So, Mister FancyIX, I saw you on discord in the MTP / Zcoin chatrooms. Any chance you'd be working on an implementation for AMD hardware? Andrucrypt seems to have hit a wall, Teamred seem too busy with real life stuff... and Zawawa has disappeared, allegedly to deal with greater things. That doesn't leave many AMD devs around to push the boundaries. How are you getting on? Seems like djm is working on sgminer for this MTP thing. I plan to do some improvement based on his work.

Any chance we could see any improvements in the yescrypt area?

Recently, there have been a lot of rumors that Ethereum will move to a new hashing algorithm. Maybe you decide to make a miner under ProgPOW

Hey Fancy -- I've got a semi problem here... Trying to run the new Lyra2Zz algo...
If I run the bat file with your info in it, I get roughly 1.5 mhs per card... If I run the program through my 3rd party program, I end up hashing at about 1/3 of the speed.
The 3rd party app, basically makes bat files on the go as that algo is selected... Here is the info I give the program
-k lyra2zz -o stratum+tcp://[Server]:[Port] -u [User] -p [Password] -w 256 -I 19

Did you copy "bin-kernel" folder to the same folder where "sgminer" sits? And if you use -I 23 it may run faster.

ProgPow seems a good algo to apply gcn dpp instructions. Thanks for the info. Will work on it.

Great work fancyIX, and thank you for keeping sgminer project alive - we (PiMP OS) actually funded the multi-algorithm support back in 2012/2013 which brought sgminer up to 5.0. It set the standard for mining, and was used by large farms such as genesismining for a while. They stopped maintaining it, so we are thankful that you are busy working new algorithms in! Keep up the great work, and thanks for your contributions to the open source community as well! We are thankful to have the new hottest coins mineable with your rock solid stability in PiMP OS.

Took a quick look on those two. x21s has one step of lyra2v2, which kind of suitable for applying GCN optimization. I don't like to continue working on lyra2v2 related algorithms because there is a bin file originally from lyclminer. That bin file is fully optimized. Some closed source miners simply copy that file to use it as their own. kind of like IP theft but I am not sure how illegal that is. As to x16rt, seems no lyra2 related steps. Not sure if other steps can be optimized by GCN cross lane instructions.

Miner 5.6.1.3.b5h driver Adrenalin 18.6.1 RX 470 4GB 1100/1900 x22i 3.6 Mhs ethash 26.25 lyra2Zz 1.4 Mhs allium 3.0 Mhs (no change) phi2 2.6 Mhs (no change) lyra2Z 1.4 Mhs (no change) lyra2rev2 22.7 Mhs P.S. On the ethash algorithm on the same cards (in the same settings) Claymore's Dual Miner 12 gives 28.2 Mhs. Good job!

Yeah... Still slower than commercial miners. Since the main purpose of this project is open source, hope people can still get benefit from it.

wow, lots of shuffling in that algo. That's what I like most -- apply GCN cross lane instructions to speed it up.

Recently, a new coin called a Grin has appeared. She has a new hash algorithm, Cuckoo Cycle PoW. Perhaps you would be interested to add it to your miner? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5090427.0
