I submitted Sia to product hunt, if it gets enough visibility, it could be great publicity

[Rabinovitch]

BTW, what driver version is recommended for AMD and for NVidia GPUs?

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

yes because it is limited by the ram speed.
you may even get more hashes by increasing memclock.
but the algo is very simple and should run on registers only.
that's how you get 280x do this:

Mining at 756.267 MH/s  X blocks mined

Of course at this speed it doesn't "save electricity" ;-)

Nice speeds
Wish I had my rigs from 2014..    had a few 7990, 7970, 280X..    
Only running a 280X from my parents house..

Upvoting will help sia be seen by a large group of people

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

Yep.Mine screen also goes black every 5 minutes or sometime even less. Any solutions?

Did you make the block fetch async? If not, is that including the block fetch time, as the stock miner does?

I have not yet, and I kept the block fetch time included in the hashrate counter meter so that it better relates to the stock one.

I rebased my work on the new commits and left that part unchanged.
Some of the changes I did to the C code are similar to what they modified so it's not worth keeping them.

EDIT: when I removed block fetching from the hashrate calculation to the old tree, the hashrate changed by a couple percent only

and you can also try lowering your gpu/mem clocks

[Moebius327]

At this time, I have produced 40 million coins.

SCAMER DO NOT TRADE WITH clipman77

He agreed to do a trade with me and then declined using escrow, I also suggested to pay the escrow fee but he insisted that I send first to him. (4 BTC) he then canceled the trade.

100% SCAM do not trade with him!

Any chance you can let me know how you did this i have 2 280x hashing 100mh

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

thanks that was helpful, one on system i was succesful, on the other system i wasn't (older ubuntu version = 13) and i got this message

http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ saucy/universe opencl-headers all 1.2-2013.06.28-2  404  Not Found

any ideas how to fix it?

on my win system i only get 30 MH with a 280x , what is the problem here?

and one more question: have i only to start siad or additionally siac and after that the gpu-miner, because i don't know where the coins are going if i am succesful to mine some

and#2 after a while under win7 the miner crashes with

curl did not reveive enough bytes

and#3 or (under win7) it just stops after some seconds without a error (no gpu-usage)

and#4 with this https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1060294.msg11559202#msg11559202 *.cl file i get the message

failed to start kernel: -52

ok nothing works right here for me nor under win nor under linux

EDIT: when I removed block fetching from the hashrate calculation to the old tree, the hashrate changed by a couple percent only

280X goes above 950MH/s; still non-async.

How ? Is there a new miner or something ?

My 280x only gets to 93mh/s with the buggy miner.

my 280x only gets max 50-60 (usually more like 30) but it freezes after some seconds or i get this message "curl did not reveive enough bytes " after some time (system win7)

Sia-GPU-Miner Often collapse !!!!

Do you have any good solution?

Thank you

Yeah, we've got parts of it fixed in the dev branch. We're fixing a few other parts, and trying to push up the hashrate a bit so we're not sooooo far behind the proprietary miners. Expect a new release for linux+windows in the next 18 hours or so.

[q327K091]

does anyone know how to check address/balance from SIA command line (siad) thanks!

"Once a block is mined, Sia waits for 144 confirmation blocks before the reward is added to your wallet, which takes about 24 hours."

patience , patience

So there are at least 2 people claim they are mining at x10 times faster than the rest of us...   Wanna sell us your config ?

try to calculate your chance to find a block - 96mh/s vs Xgh/s
i think only pool-miner is a good idea to equalize all of us.

I'm not joking, an escrow can confirm the speeds and hold funds for up to lets say 20 people paying 0.25BTC for example to the sum of 5BTC and then releasing the code to those 20 people.

*tho I do not encourage that.

[anatolikostis]

To devs: it`s no problem to make a single wallet for several gpu-rigs - just copying 2 folders from one rig to another.
But is it correct to launch one wallet with the same address from several rigs to mine simultaneously?
