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

[fluxy12]

Zawawa, forget about X17, Equihash etc.
Focus on bringing a fast Lyra2z miner, please. There's lots of speed to be unlocked for AMD hardware and a gap you could fill. The Linux-only TDXminer is already a lot faster than SGminer, and a guy called Kerney666 claimed to have achieved even higher hashrates with smart use of GCN ASM (as opposed to OpenCL).

Bring that to life and you've got a winner on your hands.

100% Agree, this algo seems to be the next AMD overkill. The first dev who will have this working on W10 must see a bunch of miners come to him and i hope that it will be Zawawa because his miner is the best i have found ATM (all my mines are there on Monero : rx580 8gb armor : 850h/s 90W at wall).

What coins can you mine with Lyra2z ?

[MinedTangerine]

I vote for Lyra2z. Good coins are on that algo and it works really good an AMD cards.

[zawawa]

Alright, the new version seems to be working fine now.
I will release it today, I promise!

[zawawa]

Also, I figured out how to manage cheap USB watchdogs.
Hopefully this would ease the pain of optimizations...

I still cannot install the 1.3.5 on my PC. The program is neither in add or remove programs, cannot find an uninstall file in the folder. How to proceed?

You can download zipped archive of program not installer. Then just extract into any folder and run GGS.

I apologize for an off topic, but as touched upon a subject WatchDOG, Board Made to himself of "Digispark Kickstarter Mini USB Development" (https://www.electroschematics.com/12102/learn-to-use-attiny85-usb-mini-development-board/), Ebay 2$. Created a small code which tracks for activity of HDD LED, in case of long absence of a signal reboots system. In operation it is connected directly to "front panel connector" on matherboard, without use to a relay. USB using only for loading of a code.

[zawawa]

Actually, GGS is now compatible with the aforementioned USB watchdog.
I got pretty lucky on this one...

[zawawa]

Most of the graphics cards I purchased arrived already, including Sapphire Nitro+ Vega 64.
Got to finish up v1.3.6 soon...

Hi

Just finished testing 1.3.5 and I notice that the Default Pool MiningPoolHub on CryptonightV7 set me to Asia and some times to US and I live in Europe. Etash is fine, can you add a field to set location? ThanKs.

Be well

That's normal as GGS measures the response time of each server and picks the server with the least amount of response time.

OK, thanks. Enjoy your new GPU's

Any way to force the login to europe servers ? ping can be better in asia at one moment and very poor a few seconds later, creating a lot of stale shares.

OK, I will improve geolocation detection.

Yay ! So far - so good. Just installed it on my testrig and it acts up a bit. CN Heavy: Miner restarts as soon as a 2nd 8GB card wants to start with two threads. Nothing in the logs - just a miner restart. Will dig a bit deeper l8r on when i have a bit more time. More details when i had time to fidel a bit with the miner

Crap.  I have the same issue.  2 R9 390x.  First one starts up, but when second one starts when goes from 1.2GB memory to 2.4, application crashes

Great news, how to purchase one "plug ang play" from you ? Delivery to France.
