[ANN] sph-sgminer: multi-coin multi-algorithm GPU miner | added MaruCoin

[Amph]

when i start the miner with the config for darkcoin for example(or any other algo), it give me the typical "the application has stopped working"

what is your config we need more info to help

the one in the op

Since XPM has 3 miners out now, is it a possible to merge XPM into this miner?

Give me source code of their kernels and I'll see what can be done...

there is also this to add if you want

The nvidia one and the primegpu one are closed source.

I'll check up on the Claymore one if he has the open source for it.

we at diamond coin are researching to choose a asic resistent algo tho which we change our coin hashing

required open source miner
gpu
reduced power heat compared to scrypt
secure
working without troubles on 60sec block time

can someone here as this is a very algo focused thread give ur pro and contra of avaiable algos to make ourchoice easyer and based on a algo insider knowlegde

we did think x11 would be good but it would be great to hear opinions and alternative solutions to be shortterm asic resistent

(goal is to be at least 12 more months asic resisten)

edit: someone can tell how fugue256 gpu poweruseage and temp are? the high hashrate should make it secure and suiteable for 60sec blocks or? and onky one coin use it so noone would invext into asic design?

edit2:

i think x11 groestl and fugue are the 3 algo we choose from

somehow ./configure does not like both of my systems. on one rig it complains about missing path (but it is set) and on the other (where i m running nan-miner and cgminer) it is telling something like "no open CL"

is anyone able to give me an advice?

You can try ./autogen.sh before ./configure

This is just VTC with a fixed nfactor of 6, it is already mineable with the zuikkis kernel .. just set --nfactor 6

Its probably not really worth the hassle adding it in...

running latest SPH-SGMINER .98 version for dark coin & getting no monitor.

rebuild so many times with updated ADL SDL .h files.

290 & 290X GPUs

when using sgminer 4.1.0 (in scrypt), no issues with hardware monitoring, temp, fan.

did you run:

autoreconf -fvi
./configure CFLAGS="-O2 whatever you depend on"
make

??

I also Ran test cmd
aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-getclocks && aticonfig --adapter=1 --od-gettemperature
This confirms hardware is working.


Used this

./autogen.sh
./configure --enable-opencl --disable-adl
make
make install


Also tried...
./autogen.sh
./configure CFLAGS="-O3" --enable-opencl --enable-adl
make
make install

Not CFLAGS="-O3 ...."

CFLAGS="-O2 ..." !!!!

Pls try exactly this, without anything more or less.

This all is only working if you copied the ADL-Header files from your ADL-Download into sgminer/ADL_SDK (Build-Directory).

then in your build-directory run:

autoreconf -fvi
./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native"
make


that's it.

Tried
autoreconf -fvi
./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native"
make

deleted sph-sgminer folder

Yesterday I did another fresh pull using git.
updated ADL_SDK .h files into include folder.
autoreconf -fvi
./configure CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native"
make


same result, btw, it still showed .98 version, I thought their is a version update?

Maybe someone will add support for Aiden coin? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=558414.0
Its supposed to be scrypt with nfactor 6, but the sgminer build they offer doesn't work for me on 5850 and 6970
And my attempts to use it badman builds are unsuccessful

PS:
-k zuikkis --nfactor 6
doesn't work, maybe i'm missing something? It seems there are hundreds of sgminer builds and all use slightly different syntax and/or features

-k groestlcoin give me reject on supernova pool

[ocminer]

-k groestlcoin give me reject on supernova pool

on myrgroestl or on groestl ? :-)

I've developed both stratum's with sgminer .. so it should work if you use the correct kernel for the correct pool.

Myriad-Groestl is different from Groestl

(Myr-Groestl is Groestl->Sha while Groestl is only Groestl)

sgminer.exe stopped working and no bin file is produced.
Tried to put the right bin file but same problem (bin from same command with 4.1.153)
 The only version that i found to work is compiled from Veox github (4.1.153 https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=17533.0 ), but some library is missing so the static part of the screen and hotkeys are not working

I'll look into it when i get home.
There have been a number of changes made since I last checked to make sure nfactor still worked

Also note if you are using the newest version you will need to set --difficulty-multiplier at a setting that works for the pool (See OP for details)

[Amph]

i'm talking about groestlcoin , so not myriad


same problem even with --difficulty-multiplier 0.0039062500, share is above target

Did you try 1 and 256?

[AlexGR]

1. Suppose I want to mine x11 only if diff is <500 because 600-700-800 is not profitable for my setup, is there something in the code that I can tweak with an if-then-else to do it? (ideally it could be integrated into sgminer?)

2. Can somebody with a 79xx / R9 test their hashrate if they use a #pragma unroll 1 before the fourth and eighth "for i" loops for the dark kernel? (seperate tests). For 5830 I get small speed gains by disabling loop unrolling. Instructions here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=556277.msg6089358#msg6089358

How much do they lose?

hmm i have definitely broke the nfactor support somehow
looking into it now
