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

[zawawa]

zawawa, can't you say how in gg (or sgminer) force to not initialize 1 of cards? F.e. if i have 2 cards even with option --devices miner initializes both of cards and load kernels for them but on 1 cards just stay OFF.
I want to mine though gg miner 1 algo on 1st card and 2nd algo via other miner on 2nd card. But gg initialize 2nd card and reduce speed on other miner.

I don't think that's possible with GG or sgminer.
I am rewriting GG in C# now, and I will make sure to fix the problem.

Hello everyone.
I am having a problem with GG and cryptonight mining.
On every pool that has variable difficulty, eventually your miner will be assigned a high diff and if GG will not find a share for 90 seconds
it will disconnect, upon reconnect diff will be at whatever starting diff port you have chosen and the whole cycle repeats.
Overall hashing speed takes a hit from all the disconnects.
I think the following code is responsible for the disconnect (gatelessgate.c):

Code:

        /* The protocol specifies that notify messages should be sent
         * every minute so if we fail to receive any for 90 seconds we
         * assume the connection has been dropped and treat this pool
         * as dead */
        if (!sock_full(pool) && (sel_ret = select(pool->sock + 1, &rd, NULL, NULL, &timeout)) < 1) {
            applog(LOG_DEBUG, "Stratum select failed on %s with value %d", get_pool_name(pool), sel_ret);
            s = NULL;
        } else
            s = recv_line(pool);

        if (!s) {
            applog(LOG_NOTICE, "Stratum connection to %s interrupted", get_pool_name(pool));
            pool->getfail_occasions++;
            total_go++;

And the  static initialization of the timeout a few lines above:

Code:

        timeout.tv_sec = 90;
        timeout.tv_usec = 0;

This disconnect does not occur on xmr_stak miners.

A workaround is setting a low enough fixed diff to ensure max share time < 90 sec, unfortunately most pools do not support fixed diff.

Thanks! I'll wait. And some time ago you promised to add optimiztions for GCN1.0 cards...

Anyway, great work! Keep going...

great to see you back been using GG for xmr and getting better rates than Claymore also I tried  mining eth on miningpoolhub but the pool side is reporting half of my hashrate on all my miners it's weird GG is reporting the correct rate I don't know if it's something with their stratum

[zawawa]

Just to be clear, the new version of GG is still under development.
I will reuse the original OpenCL kernels, but everything else will be rewritten from scratch.
The code base of sgminer is just so messy that I just do not want to deal with it any more.
I just want to keep the new GG clean, lean, and mean.
I will come back when I have a usable miner.

Just hope it wont be as buggy as excavator on AMD. I just couldn't get to work because of the phymem, just hang my pc every time

I know... To be honest with you, that feature was too experimental for production use.
I am working on the new version of GG as a redemption, so to speak. We will see.

I see new miner! Its beautiful. Please, if you have time, compiling version for Windows x64

Where? Give a link please! Or a screenshot at least...

May I ask when you plan to release it and can you also give us some details?
Wouldn't mind giving 1% to you instead of Claymore   .

is this miner designed only for AMD GPUs?

I wanted to try gateless gate for FTC mining, downloaded this version: gatelessgate-0.1.3-pre6b-win64
after that changed only conf for my pool and executed. This occured:
[22:27:42] Started Gateless Gate v0.1.3-pre6
[22:27:42] * using Jansson 2.9
[22:27:42] Loaded configuration file gatelessgate-Feathercoin.conf
[22:27:42] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
[22:27:42] All devices disabled, cannot mine!

running on: i3 3220, 10GB ram, GTX1060 6G, Win7Pro64b, Nvidia driver 384.76
Other ccminers are working great (klausT, Alexis, ...). Only this yours not. I tried every algo bat file provided in your archive but it is not able to detect my GPU. Where could be a problem?

I won't be supporting the original GG anymore. Sorry!

Wouldn't mind giving 1% to you instead of Claymore   .

If you are really curious, you could build it yourself with VS 2013:

https://github.com/zawawawa/GatelessGateSharp

Although you can use it only with Ethash and NiceHash at this point,
I am planning to add all the relevant algos as well as support for major pools.
The DEVFEE will probably be 1%, but it will be waived for some pools.
I will take my time to polish the miner this time around.
I hope to announce the first release within a month or so.
In the meantime, I will keep updating the GitHub repository.
We will see.

Hi

GatelessGateSharp without  neoscrypt?
If you may, to add please

Best Regards

Thanks! I'll wait until you make some alpha or beta version to tests. Hope that devfee will be configurable and can be disabled same as in GG. Also would give 1% to you instead of Claymore. Your GG gives more speed for less power consumption. Hope that new GGSharp will be the same with nice interface. Also hope that you add zec, neoscrypt, ether and cryptonight. ETH with dual algos...
Waiting!

[zawawa]

Gateless Gate # now supports the following major pools: NiceHash, ethermine.org, ethpool.org, DwarfPool, and Nanopool. I must say C# is surprisingly usable for miner development. The UI is coming along quite nicely, and there hasn't been a major performance hit.

I can add neoscrypt and dual-mining for sure, but I don't know about the no fee option.
Honestly, I was not making much money with the original GG, and I don't expect I would be making a whole lot with GG# either.
I just need the DEVFEE to cover the cost of development, including hardware for testing. I hope you understand.

[zawawa]

I just uploaded the first alpha version for testing purposes:
