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

I'm not seeing my average hashrate for some reason.

Me too!
I've been mining for half a day now. Is there any button we can press to instantly check our avg hashrate?

[oli123]

Also, if card temperatures are possible.

[dbguru]

Just discovered and using this from ethos (Ubuntu) and so far, seems like I'm getting about 20% hash rate improvement on RX470/570/580, so the 1% dev fee is definitely worth it.

These are stock values, no o/c (all cards are bios modded for eth mining though).

RX 470 = 14.59 - 15.3 mh/s
RX 570 = 15.8 mh/s
RX 580 = 18.65 mh/s

Thank you, Great job!

Will continue to check in to see when you fix the eth issues, would be great to have another alternative eth miner and maybe even more mh/s than claymore ?

[semtexzv]

Thanks for this. I'll be mining part time with this app.

Some suggestions:
Claymore's has the option to press a button and see the current status. Would be very cool if we could press 's' and see a 1 minute average hash rate and those other little details.

Share submitted could be a different color in the text, it gives a little more excitement to the mining process (and helps when you look at a glance and see things are working).


Lastly, the CPU miner just pegs my CPU in Windows 10. Limiting CPU usage would be nice. This would also be nice to have adjustments on the GPU side, but it isn't nearly as important.

I want to do all these things, but I only have so much time. I am currently focusing on getting better SIGT performance.

[vuli]

I like the software as well. you made a good job.
About mining xmr with cpu, is there any command to enter how many threads can cpu use to mine xmr?

[ca3aH]

In the archive only exe there is no file readme how to configure the launch. Where to look for information about the launch. How much time should I spend? Why you can not put an archive file with an example like this makes claymore.

Ovo je slaba pomoć ako čovjek nije Rus ili možda Ukrajinac

Pomoć nije slaba.

I realy dont understan How its work on windows.

I've opend exe and got config and than what ?

[vuli]

than go the the grocery store and buy some bier.
Open config file- notepad, notepad++, and change wallet address to yours. You can change pool, what coin will you mine with gpu and so on.

Is this can work ?  My pool and stratum+tcp://sigt.suprnova.cc:7106,  worker; prdn.name, pw 1453

Anyone can edit for me ?

Here you go

    },
  },
  "gpu-coin": "sigt",
  "cpu-coin": "xmr",
  "gpus": {
    "(0:0)": {
      "enabled": true,
      "label": "Ellesmere1"
    },
    "(0:1)": {
      "enabled": true,
      "label": "Ellesmere2"
    },
    "(0:2)": {
      "enabled": true,
      "label": "Ellesmere3"
    },
    "(0:3)": {
      "enabled": true,
      "label": "Ellesmere4"
    }
  },
  "cpu": {
    "enabled": false,
    "label": "CPU"
  }
}

It seems that people don't know how JSON works, I will probably change default configuration format to YAML or something like that.

This should not be your priority now.

Some additional comments:
- I have experienced that when a card (1 of 6) crashes, the miner will still reports a normal hashrate from it, even though I can see that it has dropped in watts and hashrate on the pool.
- As some others have mentioned the 3x total average information is missing. This must be from
The miner crashed on me a couple of times yesterday, meaning that I will currently only mine using this miner, when I'm home. I do not see similar crashes in sgminer. So stability and optimizing SIGT mining should be at the top of your to do list on this

Thanks for your effort!

I couldn't get it maybe its my  fault but thats should be like sgminer or claymore.. it's really hard to understand.

Hi,

Awesome miner reporting higher hashrates using 6x 570 nitros 4gb over sgminer. (113mhs vs 100) can get more but testing at the moment.

A few things to mention:

1. It does seem a little more unstable at the moment compared to sgminer,  but given thats it still in alpha stage its still pretty damn stable. (had a few crashes, etc)

2. Recent crash i had reached around 3000 shares. Said something to do with 'it panicked' was telling me to run backtrace, not sure what that is. Any clue? The miner was still running, power draw war correct bu no hashrate reported in miner/pool account.

3. This seems like a bug to me. After closing the miner due to restarting miner/crash or restarting pc, the miner stops reporting the average hasrates of gpus as mentioned by others. They are also not running correctly, as power draw is cut by more than half, nor is the hashrate reported correctly on pool account. The fix i found was to delete the info and config files, re run the miner to create fresh files of both and inputting your info, mining pool, username etc into config file again. Run the miner and it should be back to normal.

These are a few things i noticed. Again awesome job, looking forward to further versions!

I for one am happy when morons cannot figure out how to mine.

so this supposed to be you ?  focus your job not mine moron

Thank you very much for this easy fix! I deleted info and json files and it came back alive. Gonna be monitoring it though, because mine crashed around 3000 shares too.
Dev needs to look into this bug not showing avg hashrate,
