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

[zyebu]

Guys how install it to BAMT? Help please

[Pencha]

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%

I have 40% increase on pool, it's all ok. The guy is taking his 2% i got my 38%, i think its fer, he realy did a good work with this one. He deserved 5% if you ask me  

And get that buy back to tell us why do we have coil whine with this miner 

[Pelk]

Does anyone get it run with 8.1 and cgwatcher ?

Thx Pelk

Hi guys

sling00 from the pimp team here.

If you want to run this miner on pimp, here is how to do it:

Update: The open source version of the modified miner is available via pimpupdate.  So this tutorial is ONLY for the binary miner is as of now unsupported. it still works but is ONLY for the binary miner.

1. use the 64 bit ubuntu build of the miner download it from page 1 of this thread: direct wget link below.

cd ~
wget https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zhfbr8xh6zw0gi0/AAB3vMZ5JQac9tvNbaI6-5pSa/x11-sgminer-linux-64bit-build1.tgz
tar xvf x11-sgminer-linux-64bit-build1.tgz


2. nano /etc/apt/sources.list

it should have the following line:

# firmware
#deb http://debian.cc.lehigh.edu/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

uncomment so it looks like this:

# firmware
deb http://debian.cc.lehigh.edu/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

save the file.  ctrl+x and enter y to save
apt-get update

sudo apt-get -t testing install libc6-dev

once done, the miner will be able to run

then, recomment the line in /etc/apt/sources.list
nano /etc/apt/sources.list
# firmware
#deb http://debian.cc.lehigh.edu/debian/ jessie main contrib non-free

DONT FORGET TO COMMENT THIS BACK OR YOU WILL BREAK YOUR SYSTEM ON apt-get upgrade!

Add the following line to /opt/ifmi/poolmanager.conf, indentation and spacing are very important or you will break poolmanager!
Note: make sure to set the mpath correctly to where you put the sgminer binary!

  9:
    mconfig: X11-Opt
    mopts: --api-listen
    mpath: /root/x11-sgminer-linux-64bit-build1/sgminer
    savepath: /opt/ifmi/cgminer.x11opt.conf

create the /opt/ifmi/cgminer.x11opt.conf from cgminer.x11.conf (cgminer.darkcoin.conf on pre 1.4.2 releases)
cp /opt/ifmi/cgminer.x11.conf /opt/ifmi/cgminer.x11opt.conf

remove or edit the following lines
Remove all pools but one, make sure your syntax is correct and it has no , after its } close bracket
"kernel" : "darkcoin", <- REMOVE no kernel line used with this miner
"thread-concurrency" : "x", <- SET TO 0 or test at your own risk, your old value likely WILL NOT WORK
"gpu-threads" : "1," <- set to 1 or test at your own risk.

CHANGE the worksize line for most cards (this works better on pretty much ALL my cards except the 280x).

"worksize" : "128",
Please stop in #pimp on freenode if you have any questions as i DO NOT check these forums regularly.

[Ninetoe]

i know it hasnt been tested.

but no increase for 5x series cards.

[sandpaper]

r9 270x from 1375 to 1900

[Ninetoe]

how does this work when using a configfile ?

i have 2 pools added and it show my first pool with quota of 4 and the next 2 with quota of 98.

and its mixing my username with the "hidden" pool of hirop2pool.girino.org

[BitRock]

After 20 minutes of testing:

first 7950 from 1.97 Mhs to 2.77 Mhs.
second 7950 from 1.88 Mhs to 2.64 Mhs.
one 280x from 2.22 Mhs to 2.65 Mhs.

So this rig (2x 7950 + 1x 280x) from 6.0 Mhs to 8.0 Mhs.

No settings changed. No temperature changes.

Not bad. Strange that 7950 gets higher Mhs than 280x ?! Maybe can improve a bit more...

Could you share the settings for 7950? Thanks

[Sglasio]

R280x - 3.3-3.4 Mhs gettin!! yey!

[GhostPlayer]

Yep, here too, using CGMiner... will check with know pools and repost back. So far seems an extra 1MH per 280x

 Anyone care to comment what the heck this is in the bat? I never seen it before

export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=50

Muito boa cena Girino, para já promete!

[matauc12]

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.

actually the guy is using 99% of another guys work and releasing it without source with a fee. Until he releases the source, I would actually urge people to do anything to block the fee.

There is 2 very fundamental reasons for that.

1. It's the GNU. You do not use open source software and release another version with a fee and closed source. It's pretty much the perfect example of GNU violation.

2. At this point, it could very well just be the monitoring showing higher hash rates.

[SpeedDemon13]

Strange that the stats aren't shown on the miner. 40% isn't that much more of an improvement versus the miner for the Nvidia 750ti, that miner is free. Nothing wrong with making something for a little work, but make the intentions more transparent on where/how the fee is implemented.

[girino]

Only increase from 6.2MH/s to 6.9MH/s with my 3x 280x.
No temp/fan speed showing.
The 2% pool fucks up listing of pool names in pool config.

Win 7, Catalyst 13.11

Released new version compiled with mingw instead of cygwin. Should show the temperatures now.

Can you tell how install it on BAMT?
Many thanks

Where is source?

On two systems I'm testing this on again I'm getting a tons of these:
Stratum from Pool 0 requested work restart

I do not get this with any other version of sgminer.

[sandpaper]

Pool 0 should be his/her 2% pool fee so I wouldn't worry about that. As long as you are mining on your pool all is good

[goodluck0319]

how do I know which pool are they mining?

what does it mean:

mulitples pool with block change nofiy?

[SpeedDemon13]

Tried to use a sgminer.conf file and it did not take those settings and acted all weird, it even rebooted the system randomly. Does all the config have to be put inside the bat file?

[aleks648]

Can anyone post a full 280x config?  I am struggling to get over 2.3MHs.
