puting 60mh x13 on pool but pool only shows half of it like 30 mh
what is going on ...x13 mod steals hash???

i think x13 need more optimization in kernel part

Girino, do you have a windows version with temps and no hidden pool, so we can use failovers posted yet?
I know others like Lasybear have done that, but I would rather use your version if it is open source, verified
no hidden pools or malware, and you could post an address for donations.

I've just checked the mail archive at metzdowd.com (http://www.metzdowd.com/pipermail/cryptography/).
The timestamps there are the same as the ones shown in the mit.edu archive. Looks like the mail-archive.com timestamps are bogus.

Just forget it. These timestamps don't prove anything, as they are not the times from original mails.
Of course this does not prove the opposite either, but I don't think that the search for truth works by conjuring up arbitrary assertions and then asking for negative proof.

You probably have heard about the Folding At Home program from Stanford University once. It is a program where you can let computer calculate protein folding to research new medicine for diseases.

What does this have to do with Bit/Altcoin?
There is a new coin that combines the bitcoin protocol with the FAH program to reward people for their computing power they give to the program. This new program turns those wasted hashes and power consumption into something that benefits us all!

Great, and why do I care?
Profit! The FAH 'algorithm' has been sitting on the top of the profitability charts for more then a week. As an added bonus, the power usage and heat generation are less than 50% of scrypt! Even Nvidia users are welcome with an efficiency of over 50% of AMD, and a continues development to even that playground.

How does it work?
You install the folding software, choose a nickname and register at the pool. For more detailed information check the Curecoin topic.

Show me the proof!
You can find the calculator at CoinTweak.com or check the profitability overview to compare it to other coins.
Some general results:
R9 280x = 120-140k PPD
R9 290x = 150-170k PPD
GTX 670 = 65-75k PPD

Highest profitability, lowest power consumption and making the world a healthier place possibly saving your wife or kids in the future. Why wouldn't you start Folding for Curecoin?

OR... the two parties discussed this privately before agreeing to post the question and answer publicly. If James was anything but certain about the validity of his concern, discussing it privately removes the possibility of publicly looking like an idiot.

OR... the timestamps are updated when an edit is made.

can you add an XC address I used your mod on my small farm of 18 290r9 non x and my god
hashrates jumped from around 2.3-2.5 at intensity 20 and stock gpu settings to 3.35- 3.7 !

my boxes are now pushing in around 75mhz vs the 50 I used to average !

and the temps have not gone up barely at all you guys do great work I will send around 10xc once you get an address or
if not I can sell some for dark.

here is my conf

You forgot a couple .dll files, but this version seems to work great for me.  Using same config I used with the 2% fee miner the hash rate is maybe 0.020mh/s less (not a big deal).

No harm done, there are lots of "personalities" out there, and I wasn't happy when he dropped support for scrypt myself. With that said, his software put mining on the map for many many people and there have been countless variants based on his work. For that he gets a bunch of respect from me --despite his dropping support for scrypt.

If you can tweak the above issues (seeing the active pool and incrementing the counters properly), I'll happily send a donation.

Is there any fee or charge attached to this?

I just got up and running on Lubuntu 14.04 using the AMD 14.4 drivers today. Running a single powercolor reference R9 290x and getting 3.5Mh/s at I 19 --no other options set.

This sgminer software needs work...

The Accepted, Rejected and Hardware counters at the top of the screen never increment (A: R: HW:).
The pool connection never indicates what the miner is actually connected to ie (Connected to Pool 0)

With all the fuss over stolen hashrate, using this algorithm, this piece of software needs some work.

I'd love to see a ckolivas version of an X11 miner.

Seems that this version is not optimised for HD58** and HD59** series.
I have 4 gpu rig that has 5300Mh/s with regular miner
but with this version instead to get more Mh/s i got just half of that, about 2000 Mh/s.
Changed everything in config file, tried with just a bat file, but no success.
Anyone has a clue ?

drivers v13.2
haven't tried with 14.4 yet, it will make a difference ?

If like me you rent your rig on Nicehash, you might want to try my fork of the Nicehash sph-sgminer which supports the both the x11mod kernel and the proper Nicehash idle pool behaviour. It basically just pulls in the the lasybear code into bitbandi's repository.

This will only be useful for a couple of days because all of this will soon be incorporated in the main sgminer codebase.

AMD have now released the official version.

Still can't get it to mine X11 though. It gives readings of 4mh + for my 280x's but only HW errors

Anyone know why?

it's possible to optimize the jackpoint algo for amd? there is too much difference between nvidia and amd there(2MH/ vs 4MH/s)

Advanced USB options:

The --usb option can restrict how many USB devices are found:

  --usb 1:2,1:3,1:4,1:*
or
  --usb BAS:1,BFL:1,MMQ:0,ICA:0,KLN:0
or
  --usb :10

You can only use one of the above 3

The first version
  --usb 1:2,1:3,1:4,1:*
allows you to select which devices to mine on with a list of USB
 bus_number:device_address
All other USB devices will be ignored
Hotplug will also only look at the devices matching the list specified and
find nothing new if they are all in use
You can specify just the USB bus_number to find all devices like 1:*
which means any devices on USB bus_number 1
This is useful if you unplug a device then plug it back in the same port,
it usually reappears with the same bus_number but a different device_address

You can see the list of all USB devices on linux with 'sudo lsusb' under unix
Cgminer will list the recognised USB devices with the '-n' option or the
'--usb-dump 0' option
The '--usb-dump N' option with a value of N greater than 0 will dump a lot
of details about each recognised USB device
If you wish to see all USB devices, include the --usb-list-all option

I'm more interested in an explanation  why it's so much faster!
Your crack and Lasybear's work are "sufficient" enough to copy what he has done, but CL-code itself is 100% identical and doesn't explain the speed boost.....  Only thing different is the way CL-functions are called, and the use of an additional memory-block (plus pointers instead of arrays).
Still like to learn what Girino's breakthrough was and his line of thought archiving this (this knowledge, our community can use for further improvements).

Great!  Getting 3.1 MHash/s each with

4* Sapphire Radeon 7970
on GA-990FXA-UD5

OS:     Win 7
driver: Catalyst 14.4

settings:
--kernel x11mod -w 256 -I 15 -g 2 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1080 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192

voltage: 1.13

pulls 760W at the wall.

Only problem: I had to upgrade to Catalyst 14.4, since it did not work with the modified 13.1 I used to run 5 GPUs under Win7.
So only 4 GPUs are detected now. Fifth one shows up with 'error 43' in system manager.


Is there any way to run 5 GPUs with this x11 miner on WIN7? Suggested driver Version?  Thanks a ton!
