Why does this garbage GPU miner not work on my machine ?

I get error -11

How about posting your log and telling me what hardware you got instead of just trash talking myself and everybody else who has been slaving to get GPU miners out there.

Also, isn't heat (from a physics perspective) considered a by product, or mark of inefficiency? An incandescent lightbuld uses part of the energy input to make heat, which is inefficient. An LED light makes much less heat, and is much more efficient (as a measure of energy input vs light output).

Indeed, but all of the electricity used by a computer is turned into heat, there is no other type of energy output (if you ignore light from the screen and sound from the speakers).

As a Physics major I have to jump in here - not all of the energy used is turned into heat, in fact most isn't turned into heat at all. Heat is basically all of the wasted energy needed to run the computer. The rest of the wattage that isn't coming off as heat, the majority of the energy, is being used to do work. Basically flipping a bunch of transistors (switches) many times per second, spin hard drives and fans, etc. Heat is a waste byproduct of doing work in imperfect electrical circuits (ones with resistance, ie not a superconductor) - nothing more!

To the first question, yes it could be that it's a sign of inefficiency - but it could also be a sign that the mining software is not using the full potential of the cards. Wink

Sorry this is getting off topic, but I must disagree with that statement.  Exactly 100% of the electrical energy used by a computer is turned into heat.  All of it.  You can count the spinning hard drive as kinetic energy but this too is converted to heat too when it is powered off and spins down.  The useful work a computer performs is not a form of energy.  If the heat output does not equal the electrical energy input then your computer has broken the law of conservation of energy.

I second this notion, if you were to run a computer in a vacuum (or outer space) it would heat up continuously until it burned out. The energy is expelled 100% as heat on the other end and here on earth the heat is dissipated through oxygen (chip --- heat sink --- air (or water)). The lower temps were seeing mining dark is simply because the miner hasn't been optimized to use 100% capacity. Nothing more, nothing less.

edit nevermind, i'll play, i'll send some btc later

I would like to know exactly when the IPO ends. i.e. 3/3 @ 12:00 GMT etc

Thank you,


As i said its just for fun i could make it look legit with better graphics. Its a rough copy

I think it's cool. Don't listen to the flamers with god complexes. As if a graphic made by a community member is going to damage the coin.. come on..

sry guys I'm tired tonight.. once again the new SG miner for windows.. compiled from phm's source

https://mega.co.nz/#!j15w3CBC!oqvpvbw0DenM0KqGxG4iJ-w7bxCUrD89tiqH7frxVGM

disregard links in the quotes.. I accidentally double zipped it making the file size too large.. Enjoy

Is this different than the one on the first post? I am getting about 8% more hashrate with the one on the first post compared to PHM's first release.

No it's the same one.. first time i left it with my worker and didn't want people to think i was trying to make people mine for me.. then zipped 2 copies of it into 1 rar.. now i got it right... lol

New miner compiled for windows, all credit goes to PHM. Confirmed 20+% Boost on my 5970. Thank you very much



Give it some time to start, just like the last version. It may take a minute to start.

Hmm link doesn't work for me...

I reuploaded here, as much as I would love more dark, I don't want people to get mad when they accidentally connect to my worker haha

thx for this.

just noting that I received an error on my windows 8 system;

[20:10:30] Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram)
[20:10:30] :79:10: fatal error: 'blake.cl' file not found
#include "blake.cl"   


in the folder your running sg miner from do you have a subfolder "kernel" with blake.cl (and all the rest of the CL in it?) Download the windows version i just posted and see if it helps

Just made it.. will upload in a moment

I'm only interested in $$$$.  That's it.  Forget community.  Forget fun.  Forget fun slogans.  I like cold, hard cash.

Actually, that might be a perfect slogan for almost every coin released in the past 6 months.

+1.. but thats the way it is.. there are those who want to innovate.. and those who want to just profit from it. Some people just don't care about money, others are completely devoured by it for life.. Pretty sad to me.

Don't get me wrong.  I perhaps overstated my case a bit.  I would never steal or try to profit from someone's misery.  But to me making money is fun.  I spend money at Kickstarter and Kiva.  But I don't want for someone to come along with big promises who turns out to be a snake oil salesman.  Like I said, I have a lot of Dogecoin, but I don't understand it's present path.  At all.

I hear that. I guess the point I was getting at is it doesn't matter if something is made with the noblest intent, snakes will somehow get involved. And yeah, I have no idea what to expect with this coin going forward.

Yes this is absolutely insane.

I may give it a go, thinking about it.

I am psychotic though, be warned in advance fellow cryptofolks.

Cryptographic Anomaly. You'll be a billionaire by your next birthday, guaranteed.

hm $50 to billions makes it sound like you're telling me to stay as far away from this coin as humanly possible.

But alas, is there a reason this coin is so special?

edit: My new benjamin wallet left a nice roll of hundreds in my start menu. Beat that. lol
299  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: Why <insert coin name here> is bad on: February 18, 2014, 06:47:22 PM
TL;DR

Cliffs for the interested:

-Op sold his <insert coin name here> for 1 satoshi
-<insert coin name here> is now 200-300 satoshi
-OP determines any valuable coin he isn't holding is a sh1tcoin.

Come to the thread for my new coin, <insert coin name here>. It's a scrypt clone with no new features at all whatsoever. But people mine it anyway because its fun to mine coins and trade them.

[ People enjoying crypto coins ] <------> [ Sad OP ]

How is it superior?
On the technology front, Darksend is based upon CoinJoin which you can read about here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=279249.0

On the marketing front, we're not named Fedora Coin and don't have to go to other people's threads to try and get people to buy our dying coin.
