1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Vulkanxmrminer Anyone Using It? on: March 12, 2019, 06:28:26 AM
I did a google site search as well as a forum-wide board search for anything to do with this VulkanXMRMiner (https://github.com/enerc/VulkanXMRMiner/releases) that I have recently become aware of.

I understand that it uses the Vulkan API (SPIR-V ?) instead of opencl like most AMD and other miners. Being a big AMD supporter I was instantly interested and was able to pretty easily get it set up to where it got connected to the site I currently mine on (ca.minexmr.com:7777 if it matters) and there were no errors thrown but after the connection was made the only text posted to the console was

"Waiting for site to send blob....."

at least it did last night, now when I try to use it it simply connects to the site and then immediately exits the program.

I even tried to "start over" and deleted all configs, did a fresh extract and set up just like I did last night when it gave me the "waiting for blob" messages but no luck.

So I guess the question is two fold, is this being talked about on here at all? If so can someone point to the correct spot to talk to others about it and if it isn't being talked about, why?

 Is there some problem (like severely decreased hashrates?) that make people not want to use it at this point, or is it too new?

Any info you guys have and are willing to share would be appreciated.

As a side note, I might be able to fix the crashing issue if I restarted the machine but I have had a video encode going for about 12 hours now and I am not willing to waste all that time just to test a theory so I thought that I would at least get the discussion going if possible.

Thanks in advance guys!

Happy Mining!

Hey,

This is really for SRBminer 1.7.9 (as it was the most recent version when I downloaded it a couple days ago), however I have 2 gpus that I would like to set different intensities on them and I could do this easily in 1.6.8, for some reason I cannot get 1.7.9 to work by just setting up a proper .bat file -cgpuid 0,1 -cpool -cwallet -cgpuintensity etc which is frustrating but what I really would like to know is what is the proper way to integrate the

"gpu_conf" : option into the config file, can someone tell me what is wrong with this code?

Code:
{
"cryptonight_type" : "normalv4",
"intensity" : 0,
"double_threads" : true,
"gpu_conf" :
[
{
  "id" : 0,
  "intensity" : 71,
  "worksize" : 16,
  "threads" : 2
},
{
  "id" : 1,
  "intensity" : 80,
  "worksize" : 16,
  "threads" : 2
}
]
"shutdown_temperature" : 100,
"off_temperature" : 85
}

this is in my Config/config-monero.txt file, it works just fine if I take out the "gpu_conf" parameter, I have tried to remove the "intensity" parameter to see if that helps, as well as the "double_threads" parameter and the program just crashes, the only output in the log file is:

Code:
[2019-03-09 22:05:21] Miner version: 1.7.9
[2019-03-09 22:05:21] Windows version: 10.0 build 17763
[2019-03-09 22:05:21] Video driver version: 24.20.11021.1000
[2019-03-09 22:05:21] Startup monitor attached

and thats it, no errors or anything, its like the config file just isn't valid yet this is the way that the official thread (this thread) as well as other people have their Config/config-*.txt files and they seem to work so can someone help me figure out what is going on here?

thank you in advance.


(Also note that 1.7.9 does work without crashing and at decent hash rates with the single "intensity" parameter set and no "gpu_conf" but when I can't figure stuff like this out it really bothers me lol.
