But how to mine properly? No config, no intencity, no thread concurrency....   And you are lucky if GPU miner at least can start on your PC...

I guess the only way is by tweaking the .cl in the miner dir or using a modified miner. I use this one: http://pastebin.com/6ks9BQAp    280x -> 110 Mh/s

In my case the miner can't start using that .cl: "failed to start kernel: -52" Is there some manual how to tweak that file?

p.s I noticed that GPU utilization is higher (but still not full) when running 2 instances of the miner... Has someone try this?

new ver. for linux is pulled out but still no updated win-binary  
or just give us the way to make win-binary ourself!

I have noticed that running 2 instances, but stability is decreased. Not sure why you are getting an error. If I really knew what I was doing I'd have made a 10X more efficient miner like Wolf and Pallas have. Maybe we should pool together a fund to pay for their services (as in release their miners). Just a thought.

Kind threadfolk, please think for me:

/home/g2m/Desktop/Sia-GPU-Miner-linux64/gpu-miner
/home/g2m/Desktop/Sia-GPU-Miner-linux64/gpu-miner: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcurl.so.4: version `CURL_OPENSSL_4' not found (required by /home/g2m/Desktop/Sia-GPU-Miner-linux64/gpu-miner)

wat did I do?

I pay 50kS for thoughts, provided that you either pm me a sia address (single), or put it in your sig (double)

Totally not a giveaway.

Also, I'm sleeping for now so you probably won't get any response for about 16 hours.

Don't let that discourage you

You need the curl library. for ubunutu, it's called libcurl4-gnutls-dev: `apt-get install libcurl4-gnutls-dev`

I found a guide for mac here: http://www.vettyofficer.com/2013/06/how-to-install-curl-in-mac-os-x.html

It doesn't seem to be as simple. Are you having problems on mac?

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 14.04.  I installed libcurl4-gnutls-dev from apt and I also downloaded the latest curl and compiled it from source.  It did get rid of the error but the miner just threw a new error and was fed up with wrestling with it...sooooo...I committed a cardinal sin and installed windows 7 on a different drive to run the miner.  I had to install Windows C++ Runtimes to get it to work though.  They had to be the x86 ones.  The 64bit release did not work.

stupid windows...

You go Bitcointalk and mark a link to Microsoft as suspicious...awesome!

Finally seeing payouts coming in to the 2 other rigs wallets now. 3 down 1 to go, but that one's just a little 7790 @ 55 MH   not going to fill its wallet to quick lol

Actually its a dual 7790 set up, but as we all know, we can only hash with one card for now. if both hashed they are equal or in some instances faster and make better miners then a single 7950  

and are very low energy consumption and run cool......

Dude. GPU_DEVICE_ORDINAL environment variable + two instances of miner == mining on both cards.

how would that be presented wolf? ...

what would the parameters be in the script so that you can alot the miners to the different cards in the system ...

Yes, I had a four 7790 setup last year. The energy efficiency and low cost to make your ROI made them the most underestimated cards, given you have the extra space for them.

Great to know someone else has experienced these cool little cards... and they kick butt on X11 mining too 

[anatolikostis]

screen -S gpu0
GPU_DEVICE_ORDINAL=0 ./gpu-miner
[Ctrl+A, then press d]

screen -S gpu1
[and so on...]

works under Win64
but the gpu1 pushes less hashing power:
gpu0 - 115mh
gpu1 - 65mh

[andyatcrux]

GPU_DEVICE_ORDINAL=0 ./gpu-miner

Is there a native equivalent for Screen in Windows?? I am near illiterate, but have used it with help in Linux. I suppose I can use a thumb drive with Linux and the miner, just curious.

Use screen.

screen -S gpu0
GPU_DEVICE_ORDINAL=0 ./gpu-miner
[Ctrl+A, then press d]

screen -S gpu1
[and so on...]

tanx mate ...

will try that in a little while ...

not that i know of ...

though you probably only need to open a new console in windows to get the same effect ...

[anatolikostis]

I'm assuming for gpu1, you used GPU_DEVICE_ORDINAL=1, right?

yes, i did.
gpu1 load is 100% (acc. to msi ab) but hashrate is too low.
may be @stupid@ win 

[CoinMin3r]

guess so too

also checkout http://127.0.0.1:9980/miner/status
says how many blocks you mined

I checked this & I found the address here is different from my wallet address .

[iju76]

set GPU_DEVICE_ORDINAL=0
sia-gpu-miner.exe  127.0.0.1:9980/33f5795a313


set GPU_DEVICE_ORDINAL=1

At this time, I have produced 40 million coins.

40 Million coins mined just from yourself..... man I think this coin is heading in the wrong direction.

i am not able to get the mining working. i tried it with 2 different ubuntu systems, but every time the gpu-miner won't work it says:

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

I had it too. I wasn't able to run build release but successfully compiled from source

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

I had to install opencl-headers first

sudo apt-get install opencl-headers

and then just

make -f Makefile

[mishax1]

I have downclocked the gpu by 30% but that doesn't seem to affect the mining speed at all..   save your electricity!

always crashes the driver on the win 8.1 x64,cards 3x7870 and 1x290
