We have a community voting on our discord channel. Everybody interested please take a look at https://alloyproject.org/discord and take part in it.

This project sound promising and I will surely take a look at this coin.

hmm i was pretty sure its alloy but now i'm a bit confused it might be heavy as well i'll check and confirm.

Thanks... just so we don't create confusion People are kind of surprised when they see their alloy hash rate being so low... algorithm is really heavy, much heavier than heavy haha

Please do, and keep following us because there is more nice news to come

Try first change bfactor to 8, and run miner ... If this alone doesn't help try also reducing "threads" and "blocks"... once you can mine, play with "threads" and "blocks" settings to achieve best hash rate...

Once you succeed can you please share with us how much hash rate do you get per GPU for 560, 570, 480 and 1080 mining Alloy ... we would like to put this informations together, so all newcomers can get basic info about expected hash rate with particular GPU...

Seems to work, tnx.
Rates:
560 2 Gb - 150
560 4 Gb - 160
380 4 Gb - 265
480 8 Gb - 300
570 4 Gb - 260 to 270
580 4 Gb - 270 to 290
1080 8 Gb - 270

Glad to hear it works now... I believe your hash rates can be improved a bit. Are you using double threads with AMD cards, if not there is some margin of improvement. You should also play with intensity setting and overclock to get best hash rate.
With NVIDIA you can play with "threads" setting, and overclock to get better hash... but I am not sure how much 1080 should give.
Cryptonight algorithms in general needs overclock of memory to get better hash rate, but you can underclock and undervolt core, to reduce power consumption and heat production, with only slight decrease in hash rate.

Tried many times with different algos. Always instantly gives driver crash for all cards.

560 h/s 99% was heavy indeed. i'm checking it
ok so 560 h/s (570 8gb) was my max hashrate in ALLOY algo.

In heavy with the same setup my rates are:
https://imgur.com/a/SQN7XEU
Sapphire 570 8 GB - around 1050 h/s (samsung) -  bios 1-click patch polaris, not OC too much Core 1250, Mem 1950, mV -68 - SRBMiner 1.5.0
Sapphire 570 4 GB - around 712 h/s (elpida - hynix) - bios 1-click patch polaris, same OC settings as above - SRBMiner 1.5.0

Hence, i was remembering correctly. It was 560 h/s on 570 8GB, alloy algo but OC Settings a bit more, meaning Mem was OC at 2050 while on 570 4GB mem was OC at 2000

I don't know why this happens ... but it shouldn't ...

Those are very good hashrates thanks for confirming it being Alloy algo
I will go and try something with rx 580 8gb cards... as they should get atleast 500 + , at the moment its 400 hihi

[LukaL]

Trying something

[Pon13]

oh i forgot, i m using amd blockchain drivers (Aug 23). 

[xugzr272186]

if the wallet support  the solo mining?

[carrotbanhkook]

Multiminer does make mining so much easier!! everything in one place including wallets..
just want to give a shout out to the miners on my pool..

[LukaL]

oh i forgot, i m using amd blockchain drivers (Aug 23). 

Oh yes, I will try those... I stopped using them some time ago when I found out newer drivers gives the same hash, and I needed them for more than 8GPU support...

If you are asking If wallet supports solo mining, the answer is no. You can mine using wallet but it is pool mining...

Well it's true. Just in case - couple of minutes ago tried 2 threads on single 560 - got instant crash and reboot.

I just realised that I have forgotten to mention, when you use double threads in xmr-stak you must reduce intensity... so for example intensity for single thread is 1000, for double threads will be 600 each.... try reducing intensity alot, and if it works increase it step by step untill it is stable....

Of cause I reduced, more then two times less (i.e. was 890, made 2x390). No go. Tried downclock, overclock, reset settings, up power limit, down power limit - big nothing.

hm... that is a dissapointment ... I really don't know why it doesn't work for you, sorry.

i have a few questions....your rig worked for other coins before or is new new? if its new new, check your risers they can be a pain in the arse
how much ram you have?
what cpu?
how many gpus?
what gpus?
are the gpus all in one machine or different machines?
are you on windows?
is vram enabled for the number of your cards?
is framework and visual c++ installed?
what driver?

2 rigs, have been working for ~10 month, 4 & 8 Gb ram, 4 gpus each, core2duo & core2quad, win7, drivers from 22.03.2018, 64 Gb swap, how on earth framework could be related to this problem?

Hm... everything seems ok. I never install framework and visual c++ on AMD mining rigs, and it works perfectly fine. Can you show me your amd.txt file, and also how you want to do double threads in amd.txt ...
