[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

[MarkEMarkEMark]

There was a handy step by step guide (for ref: https://gist.github.com/xorrbit/8848780) that I gave some DOGE to the author where it really easily said how to compile the max cpuminer using cygwin. It worked for me, and I had a miner in time for launch (fat lot of good that did me in the end...)

Is anyone able to point out (or make) a simple guide for cgminer (ideally using cygwin - yes, I've no idea what I'm talking about, sorry), where I can just follow the steps and have a compiled latest version at the end?

Again AMD wins in this crypto-race. Damn I feel so bad for nVidia.

AMD does have a bit more raw power. But when it comes to memory limited coins like scrypt / scrypt-jane the difference is much smaller.

Also I ran into some problems with 63 available registers on the Compute 3.0 architecture being too little to hold all the Keccak state.
So there is some spillage into the GPU memory, which slows us down a bit.

lets get that "T" working ey? computer 3.5

The problem with cygwin is that you would need to compile yourself most of the libraries...

This is what I do not understand. The T kernel uses 80 registers, has no local memory spillage and runs slower. Huh?

nVidia engineers to the rescue!

Here is the miner mod i made i mentioned earlier..

i want to work on porting a lot more of my code into chubners1 newer build before i think about making a new forum topic.
So in the mean time if anyone wants it here ya go.. and un-check use downloader on the file hosting page guys ..should be obvious but sadly it's not

Windows x64 build only with needed dll's
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/b89037fc

Source code only and Visual Studio project files
http://www.datafilehost.com/d/44b4bd48

So far all i did was take a few minutes to copy the Color code from my other cudaminer mod project and integrated the maxcoin pool fix.
Lots more of my code changes could be ported over also, but i have a lot of stuff to do and the color is enough for now i think..

edit:
I forgot i changed the SHA3 hash algo a bit too
it made it a bit quicker i think.. see src code

edit2:
Forgot to say Green is normal and blue means that is your fastest submitted hash so far..

There is a command line for changing color modes too.. ON / OFF ? DULL or Bright mode (default)
use -w or --color
such as,
--color bright
--color none
--color normal
Note: if you don't have that command line in your bat it will default to bright mode like in the preview pic below.

It's a quick port so sorry if i missed something and fuck off with the donation crap please
and i added the source code GPL whiners so stfu lol
I don't want to listen to babies bicker over who gets donation money for a mod of a mod of a mod of a mod of a mod of a mod

ENJOY

Here is a preview of what it looks like..

I appreciate the mods. I think if you took a more humble tone people would not be so abrasive towards you. Count to 10 before you post, hahaha. You may or may not be cocky, but you come off that way sometimes and I think people react to that. Thanks again for the colors. Would love a 32 version (I have no idea how to compile on windows yet)

could anyone send me an invite to smalltimeminer pool? edm_94@hotmail.co.uk thanks

I just compiled GitHub

Kind of weird, considering I am SOLOmining...

[cbuchner1]

Kind of weird, considering I am SOLOmining...

agreed, this is weird. Try pointing cudaminer to a pool and see if you can get any Yays, If not then I would say you have a broken build.

A boo in solo mining generally means the work submitted was stale, as there is already a new block in the network or the client has added another transaction into the block.

[archtme]

So what pool are you people mining? Smalltimeminer is weird..  I get alot of stratum detected new block, then no hashing no nothing for 10 seconds, and then I get a few yay.

Max1.lgh I can't even connect to

From what I can see they are all getting DDos'd.

Hi all,

I've been trying to setup for mining Maxcoin for hours,  and keep receiving "Boo's".  Does this look ok for a GTX770?

cudaminer.exe --algo=keccak -H 2 -d 0 -i 0 -l K1000x32 -L 256 -C 1 -o stratum+tcp://max.rocketpool.co.uk:3333 -O worker:pass

Tried it on smalltimeminer too,  but all I'm seeing is "stratum detected new block" and it doesn't look like I have any valid shares submitted there either with this config.

Thanks in advance!

I would, if the pools actually worked...

I had a try at the latest version. There is a slight increase in the hashrate for the 780ti using K2880x32 (at 5760, I just get cudamalloc error lines), it is doing now 238Mhash/s (was 225Mhash) gpu usage 99~98% (was 92-93%)
However, the cpu usage is also much higher than in the previous version even if I use H2.

By the way, is this version also working on scrypt/scrypt-jane "or is it only for keccak ?

I don't like the CPU utilization increase much either. I will see what I can do about it,
while maintaining the hash rate increase.

It should be working for all other coins still, but that code hasn't been touched in a while.

I don't think we can:

REGISTRATIONS, POSTED FEB 8, 2014 AT 17:28 BY BIGAL
We have temporarily suspended new registrations to help out the network, please show your support by spreading your hashes to other pools.

Commit 170 in my case doesn't give any performance increase on my 660, just CPU utilization (even if I push very high kernel configs).

Is anyone mining with cudaminer on max.1gh.com pool successfully?

Code:

[2014-02-08] stratum_subscribe timed out

yes I am getting a lot of yays,

am running 2 lappys that gives me a total of about 57/mhs

have had my first 0.01 payout

and this is cause a great person who's name starts with the letter I  

all I can say to everybody is hang in there!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nevermind me, I still had that debug line of code appearantly...
I don't quite like how Git works on windows sometimes...

Edit: No hashrate improvement, 13% cpu usage (which is a single core/thread for me)

[sambiohazard]

Hi guys there is link for GUI wallet on @maxcoin twitter account if anyone is interested. I am running it right now. It is not working on win 8.

[sambiohazard]

They also posted the stratum code link. I guess we will now have much stable pool.

[cbuchner1]

Edit: No hashrate improvement, 13% cpu usage (which is a single core/thread for me)

the hash rate improvement required me to change my launch configs also...
larger block numbers (eg. 2 times number of CUDA cores on card)
