Girino's GPU MINER NEW RELEASE, 35% faster on R9 280x, SOLVED LOST CONNECTION PROBLEM WHEN YPOOL DOWN!!! Build 9 tries to maximize use of local memory. Really fast on GPUs with fast local memory and lots of it (newer AMD cards). If this version is slower in your GPU (NVidia or older cards), use option "-a 2" on the command line to revert to the old OpenCL code. Also, no more freezing on connection lost. (useful on those times of ypool instability). Technical details bellow. EVERYBODY SHOULD UPGRADE TO AVOID FREEZING!!! Very important now that ypool is being constantly DDoSed... Links for download are the same as always, source code is available at: https://github.com/girino/xptMinerand Binaries (linux 32 and 64 bits, windows 64 bits and OSX): https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2wv2awwgebpdo0m/STzOU5tlXaFor those more into the technical issues, the changes are: 1- use of local memory instead of global memory to pass hashes between the several hashing functions (keccak -> shavite -> fugue). This improves performance on machines where local memory is at least 64 * work_group_size + 8K. 2- Linux (and cygwin, for the matter) do not set an error on socket disconnect when calling recv. It just returns a 0 size. Since the original (windows code) was expecting that an error is sent on those cases, the linux code just kept trying forever to receive data in a closed connection. So now, when checking for errors, it is also checking if return size is 0 to mark connection as lost. This solves the "freezing disconnect" bug that was haunting all of us. Enjoy! |

We Need another Pool . ypool is always struck at DDOS . ypool is done .
any other pool for MTS .
We also need a Good Exchange
anyone with experience setting up a pool? I'm willing to set one up and mantain it at least while ypool is down, but i need some assistance since i've never done it before. (there are lots of "howtos" around, but they all focus on scrypt, nothing about how to change the coin or the algorithm...) |

How do I set the step size( -s)?
How high can I go etc?
Also, great work! My GTX 660ti went from 21000 k/hash to 24000 k/hash so far!
With -a 2 it ran at about 20000 k/hash. With -a 1 it went 4000 k/hash higher!
Want to tweak the step size to see if I alter it even more!
Steps range from 15 to 27. (they are powers of 2, so 15 means that each step processes 2^15 hashes = 32K. The default is 19, which means 512K hashes in each step. I think your card would go best with -s 22 or higher). |

GPU Miner by girino, NEW VERSION RELEASED - Build 8
This time my focus was on networking, stability and 32 bits systems. No more crashes, works on 64 and 32 bits, linux and windows!
Forgot to say. To further support the coin, now the mining fee is split between the two developers (me and gigawatt) and also the coin developer (using the dontion address on the first post of this thread). PLEASE, HELP SUPPORT THE COIN! UPGRADE THE MINER |

GPU Miner by girino, NEW VERSION RELEASED - Build 8This time my focus was on networking, stability and 32 bits systems. No more crashes, works on 64 and 32 bits, linux and windows! The networking code from ypool's latest xptminer was merged back. Several changes and tests were made to ensure stability (no more "0kh/s" after some hours, no more closing on network disconnect or server down). Faster than ever, and two new hidden options: -s to set the step size (in powers of 2, defaults to 2^20), and -a to set variations on algorithm. Currently supports "-a 1" for lookup tables in constant memory and "-a 2" (default) for tables in global memory. -a 2 is faster in most systems. The code for metis was reverted to a previous version since it is 2x slower on some NVidia GPUs. Binaries and code available, as always, on the links above. Source code is available at: https://github.com/girino/xptMinerand Binaries (for windows only at present, will add linux later tonight) https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2wv2awwgebpdo0m/STzOU5tlXaEnjoy.

Só que tem gente que vive de "day trade", e pra isso precisa de capital de giro. Principalmente se usar bots...

Pra mim interessariam as seguintes moedas:
XPM (Primecoin)
MTS (Metiscoin)
PTS (Protoshares)
MAX (Maxcoin)
RIC (Riecoin)

can i use this miner behind a http proxy?
Not currently. I use and ssh client to an external machine in order to bypass firewall and proxy. (putty can work over http proxies) |

Well, the difference between this version and gigawatt's version is how we manage the lookup tables. Depending on how your card organizes its memory, his version will be faster. You can try his version here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=452738on my 7870 it shows around 1.5% more hash rates but no significant changes in shares found the only big difference i noticed was around 20% decrease in power consumption !!! wot ever u did, it is a great work girino  i am replacing all miners with yours in next few hours  Probably copying from constant memory to local memory spends less energy than copying from global to local. The only difference, as I said, is that I use constant memory instead of global for the lookup tables. |

Im using R9 280X but im getting 12900 kash only? i need to upgrade any things???

great job! i get about 48000k@6xGV-N660OC-2GD GTX660 2G DDR5,win7x64.but unfortunately，it only work a few minutes，then the miner error and quit,the computer crashed.gigawatt'sbuild get the same result。
Can you capture the screen or not even that? Maybe a picture? |

Hi all, I just released an updated version of my GPU miner. It incorporates most of the improvements made by gigawatt (and for that i share the developer fee with him), but is slightly faster on some GPUs due to some differences in management of large lookup tables from shavite and fugue functions. The support thread for it is: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=447298.0And the binaries are available at: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2wv2awwgebpdo0m/STzOU5tlXaThe default developer fee was increased to 3% so i can share some of it with gigawatt, who did most of the work. But this shouldn't be an issue since it is WAY faster than the older versions. Hope you enjoy! Girino. |

NEW RELEASE, FASTER THAN EVER. Hi all, I just released a new build of this miner with several improvements, thanks to gigawatt. My current version is slightly faster than his, but this might depend on the machine you're running it. (Mostly because i copy AES tables from __constant memory space and he copies it from __global). The binaries for windows, osx and linux are still available on the same old place: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2wv2awwgebpdo0m/STzOU5tlXaPlease run and enjoy.

Getting ERROR: -1001, ,No valid ICDs found
assertion "_MY_ERR_X == CL_SUCCESS" failed: file "xptMiner/OpenCLObjects.cpp line 159, funntion: OpenCLMain::OpenCLMain<>
0 [main] xptminer 1876 open_stackdumpfile: dumping stack trace to xptminer. I really don't have any idea what I'm doing. Was I supposed to add everything from the two folders together into 1 folder then run? Because that's pretty much all I did, and also edited example file for my pools info. Thats it tho. Nope, you should not have messed with the folders! But the error does not seem to be that. Looks like it is unable to identify the vendor/model of your graphics card. Which card do you have? does it support opencl? |
|
|

do you have some recommandation? i don't know which one can support to change multi-displaycard gpu-clock.
your driver should have come with such utility. You should look for it in the support forums for your card manufacturer... |
|
|
|
how to set params to change the gpu-clock and gpu-memclock?
xptminer --gpu-engine ? it doesn't work
This miner doesn't change the GPU clock. You need to use and external tool for that. |

Compiled from code.
strange. Couldn't reproduce it here. But this code is outdated, you should use gigawatt's version which has some optimizations i didn't port back yet. (he used vector types for shavite and metis/fugue, and gained some 20% speed). his code is at: https://github.com/llamasoft/xptMinerIn the same time I have tried gigawatt's version also - and with the same results. Maybe it's due to BAMT 1.2 used (32 bits OS) Hum, probably yes! Even the original networking code from ypool was not meant for 32 bits. This might be solvable, but would take me some time... |
