[ANN][X11/X13] X11 (Darkcoin)/X13 (Marucoin) miner (based on sph-sgminer)

[SimkoMiner]

I have tried now the latest SGMiner from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/59lvecndm866bzz/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2.zip and getting following results:

280x -> 3,33Mh/s
290 -> 3,73 Mh/s

Config (280x,280x,290):
sgminer --kernel x11mod -o stratum+tcp://useast.blackcoinpool.com:3333 -u UserName.1 -p x -I 15,15,15 -w 128,128,256 --thread-concurrency 8192,8192,25601 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500,1250 --gpu-engine 1090,1090,1000 --gpu-fan 60 --gpu-powertune 20 -g 2,2,4

The pool is showing hashrate accordingly but I'm seeing this error popping up frequently:

Check your pools please. If some of them dead, check pool site. If you can't observe them via browser, problem not in miner.

Pool address is not resolved.

Elun/all: thanks for the great work.

The latest version really helped for my 290 but my 5970 (2 gpu) went from 2*1.687Mh to 2*150Kh which more than lost out the gains on my 290. Is it possible to fix this? Same config, I tried a few tweaks, also running the 5970 at I 19 with no luck.

[SimkoMiner]

Elun: I have now tried previous version of SGMiner from this thread with exactly same config and those "No such host" errors are NOT appearing at all. Also BlackCoinPool is showing hashrate normally so it seems to work. I think there is some bug in the code probably. Could be some issue with BCPool stratum which has maybe some issue with this modified version of SGMiner? Here is the error:

[pepperino84]

nice job..
anyone tested with 6990 / 6970 / 5970 ?

[Bojcha]

5850 no boost - any settings for that?

edit: found it just worksize 128 instead 256

Github source code updated 7hrs ago. Updated binaries for windows:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/59lvecndm866bzz/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2.zip

Version with increased time to SICK state:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/yxgcp6cck0oopd0/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2_2min_SICK.zip

Some info about increased time to SICK state: in code time delta compares with WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME. Original it was 120, it's logically to think that it will be 2 minutes. But in log it shows like 60s. Maybe constant was changed and log output not, or WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME 120 really mean 60s. In increased time SICK version WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME 240 and in log 2 minutes. I will research later 2 or 4 minutes is it.

Sorry for my bad english.

so for this new version do you simply copy the replace the files in your sgminer folder with these new ones?

Hi,
when running several testings and looking at sgminer logs, I noticed something very strange with sgminer :
GPUs are reordered in REVERSE by the miner !
GPU0 is on PCI5
GPU1 is on PCI4
GPU2 is on PCI3
GPU3 is on PCI2
GPU4 is on PCI1
GPU5 is on PCI0

I tried to set "gpu-reorder : false" but it didn't work
I strongly suggest you all to record miner's logs, using

Code:

sgminer $OPTIONS 2>> $LOG

note: this if for linux
then check your logs for

Code:

[14:10:34] [b]Mapping device[/b] 0 to GPU 5 according to Bus Number order
[14:10:34] Mapping device 1 to GPU 4 according to Bus Number order
[14:10:34] Mapping device 2 to GPU 3 according to Bus Number order
[14:10:34] Mapping device 3 to GPU 2 according to Bus Number order
[14:10:34] Mapping device 4 to GPU 1 according to Bus Number order
[14:10:34] Mapping device 5 to GPU 0 according to Bus Number order

Motherboard : ASRock H81ProBTC
OS : ubuntu 14.4

So, since idk when, I thought my Asus R920X was running on a 20% fan speed, but as a matter of facts, it was an SPH TRIX.....

edit:
stranger than weird, in the config file, I had to reorder the shaders/clocks in reverse. but I did not have to reorder FAN settings !

Hi all. Who uses 5850 or 7790(260x) please share options.

[jamesbond700]

What's the difference between sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2.zip in this post, and the one you posted on page 11? The size of the executable is different, but they all both are called b2

Sorry for equal names.
@lasybear  said that version from page 11 based on old version sph-sgminer, and have some issues.
Version from my last post based on newer version sph-sgminer. Better to use version from page 13.
Sorry for my bad english.

Are there linux binaries for your new version elun?

Working perfect on my 7970 this far no crashes

All cards should work if you use worksize 128 if intensity does not work for your card change it at will in your miner.conf file
You can name that file anything you like ( nonono.cat or yes-sir.boot whatever.yes) as long as you make sure to use the proper name with the start batch
The thread concurrency you can leave at "0" if your card does not start at first or leave it out.
Any parameter not put in the startup  or config file will let the program use the normal one used for your card.
So if you do not know what is needed make the batch as simple as possible with only the kernel and poolinfo
example : " sgminer.exe -k x11mod -o mypool.com -u lazy - p x "
Make sure to fix the speed of memory and gpu to the speed your card can handle as well or leave those out completely that way you ensure also it starts
For faster heavy cards (7950,7970 and R9 280 and up ) we adjust the gpu-threads from 1 or 2 to 4 a 5850 can handle 2 threads
This should most of the time work for any card

Well the reason I ask is because I read that the "new" version is allowing intensities over 15. If I try to set anything >15 I don't get any hashrate being displayed.

I have tried now the latest SGMiner from this link: https://www.dropbox.com/s/59lvecndm866bzz/sph-sgminer_x11mod_b2.zip and getting following results:

280x -> 3,33Mh/s
290 -> 3,73 Mh/s

Config (280x,280x,290):
sgminer --kernel x11mod -o stratum+tcp://useast.blackcoinpool.com:3333 -u UserName.1 -p x -I 15,15,15 -w 128,128,256 --thread-concurrency 8192,8192,25601 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500,1250 --gpu-engine 1090,1090,1000 --gpu-fan 60 --gpu-powertune 20 -g 2,2,4

The pool is showing hashrate accordingly but I'm seeing this error popping up frequently:

getaddrinfo() in setup_stratum_socket() returned 11001: No such host is known

What is this error?

this error is because there is sgminer.conf with undefinied pool, just rename this file to sgminer.co or something else if you use your own .bat file to run.
btw this miner work fine for me, everything is ok, and with -I 18 I get 7970 = 3,350 Mh, 7950 = 2,950 Mh

Checking in here since I was the one who requested the extra WATCHDOG_SICK_TIME version

If you run with gpu-threads 2 vs the standard 1 you have less chance of getting SICK warnings.  I still have all 3 instances up from last night and none have SICK warnings across any rigs, so recommend gpu-threads 2 for these hashing algos.

Also may have helped I changed memclock to 1250-1500 instead of forced at 1500.

I have the 2/4min version downloaded in case this fails after I get a morning nap before my afternoon shift.
