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

[zawawa]

All the pool stability issues aside, I think the technical side of the new fee system is working.
The low numbers of valid shares and active computers are as expected.                                   .
I just need more people to mine with the fee on.
At the current pace, I would be making an impressive $3/month. LOL

Can i change to asia pool for the donation part? coz i'm from asia side..

No problem.

Not sure if this is common, but you may see less donated shares because of it:
[08:33:05] Stratum connection to ethermine.org interrupted
[08:33:06] Rejected untracked stratum share from ethermine.org
[08:33:09] Stratum connection to ethermine.org interrupted
[08:33:10] ethermine.org not responding!
[08:33:10] Switching to ethermine.org (donation)
[08:33:12] ethermine.org alive, testing stability
[08:34:20] ethermine.org stable for 60 seconds
[08:34:20] Switching to ethermine.org

I also think it would be best to move away from sgminer. It's great that it supports a ton of currencies, but you're going to end up burdened supporting this massive codebase that comes with a lot of quirks.

What mbevand did by moving all the sensitive code to C and using Python for communication was brilliant imo. It's simple, readable, and testable.

One last thing is that the Core folder may be more neat organizationally, but it also adds another level of complexity for the less technologically inclined (to put it nicely) users. Perhaps a separate project for each optimized coin, like Claymore's miners, with all the guts in the root folder would do you well.

The thing about SA's Python implementation is that it does not work well at all on Windows.
In fact, the miner got faster by 10% just by switching from SA to sgminer-gm while keeping the same Equihash kernel.
I am not entirely satisfied with sgminer as I said before, and I will probably write my own backend and user-interface in Clojure in a long run.

zawawa,

you are sure for the conf with devfee ?
i run many hour and no devfee !
now i have read and change my conf with load-balance at true.

https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/blob/master/README.md

The load-balance multipool strategy works off a quota based scheduler.

[elgi76]

i try many thing and only this work :

be carefull, i have change many option.

Well I ran the farm for 12Hrs but had to switch back to claymore as my effective hash was dropping, Need to fine tune more for 470 cards.

Not saying it's not GG, but effective hash rate in subject to variance, just like everything else. It's not a flat line, if that's what you're looking for.

I understand but I should have been seeing 2.2-3.4GH/s fluctuation however I was only seeing 1.6-2.5GH/s with my full farm. Testing on a single 470 GG was faster but it was slower on my full farm. I am looking into optimizations for my 4 Card rigs now to see if it's just a config issue I was just trying to let zawawa know why I had to pull the farm from the fee version of GG for now.

Are you running one instance of GG per rig, or one instance per card? If only one per rig, you might try one per card. Sometimes the miner's threading can be less than optimal (not just GG). I always get better farm stability with a miner instance per card.

[cryptominer420]

That is one of the things I am testing but I have to find the best options/config before switching my farm again.

Thanks for letting me know. I should be able to get to RX 470 tomorrow night.
I will also look into sgminer's implementation of multi-threading.

Great! I will update the repository accordingly.

[zawawa]

I just uploaded a new pre-release with updated configuration files:

https://github.com/zawawawa/gatelessgate/releases/tag/v0.1.3-pre6a

The new configuration files should work better. Please let me know.

No other changes except bat-files?

Are you planning to end zec optimization? Adding nicehash support?

[zawawa]

The numbers look somewhat better now... Let's wait and see for the next 24 hours.

ZEC optimizations and NiceHash support are among the next items on the agenda.
No worries.

zawawa, have you seen PM I've sent you?

I just replied to it. Sorry about the delay.

pre6 on ethash-new with modded 470s running at 1080:2000 @850mv makes slightly less/same as claymore (27.2 vs 27.5), however power consumption is higher with GG  - 8W per card! (also there're HW errors, and cannon say for sure what's going on from the pool side)
Great progress anyway!
