When the GPU miner will support multi-GPU sistems? My mining ring got 4 GPU, and working only one of them! Its very bad!

Right now the GPU miner only supports 1 GPU. We don't currently have the expertise to improve that. I think we can figure it out in the next 2-3 weeks though.

You can see the current target by using siac, and running 'siac status'. The current target is 0,0,0,0,2, which corresponds to ~440GH per block.

There has to be some hashmonster mining now, it's very rare I find blocks with my 169 MH/s anymore...

I have 93MH/s and not getting blocks anymore granted that's if the GPU miner stays open and working long enough before either freezing or closing, I lost out on heaps of blocks just after launch when I went to sleep due to the bugs in the GPU miner.

I guess I'm happy with what I got so far solo mining but also a bit disappointed with the stability at the same time.

for the wallet  conf needed ? what port?

scammy coin. Release coin with specialized miner and dont explain how to use the (buggy) miner and (buggy) coin

GPU miner is open source - feel free to optimize it the way you like

https://github.com/NebulousLabs/Sia-GPU-Miner

Sia is new code and yet it released an open source GPU miner on launch - thats already rare for other coins (other than clones)

Also distribution wise its good to support 1 GPU only, so that farm owners dont have too much ahead of people using their common home computer

So in the end its even questionable to release a GPU miner supporting more GPUs

Can someone please help me, I am down to my last few hairs on my head.  I am really excited about this tech but I seem to be hitting roadblocks around every corner.  I have the daemon running on a windows machine cpu mining.  Working great so far.  However, my GPU machine is Linux and I am about to go postal.  Siad and Siac work fine but this cursed GPU miner just will not work.  I am running Ubuntu 14.04, curl 7.35, openssl, and a R9 x280 .  When I run the GPU miner I get...

Code:

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_4' not found (required by ./gpu-miner)

Siad is running and I have the gpu-miner and gpu-miner.cl in the same folder as the daemon.  So far google is not being my friend with this error either.  I also downloaded curl 7.42.1 and compiled from source with no luck.

On ubuntu you need the libcurl4-gnutls-dev package.

Hope that helps.

There's a chance that Sia's mining algorithm could be added to sgminer or cgminer. I'm not fully sure who to talk to, but there's a thread here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.new#new and here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632503.3920

Getting Sia running on one of those miners would likely solve many of the bugs, and allow people to use the features they are familiar with. I am not sure what all goes into that.

Still getting this:

Code:

D:\Distrib\Siacoin\sia-gpu-miner-win64>sia_gpu-miner
failed to get Device IDs: -1

I also can't run it on Windows 10 x64 Insider Preview. "MSVCR120.dll is missing". I have installed Visual C++, MSVCR120.dll is present in system32. When I put it directly to miner's folder it closes with error 0xc000007b.

But I was able to start mining on my home Win7 x64 PC (with one R9 290 by Gigabyte).   I'm with you at 64 Mh/s.

BTW, it seems that 2 Siacoin wallets in one LAN can't work normally - second can't sync while first is running...

I think need add this coin to any exchange. c-cex.com for exlample

[WilderX]

Come on there has to be a pool that is hoarding all the blocks. Give up the infos and share pay it forward it's good for the soul!

With the newly provided GPU miner link this is the exact issue I have also now. Windows 8 with Visual C++ installed.

Everyone can submit the request to those exchanges to ask them to add sicoin. The more people submit the better chance to get added. Let all of us do it. The below is the contact info for polo and bter and these two are likely add sicoin.

Seems to me like you might now have a gpu, either that or your gpu does not support OpenCL.

Hey all! Great work so far on Sia! I'm working on a PoC using this platform and though I went through the thread I didn't see this question asked. Is there a way to verify that the miners running are pointed to the correct wallet address? The address in the siac status display does not match what displays in the Siacoin client.

PoC?

If you are mining, then the miner is pointed to the right address. Sia discourages address reuse, so your wallet actually generates a new, different address each time you ask for an address. All of them are stored by the wallet, so even if you can't see an address anymore you will receive coins sent to that address.

Proof of Concept. And thank you for the answer!

Me and my crappy internet.

Went to bed with 4 mining rigs hashing and finding blocks. 350 MH. Sometime in the night around 3am I think the load crashed my internet. (all on wireless) Woke up and had to reboot. But appears up to that time I mined around 300 blocks. Just got them all back up and running. Only the later 3 rigs don't show the blocks as confirmed yet, possibly because internet went down?

My main rig I tested on shows 1,780.3 KS But had ran that rig much longer while testing. I lost 7 hours of mining SIA  lol

One rig has found 6 blocks in the last 15 minutes, so all seems to back in order.

I am a little concerned as 2 miners, in the wallets do not show any peers? yet wallet says up to date? ok will see if those wallet get confirmed coins.

Still using original mining software..
