[ANN][X11] X11/Darkcoin Gpu Miner - updated to use leaked binaries - even faster

[atp1916]

I am not saying this miner isn't a scam, but give it due process before screaming scam.


Preliminary speaking, it appears to do be doing what it should be doing.  My pool figures are definitely up. I was averaging ~75mhs before, now averaging ~110mhs.  My share val per block went from .06xx to upper .08xx, near .09.

ok, bro
my run.bat file has 2 pools
pool 0 (my)
pool 1 (creator pool)
but after starting miner digs to pool 1 and pool 2 - WTF?

I specify only my pool in the run.bat because the miner is coded internally to switch to girino's pool 2% of the time. In other words, if you keep his pool in your run.bat, you are running 2 sessions for him.  

I have been watching my miners for a good hour now and they switch as expected with 95% of the time being spent on pool 1 (my pool).

What about all those peeps reporting no temperature change?

More optimization, more power usage, no escape from that.
I call scam.

4c higher temp than normal but it is realy hot today. I have 40% more hash power, pool is showing increasing hash rate to. I have no HW errors, no rejected shares.

Only thing i noticed is coil whine on all 8 7950 cards with new miner. (6x DC2, 1x Vapor-X, 1x WF3)

[atp1916]

If a 750Ti can pull 2.x mhs out of 30w.. imagine what kind of optimizations could be had out of AMD cards without raising their power usage past what it is now.

What about R9 290X? Not work for me 

[bestsponsor]

I do not mind 2% to the developer. But its product has many drawbacks:
1) failover mode does not work
2) there is no opportunity to take their farm for rent
3) not possible to control the temperature of the chip
4) fan control does not work
....
7950: at first it was 2,67Mh/s -  now become 2.26Mh/s ??
no problem to donate 2% (I can not pay them, using the command "quotas" in pool management (press "P" in working miner and set quota 9999 or more on you pool),
The problem is that the product is of very poor quality and developer deliberately spoiled it.

280x bat file :
set PATH=%PATH%;./dlls
set TERMINFO=.\dlls\terminfo
sgminer.exe --kernel darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://coinotron.com:3341 -u username -p password -g 2 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --shaders 2048

Does it work with R9 290 and on PIMP?

[anatolikostis]

Does it work with R9 290?

It does

What about R9 290X? Not work for me  

just set -tc-parameter as 20481 (or 20481+n, where n=2048)

for example

@echo off
timeout /t 60
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 80
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=50
set PATH=c:\x11\dlls
set TERMINFO=c:\x11\dlls\terminfo
c:\x11\sgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://your pool:3333 -u your worker -p pass -Q 7 --no-submit-stale -w 256 --thread-concurrency 20481 --lookup-gap 2 -g 1 -I 21

290x=3.8mh (950/1250) about 130w
290=3.5mh (950/1250) about 110w

I specify only my pool in the run.bat because the miner is coded internally to switch to girino's pool 2% of the time. In other words, if you keep his pool in your run.bat, you are running 2 sessions for him.

Well, i`ve created new *.bat file with specified code (only one pool), the miner is already launched again. Lets rock it!  

[ferman]

well done good job. and thanks. ill try it also.

One of my 280x is sick

Lower the core clock and reboot the system.

I am not sure where the diminished returns kick in, but running your ram at higher speeds does appear to have a positive impact:

290s @ 1050/1260 are pulling ~3.661mhs.
290s @ 1050/1375 are pulling ~3.731mhs.

280xs @ 1130/1250 are pulling ~2.88mhs.
280xs @ 1130/1500 are pulling ~3.043mhs.

I would advise people to tweak their ram clocks up for maximum hash.

can anyone with linux or sandbox knownledge please check if there is malware, trojan to steal wallet.dat or script to take a part of the hash power to a specific address?

There is no way to tell this until the source is released. Given the poster said he's "preparing" the source, yet a long time later we have seen nothing, I am beginning to assume that this is a total scam, and actually all anybody's been doing is giving 2% of their fees to the developer.

He's already been threatened with legal action, so he'd better comply with the license the owner of the original software set (basically RELEASE THE SOURCE AND THERE'S NO PROBLEM). I'm sure the community could put together the beginnings a legal defence fund against him. This kind of behaviour is just unacceptable.

For all anybody here knows, this guy's found some kind of 0-day, and is pwning everybody using the miner :-/ Seriously not cool. I don't even dare run it and look at Wireshark.

[coin123123]

any one see actually hash rate increase on pools?
not spikes but stable increase..

i'd guess either it is khs display manipulation or dev taking much more than 2%

[Geen]

It does give a boost. The pool (nicehash.com in my case) reports appropriate hashrate increase. In case you are too concerned about donating your hashrate to the author's cause use CGWatcher with Pool Guard turned on. At lease, its log says that unauthorized pool has been blocked:

thanks good post!

[savale]

running it in PIMP now. I do see an increased reported hashrate, but it seems to be manipulated as I can judge from the last half an hour. Have to look on the long term, but seems like a big joke

[atp1916]

People who are cutting out the 2% dev fee using round-about methods simply shoudn't be allowed to use the software in the first place.

Greedy bastards.

dear dev!

please post source,

the way you posted it we can't surely know it is safe.

if we can be sure that it is really 2% and nothing else, we would be glad to donate it!
