Genesis Mining Presents: SGMiner-GM - now with Zawawa's GG! [Updated 17/01/2017]

[Vetal_inside]

It is possible to mine ethereum fork with this miner (NOT ethereum classic, something like music, expance etc)? I tried, but miner not start. Also I read --help output, but dont find there noone relates to ethereum forks.

Btw, 280x gives me 13mh on ethereum(on cm, I think, there will be around 11mh), so this is good OS software...sadly that no much popular.

Hello to everyone, one question if someone have solution ...

i am runing sgminer on xubuntu 16.04.2 (4.4 kernel) with 16.40 amdgpu-pro drivers, everything running smooth, stable, hashrates good. but i would reeeealy like to see card temps in software.

any idea ? solution ? magic ? i am out of ideas ...

Cheers  

SGMiner-GM should show them just fine - but not with 4.4.

Yes i have figure all out, all fixed now, running it on 4.11 kernel, also fan controls works fine etc ... i will try to setup everything on server now to build all as tiny as possible, u have plans to add pascal kernel ?

Cheers,

Yes - ethash is ethash.

I am mining music, works just fine, same setup as for ether ...

Only drawback I see that this piece of Hardware is the delivery time. It looks like if you go on there and Order you're waiting at least six weeks. Seems like a nice piece of Hardware seems like it's going to get to you just a little bit too late.

Looks stupidly, but....can you share your config?
Seems, I'm doith whats something wrong - eth works "from box", but when I change pool to music, miner writes that it cann't find server that get work...

Does anybody have a link to an example of a  /home/ethos/local.conf mining skein? Trying to mine dgb-skein.theblocksfactory.com using sgminer-gm but I can't figure it out.

Noob question

is this miner only for amd/ati cards?

Noob question

HONESTLY, I HAVE NOT TRIED--

But I have been looking at your post for two weeks, and I'll answer.  It may work on nVidia, some SGminer variations do.  It will not damage your cards to try.

Some SGminer coders very carefully program in code compatible with both AMD and nVidia cards.  Tpruvot has an SGminer that works with both varieties.       --scryptr

@Wolf0 and everyone else

Great work guys, I really thought the sgminer project was dead and I do remember Wolf saying it should be re-written from group-up (this was like 2 years ago).
We really need an open source miner like sgminer which can be easily adapted and modified with various kernels and features.

I tried the version you posted here and I got about 200 H/s from my 280X vs 295 HS/s with Claymore (Zcash) . Shame , I would have loved to use sgminer again, especially since I poked my nose in its original git as well.

I keep getting this error when trying to mine ETC:

[13:36:47] Initialising kernel ethash.cl with nfactor 10, n 1024
[13:36:54] Error -4: Setting args for the DAG kernel and/or executing it.
[13:36:54] Error: clSetKernelArg of all params failed.
[13:36:54] GPU 0 failure, disabling!

I searched around but can't seem to find any info on a fix.

I am using Win7x64Pro w/ driver 17.4.4. Card is a 580 8GB.

I have tried removing the standard envars:

(
GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
)

It complained about GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS and GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT not being set and gave the same error (-4)...so I re-set those two but still no change.
I tried differing/lowering worksize (from 192) and xintensity (from 1024)...no change.
I also tried setting gpu-platform 0 (from -1) and changing gpu-map 1:0 and device # (I also have a 2GB 270 in the system as primary card) but still same issue.

Interestingly, when I start it on the other device (the 270), the program starts fine, and I actually get a few hundred khash, even though that card doesn't have enough memory for the DAG. I don't understand how that's even possible.

Any ideas on cause/solution for this error?

btw the miner works fine for mining zcash albeit with a low sol rate.

I suppose you should take a stratum proxy to deal with dwarf implementation of stratum protocol.

Hey guys,

So i was using this miner to mine XMR and had it running on rI 950 and -g 2  and was getting a stable 910 h/s per RX 580,  but then i did something and the miner crashed and the windows 10 said, "preventing sgminer from accessing your hardware"

Since that moment, the exact same settings yield a 400 h/s rate and doesn't work properly... Anyone have a clue what happened??  

I still get around 800h/s using 512 intensity but for some reason raising the intensity now just DROPS the hashrate instead of raising it...

would be super grateful for any responses

higher intensity also works for raising hashrate with -g 1 now but no longer with -g 2 and with -g 1 the hashrate is still kinda lowish at 800h/s with 1000 intensity

edit: this has been driving me nuts for 3 days now and i cannot for the life of me figure out what went wrong all of a sudden, at one point i also got some sort of error which said lack of memory or something along those lines

edit #2:  now my eth hashrate is lower as well all of a sudden

I have 5 cards on my system.  R9 270, rx 570, (2) rx 470, rx 480.  No matter what I do, one card will always fail except the r9 270.  It starts every single time.  I get Gpu X failed, disabled.  Any tips?  The only time I don't get a failure is if I have just the r9 270 and one other card connected.  I'm running windows 10.  I have used drivers 16.9.2, the block chain drivers, and the latest amd drivers.

Thanks,

6990 XMR Config  driver 

[scryptr]

CRYPTONIGHT IS CURRENTLY A TOP EARNER--

I have modified my configuration for mining CryptoNight with SGminer-GM.  It is posted on page 27, post #527.  Here is the link:

       https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1612329.msg18001191#msg18001191

I mine with a variety of different AMD and nVidia cards.  With SGminer-GM for AMD and CCminer v2.2.1 (tpruvot) for nVidia, I mine CryptoNight at about 1/2 the wattage required to mine Equihash algo, and less than 1/2 the wattage required for Claymore's Dual Miner.       --scryptr

6990 XMR Config  driver 

AN AMD 6990 IS HARD TO FIND--

I certainly do not own one.  I did post a good start configuration, and would suggest the latest drivers that support the venerable 6990.  With 1536 shaders X 2 (it is a dual 6970 card), it should still mine like a beast.  Good Luck!       --scryptr

It could be fast. But the power consumption could be high.

I'm not sure what's up, but looks awesome.
Just upgraded my gg hashing XMR with the latest (5.5.5) and I'm seeing about 3% rates increase also 0 rejects...

NO_SUBMIT_STALE WORKS FOR ME--

I had a few rejects daily and noticed that they were mostly stale shares.  After setting "no_submit_stale": true", I had virtually no rejects, and no hardware errors.  Apparently, hardware errors were an issue early on in SGminer-GM development, but with my posted config, the rigs mine CryptoNight for days with low watts and no rejects or errors.

well. thanks a lot for this! was actually going to edit my post and report lots of rejects:)
will test with no stale submissions now

EDIT: you seem to be right, my rejects just went away completely.  also it's likely that these settings could be better for polaris:            
            "rawintensity": "504", "worksize": "4", "gpu-threads": "2" (or "rawintensity": "512")
