I am getting about 112 MH/s on a R9 280x. Any chance to mine a block with that?
I'm getting half that on linux miner. A bit more by fiddling with old git commits. Please cleanup that souces! |

Anyone care to explain how to mine this ? Taek obviously doesn't give a shit..
run the wallet, then run the gpu miner. it's that simple. it doesn't work for everybody, though, and the linux+mac version is slower than windows. it looks like diff is rising 'cause I can't find blocks for many hours now. besides, how to get the current difficulty? "siac status" returns a list of numbers I can't understand. C:\Users\Michael>C:\Users\Michael\Desktop\sia-gpu-miner-win64\sia-gpu-miner.exe
Failed to load kernel. Whats next ? Thanks for the answer tho.. try using this cl file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-GPU-Miner/cccc1b54e7396718128dcc1e8923e19c84e98900/gpu-miner.cl |

Guys, what is the reference price for one SC?  $50 or 0.(2) btc per 300,000 siacoins 50 USD per block found? really? PM me and I'll sell you mine! |

where are the gpu miner sources related to the "fixed" cl file, the one on pastebin?
it looks like it has different kernel parameters than the one on git.
EDIT: the precompiled win version uses the new cl file and is faster, please provide its sources, otherwise mac and linux users will hash slower than windows ones!

Global work size automatic tuning doesn't work, at least on linux.
I've set local and global worksize manually and it works much faster.
I also had to average out the hashrate printed as it was jumping up and down too much.
I also did a couple cl optimizations.

gpu miner after a bit of time says "curl did not receive enough bytes", restart it, mines 50 blocks per second :-D
need to restart wallet to make it work again.

4 blocks mined with the cl file provided in the tar file. should I used the fixed cl in pastebin instead, even if it looks to be working? another question: is upnp support included? if yes, is it enabled by default? because when I click "announce", it says I need to open the port. |

It would be epic to couple a 980-ti with a solar system. Assuming it could be done for $1,500-$2,000; at 2,000 satoshi, 80 curecoins per day, and a bitcoin price of $400 that could pay for itself in: 6 to 9 years...  At 10,000 satoshi, and $250 per bitcoin it could pay for itself in 2 to 3 years. Total back of the napkin calculations from a noob who just googled GPU power consumption and solar panel costs  but I'd appreciate input. As a molecular biologist, environmentalist, and crypto and curecoin enthusiast I may be willing to tackle such a project if the math appears close. Perhaps it could claim solarcoin as well. I have solar panels and what I can tell you for sure is that there are a lot of ways to use the extra energy better (I.e. more profitable) than mining any crypto. - sending it back to the grid - accumulating it to use at night or during bad weather - trying to use high power appliances when sunny instead of at low cost hours (ex. night) - heating by heat pump instead of gas or oil - buy an electric car Etc. Moreover solar panels generate electricity only when sunny, so not suited to full time power consuming jobs. I think you should plan solar panels for your house or office regardless of mining. Then you might want to use it for mining as well... But you'll see at the moment. |

Lyra2RE optimized bins/kernels?
what results with 280x or 290?
See my signature |

I pulled the last record - 7.4MH/s or so, no rejects over 40min.
Wow, nice work. I tried reading through your comments in your optimized whirlpool miner for any hints but I still have no clue  That won't really help too much with Quark - but there is a way to optimize that Whirlpool miner further - left as an exercise for the reader. "Further" = 2x :-D |

is it a fork of boolberry with a different algo just or am ı understanding wrong ?
Why do you think that? "The foundation of Sia is a proof of work blockchain" this is in the explanation so i've asked Why does "proof of work blockchain" makes you think of boolberry first? :-D |

got the mac wallet running, seems I had the old version running still to clarify this is still beta, I have some siacoins claimed, but not yet showing. how will that all work? thanks maybe you just need to wait for enough confirmations... how many blocks ago did you get your coins? |

also 'cause of improvements in both amd and nvidia miners ;-) |

Did that: compiled the daemon and client from git, they seem to work, the gpu miner doesn't echo any error but freezes my pc a couple seconds after it loads.
Other opencl applications run just fine.
It freezes my computer too. The other people developing for Sia haven't had this problem. I'm not sure what the problem is, but there's probably something we can do about it. The GPU miner intentionally hogs 100% of the GPU. I think it's related to that - things haven't actually frozen, it's just that there are no resources available on the GPU for loading the desktop, etc. hmmm it freezes the keyboard as well, and the cpu load goes down, I can feel it by the fan noise. so it's just a system freeze caused by the gpu, hard reset needed. it might depend on the card model, the driver version and if they are on linux or win (me on lin). |

Updated the donation text in the OP:
If you feel you can donate to: 1H7qC5uHuGX2d5s9Kuw3k7Wm7xMQzL16SN
Or just mine a bit with the provided start.bat which loads the included lyra2re.conf:
{
"pools" : [
{
"name" : "NiceHash_Lyra2RE",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://lyra2re.eu.nicehash.com:3342",
"user" : "",
"pass" : "d=1",
"algorithm" : "Lyra2RE",
"intensity" : "15",
"gpu-engine" : "835",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"worksize" : "128",
"gpu-threads" : "2"
}
]
}
because of the new nicehash urls and removal of yaamp.
zip archives updated as well: no need to update, only the conf file is changed.

if you were smart you would be buying up vanilla now, as we are not far away from the implementation of 0 second transactions, which is a big deal.
buy now or buy @ x10 - thats all up to you.
hmmm... i'm thinking of buying in at around x7 remember: buy low, sell high. it's that easy ;-) |

When I started last year the gtx 980 was doing less than 6 MHASH @x11 ccminer djm version. Without my code the gtx980 was slower than the AMD 290x. (6.2MHASH). Now in May 2015 we are mining x11 at 10-11MHASH. quark at 20MHASH etc etc.. I haven't done all the optimalizations myself, but most of them are mine. So keep sending some beers guys. Without development the private mining will die slowiy and private kernals will take over..  I'm with you Sir: people please support opensource miners for the benefit of all. No good opensource miners means no way for the common people to mine. Only for a bunch of big farms. |

Thank you sp I think once you start your builds on the 980ti the performance will go way up....and so do the donations. I think the 980ti card is to expensive for me to buy. Please ask NVIDIA to send me a card for free   And continue to donate some beers. A few bucks is bether than nothing.. How about a donation address for a 980ti for you sp? Put it on your signature. You seem to never have experienced programming for free and expecting donations... What? I mean the cost of a 980ti will never de covered by donations. Maybe 1/10th of it. I have two opensource miners/kernels and have received not even "a low end card" :-D |
