got a stupid question, this algo is more core or memory intensive ?

got a stupid question, this algo is more core or memory intensive ?

On an AES CPU, it's a joke, it does almost nothing.

On a GPU, it's less memory aggressive. Core aggressivity is the same as Monero v8, but with more, smaller steps. It's very like 1/8 of a Monero round, and it runs ~8x faster.
On AES CPU, the factor is easily x10 or x20

Very very sorry that you do not make Nvidia GPU version. You hope that when you all do decide to do it?

Happy New 2019 Year All miners!

[JCE-Miner]

thanks, you too!

nVidia: i know now i won't have time to even experiment it, and xmrig went so good that i don't think i could beat it, so i prefer just skip. also nVidia mining on Cryptonight is quite rare.

hi

any update on thin in the linux version

    N=20 Cryptolight-Turtle v2

thank you

[JCE-Miner]

I expected to get a masari or stellite test pool to go direct to version n with more forks, but i still haven't found any. so that's fine i'll make a Linux m today.

Do you plan add the webchain algorithm?

[JCE-Miner]

very unlikely, and same for hycon. those forks are rather netcode forks more than algo forks, and i probably won't have time to do the needed netcode refactoring, for such obscure coins. if their algo were cpu friendly i would be more motivated, but that's not the case
the cpu mining is possible with the official xmrig forks, and gpu on recent Srb

Hi all and wish u a happy new year.

dindnt update miners for some time and now have problems with setting up latest ver. of jce gpu miner 033b15 on my rigs(last ver. that i use is 033b6 and it works fine).

Problem is when i try to use gpu configuration file settings from 033b6 ver. to newest version 033b15 miner crashes(says low diff share and then crashes), but when i use auto settings it works in 033b15 it works fine.

Can someone please help and point out what am i doing wrong(amd 970 chipset-no igpu platform), these r my settings from configuration gpu file and start.bat(4*rx580 4gb and 1*rx580 8gb)

also have the same problem on my other rig that is with vega 64 and rx570 on intel based platform with igpu.


tnx for answers and help

[JCE-Miner]

you use gpu 0 in your manual config, and you have an Intel igp on your second rig.
In JCE Intel gpu/igp are gpu 0, so just shift your indexes by one and that should fix.

note the list of gpu and their indexes ate listed at startup, in green, in such case, this is the very first thing to check.

the autoconfig skips the intel gpu by default, hence why it works.

otherwise, i advise you run as auto, note the config it generates, and use it as a base to make your manual config

another tip: add parameter --legacy it may help in case of regression.

[gulagminer]

its not related to igpu problem because same problem appears on amd 970 chipset(no igpu platform), so its something else

the post above configurations is from non igpu platform, also tried on intel mining rig by shifting indexes(first thing i tried) no working, says something thsat it cant recognize gpu at highest index(3)

--legacy doesnt help on either igpu and non igpu platform

Hi all and wish u a happy new year.

dindnt update miners for some time and now have problems with setting up latest ver. of jce gpu miner 033b15 on my rigs(last ver. that i use is 033b6 and it works fine).

Problem is when i try to use gpu configuration file settings from 033b6 ver. to newest version 033b15 miner crashes(says low diff share and then crashes), but when i use auto settings it works in 033b15 it works fine.

on both my platforms(one is igpu other is non igpu) it says the same thing, low diffuculty share found, not accepted by pool, please use correct algo......BUT im using correct algo - 15 for GRAFT, also tried leaving 0 for auto recognition, same problem. And this problem is only here when using custom config for gpu, when set to auto no problem.

please if someone can copy/paste their custom thred config for rx470/480/570/580/vega 64 for cn v8 algo(monero/graft), and also the last few command lines in start.bat so i can compare.



EDIT: located the problem, something is wrong with my worksize settings(cannot use older worksize settings 944 for 4gb rx580., and 1680 for 8gb ver.)



This is auto settings and it works....

Would appriciate if someone can post config for rx470/480/570/580/vega 64 for cn v8 algo(monero/graft)

[UnclWish]

JCE, didn't you thought about making ethereum miner? About a week it's more profitable than any cn algo on 470/480/570/580 cards...

[JCE-Miner]

Hoo, i've spent some time to try to reproduce the bug, but fine you figured it out.
Yeah i reworked a lot my memory model in the recent versions, that's very normal the good mem config got different.

The bad share come from memory overflow, i guess your GPU returns zeros and a zero share has an infinite value (while completely invalid) so it gets proposed, and rejected.
When the 1st share is rejected, i display a help message about the config, since it's a very common problem.

Eth miner: i would compete with very very good opponents here, including Claymore Dual, and i would enter the game so late that i don't think i could get any non-symbolic amount of users. Not saying i just don't have time to work on a third miner, after CN cpu and CN gpu.
Claymore did because he's 1) very good 2) entered the competition first, more or less.

I expected to get a masari or stellite test pool to go direct to version n with more forks, but i still haven't found any. so that's fine i'll make a Linux m today.

Happy new year !

Here comes the stellite test pool:

I'm really hoping for this to get nvidia compatibility, that would be awesome. Great software and nice updates
