[Preview] Smelter - GPU miner for WhirlpoolX (Vanillacoin)

[feeleep]

I am using ubuntu

Saucy Salamander, x64?
(I'm on debian, may be there is some way to build universal linux binary, but VM route would be faster)

actually 12.10 x64

Simple build miner and link with all static libraries gcc -static (libc, libstdc++, boost, curl, openssl & e.t.c. ) ... 
(Or build two versions static+dynamic linked)

my 7870 went from 880kh/s to 1.20mh/s with the new version

which flags do everyone use? i use -w128 -g4

Solo or poolmine with the latest version?

Great update!
Got a 32% boost AND a fluid desktop, awesome  

Running at following settings:

I can keep it running at all times with no effect to my work/media experience and that's why I'll keep it running 'till the end of the world
When I want to play something I just pause the miner with Process Explorer and when I'm finished I'll let it to roll again.

Solo or poolmine with the latest version?

It's solo

E: Tested Intensity's effect to performance, short 60 second rounds, so it's not 100% waterproof, but it shows to me that going over about 20-30 doesn't give a considerable boots: (yeah, it's low resolution data but it tells something)

Latest version works great.  Computer remains usable and no freezing so far.  Now we just need QRK price to @$#&ing go up!

Solo only, at least for the foreseeable future

Really, desktop smoothness took more efforts than kernel tweaks, but it well worth it

Let's hope, after the last reward halving traders can trade with no fear for big influx of freshly minted coins

Gonna give this a try later today, haven't mined QRK in a while.

I know many examples of commercial software with a closed-source for Linux, which does not interfere with licensing restrictions GPL. Such as Autodesk Maya.

Problem: I run the miner on desktop PC, it opens and then close the miner after 5 secs. No mining at all and no error message, it just quit back to cmd prompt

They have armies of lawyers, I'd better be paranoid

Most probably your GPU is not supported. Sorry, no efforts were put into UI, error diagnostics and such things. Well, that's preview and I hope to improve my miner in the future.

on my notebook with ATI 5870 it does work at 1,20 MH/s but on my desktop with ATI 5970 it doesnt

Oops, there is a problem. Seems that Hemlock (59xx) support is missing from my ATI SDK. If you mine any other coins with 5970 with cgminer or reaper, what are the names of .bin files in miner directory? If they are named Cypress_something.bin there is a hope to resolve the issue without too much efforts.

Yes, on this weekends. Actually, it's ready, but I want to push some changes into release.

Or he could just stop being greedy and release a modified version of cgminer like YaCoin does so you can compile it yourself.

[mattle74]

So my GPU's are mining at 5.2 Mh/s. How often should I find a block at that rate on average?

any news on the fixed miner version for ATI 5970?
