Agilmine - Your REAL Altcoin FPGA miner [Updated! 8/16]

I thought I bricked it,but it is working on old algo.

Some how  the install of  flashpro polarfire did not work.

I will delete it and install it again.

  I think it is not that easy to brick
can the device be recognized by the programmer as showed in the screenshot i sent you? and does the "ping" test work? we can chat offline to figure this out. let me know what i can help

still works on old algo.

when I load flashpro second time it came up  but your screens do not match the screens it shows me.  I will  be busy until  six  or 7 pm est time but after 7pm eastern time we can talk on the phone.  I will email a phone number to you.

sure thing, we will figure it out. Thanks!

Okay after some struggle I got it set up with op's help  and running on this pool


http://corpopool.com/

http://xdagger.corpopool.com/



https://xdag.io/

This is more crude and need more development.  op has said he is working on it.

[arm_race]

It was nice talking to you. glad that we have worked out the configuration issue.
yes. xdag miner software is just a hackup version of the PC wallet, eventually our plan to merge them all to an integrated PC/Linux host software, and release for open source.

thanks.

[chup]

So till now it's capable of KeccakC and doubleSHA256. Is mining setup fixed per coin or per algorithm? Not clear because of mentioning patched wallet for xdag.
What is the most complex algo this FPGA capable of?

[philipma1957]

so I earned this overnight


https://explorer.xdag.io/block/RKBRh91Prqtz4Heqc9zt+3UDWws9rhV0

21.8

coins


this says I should earn  20.8 in 24 hours  my hash rate is 501mhs

https://explorer.xdag.io/mining-calculator

and this algo appears to use a lot less power then CREA

maybe 21 watts

while CREA was maybe 30 watts

I need to check meters on this  not sure about it.

on this exchange  xdag  is worth 2 cents

https://bbx.com/#/


I need to see what this continues to do.  since I earned  43 cents in under 12 hours.  

If this earns  86 cents a day  and uses only 21 watts  it could be a good algo.

The exchange  seems okay .

21 watts in power is .5kwatts a day  or 5 cents  if you have 10 power.  

if I continue to earn 86 cents - 5 = 81 cents a day profit better then CREA

Mind you I am mining  directly to a wallet created in the miner and I am not so sure how to run the wallet side of this.

Ie  how do I pull the coins out?

eventually we want to have an integrated cross platform host software that supports all algo, perhaps also supports programming the fpga board?
for now there is still some hacky code there..

we have compiled a list of all potential algo to be supported on this fpga, and the estimated hashrate, we will have that information updated soon.

[philipma1957]

I need to do a video

here is video

Your video will be live at: https://youtu.be/_bet2aRAhvw


it needs time to down load and publish



it does about 501 mhs

you can see it earn 21.8 coins


my meter reads 262 watts  with it mining
my meter read  241  watts  with 12 v dc power removed  so 21 watts for this algo


xdag.exe -m 1 -d 142.44.143.234:777

[philipma1957]

going to try new software today.  I will post back.

Love the progress guys!    I've been actively watching in the corner =)

I may pick one of these up to play with myself eventually...

Very interesting post, i like this story

thank you for sharing

I loaded a new bitstream for keccka

it is up and running on this site

https://www.nlpool.nl/?address=mGnqrkX4tgKQtRVs6eQVWEPbUo5KFnE9EY

It gets easier to add a bitstream as I get used to doing them.


this is for max coin

https://maxcoinproject.org/

nlpool is mining to a max coin wallet  the software package  came that way.

So my thoughts are it is nice gear
bitstreams are not real easy to load but  you can learn to do it.

So to switch from one bitstream to another will take about 5 minutes on a fast pc.

I have a thread ripper 1920x with 32gb ram and a nvme2 ssd for win 10 pro os.

So auto profit switching is not much good with it.
I was doing really good mining xdag  yesterday, but that coins network seems screwy today.

I can not get the xdag explorer to synch

https://explorer.xdag.io/block/RKBRh91Prqtz4Heqc9zt+3UDWws9rhV0


https://explorer.xdag.io


So switching to this new coin was a welcome break.

Thought this is a fun item I will want 1 or 2
It is not a get 200 of item.
A lot will depend on bitstream work from the developers of it.

I will run this for a day or 2

and if arm_race has more bitstreams I will test them out.

Thanks. we are running short on those demo boards now, if we are to go for production, we will make another pre-production batch, then i can have some more spare ones for people who are interested in testing 

[arm_race]

good job get it running! yes this Maxcoin is Keccak, the other CREA tested earlier is KeccakC, theoretically all coins based on the two variants can be supported by the host SW.

nlpool is directly converting to btc.  the software package  came that way

[philipma1957]

Yeah  arm_race helped with first algo  a few days back
and we talked on cell phone to do the bitstream flash for second algo

today I was a big boy and loaded the newest bitstream flash all by myself and it is now working fairly well.

I will run it over night.

are you planning to add stratum getwork support to the miner app?   If so, yiimp pols and others would easily be able to be mined to.   This of course is assuming it is presently coded just to speak directly to a wallet.... if i'm not mistaken.

we do have an integrated host software that has Stratum, currently supports keccak, keccakC, pascal, skunk, etc.
the only one unique is xdag, which doesn't support stratus protocol, so that's why currently a hacked up version wallet sw if used instead, eventually we will figure out a way to integrate into the main host sw.

perfect!


When these are a final product;  as long as I have the extra to spend on one;  Ill at least be getting one.


I tried myself doing some research on the xevan algo flowcharts (a few coins I mine are xevan) and I really can't find anything;  and I don't have the patience to sift through the ccminer code to pick out exactly what its doing;  since it seems to have reference to many other algos as a part of itself.... one place online hinted that it would take ~2FPGA's working in unison to be able to do that algo.


Keep up the good work!  The multiple bitstreams already is a good sign!
