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

[boubou]

1 entire day to try to make it worked on 2 Pimp rigg.

It started to mine, then after a few seconds it crashes and I have Xorg at 100% cpu. I tryed to slow down my overcloccking without success.
It did not show any dead or sick card, it (at best) freeze, or crash

It's not possible that the poolmanager make it crah?

[conf]

whats the best set for one 7970?
thx in advance

[restless]

For r9-290 i found -w 128 --thread-concurrency 20480 as best - 3.3MH

Through reverse engineering I have extracted the modified kernel source code. http://pastebin.com/XxLpewZH

Tips are appreciated.

I should also mention that changes to sgminer might be needed to accomodate this new kernel. I don't have any plans to do it.

no need to worry about reverse engi it atm, but your work is appreciated. just use pool gaurd.
to the person who made this updated kernal, thanks but we pay enough in fees with pools and transfers.

I have already reversed it , I posted the kernel with the supposed speed improvements. http://pastebin.com/XxLpewZH

But it might not work without making sgminer compatible !

Replaced darkcoin.cl with yours posted, no speed increase in sph-sgminer.

You have to delete the .bin files and try again.

Didn't work for me either

I replaced the contents of darkcoin.cl with what was linked. I deleted all .bin files besides the one I use to launch sgminer. Using sgminer 4.1.0-96-g983e.

Miner wouldn't even start for me so I'm probably doing something wrong...

As I mentioned this before, it is possible it doesn't work without modifying sgminer to work with it. Strange though, a user claimed it compiled the kernel for him.

Was 6.4, while 2 * 280x 4.2. But I rented betarigs 3 mh / s up does not see. Does anyone have any idea?

Verified Higher hashrate on 3 pools I use regularly.

Best increase was on my 270x Rig: 1450 to 1990 hashrate . So 270x(5) rig went from roughly 7Mhash to 10Mhash.  Temps up just a few degrees, very negligible. Power up only 30 Watts on Kill-A-Watt to total 570 Watts on a 5 270x GPU Rig.  Love the x11 mining for the summer so far.

Tried newer upload and I do indeed get temps and fan speed back in SgMiner.
CGMiner seems to work well also.  Using Windows 8.1.


A couple of API errors every so often, but has been running nonstop overnight.

Seems legit so far, hope this helps someone.

I've obtained the kernel through reverse engineering, someone must take a look at the kernel and tell us if it brings any actual speed improvements.

Link on previous page.

Did you get it running with just replacing the darkcoin kernel ? I cant get it running, and i have no idea how to modify sgminer to get it done.

i can confirm 42% real PROFIT boost

I also rented betarigs with the new miner.  Sync pool 6 mh/s instead of 3 mh/s looks. Hiring in the pool before drk 6 mh/s saw. Is incompatible with the sync?

@OP

your miner sir, definitely WORKS. Thank you, 2% well deserved.

Yes, I'm looking for solutions.

Would you mind posting your 270x settings? I am getting 1850-1900 but 1990 is great. Thanks!!!

[ajareselde]

every old card i have freezes with this miner, 57xx, and 58xx series.
fix?

good job, but as i already promised the developer of sgminer, the code will be released early next week, so you just got yourself a few days with the kernel.

[girino]

As I mentioned this before, it is possible it doesn't work without modifying sgminer to work with it. Strange though, a user claimed it compiled the kernel for him.

This opencl code has 11 kernels instead of just one as in regular sgminer. The speed improvement comes from better use of SIMD by executing shorter kernels instead of a single long one. There's some memory overhead because of it, but it's largelly compensated by the speed improvement.

[kopam]

Can ANY ONE confirm that there are no viruses etc in this miner ?

How can i make this work with conf file and not bat file ?
And btw if you dont fix the missing temps of the cards, this would be a no go ... too risky

Download the mingw version.

All temps / fans working my my end.

mingw ? what does that mean ? Is this still for windows ?
