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

[axiong]

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

Anyone have hash rate results for a 7770 card?

Im have 500 khash

Code:

-w 256 -g 1 -i 200

It's much slower, than my CPU.

I'm trying to mine frozen w/ a 5850, smelter crashes almost immediately. Is this a compatible card?

5850 is supported. Try --debug switch, debug output can give an idea what's wrong.

Just in case, the list of currently supported GPUs:

Code:

        const char *arrDevices[] =
        {
                "Cypress", // 5830, 5850, 5870
                "Cayman", // Radeon HD 6900:  Radeon HD 6950 and Radeon HD 6970
                "Barts", // HD 6850 HD 6870
                "Turks", // HD 6570 and HD 6670, 7510, 7570, 7670
                "Juniper", // 6770 and 6750, 5750, 5770
                "Tahiti", // 7870, 7950, 7970
                "Pitcairn", // 7850, 7870
                "Capeverde", // 7730, 7750, 7770
                "Bonaire", // 7790
                0
        };

You can add 5770 into you list. I tested it, and it works great. I get 1.4 MH/s on a 5770!

My short term plans are:
- buy new GPU

Done, finally I'm returning to the project, expect open-source version really soon now.

Please make version, compatible with PRT (Particle Coin) & pools... We really need R2xx support too, please!

It would be great, if you add anime algo (modified quark algo) support to your project.

What video card did you end up getting.
With the open source there should be nvida support if someone codes it in?

[dE_logics]

I seriously doubt a single GPU can can compute 9 rounds of hashing at a time.

I mean, if you got a single algo, yeah, I get it, but 9 chained? I doubt.

Smolen, I don't mind if you want to increase share to 25%. Hope to see R9 2XX (290X) support in the coming one. Please PM me I don't mind testing.

Great! Since everyone else is sending you wishlish items, I thought I'd add stratum support. Would love to get this on to a pool. 1.5Mh/s on a 5770 is a good start.

Thanks for all your hard work!

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).

Download link:https://mega.co.nz/#!QMMEFBYY!AgH4OGrKaRHkRjiVfVXXzxBHbTIlgdD5o3ak2VFuU78

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

Let me just say that I, resent, having a permanent relationship with the producer of a tool I use.

This is an obsolete release model.

Consider this the research phase. Followed by the release phase.

I have no problem donating and even contributing to a project.

Many peoples haved video cards  r9 290x and would be grateful for your work!
25% of your profit from our work - it's very good, because we are many!
Awaiting your news!

Hi - Smolen!
Where are you lost, what you have news for us?

Hi Smolen. In you list present card 7790 but my 7790 card not worked correctly. Is there any hope to work in the future?
Or what am I doing wrong?

Im getting 415kh/s with my turks based HD 6720 (laptop.. so shouldnt really be mining)
but working well.. i think..

not familiar with mining.. but this looks ok yeah ??

*edit* what does the I mean in the output ? its changed to 8 now.. seems to increase slowly ??

just one thing.. is their a way to lower the intensity.. its 100% gpu load.. but the bad 100% that freezes pc sometimes.. as oposed to the lower end of 100% that doesnt..  ?

tks heaps

[Justin00]

oic there is -w -g -i when i try those options it says -g and -i unknown options if i put them in the middle.. and if i put optins at the starts it says -w -g -i unknown.. im running version 0.1 from the OP ?

thanks

The 1:4 or 1:8 means how many blocks were solved by the program. However, it isn't a guarantee that the block is yours since it could be an orphan.

Change -i in the .bat to reduce the load on the GPU.

[Justin00]

thanks for that.
I found the newer version 0.3 on page 7 or 8 or something.. and that has the options in it..
only thing is that version wont run. i have a turks card so should be supported plus it works on the first version.
did a debug and it connects just fine but doesnt do anything or report anything wierd except the normal cant find kernel which v0.1 also reported.

[hedgy73]

Does anyone know if 03a.zip is the latest version and if it's still for solo mining and not pool?
