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

[semtexzv]

I have ran this miner for a month, mining sigt.   I had fantastic result 135 Mh/s vs 111 with claymore.  I didn't see anything fishy just great result and stable. 

Shame that developer abandoned it

Yep and i lost all my coins on the mining site too as it shut down....  oh well     live and learn... make sure to move coins to my wallet asap ... i suppose

Nicehash is back up, Miner should be working again.

[SundanceKid2020]

Yeah, nicehash works again, but Prospector failed:

ERROR  Could not connect to stratum+tcp://skunk.eu.nicehash:3362/ after 10 attempts, exiting

[IndigoSun]

Hi all anyone Know configuratio to put to restart miner when its crash ?

My miner after one or 2 horas running crash and dont restart by itself

I started and its up there some conf calle  reminer.exe --   somthing like that anyone could to help me pls?

thanks

Yeah, nicehash works again, but Prospector failed:

ERROR  Could not connect to stratum+tcp://skunk.eu.nicehash:3362/ after 10 attempts, exiting

EU servers seem to be screwy, I could mine on USA servers just fine

Well I need to know more, what does the miner output when it crashes ? It should auto restart on recoverable errors.

02:44:56 - ERROR  Could not connect to stratum+tcp://skunk.eu.nicehash:3362/ after 10 attempts, exiting

[jamgd]

Love you miner...one catch...it goes down every hour and doesn't reset because it cannot connect to dev fee pool. I know you are busy but could you fix this, or walk us through the process to fix?

Thanks and good luck

[muceua]

Same request from me.
Fix this pls "Could not connect to stratum+tcp://skunk.eu.nicehash:3362/ after 10 attempts, exiting"
All my 20 AMD rigs geting this error...
I can't watch them for a whole day long to keep them working... pls..

[jamgd]

i was able to fix the problem by setting up a scheduling task using a free program called "system scheduler." I set this to go off every hour on the hour and restart 1 minute past the hour. This way the dev still gets his fee and I'm only losing one minute an hour of mining. Sucks to lose any time but the program is one of the best for AMD.

Having a strange issue when mining Skunk on RX 480 + Blockchain drivers

After initialization, the GPU speed drops to ~600 instead of working on the max 1250MHz
Obviously the hashrate suffers and is about 15 instead on 19+

Any ideas why is this happening or how to force the full speed?

The fan in the above scenario is running on almost silent and the temperatures are pretty low

And it works fine on all other miners including dual mining (which heats it up way more)

Its possible that it started after installing the Blockchain drivers (previously was running on latest drivers in Compute mode), I need to try reinstalling them...

[Branko]

Could be just incompatibility with drievrs or windows, then, as miner is not updated for a long time

[coin4addict]

I like this miner. I just found out about this miner because of cognitio. Too bad the developer seems to be very busy to continue developing this miner. I hope someone will step-in to continue his work.

For those of you having a problem when the miner is reconnecting to developer's pool, I found a work around. Create a batch file that will launch the miner. Though 10 reconnection to developers' pool is pretty long, it will take roughly 30 minutes before the miner restart, but on the brighter side at least you don't have to worry about your miner being idle for a couple of hours while you are sleeping or away.

:start
prospector -c config.toml
timeout 3
goto start

[4ward]

looks like the Dev is back in the game

new release: https://github.com/semtexzv/Prospector/releases

[Sara93]

I found out about this miner because I was looking for something that can mining the skunkash algorithm
When I tried to load the gigub port sgminer, I received a 404 error. During further searches, I found a Prospector. This is the only miner for the skunhash algorithm on the AMD GPU. Very handy miner with intuitive settings. I would be happy if the developer continues to develop his own miner.

[john1010]

Is there anyone here still using this multi-coin gpu miner? There's a lot of mining program now offered in mining section, but we need to see who is amongst the best offer, specially in mining fee, transparency and effectiveness of the miner.

[btc00]

show please best cfg for skunk. tnx

[alucard20724]

Just to let you guys know, I'm back  & working on a totally new rewrite of the miner utilizing more efficient architecture
with the goal of supporting OpenCL + Cuda, and WebAssembly based cpu miner for the web in single codebase.

and 5700 support?
