[ANN] [SKC] Skeincoin 0.9.3.1 | Skein-SHA2

[reorder]

New miner doe seem to have lowered the temp a bit but... I have lost probably .5% to 1% hashrate at max settings...

Clocking my 7950 at 1200 and 1800 with +20 nets just under 190MH/s. Previously it was steady at 197MH/s or better with the python implementation.

BUT... I would gladly trade that for NOT HAVING TO MANUALLY RENAME AND CHANGE AMDOCL.DLL EVERY TIME I WANT TO MINE SKC!!!!!!!!!

In other words... this worked perfectly on Win 7 64 GCN drivers. Boom goes da dynamite!

You can simply replace skein.cl file with the one from previous version if it works for you better. As I am not sure what exactly slows it down on GCN (and if it depends on Catalyst version and how exactly if it does), I would rather not implement any dynamic code selection for specific cards in the miner itself.

Getting the same hash rate and temp on my 7970 at 1170MHz.

Getting an instant crash if I try with the older skein.cl with the new executable miner.
Exactly which version of skein.cl is exchangeable with which miner version?

Thanks for the updates and excellent work!!!

Hmm.. Kernel's API did not change between versions so old one should be pluggable to new miner. I will test tomorrow (it is late night in my timezone) and fix if required.

this will be the url for the app.. havent made any changes to the logo yet.. will be the version 1.1 i guess..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skeincoin

its a plug and play i use.. and ive send the details to GielBier and Red Kendra earlier this week.. some suggestions would be cool now the hashrate is up and rising ! oh i thought perhapes we can use #skc on twitter

App will be available once google helps me a bit.. i guess an hour or something

Let me guess. Hashrate to the moon or what? (suggestion. Current hashrate. and difficulty and blocknumber). I could seed you the data from an api. (Current coin cap from openex.pw skc/btc/usd calculation would be nice also I guess.)

github is now back up, I have compared kernels and it appears that it should work, or at least not crash. Maybe you could try running 'setx PYOPENCL_NO_CACHE 1' before the miner in the same console just in case it is pyopencl caching code that crashes?

well i saw a major player doing some damage.. dont know if u ve seen it but screwyoukminer was sky high.. perhapes thats why other lookalike names turned anon option on :p oh and yeah great idea i ll send u a pm

[escobol]

MethMatician, it is kmnier (screwyoukminer is lower). Kminer is one of the first two on pool

Works perfect, big thanks to MethMatician.

[oroqen]

guess it s time for a new pool.. wouldnt want this one to crash now would we

yes yes a thousand times yes.  
what kind of hardware/bandwith is needed for a pool or p2pool?

[surfer43]

****  excessive emoticons convey shock? and plz make windows phone app

[MethMatician]

PhoneGap would be sufficient?

I can confirm that the latest Windows Catalyst crashes trying to compile the 'old' kernel. I have tried some modifications, but could not eliminate the crash. I suggest just sticking to the binary build with its own kernel then, hopefully you can crank up your hps a bit more playing with '-f' and '-w' parameters.

WTB 5K SKC

Hash speed now displayed in GH/S!

[MethMatician]

something weird is going on.. 0.130 GHS but 0 skc and almost a 100% rejects.. who has the same?

[escobol]

I got a lot of rejects, think that pool is under heavy load

strange - I can see you have:

confirmed Balance: 638.58413722
unconfirmed Balance: 111.73230143

share diff changed to keep server load in reasonable frame

Time for another update as it seems.

what is reject reason?

[escobol]

Dontknow, i see poclbm thru ssh, and i got 10% rejects, and its rissing now

[reorder]

Rejects are due to improper target check in the miner.
