[ANN][BLC] Blakecoin Blake-256 for GPU/FPGA With Merged Mined Pools Stable Net

[boymok]

Hey bluedragon747 , could you please put the source code + binary for the cg miner on your website , mega is a site i cannot download from , i was able to hit a few blocks with reaper on a saphire 7970
was using settings here

worksize 128
aggression 31
threads_per_gpu 2
sharethreads 1
lookup_gap 2
vectors 1
gpu_thread_concurrency 24576
engine overclocked stable around 1175
memory underclocked
no voltage adjustments
about 2.6 ghs

i hit 6 blocks in about a 22 hour run.
if cg miner is up would like to give it a whirl.

until I have confirmed it either working solo and finding blocks or submitting shares to the pool it will not be on the site sorry
atm all i get with the cgminer -blake256 is "diff1 ff = invalid" A:0 R:0  HW:2960  which is a lot of errors is the miner Confirmed working?

I have the proxy working now so I am not going to do any debuging on the cgminer port until I have some free time

I am happy that melnikalex has made the port of cgminer but I do think it has a bug atm please keep working on it I think the bug is in the difficulty submission function as it never seems to assert true and submit the hash?

I could put it on another file host so you can test it too?

not given it a long test solo so it might work against the wallet but atm working quite hard to get the pool done before end of weekend
 

This works good for me, no hw errors and 2.040G/s (gigabyte 7950)

Sweeeeeeeeeeeet!!!

I just compile the GPU miner and used boymok's settings but intensity at 16.  I found a block within a few minutes (lucky I guess) with no HW errors ...

still not working here with those settings on both my 5 and 6 series cards on both win 7 x64 and x86  

no idea why its not working have both cgminer and bfgminer on the same systems  

I need some sleep before I do anymore testing its been a very long day

edit:
ok I used the cgminer.conf and used some of the bits from blake256.conf and it is now up and is working  

still not sure why the commands did not work from before via command line  

anyways on website

16 for intensity was too high creating issues on long runs 14 seems to work better

8.7 MH on i5 2500k with the cpu miner
40 MH on a 560ti with melnikalex's miner i get 84 MH with sha

interesting first time I have seen a Nvidia card benchmark did reaper run on the 560ti?

[Eli0t]

dont like reaper much. it was fiddly to set up and crashed alot last time i used it

So does CGMiner stratum proxy work well with the pool? Do you suggest cgminer over reaper?

[BombaUcigasa]

HD5850 default stock clocks: 890 Mhash/s
HD5850 litecoin optimized: 1205 Mhash/s

Intensity caps at 16. If you put 17+ it displays 23 but the speed will be less than half.

[akabane]

Great work on porting cgminer !
I confirm it is working : already found 2 blocks with it.

[DimaziK]

the coin exchanges where that?

[melnikalex]

for me intensities over 9 for cgminer lead to stop mining withing a few hours, it show same speed for gpu, but overall average 5s speed is dropped significally.

Maybe I should switch to CGminer, I'm getting 1.105 GH/s on Reaper with a HD 5870, OC'd core=900 and mem=1300.

the coin exchanges where that?

Send a support ticket to Cryptsy to vote for them to put it on the market. Also, vote on the Cryptsy poll they have on this forum to vote it in. Just bug Cryptsy in general, as they usually adopt more coins than any other market.

Are you getting less stales with CGminer than Reaper?

[Vorksholk]

Wow, difficulty is flying; 6200 and counting!

[SpeedDemon13]

Wow, difficulty is flying; 6200 and counting!

It fluctuates, sometime it's in 3000's and all the way 6000's.

True, hour retargets lead it to fluctuate a fair amount while the coin is young, but network hashrate is certainly going up nicely .

[BombaUcigasa]

I keep getting blocks, but none of them ever get accepted. Is everyone using cgminer having all their blocks in?

[akabane]

Yes I got some accepted, but I stopped using cgminer because for the moment I find it less stable that reaper.
I also found that it was hanging my blakecoind daemon when I pointed too many cgminer instances to it (no problem with reaper).

An initial build of the FPGA code for X6500 is now up https://github.com/kramble/FPGA-Blakecoin-Miner/tree/master/experimental/X6500-Basic

The bitstream is at https://www.dropbox.com/s/ean7rbweij40oh1/X6500-Basic-v01-fmax-150MHz.bit

It will require a modified blake algorithm version of either of

https://github.com/TheSeven/Modular-Python-Bitcoin-Miner
https://github.com/fizzisist/x6500-miner

I'll have a go at this (probably the latter as it looks a lot simpler, even though it is depreciated) but my python skills are not awfully great. If anyone's got a blake hash module written in python, it would be very helpful, else I'll just hack in an os.system call to my external midstate and checkblake C code.

And in other news, I'm now getting 800Mash/sec (at around 20 Watts) from a Lancelot board
