Gateless Gate Sharp 1.3.8: 30Mh/s (Ethash) on RX 480!

[zawawa]

Hi, can I mine with GG some forks of ETH or only ETH is supported? And GG it's for both AMD & NVIDIA cards?

Somebody reported in this thread it's possible.

Probably not every ETH fork can be mine by GG, trying ti mine some fork with gtx1060 and getting an error

So what is the problem can be with it?

Well, I need to know, at the very least, which coin you were trying to mine and which pool you were trying to connect.

Hi, zawawa
I'm trying to mine this coin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1811194.0, the pool is http://213.154.202.174:5550
May be I'm doing something wrong?
I'll try to mine some other ETH fork, it's became an interesting to myself)

Tried to mine this coin https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1776113.0 with pool http://musicoin.nomnom.technology/#/, mining with GG don't even started.
Seems that GG do not working with different ETH forks or maybe some of them.

[laik2]

The problem is not with GG but with stratum server different pools are using.

Maybe, but ethminer have no problems with stratum server of different pools.

[SunStruck]

also it could be the same reason why claymore doesnt work with your dbix coin (ethash), only after the blockchain reached height #30000.

[zawawa]

Oh well, I will get to that when I have a chance.
The Ethash kernel is a tad faster now. I will push the change to the repo soon.
These Ethash kernels are so weird... Seemingly innocuous changes cause hardware errors for no obvious reasons.
It is so refreshing to work on a different kernel after tackling with Equihash for so long, though.

What is the situation with Equihash? You can increase speed close to Claymore miner results? Whan we can test it?

I am currently working on a new sorting algorithm.
It's hard to give you a definite time frame now, though.

only nets like 24Mh

does that mean its not loading the asm?

May i know your configuration bat file? mine rx480 only got below 28mhs
and how do i know i'm using the asm version ethash? i just download the precompiled binaries for windows.

[cryptominer420]

@nimy

You have to download the source from github and extract the binary-kernel, and Kernel folders to GG pre4 folder then I use the settings provided by OP. You should be able to get 28 - 29.

Note: I have been tweaking my cards bioses for quite some time now to achieve the speeds I have. I have been monitoring the timings thread to learn and nerdralph has a tool that got me a 1MH boost to my old mem shift timings. (I don't share my bioses as I believe everyone can take the time to learn if they want more.)

Thanks for the report!
So GG is officially faster than Claymore's, albeit in a totally unexpected way, huh?

[cryptominer420]

Yea, The miner was only reporting 27-30MH/s but pool side it was always more.

Thanks.. now i got 28mhs.. worth it.. next need to optimize my memory timings..

[laik2]

With newer kernel HW error rate has increased a bit, Using your asm binary kernel reports 29.5 stable with less hw errors. When  I delete bins and ethash-new.cl generates binary kernel rate reaches 30.1 but with about 3.66 hw errors per minute average, last one was with 2.33 average.

[nimy]

How to minimize the hardware error? Got a lot HW.. using default intensity from github.

[zawawa]

i just uploaded a new pre-release with Ethash assembly kernels for all GCN1/GCN3 devices, including Fury, Fury X, and Nano:

https://github.com/zawawawa/gatelessgate/releases/tag/v0.1.3-pre5

The default settings in .bat/.sh files are improved as well.
As always, I really appreciate your donations and feedback. Enjoy!
