How much hashrate in lbry?

Not supported yet, look at the github page.

Hey dev thanks fot ur miner, I got 17mh now in my 5x rx 480 8gb  stock rom, Im currently mining Signatum, b4 my sgminer is very unstable.. Can i increase my hashrate a liitle bit? what is the best settings, im using afterburner.

But it seems that i got some problem in my rx 570 8gb nitro+ and Aorus rx 570 4gb, your miner cannot read the card, can you help me please.. Thanks

Is it possible to make the initialization of video cards faster? Quite a long time to wait until all are initialized. Or let's make 2 modes. As now, and the second - that would all be immediately initialized.

It looks to be initializing the cards in serial instead of parallel.

How to disable monero mining?

Edit the config.json file, changing "enabled" in "cpu" from true to false.

did that thanks.

How to chose between GPU algos? I currently deleted address from all other coins and left only SIGT so it mines just that.


What is more important for SIGT mining Core or Memory speed any advices for rx 470 or rx 480?

Core...at least in default miner, don't see reason this one to be different

any idea why i got only 30 mh/s on 6x 1060 ?

Only first initialization is that slow, later launches are faster thanks to caching of some data.

Does this support solo mining?  I tried my credentials for solo mining and it does not work....I replaced the url with mine, and the user/pass fields with mine.  Am I doing something wrong...i don't think so, but I could be wrong on that!  LoL!

@semtexzv

Great work!

20,2-20,4 MH/s @RX480 Reddvil 1350/2100
On MSI R9 380 same result like sgminer ~6,3MH/s @1000/1500.

Both on Relive 17.7.2

Is there room for more hashrates ;-)?

What should my .json look like to mine SIGT?
I'm opening the .exe and it immediately closes.

Run it from cmdline and post it's output

Certainly . It probably doesn't work on older hardware because it uses a lot of local memory in OpenCL ( amount is limited ).
As for speed, after some analysis, iIthink I found the culprit . I'll have some time this weekend to see if I can optimize it more.

Even if it's in alpha stage, the miner is working very efficiently. I was facing so many issues with sgminer but this worked in one go. I'm already hashing at 130 MH/s for 6x RX 580.

It actually worked with my Radeon 7990/280x but only around 1 mhs/card 😂😂. Ill stick to equihash..

[orbital_station1]

Anyone got H/s for R9 390?

I am away from home and cant test it right now.

Old cards, miner is optimized for RX 4**,5** cards. The older architecture has less resources per compute core, so the utilization of GPU tanks.

[trippcheck]

i will try on my 4 rx480 rig
many thx

Thank you for the work. I'll try to test on linux, but I get

Hmm, try running "RUST_BACKTRACE=full ./prospector gen-config", and "RUST_BACKTRACE=full ./prospector list-devices" , Never seen this code crash, proabably something with GPU detection

8.85MH/s on RX560 compared to 8.3 on sgminer...when
you take away 2% fee, about 5% faster...hope theres still
more room for improvement...and buy some AMD cards soon,
as you have more room to colelct your fees there, because
ccminer for Nvidias seem to be highly optimized already
