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

Is there any fee or charge attached to this?

Is there any fee or charge attached to this?

None whatsoever. This is the whole point, the only thing is an optional manual donation to the people who made this fork possible without the 2% fee.

Then tried the following config:

sgminer -k x11mod -o stratum+tcp://pool.xhash.net:3355 -u USER -p x --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://drkpool.com:3333 -u SUER -p x -I 15 -w 256 --gpu-threads 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 1100 --gpu-memclock 1250 --gpu-powertune 20 --api-listen --api-allow W:127.0.0.1

The intensity is 15 but it still shows as 18. It does not change for some reason.
Still get the getaddinfo message:

check your sgminer.conf file or you can delete this file if you are using .bat files to your miner.

Has anyone built this for Mac OS X yet?

I just got up and running on Lubuntu 14.04 using the AMD 14.4 drivers today. Running a single powercolor reference R9 290x and getting 3.5Mh/s at I 19 --no other options set.

This sgminer software needs work...

The Accepted, Rejected and Hardware counters at the top of the screen never increment (A: R: HW:).
The pool connection never indicates what the miner is actually connected to ie (Connected to Pool 0)

With all the fuss over stolen hashrate, using this algorithm, this piece of software needs some work.

I'd love to see a ckolivas version of an X11 miner.

Ckolivas, I will tell you, is a douche, a very big one. He no longer supports OpenCL(since like 3.7.2) and will refuse to add it, he despises anything other than SHA256 and this is further reinforced by the fact he removed scrypt.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but I know him from like when he first wrote cgminer and...his character is just awful, kano is his protege.

No harm done, there are lots of "personalities" out there, and I wasn't happy when he dropped support for scrypt myself. With that said, his software put mining on the map for many many people and there have been countless variants based on his work. For that he gets a bunch of respect from me --despite his dropping support for scrypt.

If you can tweak the above issues (seeing the active pool and incrementing the counters properly), I'll happily send a donation.

Please try this version https://www.dropbox.com/s/0bjpeub3e2obfdl/sph-sgminerx11v2.zip

Fixed share difficulty being displayed as negative or simply as 0.000. Fixed pool difficulty being displayed as 0.000, pool name is also displayed now. "Fixed" global counters. Their purpose was apparently different, but I changed them to display global i.e total accepted,rejected and HW error of all devices combined.

counters seem to be counting but displays full pool URL on every line

You forgot a couple .dll files, but this version seems to work great for me.  Using same config I used with the 2% fee miner the hash rate is maybe 0.020mh/s less (not a big deal).

The missing DLL should be added now. And pool name appearing on every share is also fixed(but needs someone to test). The same link posted above is still valid, contains the updated version.

Looks good so far, running for a few minutes

Hey lads, running sgminer x11mod b2 build that was posted like on page 11 or 12? I don't recall

I restarted my sgminer so I don't got like a screen shot to show, but here is my config

1x Sapphire 280X @ 1.175V - 1160/1500  3x Sapphire 270 @ 1.175,1.175,1.188
280X - 3.348 MH/s
270 - Each @ 2.030-2.036MH/s
Total avg is about 9.449 MH/s when I saw it before I closed it out. I've tested these settings and these numbers work the best for me

Windows 8.1

**Testing new clock speeds on 280X right now, above is good settings.

** When I'm mining on this config and WU/m I get, pool usually reports between 9.4MH/s - 10.7MH/s

FYI, R9 290 (non-X), AMD 14.4, new settings yield 3800 KH/s:

 -I 19 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -g 2 -w 128 --thread-concurrency 20481

Each version update for this miner increases the virus warning.

Went from 4 to 7, and now is 9/53.

Not complaining, just a heads up to the wonderful folks developing and compiling.

[ebliever]

Thanks for the updated version. I was seeing some odd hashrate drop-offs and variation on the prior version, but so far this is more stable, and I've gone from 15 Mhash to 16.3 Mhash with my four R290X's.

[tsumeone]

Only if you are lucky enough to be able to get 1500 memclock.  If you have crap Elpida memory that won't OC above 1400mhz like me, just use stock mem clock and I 18 for 3700KH/s (and probably less power usage).

[platinum4]

5th - does your v2 include the double-SICK-watchdog time mod.

I've been running the 2min SICK version for an uptime of +24hrs straight now with hardlocks on gpu-engine and memclock

Can we ask for some kalroth patches?  Or can I get a link as to how to compile?  The windows build instructions in the github doesn't work, my MSYS crashes out on the autoreconf -fvi line, so I can't build it.

I'd like to slip some Kalroth patches into this version and test, but I can't compile on the fly.

5th or Elun can you PM me?

[ellave]

There any BAMT builds around with this new version of the miner?

[Sophokles]

Great!  Getting 3.1 MHash/s each with

4* Sapphire Radeon 7970
on GA-990FXA-UD5

OS:     Win 7
driver: Catalyst 14.4

settings:
--kernel x11mod -w 256 -I 15 -g 2 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1080 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192

voltage: 1.13

pulls 760W at the wall.

Only problem: I had to upgrade to Catalyst 14.4, since it did not work with the modified 13.1 I used to run 5 GPUs under Win7.
So only 4 GPUs are detected now. Fifth one shows up with 'error 43' in system manager.


Is there any way to run 5 GPUs with this x11 miner on WIN7? Suggested driver Version?  Thanks a ton!

You can use the 14.4 or 13.12 mod version,

https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=11761.0

This worked like a charm, thanks!

I would like a link to this modified driver see if I can find what was changed between the original and the modified one.

It was the techpowerup 13.1, very popular about a year ago, only solution to run more than 4 GPU on Win7. I don't have the original link any more, but it can be found easily on this board.

Sure everyone can inspect the code and can compile his own version... Because everyone know C++ or java or linux

You are completely wrong, if you think I'm c++ and linux guru.
