed is a bit of a stretch.

ill probably buy one of these and ill just post a working linux clone as soon as I get it, or more easily the instructions needed to run it on linux.

Ok, Just throwing a feeler out there to see who is interested...  

I am talking with someone in China who says he can get us the L3's at a pretty good cost.  I am pressing him for the details now and will flush out if this is real or not.  If it does turn out to be real I might be crazy enough to try and setup a group buy on these things.  

So let me know if you might be interested, and how many units you would be wanting.  I have no idea on the price yet, but let's just use the mythical number $1600 each plus shipping.  Could be higher, could be lower.  Use that as a planning number for the moment.  Also if we do a large order there will be customs to pay so we have to keep that in mind also.

So let me know what you guys think.   Right now I can say that the info I have so far is quite sketchy so I don't know how real this is...  But thought it would be worth putting feelers out to see how many we might want if we can get them for a decent price.  This will give me a possible planning number for trying to push for the best price possible.  Thanks!

So let me know:
Yes, ready to make a commitment if this is real, I want <#>
No, No thanks I will wait for Bitmain to make them available
Maybe, I need more info, but I might want <#>

I would be in for 10 units, but the deal would have to be pretty good for that amount.
