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

[badman74]

Do git clone --recursive https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer.git to get sgminer instead of downloading it the way you are, or use git submodule init and git submodule update before configuring

still not working

still shows you dont have jasson... in mingw shell, goto your sgminer dir and enter git submodule update --init and see if it downloads it if not then there is a problem with git
i have to open a git shell separately (not the one i use for mingw) then use git submodule update --init, then go back to mingw and do the rest from autoreconf -fvi on

I may start up the little thing I was doing, compiling SG5 for Win x64 every week or so again. Seems like people could use it.

Why do these miner's need compiling every week ?
is it because they are changed regularly in some way on git hub?

Usually, developers change things. That's how new features get added and stuff.

Anyway, I did it more for people who couldn't compile themselves but still wanted the absolute latest in terms of speed improvements and features.

Yeah right nice, I don't know how to compile.
So if someone compiles a miner on their own machine is the resulting miner then tuned more to that machine than others ?

shouldn't be
the only problem with not doing it yourself is the possibility of getting a virus either intentionally added or sneaking in from the builders computer on one of the dll's

  "shouldn't be"
But miners with different drivers that makes a difference yeah?
what drivers is your sg 5-mod compiled with?

getting a virus yeah well thats why ya dont use an .exe of someone's who you don't know :-)

[Eliovp]

getting a virus yeah well thats why ya dont use an .exe of someone's who you don't know :-)

It doesn't especially have to be a .exe .... just be careful..

win x64 version compiled by Visual Studio https://www.dropbox.com/s/hicczty4rhfr0o7/sgminer%20win%20x64.rar?dl=0

Thanks for the nice offers, but I'd really like to know how to compile it so I can play in source. I'm not really a miner, or an investor. I was trying to build sgminer with a change to source code, so I'd need to build from my own github

gonna try out what badman74 said to try out now.

[SavageWS6]

Has anyone tried Windows 10 yet?

I have tried it on Windows 10 x64.. Worked perfectly fine

[semajjames]

i am using 14.6 drivers

great just installed 14,6rc beta and was able to raise clocks to get 75kh/s more per 290 on x13

did you use 14.6 rc beta  or 14.6 rc2 ?

[TheUsualStuff]

Thanks,

I got jansson installed now. Do version numbers matter here? i did the submodule update on sgminer folder, but now it doesn't find OpenCL after configure.

Gonna try to redo it.

not really... for some reason i cant get my fork of sgminer to show 5.0.0
only way i could do it as far as i have found would be to delete my repo and refork it then add my changes back

Oh, I meant version #'s for mingw/jansson. Weird that the fork won't show 5.0.0 though.

beta

smooth 5.28M on 290 for 2 hour's 0% rejects :-)

[edit] and it's fixed my low hash rat on NIST5

Turns out I forgot to re-add the OpenCL stuff, after you told me how to do the github stuff. Yeah, my prob was something with git.

Anyways, got it all compiled and working happy right now (been a long time since I had my cards doing something useful).

Testing it out now, thanks!

R9 290x
Try hamsi-expand 7

There non x r9 290's but even so being under 10M was making me think i was missing some mod   or some reading that with nist5 the speed was hard to get to.

i would say yes you should be getting more than 9mh/s out of them but i dont really see any huge problems with your setup...
try redownloading my mod from my sig
and make sure

"hamsi-expand-big" : "7",
"hamsi-short" : true,
"blake-compact" : true,
"keccak-unroll" : "8",
"luffa-parallel" : true,

are in your config
also set

"gpu-threads" : "2",
"worksize": "64"

[Edit] Fixed this low hash rate on nist5 by changing to 14.6 rc beta  driver     instead of 14.7 :-)

in sgminer v5 doesn't work nscrypt 

Code:

sgminer.exe --algorithm nscrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3335 -u ...... -p d=128 -I 19 -w 256 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 19712,12800 -s 1 --queue 0 --expiry 10 --gpu-engine 1100,1160 --gpu-memclock 1400,1500 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 72,48

have: " Rejected ....share above target "  on 4.2.1 version it's OK  What is wrong with sgminer v5?

use
"algorithm" : "alexkarnew",
"nfactor" : "11"
or whatever scrypt kernel you want instead of alexkarnew

Any help for upgrading to 14.9?

Any help for upgrading to 14.9?

If you are using "Badman74" mod from his sig then i would most defenintly   stick with or go back to 14.6 rc beta
