 Can somebody help me configure my R9 290 on Neoscrypt?

My R9 280x do about 515kh/s. While my R9 290 get only about 360? Can't be. On X11 the 290s do about 6900, which seems ok to me?

This is my config:

],
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.2.77,W:93.130.41.63",
"api-listen" : true,
"expiry" : "1",
"failover-only" : true,
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "1",
"gpu-threads" : "4",
"gpu-engine" : "960,960,960",
"gpu-fan" : "67,67,70",
"gpu-memclock" : "1250,1250,1250",
"gpu-powertune" : "20,20,20",
"intensity" : "16",
"temp-target" : "85",
"temp-overheat" : "90",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"worksize" : "64",
"lookup-gap" : "2,2,2",
"shaders" : "2560,2560,2560",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"sharethreads" : "32,32,32",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"tcp-keepalive" : "30"
}

I'm using the 14.7RC Drivers. Stilt BIOS also installed. But somehow the cards wont gain much speed.

EDIT -- ok with lower Intensity (13 - similar to old scrypt configs) the Hashrate goes up to about 620. But somehow I'm getting R:100% ?

EDIT -- ok, it's been the version von SGminer I've been using. Updated to the latest provided by Nicehash. Rejecteds been the same problem to my r9 280Xs.. Been wondering why my hashrate was so high. With latest miner it's dramatically lower..

try --algorithm lyra2re with my version

Hey badman74, you know as always I'm appreciative as hell for the binary wrap-ups you've done.  Can you tell me if the version in your signature is later than 4.2.2-308, and where I can find the version on github in the code?  I remember looking for it during the 5.1.0-dev bump but not really able to find it in yours.  Just want to know what build we're on for it.

Also, anybody who can implement scrypt-jane in this sgminer5 would be a badass!

i think the version on github shows 4.2.2-310 but i haven really been paying attention to what has been going on lately so i may be behind

What is the version of miner you use? Where do you download it? It is very fast for 280x.

[damm315er]

He just said it was all rejects - I've got 500kh/s on 280X working, but just barely.

You newb's, I tell ya..  Barely working at 500, sheesh, can't even put out the effort to get it stable...

wolf, if you don't share your bin optimized, you can just shut the fuck up..
we don't care of your bragging..

I have two cards. With some kernels, card 0 apparently hashes well but WU is 0, no shares submitted. Card 1 is ok. Same problem on sph-sgminer 4.1.
Any clue?

Give more information please, what type of cards, what configuration run.

One is 290, the other 290x.
It seems to depend on the kernel and not the specific configuration.
Different versions of x11 kernel may work or may not, with the same configuration .
Anyone had the same problem?

I have bad experiance with 290, hard to reach stability mining in different algorithms.
Anyway, you should to have different configurations (settings) at least because of the difference (numbers) of stream processors.

I mean that, with the same configuration, one x11 kernel works and the other doesn't (card 0). Card 1 always works.

My 290's are pretty stable at 7.8 mh/s each on x11. 

But they take different settings from the 290x.

Haha, it is stable. Just barely over 500 

510 here.

damm315er probably was mining scrypt with the older sgminer, that explains 100% rejects..

Do you use a private miner (kernel)?

Guilty as charged, whatever you meant by that..

Wolf0 Neoscrypt mod must have been sold to every big miner

2 days ago FTC network hash was 779mhs

Today, the FTC network hash is 1.05GHs  

A whopping 35% increase in 2 days

Nope - my guy may have switched back to Neo, though.

What do you think of my post on the CCminer thread wolf0?

"It's math and macro economic strategy for most people to make a return on alts.

"Yeah, but remember, big funds outside of the Crypto Sector have, only, a 5% success in investments into new business ventures  

Why should new crypto coins have a bigger success ratio, maybe a lower success rate of 4%. Developers disappearing is not such a surprise, when you think about it? Some investors and miners have unrealistic outlooks on new alts, even old alts  Huh

Buying or mining into coin before they have their 1st Block halving or late on in their pre-POS as the initial buzz of the launch has worn off, the the most efficient way to get a big position with such a low success rate.

Taking a position of 0.001% to 0.0001% is necesssary to ensure the few successes you achieve return a net profit compared to failed investments.

