if someone is still getting hardware errors, ensure you are using a worksize of 256 (-w 256 on the commandline).
some optimizations depend on it so don't set it to a lower value.
also don't set it to a higher value simply because 256 is the maximum and that value will be used instead.

a 6 years old i5 runs almost as fast as a new fx.
surely there is room for improvement on amd cpus.

Getting above 5.7MH/s stable with my 280X on X11, using a kernel I heavily modified.
290X is getting 6.5MH/s at (almost) stock clocks, that is, 1000/1500.
7950 pulling around 4.87MH/s at 1120/1500.
And 270X getting 3.53MH/s at 1150/1500.
when I used to optimize x11 some months ago I used to get around 6Mh/s with the r9 290. then it became unprofitable... |

Should have kept it a Nvidia based coin, now that the China AMD farms have it it will tank.
But yeah, like how the chinese killed Bitcoin, Litecoin and Darkcoin with their miners and stuff. They are really out to get that 0.1BTC profit. The coin was so huge and then the chinese came and killed it. Even letting nvidia miners was too much, we should only have allowed a specific card with special drivers to mine it and also have every single miner fill in an application before they are allowed that driver. That's how you really make it successful! Close access to everyone expect a chosen few. "a choosen few" and who chooses? |

Can someone please post a 32 bit Hawai or Tahiti binary?
The filename should end in "256l4.bin".

Excelent work!
Got about 15 MH/s for my Gigabyte 270X compared to 13 MH/s previously.
Is it possible to release other optimized kernels? Qubitcoin for example?
Yes some improvements can be made but I have no time to dedicate to it :-) |

I see.
Tried with another router and looks the same.
Sad I can't contribute with a dynamic IP... 99.99% of people have such IPs.
Does restarting the wallet after this situation helps? If so, we might try to force periodic UPNP re-negotiation in the wallet to recover from such situations. yes it usually does, that's what I was thinking. |

Hi, sorry but I don't see where I can download the last sph-sgminer???<
Thanks
Séb
You can use the "classic" version as well as the new version 5 (and probably other similar miners). |

Maybe it would be a wise decision to use a power saver kernel in summer, to enhance your graphics card lifetime and a more power version in winter to keep your feet warm  Or just lower the core clock ;-) |

I was looking at the output of getpeerinfo in the last few days and I noticed a strange behavior: initially there are some inbound connections, then after some hours there are no more until I restart the wallet.
Is it normal? Am I still contributing to the network without inbound connections?
i have a 24/7 online wallet with 47 inbound connections at the moment cant reproduce the behavior u describe what conf u use? noirc=1 listen=1 addnode=193.68.21.19 addnode=54.191.208.14 addnode=54.255.133.30 bantime=600 Did you try disconneting it for a moment? I wonder if it's because UPNP nat is lost when there is a disconnect and it isn't resent to the router afterwords. I believe this is bug in your router's UPNP implementation, or is somehow related to IP address renewal. The wallet always accepts connections, but in your setup the router has to refresh it's NAT tables, which it probably does not do. Does restarting the wallet after this situation helps? If so, we might try to force periodic UPNP re-negotiation in the wallet to recover from such situations. In general, I would advise against listen=1 for nodes that use dynamic IP addresses (unless it's home network behind the same external address). This is because other nodes maintain a list of IP addresses of nodes that were connected and broadcast that list to other nodes etc. Each node then tries to connect to each and every address in this list (one after another) which would waste resources and slow down the network convergence if there are many 'dead' nodes. I see. Tried with another router and looks the same. Sad I can't contribute with a dynamic IP... 99.99% of people have such IPs. |

Pallas, you are great!
Here are my numbers:
290x @ 1125 Mhz ~ 26,4 Mh/s
290x @ 1040 Mhz ~ 24,4 Mh/s
I am going to send you 20% of the next ten blocks I will find,
just because I want to donate to an honest and sharing person.
To use the bin file correctly, you have to remove all bin files in the main folder, download pallas bin file, put it into the main folder,
start your miner, copy the filename of your automatically created bin file after you started the miner. Then you stop the miner and rename pallas bin-file with the copied filename.
thanks very much! :-) |

Hi guys!
I am not sure if you understand it yet, but your profits are not going to increase. Unfortunately. :-(
Perhaps in the upcoming 5-10 days, but then it'll all be as before. And you'll be paying more for electricity.
That is one of the reasons I did not open source my miner.
Cause not only you are going to move to the faster kernel. Everybody will move to the new kernel.
So not just your hashrate will increase, everybody's hashrate will increase as well.
And so, the total coins distribution between miners will not change, but you're going to pay more to electricity companies.
The new kernel eats a lot more electricity and makes more heat.
Which is bad for the algo we're mining.
Also it makes CPU mining a lot less profitable compared with GPU mining. Also bad.
The root of all evil,
srcxxx
hmmm not exactly. the biggest miners are already using optimized miners made by themselves; this kernel puts the common people on a higher level so they can compete. smaller miners will make more coins and biggest ones less. |

just by applying the groestl improvements (some of them have been made public months ago) you get a boost ;-)
Nice, I'll do that. I'm working my way down from the top of X15. From what I have seen, some improvements can be made, but don't expect miracles like in some single algo coins. Some? I've gotten over 20% out of it - tested on 7850, 7950, 270X, 280X, 290, and 290X. I'm not even that far in, and that was mostly low-hanging fruit. well on groestl I've been 2.5x I meant I got over 20% on X15 as a whole - not a single algorithm. Apples and moon rocks. That's what I was saying :-) |

yes dynamic ip.
can ya find out if it only happens when ur ip changed? not easy to spot but I'll try |

The version I have proposed, goes perfect with 13.2. go to control panel, uninstall 14 and then select install driver 13.2
7950=13Mhs I 21
7970=14-15mhs I21
But these optimized versions hotter than the GPU and more electricity...
fine, thanks, but my kernel is faster... |

Have anybody tried with 270X cards - what hashrate should I expect?
hello i try saphire toxic but not good all hw error and i try lower gpu mhz but not work 1150 mhz still 1150 o use grs-sgminer 1.4 i use 14.6 amd driver rc. bye since I've never tested it on 270x there could be issues, but please try: - using the bin file from the OP - lowering the intensity - lowering core speed (are you sure you put the ram clock to the lowest possible value?) since it uses more power, it could be a cooling issue too. |
