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

[lsss]

haven't found a way to mine with my older cards (two 5870 and one 5830) for neoscrypt efficiently...i think it is only a matter of time till someone tweaks the miner for older cards, currently i'm using it to mine cryptonote with claymore miner and these three cards fetch me 754h/s compared to a single 280x h/s of ~600h/s....i remember when claymore later added support for older cards, the same will happen to neoscrypt miners..

Have you tried the kernel modded for older cards yet?

If not, try this: http://phoenixcoin.org/downloads/neoscrypt_vliw.cl

I'm using it for 5870's....42 kh/s each card...hopefully soon someone get's a kernel for us.

is there some way sgminer can be made to switch pools using a profitability password when the pools are not Nicehash pools

cheers 

Not using a password as far as I know, that would have to be implemented on the pool side and as you mentioned yourself Nicehash is the only one so far to do this.
CGwatcher has an option to change pool according to coin-profitability but it hasn't been updated for a long time and only lists the older coins

how about getting sgminer to talk to Microsoft excel through api or something ??

just a shot

Coin profitability is very dynamic and changes every time one of the coins moves on to a new block, so it changes constantly. An excel sheet would be way too static for this purpose. If you can write a tool to use the SGminer API then you can also use the APIs from various pools and exchanges to poll difficulty and exchange price and change the pool on SGminer based on that. But I doubt if it's worth all that trouble.

[damm315er]

Ok so you are talking about adding a diff setting in the miner password yeah ?

    so where do you notice this "higher effective hashrate" recorded ? on a pool webpage or something,,, or is it some more in depth knowledge about mining ect

cheers

Yes, make the diff change via password, then watch your hashrate over the next half hour or so.  It'll typically be higher when set to what your equipment likes, like any other setting.

how do you mean excel would be way to static i don't get that you can get excel to take live real time updating feeds straight from websites  from pools and exchanges and also API call's,,, process the data relative to your own mining power and then auto work out the most profitable for you,,,, the only bit i have not done is get excel to actually auto switch the miner ...

OK, if you want to use excel in that way, as a sort of intermediate visualisation of the profitability, then I guess you could do it. There are API commands to let sgminer change pool so if you should write some code that reads your instantly updated excel sheet and sets the miner. If you already have code to read the API from pools and exchanges and put that into excel than the other way around to sgminer wouldn't be that difficult. Just read the docs that come with sgminer about the API commands.

I'm using it for 5870's....42 kh/s each card...hopefully soon someone get's a kernel for us.

will try it.thanks.

that is very inefficient..my 7750 is at 70kh/s..5870 could double that of 7750 to about 140kh/s more..seen it double in other algo like scrpyt and cryptonote.

EDIT: it works thanks damm315er....hey lsss you should try other settings, mine is -i 11 -w 64 -g 1 (overclocked)


the ~100 kh/s is my 5830 and the 140 - 170 kh/s are my 5870's..don't know much about "WU" it is too high compared to my 280x but 0 HW which is good.

there is still the <hash above target>..i'm still tweaking

[miningspree]

My new 290X is niiiiice! Does 10MH/s on X11!

Hi guys, this is my story, i came from the old world of mining litecoins...
I have a saphire 29 290 4 gb ram VGA, i used to mining litecoins, but a few months ago, i quit mining.

Now i see that my "old card" can mine this x11 x13 x15 "things" of darkcoins and others...

Here`s my question:

How can i mine darkcoins or the most profitable coins today with this card?
If you can tall my, i nedd pool`s name, configuration for my card...

I will thank you very much.


P.d: I read a lot ( almost every page here) but the information at this point is old... this tec is moving too fast jajajaja.

Yeah, something wrong there. 100% rejects and 0 accepted shares. But if you get it sorted and still have that high of a hashrate, that's great.

Which kernel and miner are you using?

You need to find out what's up with all the rejects.  Look into whether you're using the right port, algo, etc.  Maybe back the hashing down a bit to start with.

[spoonuk]

How's this looking chaps?

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1471771/Forums/OCuk/Neo2.PNG

GPU 0, 1 and 2 are 280x's from MSI and 3 and 4 are 290x's from Sapphire.

[damm315er]

GPU 0, 1 and 2 are 280x's from MSI and 3 and 4 are 290x's from Sapphire.

If you're running neoscrypt, each GPU should be at 320+ kh/s.

320k is maxxed for the 280x's, but the 290/290x are bottle-necked at about the same speed.  There's an update coming soon to kick the 290/290x up a bit further.

Yeah that's NeoScrypt.

Do you have decent enough config to bring my 280x's to 320kh/s+?

I don't run any 280's, only 290/290x, but there's settings posted all over that should get you there.  Dig in here, and over at the feathercoin forum.

I would say it is because of sgminer, ghostlander says it will work but I couldn't get it to work. I suppose it depends on the version of sgminer. So i just used cgminer 3.7.8

What's up I heard there was a modified neoscrypt.CL that bypasses the bottleneck on R290X's, is that public yet?

What bottleneck are we talking about? Can we try to be not as vague as "something, somewhere fixing somewhat available to someone"?

You can read the details in the feathercoin forum, that's where the neoscrypt GPU beta testing is going on, and where the neoscrypt.cl came from in the first place.
