[ANN] sgminer v5 - optimized X11/X13/NeoScrypt/Lyra2RE/etc. kernel-switch miner

[realrover]

Hi guys,
Sorry, I'm not able to read the whole thread regarding my problem. Probably someone has a quick answer to this:

I'm starting the miner with the following config file:

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"name" : "Betarigs X13",
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://r1182.g19.rigs.eu.betarigs.com:4420",

		"user" : "BTC address here",
		"pass" : "d=.01;f0=0;f2=0;f3=4.14;f4=3.18;f5=0;f6=2.66;f7=0",
		"algorithm" : "marucoin-mod",

"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.2.1/25"

}

The miner starts and silently shuts down after couple of seconds. When I start it with -T option it prints text below and shuts down after I press any key:

C:\Utils\Sgminer5>C:\Utils\Sgminer5\sgminer.exe -T --config C:\Utils\Sgminer5\sg
miner-auto.conf
[13:48:50] Started sgminer 4.2.2-265-g363f-dirty

C:\Utils\Sgminer5>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

If I start it with "old-fashion" config file, without auto-switching options specified under the "pools" section, it works perfectly. What could it be? Thank you.

are you using the latest build?
this problem was solved recently i believe
has to do with not setting a TC (fixed a few days ago)

Yes, my version is 1 week old. Adding TC has helped. Thank you very much for your help!

It's working great now. Thanks!

Hello
I am mining Nist5 (talkcoin-mod) algo with 4x 7950, but can't get more than 5.2MH per card.
Using 14.4 Driver on Xubuntu 12.04, kindly anyone can provide a 14.6 BIN file for the 7950 on talkcoin-mod?

I have one but it says Nist5 instead of talkcoin-mod, rename it, but I get tons of HW errors, so obviously it is not compatible with this version or my cards, or the OS.

thank you!.

Why not just update to 14.6?

[induktor]

My miners runs off a USB flash drive, I have only 10% free, If I try to update the driver, I risk run out of flash space, happened before and had to reinstall everything

the only option (unless someone can help with the bin files) is to install one of the miners from scratch on a hard drive, once everything is working, copy the bin files to the USB flash drive and get rid of the hard drive.

but it is a lot of work that I will really love to avoid if possible

Hi all
Could someone maybe give my poor being a hand in getting the optimised Nist5 miner/kernel to work on SGminer5? I use PiMP, been trying to compile on of djm34's versions myself but failed miserably... I think it might be due to my abysmal Linux skills...

Anyone who could share the few command lines needed?
Many thanks in advance!
 

EDIT: It works in sph-sgminer_x11mod. However it would be very nice if I could use Nist5 in the multi-switching algo of SGminer5...

There's about 80 config files posted throughout this thread.  Please take the time to look, instead of post a "just do it for me already" post, which that basically was.

--kernel nist5 == --algorithm talkcoin-mod

Spent time trying to compile, but completely missed a) comparing the two files' sizes b) checking through some of the many working configs posted c) https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/pull/272 d) https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/issues/268

Spent time to answer like a douchebag but completely missed a) what files? b) since when do configs tell you if a kernel is compiled into a miner without having to do it first? c) & d) that's not a walkthrough nor an explanation that are links to conversations about merging files and technical data.

Well done for being a douche and not answering any of the question. Next time, can you just refrain if you do not intend to help?

MultiAlgo ports are not sharp.

In the same moment a few multialgo ports were open (4337, 4339 on the picture).
But the table on the site was saying 4339 much more profitable (In the moment when I made screen).
How can I solve that?

Thank you!

