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

[joaocha]

1. Does your miner work without reward to the developer?  

I am not going to answer this one.  

2. How can I find out about hardware errors? (For example, as in the Gateless Gate field HW)
3. How can I find out about the complexity of the shares?

To be implemented.

4. The numbers of video cards do not correspond to AfTerBurner or GPU-Z ... etc?
5. 8 graphics cards are not recognized correctly?
5 cards - http://piccy.info/view3/11802575/ab667f9e50fd2a8a37dd41c892364ace/
8 cards - http://piccy.info/view3/11802589/ef059b5ea9c4154c9cfb0178d4927bdb/

I will look into this.

6. How to connect to European pools without using the Custom tabs

GGS automatically chooses the server with the fastest response time.
In your case, a server outside Europe responded more quickly than European servers.

1. Why? I see at the beginning of the work you are rewarded, this is not a problem! I just want an understanding of how it works.
Or is there any problem with this? I am for making your work paid for on transparent terms.
In this case, I wrote to Mr. Claymore in the forum topic ... and was not happy with his attitude and comments about the theft, etc.

2. & 3. Thank you! Waiting so much!

4&5 - i send RIGS with the same videocards. RIG bigger then 6 cards dosnt recognize correctly.

6. Thank you! I See.

7. How, in your opinion, to regulate the complexity of the pools that it is allowed to do?

8. How is it fixed to set the fan speed for video cards?

Comments: If you enter Monero's purse and click - "view balance" - the site opens without an inscribed wallet.
And // about #7: In my case it turned out like this: in the Monero string of purse, write through "." the name of the worker and through the "+" complexity.

Dude, you created this account to be a pain in the ass on every developer in this forum, if you are not happy with fee, use genoil miner its free, stop bothering everyone ffs.

I realized that, now that I am not involved in the development of excavator, I am free to add CUDA kernels to GGS...
ManagedCUDA is already part of the miner, so it shouldn't be that hard.
I have to get the OpenCL stuff done first, though.

Zawawa what drivers are you using I have one rig that's giving problems win 10 pro with beta blockchain drivers I'm currently running sgminer nicehash version mining monero on nicehash it seems stable but whenever I try the new GGS my rig crashes with the error below in event viewer also I get kernel power which is probably from a unexpected shutdown do you know what it means should I say screw it and reinstall win 10 pro

Can you help me?


Can`t start Equihash mining. No active button, no Equihash algo.

Sad to hear that you are no longer involved in the development of excavator, you seem to be a good developer and excavator a good product.
In the other hand, I am looking forward to the development of this miner too. I am actively using it in my AMD rigs to support it. Keep going, you're doing an excellent work.

[restless]

Congratulations for the good work... main window looks cool

but still, I have some problems making it running

 - I keep getting errors when trying to mine devfee:

- Devfee on every start for 1 minute... frustrating when one is changing settings and just wants to see the speed (see above I don't see any speed for 1 min)
Maybe you can try to keep time of devfee mining since start of the program ?

- custom pools - what kind of address to use? It seems one has to omit "stratum+tcp://"  ?

- What cards are supported, eg tested? I get some weird results on 7950 and 270x like all shares from 270 : "[7] Share rejected: Low difficulty share"

- speed reedings seem a weird from time to time (like... 270x making 1000h/s on monero)

- after hitting stop, last line in log is "stopping miners"... no line "miners stopped"  

-after clicking for 10min, the tab "Pool Settings" went stuck into greyed-out position, so no changinf of mined algo. Other tabs were ok.

Whats really bad - it remains greayed-out after program restart :/
I added 1 xmr pool and 1 exp pool, after disableing pool 1 (xmr), on start program started mining eth ... and crashed, because the 270 has only 2GB...

Will try to add more quirks to fix for you

Thank You wasn't sure if it was my miner I'm also running blockchain drivers

[dalat]

Just cloned the repo to do a linux build then noticed the autotools requirement.

The Lbry kernel is finally working... I should be able to get dual-mining in in a day or two.

Excellent result! What memory type is on card? Samsung?

[Pennywis3]

First off, kudos to you, Mr. Yurio for taking on a project like this on your own.
Its nice and very motivational to see a person with your mindset and programing capabilities to start a project like this ( Looking at you Mr. Wolf  ).

Since this has come a long way, I decided to start testing the 1.1.1. Alpha version.
I have done a few hours of tests, nothing special, it has not been running for days, so don't take my tests for granted.
All of the test have been done on a 6x Sapphire Nitro+ RX570 4GB ( Hynix ) machine, running Windows 10 Pro x64 build 1607 ( Default Microsoft Image - no updates ).
Testing has been done on XMR mining only, I've used same setting as I use in my SGminerGM, xmr-stack-amd and Claymore miners >>> RI:896 | W:8 | T:2
The settings are with power consumption in mind, the cards are running 1200 core / 2000 memory @900 - 920mV

Lets start with the good things:

- Good, competitive speed
- Decent amount of options to setup the cards ( didn't try overclocking )
- Friendly user interface
- Easy installation and config to use for beginners

Now for the bad part:

- Random crashes ( The app has stopped working windows error )
- Sometimes when changing the pool from devfee to my pool, or the other way around, the threads become unresponsive, it tries to restart but nothing happens - sometimes the machine crashes.
- Speed is not quite there yet, getting about 10- 15 h/s more on SGMiner GM ( about 970 - 975 h/s with same settings )
- Unresponsive GUI - takes a while for the page to refresh - probably infecting stability
- A bit higher power consumption than SGMiner GM, about 15-20w for the whole rig, not much of an issue, can be overlooked if the stability would improve
- Very high startup times - takes 40 sec for the devfee mining to start and another 2 min. for my mining to start - that's 2:40 to start mining from the start of miner - sorry, this is unacceptable - other miners start way faster and change between pools faster, you need to work on this

Things I would like to see in future releases:

- Stability! No.1 Concern
- faster start and pool / devfee change
- More configuration options ( ability to restart rig, not to restart threads if unstable, command prompt interface only etc. )
- Responsive GUI

All in all I would say you are making great progress, and this is becoming a really good miner.
Once the stability issues are solved and some features are added I will be happy to use it and show my support to You.
I will keep testing this on one rig any report further findings if I find any.

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

[UnclWish]

Pennywis3, are you use modded bioses for your cards? I can't reach your speed on my RX 580 8Gb with hynix memory even on 2250MHz...

[Pennywis3]

Yes, I'm using custom made straps.

The cards go well beyond 1k h/s, but its not very power efficient to run them at such high clocks.

[zawawa]

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

Thank YOU for such a detailed report!
I will definitely address stability issues and response times with stable releases of the current 1.1 branch.
I am planning to add more testing rigs to approximate various real-world settings more closely. We will see.
Power consumption is not something I looked into very closely at this point, but I will get to it once I am satisfied with the other aspects of the miner.

[zawawa]

Dual ETH/LBC mining is working!
Lbry is still slow and I am planning a major optimization today, though.
