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

[Zuikkis]

Ok, I did a multi-algo version myself, source available from HERE.

This is based on badman74's latest version, so includes Lyra2E, Pluck and WhirlpoolX algos.

Don't ask for windows builds, sorry.

Oh yeah,
I can switch between algo's just fine.

I used Wolf his 64bit linux version (source).

How do  you switch? Here it uses whirlpoolx kernel for all algos..

Nicehash has sgminer downloads that allow for switching including whirlpoolx.  It has been working for me.  The announcement a few posts back was kind of confusing

Well, I haven't tested the Windows versions, but Linux binaries and the source are whirlpoolx-only.

The source code only has whirlpoolx.c in the algorithm-directory. There is no way any other algo could work..

Where you at badman74, mind spinning us up some Windows binaries please?

I have an important question:

Does sgminer works work with scrypt asic hardwares miner?
It would be great to see setting!

[cryptoangel]

I need help trying to get the new sgminer to work.

I am on latest AMD driver 14.12
and
APPSDK 2.9.1.

Tried

sgminer-5.0-daily-20140710-14-win32
sgminer-5.1-2014-12-20-win32
sgminer-whirpoolx-win64

keep getting

My normal miner i use works without any problems.

Thank you!, now i am getting

GPU 1 failure, disabling!

If you overclock, reduce the frequency.

Are you sure this is based on latest badman74's version from here: https://github.com/badman74/sgminer? Because I've noticed two issues: "--difficulty-multiplier 2" issue is not resolved in your source (but is in badman74's git version) and Lyra2RE algo only works with "Lyra2RE" algorithm acronym, but not with "lyra2re".

Huh sorry, my mistake. Actually it's based on djm34's version, that's why it also has Pluck which badman74 doesn't have.

Someone should gather all these versions together in the main sgminer git..

If I get time this weekend I will try to get all that added to my version.

Here's the lyra2re difficulty fix, for my source.. I'm too lazy to upload a new version.

Code:

algorithm.c, this line:

  { "Lyra2RE", ALGO_LYRA2RE, "", 1,  256, 256, 0, 0, 0xFF, 0xFFFFULL, 0x0000ffffUL, 4,2 * 8 * 4194304 , 0, lyra2re_regenhash, queue_lyra2RE_kernel, gen_hash, NULL},

change to:

  { "Lyra2RE", ALGO_LYRA2RE, "", 1,  128, 128, 0, 0, 0xFF, 0xFFFFULL, 0x0000ffffUL, 4,2 * 8 * 4194304 , 0, lyra2re_regenhash, queue_lyra2RE_kernel, gen_hash, NULL},

so "256, 256" changes to "128, 128".

badman74 and please include the whirlpoolx algorithm

Welcome sages of mining.
I got the results sgminer 5.1

algorithm X11:
280X - 6.6 n/h
270 -   4.1 m/h

algorithmX13
280x - 4.8m/h
270 -  3m/h

algorithm WhirlpoolX
280x - 127m/h
270 -  87m/h

Please tell me this is a good speed and I'm behind the train?

I have only 280x, mining x11 and that's pretty much good hash rate, I have the same..you can go even higher but if its runs stable on 6,6 m/s I'll stick to that.

I am running the NiceHash Linux binaries posted on 12-20-2014, with Wolf0's x11 *.bin files.  With my 280X rig, I get about 6.6 mh/s on x11, but it is not so stable.  I also get about 1.1mh/s with Lyra2RE, it is more stable.

If Badman74 can put together a good, stable release with the best of the best improvements, I think many AMD miners would appreciate it.  Wolf0's kernels and *.bin files are legendary, but the "salty" leaked bins are as he says, salty.

I hope that Linux binaries are released.  I've compiled many times, but then I never know if the error(s) I get are mine or in the code.

Currently, the best code can do multi-algo, multi-algo autoswitch, and on-event commands, if the JSON.conf file is properly written.  But I don't know if there is one sgminer that can do it all well.  I gave up looking at all the different versions and stuck with NiceHash's Christmas binaries.       --scryptr

I would donate, but unfortunately I wouldn't be benefiting all that much from an optimization... As in, I'm really only fooling around with this as a new hobby, or rather, way to learn about things purely out of interest

@kenshirothefist couple of my miner have been blocked again, most probably by your ddos/firewall again. You really need to tweak up those ddos/firewall settings.
It happens couple of times these last few weeks, reducing profit a lot. Almost every time i wake up theres always a miner thats blocked and cant connect to the stratum, and must wait couple of hours to connect again. This is really annoying. I bet these happens to a lot of people also, it's just that they dont always monitor every single miner like i do.
Also, you're the only mining pool that has this kind of problem. I've never encounter this problem with other pools i've used like multipool, coinotron, etc. Please fix this asap. Thanks.

I've also noticed some weird behavior from westhash over the last 12 hours.  Same symptoms as above plus it appears my unpaid balance suddenly dropped around 12 hours ago.  Take a look at the top 7 hashers on x11 at westhash.  The top 5 had their unpaid balance suddenly jump while the 6th and 7th had their's suddenly drop (with no recorded payments), all around 12 hours ago.  If somehow this is normal I've never seen it.
