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

[wildduck]

If anybody is interested: we've added support for buying and selling hashing power based on Scrypt-Jane algorithm for LEOcoin: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=news&id=41

Send us email to support@nicehash.com if anyone is interested in adding support for scrypt-jane into sgminer (patch for cgminer is available here: https://sites.google.com/site/rmdavidson/cgminer-3.7.3-kalroth-sj-0.03.patch.gz?attredirects=0)

NiceHash team

Yes but nfactor changes in 9 hours and then i think it will be better to mine with cpu.

Hey Wolf0(or anyone else who can help me),

I'm using wolf0's X11 bins but im having an odd issue. I have 5 tahiti cards and one hawaii(290). The tahiti cards work fine when I use wolfs bins, but the 290 gets no accepted shares ever. It shows the correct expected hashrate(from wolfs bin 7~), no hw errors and the temp goes up but no accepted shares.

BUT if i delete wolfs bin for hawaii and let sg build the kernel from w.e x11 sources it comes with, it works(shares get accepted) but ofc at a much lower hashrate (4.9~).

Any ideas as to why? Tahiti cards works fine with wolf/non wolf.
I'm on linux x64.

I've been experiencing the exact same issue for the past lotta months (since wolf0 bins leaked).
I could never find a solution. I think it happens on hawaii and linux, perhaps 64 bit miner only.

It happens with kachur bin too ):
oh well, maybe ill give 32biit sgminer a shot later.

Thanks for the fast response!

Hey,

I'd like to know what interest there is to buy brand new GPUs (also HDDSs and GPUs) in the community. Through a really big procurement that I'm directing IRL, I'd be able to offer decent discounts. The negative side is that I can only handle a few different models (those my employer chose to buy), although many of each one.

I take two HDDs as examples of what percentage the discount would offer on an item.

WD Green WD60EZRX 6TB IntelliPower 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Standard price is $279 but newegg have them on discount for $222.

Seagate Desktop SSHD ST4000DX001 4TB 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Solid State Hybrid Drive Bare Drive Standard price is $279 but newegg have them on discount for $229.

I'd be able to sell these for approx. $170 (EU) and $185 (US) incl. shipping.

More importantly for you, I will be able to offer GPUs (nVidia 970-980ti & the newest AMDs) with the similar discount.

Thanks!

At present, if you pay electricity price over $0.15/kWh, you cannot make any profit on most of the coins.

Hi guys can someone help me with kachur bins.

Thx in advance

The old links are not working any more...

[cidman]

so now that DGB is doin so well i have been trying to mine it with my 290x cards but cant seem to find a sgminer that works with skein for some reason
the windows 5.1.1 from cryptomining-blog just reverts to ckolivas any time i start it
the old cgminers still work but kinda wanna experiment and see if sgminer will run a bit better

this is what im running in my conf:

"intensity" : "11",
"worksize" : "128",
"kernel" : "skein",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"shaders" : "2812",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"device" : "0"

maybe its just a settings issue?

"skein" is not a kernel in sgminer, it's just the base algo to be included in a kernel.
I don't think there is any sgminer for myriad-skein, but I may be wrong ;-)

sgminer != cgminer

[wildduck]

Sorry man then i think sgminer 5.1 - nicehash has skein.

[cidman]

Sorry man then i think sgminer 5.1 - nicehash has skein.

thx to both u and pallas for lookin into it but yea 5.1 wont work either
i did have issues with a few ccminers for my nvidia cards and i think the issue is the myr-skein vs skein
since skein is used in another algo
which goes back to the reason why skein is a kernal in sgminer but not the myr-skein used in DGB

oh well cgminer works but not very optimizable tho
i can underclock/overclock, raise and lower intensity, and limit the % of GPU used and still hit 285Mh pretty much no matter what
unless anyone has any ideas on that, im new to mining still starting earlier in the year so i never used cgminer other than for asics

[pallas]

I had a look at cgminer_skein and I think it's pretty good, as usual with reorder's releases. A good gpu coder might squeeze a bit more hashrate, but don't expect 2x or more like in other algos (hint: myr-groestl... pm me if interested).

I tried to mine DGB with cgminer, algo was skein, two 280x and one 280, but my gpu usage stayed at 64% for all three gpus, cpu usage 100%!
low end cpu e7400 with 6 GB ram
windows 7 64
driver 15.7
any idea about this problem?

did you set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1?

[fenomenhaa]

Nowadays which algo worth to mine with 280x? i have mixed mind again.Groestl i never mined before,skein,skein2 or what? ))
@pallas what u have? ))
