that's normal: all the faster whirlpoolx miners use cpu to precompute part of the hash, see the public wolf miner for details.
on a side note, I measured a system running both with a supercheap sempron and a powerful fx: exactly the same idle power consumption, so no reason to make sempron rigs.

Just wanted to say I've tried applying some of the tricks I learnt working on whirlpoolx to the groestl kernel, but it's not so simple.
This kernel is much bigger in size so you can't just copy some good lines of code and it runs faster. Furthermore some of the optimizations I made in the past, make it more time consuming to apply some apparently simple hacks. Wolf0 I'm sure you know what I mean ;-)
Still there is room for improvement, I have some ideas, but the question is: when the profit is gone, and the fun is gone, is it still worth?

congrats to the winner!
If they were only mining with one S3 talk about Luck! Looks like they stopped after hitting because I couldn't see the address listed. Smart to stop - no shot for that miner to hit a second time. (well maybe 5 yrs later)
Well, that's not exactly how randomness works... So much widespread... |

Pallas, can you rewrite this groesl-256 implementation to a groestl-512 and add it to sgminer (x11,x13,x15).?
Sorry for the delay. That would be nice, but everybody's using wolf0's binaries, so why? It would make sense if there is a plan to opensource optimized versions of most of the algos. |

Have not updated for a long time GPU miners.
What do you mean? Greedy developers do not share improved miners. Then code one yourself :-) |

ROFL
These fuckers are buying at incredible spreads thinking that this shitcoin will go on like this forever
this coin is better than any coin out there , so tell me why you see it as a shitcoin please? Problem is, it isn't "out there". What's wrong with this picture? Net hash = 300 Gh/s Rank Donor User Name KH/s VNL/Day 1 anonymous 99,931,580 13,910.653 2 kuyiuyzj 63,457,932 8,833.457 3 anonymous 9,162,597 1,275.450 4 vnl1234 8,142,145 1,133.401 5 anonymous 7,884,051 1,097.474 6 anonymous 6,751,714 939.851 7 there are some big miners, some solo mining and some on suprnova? gosh, never seen anything like that on other coins!!! :-D |

Maybe I'm blind but I can't find the list of recent payments for an address anywhere in the site.
I believe it used to be in the "wallet" page but it's there no longer...

That's about as far as my parse got before I went, "Is that a fucking NULL pointer dereference?"
Yes  Indexed address is calculated in bitselect. LUT0 and LUT4 indexing is just single AND operation. EDIT: Oh, wait UINT8 is byte, not int vector. I probably went too far redefining every type Okay... I'm guessing that you've removed bits from the tables and are regenerating them on the fly, but I can't quite figure out how. Then again, bitwise ops aren't really my best subject... Tables are constant, just prerotated left by 3 bit (size of one uint2 when used as index). Well, this stuff needs comments, if kernel will be published. Money are in X11 and Monero, not so much value in Whirlpool code, I could just drop it somewhere, but it will give everyone free boost in X11  Maybe not: people are using wolf0's precompiled x11 binaries, just adding your trick to stock kernels will not come close to them speed-wise. |

I've also lived and worked in st. Petersburg Russia. My collegues are some of the best programmers in the world.
Ok but it looks like you mistaken this thread for a job search one :-D |

Today i earn $xxx.xxx a year. Optimizing is just a hobby..
same for me. still, if a fun job also remunerates, it's even better ;-) |

15 years ago I worked for a company in the silicon valley. My collegues earned xxx.xxx$ but I was a student at san francisco state u.
20 years ago I started programming professionally. Still, a lot of my work is free or almost free :-) I was wondering if us (miner developers) should unite to take the best out of it. |

Good work on the groest. Smolens quark miner does around 2 mhash on the 280x.
My gtx 980 does 20mhash. The competition is sleeping...
I think that just applying some well known tricks, already available on public kernels, will bring quark hashrate to around 10. Thing is, it's not funny. Optimizing single kernel algos is much more interesting, imho. |

it is the latest, from OP(old one worked, but is slow now ) I also have sdk version 3 maybe you have an old dll somewhere which gets loaded instead of the new one? |

Any chance of getting your latest OCL source to try on 280x (Hawaii) I assume you meant Tahiti. I've acquired a 280x myself: it's not worth using v2 on it, hashrate is lower than with v1. Doh, yeah Tahiti 2 wavefronts not possible? Both me and Wolf0 tried that and (at least for me) stopped trying after a while. Funny no longer ;-) I think I've beaten your ASM with pure OpenCL on 290X. Some of your last tips (and smolen's) can be applied to this kernel as well, I think it can reach 38/40 Mh/s ;-) |

Does anybody knows solution to this problem? I got the same error with catalyst 13.12, 14.12, 15.3  the latest miner version shouldn't need that call. or, update your amd app sdk to version 3 beta. |

VNL 5k in polo up up up  pump and dump or just pump? |

i don't remember now but, can this miner mine cryptonite?
no mate ... but sp has his private miner that is optimized for that algo ... #crysx What kind of hash for a GTX 750 ti? Will 660 ti work? i cant exactly remember - but it was ok ... from memory - tsiv's miner ( which sp optimized - and correct me if im wrong sp ) was close but didnt hash as much as sp's optimized miner ... i need sleep now - so i could be way off the mark - but i can test it again for you tomorrow to get an exact hashrate if you like ... #crysx It is a cost-benefit thing. If there is enough extra hashpower to cover the cost relatively shortly, through mining XMR, then it would be worth the cost. Depends on the cost though. I would be more happy with miners that took a percentage fee from the hashpower vs a one time charge for it. Sort of a willing botnet where the dev keeps getting paid to infinity and makes it worthwhile to keep developing and improving. the problem with miner and a percentage fee is that, to be honest, a developer should code his own miner (not use a modified opensource one). It also moves the risk from the miner to the developer. |