Here's a few examples:

Pheonixcoin, 98 million coins, equals 98,000 to 9,800 position; Block halving 2015.

Feathercoin 300,000,000 coins, equals 300,000 to 30,000 position; Block halving 2019.

Vertcoin 84,000,000 coins, equals 84,000 to 8,400,000 position; Block halving 2018.

Therefore, if one or two investments reach 10-50 cent a coin, you have made a net profit on the investments, even though your investment in the other 24 coins made a mad loss   "

Hope it helps newcommers "

[thevictimofuktyranny]

I added some extra notes today, what do think Wolf0?

"As a further note

To my to early post about an investment strategy based on maths and macro economics useful for returning net profits from crypto-currencies 

Everyone should have realised that crypto currencies are not Stock or Shares. Any attempt to import knowledge from that dodgy sector or similar dodgy sectors will result in substantial losses our new sector of economic activity 

Because crypto currencies is a new sector of economic activity, its governing maths and macro economics will need to written from scratch. For example: in stocks and shares, there are penny stocks, which people can invest in and in the West they have frequently been used as means to defraud the small investor out their Fiat Money 

In crypto currencies there are no penny stocks: only a) Bust coins, b) Hobbyist coins, c) Economic coins, d) New coins. Bust coins is were the developer has disappeared, but the servers/nodes are paid up for a year and the coin just continues.

Hobbyists coins have a cult or loyal following and do not become bust coins because the owners of the coins do the software updates and pay for extensions on servers/nodes (their is substantial pleasure in becoming the bosses of a hobbyist coins). These Hobbyist coins retain significant economic values.

Economic coins, are coins that are available in high volumes and have achieved market valuations above 50 cent a coin e.g. original miners and organisation have significant profits from their early collection of coins to become skilful in duties and in future developments of that crypto currency  Wink This adjusted for multi-billion coin crypto-currencies like Dogecoin or Ripple 

New coins are a self-evidently a new possibility to make profits or losses "

Speculation is making money out of nothing. It's valueless. And you are making someone else poorer.
Investing in good projects is helping them succeed.
It depends on if you care only about money...

I think many neoscrypt miners are using nicehash? Myself included. I really have no idea which coin I am mining right now.

You should check other neoscrypt coins as well, to see if some other coin has similar decrease in hash rate..

Yeah, it is across all the neoscrypt coins.

UFOcoin is averaging down 34%
Bollywoodcoin is averaging down 34%
Pheonixcoins is averaging up 15% (odd one because someone stuck 10mhs on it for 2 weeks to do a coin grab, on the period before that it is averaging 45% below).

Hard to tell with Imperialcoin and Guncoin, because their exchange price is way below the mining costs, I would guess no-one who had a modded neoscrypt kernel and bin is going to touch those ones.

You can have look at "Hub" yourself on this link:
http://miningpoolhub.com/

If, you are mining at Nicehash/Westhash you should get the multi-algo switching software (a pre-compiled Window version is avaliable), the X11 modded sgminer nearly always pays more at Nicehash/Westhash then the unmodded Neoscrypt:

http://cryptomining-blog.com/3998-miner-control-1-5-5-pack-for-amd-radeon-r9-280x/

This an old list and you'll need to go into the config file and replace the Bitcoin address for payouts to your one.

Delete the Backup pools, "Mytradebot" (gone bust) and Wafflepool (gone bust) and Yamp (mining directly from Yamp is better). Change the hashpower outputs with a test run on each algo

X11 mods and 4% mod for Neoscrypt is on this link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623409.msg10177774#msg10177774

You can copy and past the modded sgminer kernels and bins into Miner Control software for nicehash/westhash, but the neoscrypt algo will stop working and the Nist5 algo (just lower there hash output in the config file for those algos and software will not mine them).

I've opted for mining with just a modded X11 sgminer at Yamp (neoscrypt always pays higher at Yamp anyway), you can get paid out in whatever coin you want to collect, this way you don't need to waste time swapping Bitcoins for the cryto currency that you want to invest into

I think there 4-5 rivals to Wolf0 who figured out the same modifications and that's why there such a jump in gravity well difficulty
