[ANN] New Primecoin Pool + GPU Miner

[madMAx510510]

gj man, i see a little problem, i connected 6 rigs and ur pool shows me only 2 of them - can u check is everythink allright?

Just checked, you are using the same name for multiple machines! All the rigs are there but you can't see them if they all have the same name.

ok thank u i allready changed names:) 

[madMAx510510]

Hi,

Thank you, finally one for Linux!! I was lazy to try out other's XPM miners as all of my rigs are Linux.
Just downloaded Linux version and testing with a 5xR270. Seems working but all the set core and powertune failed.
Does it even support R270? I will test with 7950/7970 later.
The followings are the corresponding error messages.

It looks like ADL doesn't work.
I will test this on my linux machine and fix it if possible, until then you can ignore the errors and set your clocks with some other tool.

270/270X should work as they are GCN, but i don't know how the performance will be.
You should def. try lower sieve primorials with these, like 12 or 11 (see config.txt).

No ammount of overclock change has seemed to get it to stop crashing on startup i had the same error and now that i have lowered the overclock i don't even seem to get that error but its just straight up crashing as soon as it gets work from the server.

 I'm testing it on a rig of 4 sapphires 290x, windows 8, i7 3820 and 14.3 drivers however on my other rig using windows 7 it all seems to work nice and if you actually pay out then this is one hot smoking miner but would love a fix for windows 8 rig if possible brah

Does it show any OpenCL error when crashing?
You need to manually open a CMD window and start the miner from there to see the error. Otherwise the console closes immediately.
EDIT: just to make sure, have you tried to reboot the machine?

Yes i reset the machine many times and i've sent you a screenshot of the console and i can also send you the output if needed but now its not even showing the error its just closing right after it gets work from the server

I'm running a MSI Twin Frozr III HD7970 OC BE @ 1150core/1500mem getting 4.29~4.35 CPD Temp=62C and a Gigabyte HD7850 2GB @ 1150core/1500mem getting 2.08~2.17 CPD Temp=52C.

Nice work on the new pool and nice to have an alternative to ypool.

What will happen to the rewards system once it hits 11 on the Diff?

How does the miner calculates the CPD? ie. 1-ch,2-ch,3-ch,4-ch, etc.....

Nice to know it works on 7850, and pretty good actually. How do you keep that 7970 so cool?

2.) Don't know yet. Keep in mind diff 11 is still easily ~5 times more difficult than 10.9 so it's gonna be a while.

3.) It depends on the cpuload setting: with cpuload=1 it uses 4-ch and with cpuload=2 it uses 3-ch and so on. But still, i'm using a custom formula that has proven itself to be pretty accurate.

There are 2 problems: ADL not working and "error: ProbablePrimeChainTestFast".
The first one is probably win8 related. The second one is either too much OC or some other driver/win8 problem...

Right now i have no time to test/debug win8.
Maybe try 14.3 driver...

yeah this miner does run hotter

I have win7, 13.2 driver and I clocked both mem and core to 1000. 280x. Restart and still same error. I know newer driver should be installed but I got the same software setup on other rigs and it works fine.

Does it crash and stop mining? or shows only one error and keeps going?

It crashes.
Sometimes it has several rows of error: ProbablePrimeChainTestFast 0/4. Like 20 or so. On two other rigs I have pretty much all same except processors are Sempron 145 and this rig has i5. And I use this rig for gaming and stuff also, so maybe there is some kind of other issues.

I will try driver update later.

Cool, great to know the calculation part.

The 7970 has an aftermarket cooler, Arctic Accelero 7970 Extreme and it's in Corsair 400R case also. The 7850 2GB I own runs like a champ and cool. LOL

As of now, these are my stats:
7970: CPD=4.33
7850: CPD=2.24

7850 is using the same sieveprimorial as the 7970. Same temps stills, both cards are in the same ATX case.

Is this miner free or is it a 10% dev fee like others?

[SpeedDemon13]

Pool fee is 10%, so yup, it's the same. At least this miner is the fastest one currently.

[SpeedDemon13]

Hey madMAX, I notice the share values change. How is that calculated? What's the value of 11-ch/higher or is it the same as 10-ch on the pool?

Actually there is something odd: GPU 2: sieve size = 550556388001 (7 bits)
This value is wrong and it's no wonder the miner crashes. I'm gonna have to investigate how this can happen...
It should be: GPU 2: sieve size = 55050240 (26 bits)

will work on catalyst 13.12?
