[ANN] Prospector - Multi-Coin GPU+CPU cryptocurrency miner

[dsldsl]

I tested it on my 6 x RX580 8Gb and hash rate looks higher than using Sgminer.

Using stock 1366/2000 with a little bit of undervolting I am getting 20.2-20.4Mh

Same settings on Sgminer with intensity 20 I got 18.75Mh.


1) CPU seems to be less occupied with your miner and I do see some GPU on 0% load every now and then

2) Power usage is lower then Sgminer and maybe that is reflected by the idling on some GPU sometimes. 490W with Sgminer and 453W with Prospector.

3) GPU are a lot cooling, they are mostly 60 degrees or below,  and with SGminer they are mostly in the early 60s. I got have all my fans running 60% and my room temperature is around 21 degrees.


So from just looking at hash rate it looks good but on suprnova portal my hash rate on SGminer is quite stable at around 100-110Mh but with Prospector it fluctuate a lot. It can be 120Mh then drop to 60Mh or sometimes 50Mh.

I think there are rooms for improvement definitely but it looks promising so far.

There is an issue with work stalls on gpus with 19 MH/s + , I have fixed this issue and will publish a new build soon.

Is this the complete file or there are more? I only got Prospector.exe in the download. Thanks

Both Linux and Windows versions are statically linked binaries.

I didn't really change the default config apart from adding the pool address ...etc . As long as you set gpu-coin to sigt, it does really matter if the other coins are there. You need to set cpu to disable

Sigt is not supported on CPU, and miner recognizes this as an error. I will change this behavior in next release so that miner will not close if you insert invalid info, it will simpy inform you and don't mine.

For now set "cpu-coin" to "xmr" and "cpu" entry "enabled" to false

I tested it on my GİGABYTE RX 560 gb 8.7-9 mh mine

[phylton]

I got about an 16 MH/s increase with 6 RX 570 Sapphire Pulse 4 Gb, which is pretty much like having a 7th gpu running along.
Went from 16,5-17 MH/s on SGminer to over 19 Mh/s.

Definitely makes up for the 1% devfee. Thank you so much and please keep optimizing this miner! Finnally we AMD miners get some upgrade to mine SIGT.

Thanks again!

Any reason why my shares aren't being accepcted? It says 0 accepted / 33 total.

Thank you so much. It is working now and getting the following. Not sure why showing no shares accepted though.

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 only, not so much mem opperations in comparison.

[SchuerfImperium]

Works fine,
with RX580 8GB 19 M/h with undervolting...
SGMiner only 15-16 M/h with undervolting
Many thanks!

Whats your undervolting specs?

[dsldsl]

Will have to wait for your Windows build before testing then.

[Mind163]

After optimization and debugging, you need to start working on a dual mode, like Claymore. The beginning is good. I wish the author luck. I will test whenever possible.

The miner not working on my R9 280x x3 cards only rejected and driver crashed.
Miner intialized on 1 card and 2 other card is disable then in a few min device(0:1) initialized...then driver crashed

Old GPUs, current version does not work on 2xx hardware. I am working on complete kernel rewrite that might help.

Added windows binaries for 0.0.6

Any idea why I'm getting 0 accepted shares / x total??