Make sure you use same factors and costs for all connections made. If these are not the same, then this is exactly what you can see - multiple stratums being alive and ready to serve work.

a) files nist5.cl & talkcoin-mod.cl
b) most every config have people listing "nist5" pools while using "talkcoin-mod" as the algorithm [2+2=4]
c) exact date at which lasybear merged the nist5 algorithm, named "talkcoin-mod" into sgminer, from sph_sgminer (lasybear's miner); that's the optimized nist5 kernel, because that's the exact same human being that made it for his own miner, and then was kind enough to push it over into this sgminer multi-algo version, can't get a more direct source than that
d) exact date at which I proposed we include the nist5 algorithm, which lasybear pushed over as a response, in part c)

So it appears to be, douchebag or not, that I'm one of the reasons we have this algo in the multi-algo sgminer, but whatever dude, interpret all of our help here in a different light if you need to, seeing as we've been participating actively both in this sgminer and lasybear's since the beginning https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632503.msg7049650#msg7049650

You said it yourself, you wanted a walkthrough.  Walk through 54 pages of posts, just as we have, and you'll be up and running in no time, just like we are.  If you want somebody else to do it for you, just state that, and offer a bounty to pay.  Deeming anybody a douchebag may make you feel better, but it won't get you up and running any faster.  Take the time to look through peoples' problems and solutions here, since many problems are presented, and many solutions have been offered and accepted that have fixed a myriad of problems, across different card architectures, different OS, different driver versions, and different pools.  Your post was pretty non-specific and just said "how do i hash, i was using lasybear's now i want to use this."  Without specifics, OS, driver version, card type & specs, what could you possibly expect us to be able to provide you, without knowing what your specific situation is?  Since you know your situation, and we don't, there's 54 pages of possible solutions here, which seems to about a hundred others to be more than helpful for setting up.

There's config files for nearly every card-type with different specs if you need it, complete with recommended intensities.

There's multiple posts listing near-exactly what hashrates you can expect with CCC 13.x-14.4, and also 14.6 beta and later.

There's a ton of people who split their configs into two files, using a profiles.conf and a shortened sgminer.conf, with examples.

There's a few people who use CGWatcher, and there are a few valid config files which satisfy CGWatcher.

There's plenty of help here.

@nicehashdev

Can you please make available the source for sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-25-win32, I am trying to track down a very specific bug that's been occurring the last few weeks since that release, which has caused a significant drop (up to -500Kh/s) in the x11 algorithm's performance.  https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/issues/347

I've already gone over it with ystarnaud and we can confirm that it is a) not driver-related b) not .cl-file related c) copying the .bin file from the working 06-25 build into the latest 07-12 build actually yields worse performance d) rebooting is not an issue, as I can flip over any time back to the 06-25 build and replicate maximum hashrate versus not e) the 06-25 build allowed you to set gpu-engine, and it does still allow you to set gpu-engine even with 14.7RC drivers, which the devs think you currently cannot

Please please please make available this source for us to compare against.  It was the last known source prior to addition of x15 algorithm.

As hashrate providers, you want us to figure this out for you.

The only thing I notice is that you f7 should probably be more like 4550
At least if you are getting 145mh/s on x11
I get 5mh/s on x11 and 150mh/s on nist5 per card on average although I can get more like 190mh/s if I can keep my cards cool enough

[induktor]

My miners runs off a USB flash drive, I have only 10% free, If I try to update the driver, I risk run out of flash space, happened before and had to reinstall everything

the only option (unless someone can help with the bin files) is to install one of the miners from scratch on a hard drive, once everything is working, copy the bin files to the USB flash drive and get rid of the hard drive.

but it is a lot of work that I will really love to avoid if possible

I will upload my bin..7950@1040/1500 ~11mh/s..shortly

Good luck  

Thank you for taking the time!!, really!

something weird with your bin (I downloaded the 32 bit version (l4 because my miner produces l8 (64 bit bins)) and only with you bin i get this error:

error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

any idea what can cause this?

Tried to rename l4 to l8 and test it on the 64 bit version, same deal

EDIT: created a symlink for the library libcurl.so.4 to the /usr/lib and /usr/local/lib and now the error is different: error while loading shared libraries: libcurl.so.4: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64

it seems that you system is 32 bit, and bin are not swappable just like that I am out of ideas

I get 5mh/s on x11 and 150mh/s on nist5 per card on average although I can get more like 190mh/s if I can keep my cards cool enough

150mh@nist5 per card? Unbelievable
