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

[zawawa]

When you are modding BIOS'es for GGS, you do so pretty much the same way you mod BIOS'es for Claymore's.
The only difference is that you *must* test them against GGS, not Claymore's.

GGS uses some of the kernels from the original Gateless Gate. However, everything else has been written from scratch in C#.
This was no trivial amount of work. Therefore, I am inclined to say that Gateless Gate Sharp is completely different from sgminer.
GGS is not a simple GUI wrapper for sgminer but intended to be a modern alternative for it.

Feature is disabled in the UI, is it planned or deprecated?

It is planned! I promise!

Gateless Gate Sharp 1.1.7 alpha
https://github.com/zawawawa/GatelessGateSharp/releases/tag/v1.1.7-alpha

* Removed the 8 GPU limitation.
* Made stratum connections more stable.

Now it's much easier to add new algorithms.
I will work on Equihash next.

damn!!! you have time on this period to work on your project cheers
Waiting patience for equihash algo to be add but wath out try to came with same performace like dtms & bminer & probabil many it will switch special you have only 1% deev fee
sadly excavator with i was like it become to slow & it not work on pool what i need coz that damn ban conflict ...
cheers & glad to see more miner app choise

Are you going to implement a web monitor of some kind so we can check our rigs? Or is it already implemented and I completely missed that?
The only reason we still use claymore is the monitoring features.

That is right... I will implement the sgminer-compatible JSON-RPC API along with a monitoring feature.

zawawa,

Your fantastic work is always appreciated!
Nevertheless I see the gap between users wishing you to add support for this and that (also, web-interface, linux version, etc.). We all know how depended your work is from the dev-fee.
May I suggest, you use something like https://www.bountysource.com to get "paid" for implementing new features etc.? It could be another source of income for you, while users can pledge (small) amounts of money to have things implemented quicker (e.g.: add equihash algo = $250. Only 25 members pledge 10 bucks and you'll have a nice "motivation-boost" to add this fast). Maybe by using such a mixed form of financing your work, you could even lower the dev-fee in the future?
Just an idea you may want to consider..

Cheers,
Andy

Thank you. I will consider that option. I am under the impression, however, that I just need to keep improving GGS until it reaches a tipping point where the userbase is large enough that full-time development on this miner is financially justified and viable. As far as I know, when it comes to miner development, the top dog gets everything, and rightfully so. We will see whether GGS would survive on this cutthroat Cryptoland. I am just hoping my wife's patience would last long enough...

[eroxors]

How do I run this without the GUI in windows? Is there a silent mode? TIA

Well point of a fee add to miner app: to get income to motivate dev to keep app update & on optimal performance. What it means if ppls ask for diferite alg ? it means there are demand on that type (with it can be a good feedback for dev, my be he not have time to track all UP & Down crypto movement), then if is a demand it means more ppls it will use miner app aka it means more income for dev from fee, is simple aka a win win situation. Same if ppls ask for something it means ppls see in dev work a potential improvement & it can help dev to make his app better & better

Soo from my perspective asking for a specific amount $$$$ just add a algo or for some feature it will look greedy, i my opinion ... but in the end is choice of dev how it decide to work ... aaaa IF a person say I WANT now a alg or something to be ad & i want NOW yes dev can ask for pay or they can negotiate in private, there are multiple option ...

Now what is benefit of have more miner app? it create competition between dev with is good for miner get more happy & dev steady fee income, agen win win situation

Is a easy task ?! off course not but none force someone to make something free or payd ... & at this special period crismas, holiday when most of us want to spend time with family or frend's it not matter all we just need to be patience & wait thing to move on soo cheers agen & Happy Holiday to all mates

p.s. zawawa like a joke if you get wife agroo or on enrage mod then i gues it will not mater anything cheers

https://postimg.org/image/nv8vs14az/I get thsi error when starting the 1.1.6 and 1.1.7, any ideas?

[Saphire]

Can you help me please !
I am trying to mine Solaris.
I want to use GatelessGate but it always gives Invalid Shares.
What is wrong with this miner?
My .bat file is
gatelessgate.exe -k xevan --gpu-platform 1 -o stratum+tcp://pool.bsod.pw:3739 -u Sk1DHYs3ucC7potBLhc3dfxBZyGeuPYPjr -p c=XLR_XEVAN -I 16 -w 256 -g 1

And tis is the error


I tried 3 diffirent pools and the result is the same..

How did you upgrade the application? Did you use the installer, or did you download one of the archives?
My guess is that you just copied the .exe file and forgot about the .dll files.

You cannot do that at the moment.

Old gatelessgate is not supported. Use GatelessGate Sharp.

It is most likely that your graphics card does not have enough memory for Ethash.
Which video card are you using?

[zawawa]

AMD's Blockchain Driver seems incompatible with Windows 10 Version 1709.
Grrrrr......

[Romulus2k17]

So the GUI Less GG is no longer supported? Bummer. I was starting to like it a lot, specially the UltraTune feature.

I tweaked it to provide me 500 Kh/s while mining NeoScrypt on a measly old HD 7950 running at 1060/1470. Here's my bat file if anyone's interested.

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

GatelessGate.exe --api-port 14028 --api-listen -k neoscrypt -o stratum+tcp://yourdesiredpool.com:port -u username.worker -p x -g 1 -w 384 --xintensity 32 --gpu-memclock 1470 --gpu-engine 1060 --expiry 24 --queue 1 --scan-time 12 --gpu-platform 0

Pause

Tip: you can set the work size higher for even better hashrate!
