AHASHPOOL only pay out in BTC, so you can change the definition to:

Except the AMD miner crashes every time

Or did anyone actually made it work somehow?




its working

not in my case, unfortunately...

424  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: What is the best coin to mine with a CPU on a linux computer on: November 18, 2017, 09:32:58 AM
There is a new coin called Yenten that is CPU only and growing popular. You can get a good hashrate with even fairly old computers including laptops. I'm mining it on two laptops and a pretty powerful desktop all running Linux, so you should have no issues. Check here:

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2329470.msg23686620#msg23686620

for more info and a link to the Github page to download the wallet/miner. You will need to compile both from source but there are instructions given.


don't need to compile any of them, they have the binaries already


other cpu only coins you can try are Magi and Verium
425  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]: cpuminer-opt v3.7.2, open source optimized multi-algo CPU miner on: November 16, 2017, 03:18:51 PM
I'm using precompiled windows binaries with a Ryzen 7 1700, trying to mine Verium.

My bat file starts with cpuminer-aes-avx2 -a scrypt:1048576 -o stratum+tcp://eu2.poolinat0r.com:7103

However, it only uses SSE 2 as far as I can see.



What am I doing wrong?

Where can I download precompiled binaries optimized for ryzen?

Thanks.



because the algo supports only sse2

Oh, I see. Is this the correct algo, then?

I'm asking because my old Xeon E5645 with v3.4.6. gives me almost double H/s per core than my Ryzen 1700, so I guess something is wrong.

Yes, thats the correct algo from what i remember.
And the speed might depend on instruction implementation in the processor, hyperthreading, core speed and cache size.
I don't know how much the specific algo benefit from each of those, but it might be logical

On some algos i get higher hash rate on core i7-6700@3.4GHz probably due to HT and larger cache, while some are faster on core i5-7600@4.5Ghz due to higher clock

Hey guys so Im trying to run the miner but with every cpuminer sse aes sse42 etc etc. It crashes after a few seconds says cpuminer is not responding and closes my .bat file like it froze does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

Also I'm trying to mine using an old acer desktop with windows 10 and AMD cempron 145 processor 2.80 ghz if that info helps?

Thank you

Legacy version 3.5.9.1 May provide better performance on some algos with older CPUs that
don't have AES NI. Most users should not use it.
Your cpu doesn't support AES, so try the legacy version

In mining you do research and then implement
In trading, you need to learn first, you need to learn constantly, and you need to have patience and you also have to learn to do nothing, just sit on your hands. And learn meanwhile Smiley

try some autoswitching miner like Megaminer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2059039) or Nemosminer (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1777336.0)
432  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: WinMiner v1.87a - auto switch windows app for multi miner optimization on: November 10, 2017, 05:54:42 PM
please add cpuminer-opt to cpu miners. it has lots of algos.

also please add m7m algo (XMG coin), which a cpu only coin and is pretty profitable

Should I be worried that my CPU, software, algo all supports AVX but it's not being used? Or does using AVX2 mean that AVX doesn't matter?

Code:
CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2650 v3 @ 2.30GHz
CPU features: SSE2 AES AVX AVX2
SW built on Nov  2 2017 with GCC 5.4.0
SW features: SSE2 AES AVX AVX2
Algo features: SSE2 AES AVX AVX2
Start mining with SSE2 AES AVX2
it uses the best available implementation, so yes, AVX doesn't matter when you have AVX2

on the right track, but right now you can can get ~1k on rx 480 with GG Wink

That's with BIOS mods and overclocking, right?
Actually, GGS's kernels are pretty much the same as GG's, so it's a matter of tweaking, I guess.
Ubermix 3.1 bios mod for Samsung memory. No overclocking though

One thing I have found is that neoscrypt fails to initialize in the version i have compiled (both avx2 and sha)

Benchmark is broken for neoscrypt but pool mining works. Benchmark is broken for a few algos and I don't really
care to try to fix them.

all the algos in the table i posted benchmark fine with your version, but in this case, it actually breaks completely, even with real pools


p.s.
can you enable the api to report the hashrate before the 1st accepted share?
438  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN]: cpuminer-opt v3.7.1, open source optimized multi-algo CPU miner on: November 01, 2017, 12:21:39 PM
some results from benchmarking:
some algos that show big improvement with openssl 1.1 sha compared to original avx2 build:
lbry (19%)
m7m (13%)
myr-gr (20%)
skein (15%)

some algos cross-compiled with avx2 with newer openssl/gcc on ubuntu 17.04
groestl (13%)
hodl (18%)
whirlpoolx (18%)

many others show 5+% improvement

table with all algos i have benchmarked available here (benched on Core i5 7600k@4500 with -t 2 to prevent other processes interfering):

funny thing... after cross compiling sha version, it actually gives me about +10% on m7m with a skylake cpu...

Please clarify. Windows? What did you compare with, precompiled binaries?

yes, on windows.

cross-compile with avx2 or skylake show roughly the same speed as your avx2 version, but with znver1, gives me a boost on some algos.
im still benchmarking them all so see the difference, but m7m gave me ~10% boost

and im running on a skylake core i5 7600k

If you're using a SHA build on a Skylake it will use the openssl implementation of sha256 but not the HW acceleration.
With a normal compile it will use the included SPH implementation of sha256. My previous testing showed the SPH version
to be faster that the SW openssl version. Perhaps newer versions of openssl have improved the SW implementation.
IIRC you're using openssl 1.1.

If you see differences in algos that don't use sha256 (SHA not listed in algo features) then there's something else happening.

Edit: I did a test and can confirm about 10% improvement in m7m when compiled for SHA (openssl 1.0.2) and run on a Haswell.  
I need to do more testing.

Edit2: slower with openssl 1.0.1, looks like openssl improved in 1.0.2, good catch.

I am using openssl 1.1, so this brings the sha algos speed up, but after running benchmarks comparing your avx2 to my sha version, I also see some speedups on other algos.
I will run a benchmark with my avx2 to see how that one compares and put all data in a table

One thing I have found is that neoscrypt fails to initialize in the version i have compiled (both avx2 and sha)
