SPH-SGMINER

GPU miner for DarkCoin, QubitCoin, MyriadCoin, Quark, Fuguecoin, INKcoin, AnimeCoin, GroestlCoin, Sifcoin, Twecoin and MaruCoin

This project is a GPU miner for cryptocurrencies using combinations of hashing algorithms from sphlib library. It's based on popular sgminer. Currently you can mine DarkCoin, QubitCoin, MyriadCoin (groestl), Quark (clones too), Fuguecoin, INKcoin, AnimeCoin, GroestlCoin, Sifcoin, Twecoin and MaruCoin with this miner. Support for more coins based on hash functions from sphlib (blake bmw cubehash echo fugue groestl hamsi jh keccak luffa shavite simd skein) will be added in the future.

Performance (on R9 290):

• DRK ~2.5 MH/s
• Q2C ~5 MH/s
• QRK ~2.1 MH/s
• MYR ~10 MH/s
• FC ~145 MH/s
• INK ~45 MH/s
• ANI ~1.8 MH/s
• GRS ~5.5 MH/s
• SIC ~4.5 MH/s
• TWE ~11 MH/s
• MARU ~ 1.8 MH/s

Building on Linux:

Code:

./autogen.sh
./configure
make

You need a couple of dependencies beforehand. When in doubt, see README.

Code:

GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 ./sgminer -k qubitcoin -o <host>:<port> -u <user> -p <password> -I 16 -g 4 -w 128

Example usage - Quark and clones:

Code:

GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 ./sgminer -k marucoin -o <host>:<port> -u <user> -p <password> -I 18 -g 4 -w 128

Without given -k argument value it defaults to scrypt kernel! If you have problems, read the DarkCoin thread from page 100, it contains a lot of information and solutions to common problems.

Important! A new option was added: --difficulty-multiplier. It allows to set stratum difficulty multiplier. For QubitCoin, Quark and Animecoin it will be usually 256. For Groestlcoin, Fuguecoin and Twecoin it will be usually 0.0039062500 (1/256). Default value is 1.0. If you have "share above target" errors then set it to 256. If difficulty required by pool is strangely large, set it to 0.0039062500 (1/256). Other values are unlikely to be used. Hopefully this will fix all remaining stratum problems.

Common problems and solutions:

• Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram) - execute miner from the directory where "kernel" directory is present
• HW errors - select correct mining algorithm with -k option
• still does not work - update Catalyst drivers to version 13.12

Amazon spot price for cheapest per core 8 virtual core: $0.07/hr
Mining revenue with updated miner and current price/difficulty and hashrate on amazon server: ~$0.045/hr

Thought that was interesting :-D

[thisisnotmyltcusername]

weird, I only get hardware errors once compiled on xubuntu 13.10, tried with w 128 or 256, -I with 8 / 13 / 18, -g 1 or 2, it just doesn't give a f*ck, all HW errors with my r9 280x...
(while the older darkcoin sgminer runs fine)

invalid nonce count : HW error
rejected blabla (share is above target)

I used gpu max alloc / gpu sync objects exports as usual, no luck...

[traderman]

Can you please post a compiled windows exe?

Did you give -k darkcoin option? Without this option miner defaults to scrypt.

Can you please post a compiled windows exe?

Can you please read my opening post carefully?

Just made it.. will upload in a moment

I gave this a try on my ubuntu with 5770 card and it won't go beyond
"Kernel darkcoin is experimental"

Oh, and that was after removing all the options

BUT WAIT, it just started up after about 3 minutes on a pause!

Ok, it must be measuring in mh/s?  'cause i get  Diff 0.019/0.008 on accepteds

It just stops there  Can I help with more info?  let me know

During the first execution it compiles the OpenCL kernel, it may take a while. If CPU usage is high during this time, everything is OK and it shall run after a minute or so (depends on how fast your CPU is). If not, try upgrading drivers, I use version 13.12.

New miner compiled for windows, all credit goes to phm. Confirmed 20+% Boost on my 5970. Thank you very much

thx for this.

just noting that I received an error on my windows 8 system;

[20:10:30] Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram)
[20:10:30] :79:10: fatal error: 'blake.cl' file not found

in the folder your running sg miner from do you have a subfolder "kernel" with blake.cl (and all the rest of the CL in it?) Download the windows version i just posted and see if it helps

[cad_cdn]

thx

I do have that folder, blake.cl and several other depenedcies;
I ran the download provided prior, and this was the result as I posted

try making the bat file inside the sgminer folder and run from there

[SeriousCoins14]

sry guys I'm tired tonight.. once again the new SG miner for windows..

https://mega.co.nz/#!j15w3CBC!oqvpvbw0DenM0KqGxG4iJ-w7bxCUrD89tiqH7frxVGM

disregard links in the quotes.. I accidentally double zipped it making the file size too large.. Enjoy

[Pustul]

Thanks for the win build! Hashrate has increased but I don't have any control over my gpus with this version, no temps are displayed and no settings change.

here is my windows build of it https://mega.co.nz/#!2JYXHDpD!OOiFOdsh5rnvk1zhz5niXENNzbgnw1UXwmFcicBzevI i know the adl works on this version

About 8% speed increase on 270x , also some commands like -g 2 , must be written with --lookup-gap 2 in order to work, but there is not big impact if those commands are not entered in a scrypt
