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

[Hilux74]

Anyone have hash rate results for a 7770 card?

[renegadepcsolutions]

You know... after having some issues with your program here... as well as an issue that you want to take 1/8th of everyone's work... I decided to pull this apart.

"This program cannot be run in DOS mode"

Really? A DOS program that can't be run in DOS? Silly me...

I deserve a better cracker for my masterpiece, this one even don't know about PE format! Seriously, if you want to hack away 10% royalty, you have to hack GPU code, not only x86 one.

Thought I'd catch your attention with that one.

Nah, I'm not gonna hack your 10% away.

Hell... if you can get one up and running that supports stratum pools... I'll toss you 10 QRK for every 50 QRK that I mine for the next 3 months.

No worries. and I agree, the speed was phenomenal. it would make solo mining easy. lol. I think I'll try dropping the intensity down to likr 3 and work up from there

Not sure if it helps, most probably something went wrong when I compiled OpenCL sources into binary blob. Just in case, what version of drivers do you have installed?

I"m running 12.8

[soulmann]

- make new closed-source release for PTS

Will it be faster then the existed one?

[smolen]

I"m running 12.8

Thank you, It gives a hope that the error is on AMD side I used 13.x to compile the kernel, may be the support for old version is rusted. Well, let's postpone bughunting a bit.

That depends on the exact meaning of the word 'will' If it will be superior to the existing miners, it will not be released so there will be no Smelter for PTS

Hell... if you can get one up and running that supports stratum pools... I'll toss you 10 QRK for every 50 QRK that I mine for the next 3 months.

Quark mining is almost over, if you really want to reward me - wait for the sources and invent better trick around Groestl hash, I'd like to see how this beast can be tamed

[rmhuntley]

I can update my drivers easy enough, and if things don't work, roll back to 12.8. that's not an issue.

TL;DR - just wait
It's not going to help - the problem is most probably caused by drivers on my PC, where I did compile OpenCL sources into binary blobs. The right way to fix it (at least, to try to fix) would be releasing kernel sources and compiling it on your PC, with your drivers. I want to withhold some parts of the kernel (mostly related to copy-protection), to do it I have to do some programming and testing and that is postponed until arrival of new GPU.

[rmhuntley]

No worries. I have no idea how to compile things anyway.

Can we mine any cpu coin with this?

You can mine any CPU coin that uses quark algorithm. i.e. PRT, Offerings, ATOM, FRQ, etc..

Profit estimation per 1 MH/s for Quark and Securecoin:
QRK:1000000*60*60*24*128*0.00000110/16777216/124 = 0.00584 BTC/day
SRC:1000000*60*60*24*5*0.00041263/16777216/1462 = 0.00726 BTC/day

How much accurate is this?

That's from October. Profit is much less now because of increased hash rates on QRK and SRC.

[chowdan]

something is very wrong with your miner   i thought its supposed to take only 12.5% as fee and not all the coins ??
mined a coin where a block is 50k reward. here is what is left

6.1k is version1 posted from OP and v2 is 6.5k

It most likely unable to send the actual amount because it was designed for Quark and not Particle. So you only get the donation amount and not the full amount

How to solve the problem

I'm curious how you are mining through PRT wallet? Shouldnt it display the transaction as a incoming transaction icon and not mining icons?

How many SRC and QRK can we generate at current difficulty with 1MH/sec?

Will average 7QRK or 0.8SRC a day.

Since Smelter doesn't work with pools, it averages out to:
~2 QRK blocks a day.
1 block on SRC every 5 days

I'm down to 3.6 QRK for every block that smelter finds now

I forgot to take into account the 10% royalty..

Anyone have hash rate results for a 7770 card?

Im have 500 khash

Code:

-w 256 -g 1 -i 200

[BitCoinPokerBro]

Can someone make a tutorial for tech illiterate types? I know it's difficult, but surely someone can dumb themselves down for a minute or two to help.

[Drewdy]

Any chance you have a version ready for beta testing that supports the r9-290x cards?  PM me if you do.
Thanks.
