i get >20 on a 5830 running at 980/1025 1280x1024

I find it strange that I get 25 Mkey/s on Windows 7, but only 20 Mkey/s on linux. I tried upgrading to the bleeding edge xorg PPA and that made no difference.

use bfgminer -> set intensity to d -> enjoy

Sorry, what does bfgminer have to do with oclvanityminer?

sry wrong thread

[fizzisist]

I finally had a chance to look at the source and apparently the units of the "value" shown are simply BTC/Mkey, but multiplied by 3600, or in code:

Code:

wip->value = (reward * 1000000.0 * 3600.0) / difficulty;

This is not BTC/MKeyHr, this is a meaningless number. More correctly, you could say the units are BTC*s/Mkey*hr. I suggest removing the 3600 and just displaying the value as BTC/Mkey. If the number is too small (too many decimals to be easily readable), change it to BTC/Gkey, since most people are calculating at least a Gkey every minute. If you would like to go one step further, you can show BTC/hr as:

Code:

3600 * rate * reward / difficulty

Where rate is the calculated Mkey/s for your hardware (so vg_output_timing() will have to been called already).

Hi fizzisist,

You're right, it's an entirely arbitrary and not 100% correctly labelled unit.  I just wanted it to display some semi-comparable notion of value.  The idea was to create something along the lines of kilowatt-hours, whereas the proper unit would be megajoules, but the power company doesn't publish their electricity rates per megajoule.

Anyway, I'll take your patch on GitHub to convert the display unit to GKeys.  Thanks!

Great! I completely understood where you were coming from once I switched it to BTC/Mkey and all the values displayed as 0.000000! BTC/Gkey is definitely better than BTC/Mkey. BTC/MkeyHr isn't that confusing (bitcoindaddy figured it out above), but it's unclear enough.

I'm more happy to see the "Total value" line, especially when there are a lot of patterns available from a single public key, like there are right now! Thanks for pulling that in!

Code:

C:\Users\...\vanitygen-0.22-win>oclvanityminer -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com/ -a 1N#########################k
Get work request failed: SSL connect error

Oclvanitygen uses libcurl, and unfortunately it won't read your proxy settings for MSIE or Firefox.  If you need to set a proxy, you can set the http_proxy or HTTPS_PROXY environment variables.  For example:

Code:

H:\>set HTTPS_PROXY="http://172.16.0.1:8080/"
H:\>oclvanityminer -u https://vanitypool.appspot.com -a 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

thanks worked perfectly.
Is it possible to run two devices at once or can I only do this by opening oclvanityminer twice?
and how can I select a particular pattern to mine?

I neglected to mention that these two figures are from the SAME MACHINE - dual booted between windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04. So, same video card, same motherboard, etc.

thats simple, ati drivers for linux are same as winblows; crap, on linux even alot more!
try upgrade to the latest fglrx and picking the right SDK, good luck

On linux:
libcurl4-openssl-dev                   7.22.0-3ubuntu4
openssl                                1.0.1-4ubuntu5.5

On windows - I think the executable is statically linked with SSL? It's the latest version of oclvanityminer64

I just found this, and I must say, it's awesome! Getting ~30Mkey/s on my 7970 @ 1150/1485.

on 7970:
(seems it is finding matches, but disregarding due to mismatch?

Code:

CPU hash: 6707a76e848f5e9368c2d9d9ec6d60880df44891
GPU hash: 020b0bda39a9bbb2eeddd194a8be20934835dff6
Found delta: 94027 Start delta: 1

When you get the CPU hash/GPU hash mismatch, it means the OpenCL device is producing incorrect results.  I have not had a chance to test it on an AMD 7XXX series GCN card yet, but others have reported that it works.  Try running it with -V on that card for a little while and see what you get.  Since it's producing incorrect results, the performance numbers may or may not mean anything.

Looks like I spoke too soon, cuz I'm actually getting this this error on my 7970, with 12.8 drivers. I tried a few different flag options, but nothing really worked.

Well I only get 9Mkey/s instead of 30, but the -S option produces valid results.

Still not working with the newer 12.10 drivers. Is this a problem with the program? If oclvanitygen produces invalid results, i'm assuming oclvanityminer will be the same?

probably just usual ATI crap driver, hopefully it will get fixed or there will be a workaround.

But I've heard of other using 5xxx cards, and it works fine. This just seems to be an issue with the 7xxx cards. Like I said, the -S option works fine, but at 1/3 of the speed.

and thats what ive said, the OpenCL driver is broken for 7*** cards.

Why does it work for BTC, scrypt, and everything else?

either its a bug in the CL from the miner or its a bug in ati drivers with specific parameters (as for you) which is more likely.

I tried an older driver from March of 2012, I'm guessing it was 12.4. I also tried uninstalling the newest OCL runtime that came with the driver, and installing SDK 2.6. No change in either case. It runs fine with the -S option, but at about 1/4 to 1/3 of the speed.

Not even if you had all the computing power on the planet...

How did you loose it? If you accidentally deleted or formatted it there's still a chance you can recover it.
