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

[ivanlabrie]

I have not had to do anything extra to get it running on the 7970s but as I mentioned it does seem prone to freezing after some time on any of my systems that have 1 or more 7970s on them.  The only optional flag commands I use are -g 2.

I don't know if it is the XFX vs PowerColour or Windows8 vs Windows7 but the system I have the most trouble with is Windows8 with a single XFX 7970.  Smelter freezes a lot on it but it always starts up fine.  If I start it running before going to work this system will have always frozen at some point before getting back home.  The Windows7 PowerColour system can usually go 8hrs+ but the few times I have tried to let it run 24hrs/day it will freeze at some point.

What brand of 7970 do you have out of interest?

A friend has two msi 7970 ref pcb, older revisions. 925/1375 stock clocks and driver 13.4 with win 8 64.
I can't get it to start and mine. Maybe my conf is wrong?
Can you post your quarkcoin conf and the smelter cmd?
Thanks! I'll tip ya :p

Any chance to add the parameter/argument d like cgminer has to use a specific device?

Hi. When to expect the development of miner? With the growth of the received many users, solo mining there will be no result. Need a miner, working with the pool.

Does this work fine for a HD 5870? Does this work both for solo and pools?

[duuuuude]

nope solo only, which makes it almost worthless now, it was pretty good while the difficulty was low though.

That's kind of sucks. This can be adapted for a pool, if someone wanted to take that challenge on.

Is it  possible to mine with GPU miner on pool?
What pool works with GPU-miner?

SOLO mine works well, but GPU mining on pool doesn't work. If You know something about mining on pool - please write, but we don't need comments like this  - "read page 1 guys".

I finally got rid from the last pieces of GPL'ed code in my own miner and can now release it to the public. This miner is not free, a royalty of 1/8 (12.5%) is deducted from every mined block. (Coinbase transaction have 2 outputs, so I get my fee at exactly the same moment you'll get your coins).

Edit quarkcoin.conf (or Offering.conf, or securecoin.conf) file of your wallet to enable solo-mining, put your own username and password there:
listen=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=8772
server=1

Edit sm.cmd from downloaded archive, put your own username, password and wallet address there:
smelter -o http://127.0.0.1:8772 -u username -p password -a QNiGvoYctyMwzV1ZjNbjhEoKdQVzFKsmVw

This is pre-alpha software, expect all kinds of bugs to be found, don't hesitate to report it here!
NVidia and old/rare AMD cards are not supported. Please, give me some time to iron out bugs

Where is this quarkcoin.conf file located exactly? Searching the computer finds nothing. Nothing in the wallet data folder or the folder that launches the wallet executable.
