Wow, amazing that such a great country - top 5 (may be the very #1) in the world has so low el. cost

... On F23 (with latest updates of gcc, kernel, mesa, etc.) I'm able to compile newest sgminer (downloaded from git) without any troubles. But when I try to start something like this : export DISPLAY=:0 export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
./sgminer --algorithm darkcoin --queue 0 --scan-time 5 --no-submit-stale -o stratum+tcp://xyz -u ABCD.1 -p x -g 1 --intensity 7 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 4096 --shaders 256
I got this error : ./aes_helper.cl:188:12: error: OpenCL does not support the 'static' storage class specifier ./aes_helper.cl:255:12: error: OpenCL does not support the 'static' storage class specifier ./aes_helper.cl:322:12: error: OpenCL does not support the 'static' storage class specifier .... input.cl:215:18: error: invalid reinterpretation: sizes of 'uchar8' (vector of 8 'uchar' values) and 'sph_u64' (aka 'unsigned long long') must match input.cl:91:27: note: expanded from macro 'SWAP8' /usr/include/clc/as_type.h:42:22: note: expanded from macro 'as_uchar8' /usr/include/clc/as_type.h:8:38: note: expanded from macro 'as_ulong' input.cl:216:18: error: invalid reinterpretation: sizes of 'uchar8' (vector of 8 'uchar' values) and 'sph_u64' (aka 'unsigned long long') must match input.cl:91:27: note: expanded from macro 'SWAP8' /usr/include/clc/as_type.h:42:22: note: expanded from macro 'as_uchar8' ....
It looks it's "just" about few types/classes, with that's OpenCL not so much familiar. But I'm just guessing ... Do you mean is it possible to make some fix for this (in some of the new version of sgminer, or just some patch for current version) ... ? Thanks in advance, Crys! You can fix it, but I believe speed will be dismal. I'm not sure that _I am_ able to fix it, but if it's trivial and you say me how, I'll be really glad! Yes, I suppose too, that speed will be dismal (or much worse than with proprietary drivers), but at least we can observe the progress with OSS drivers within new kernels and driver versions... Thanks!

Are "static" and "SWAP8" the only two different error messages you are getting? Watch for log truncation...

Hello, A new version of NiceHash Miner has just been released. The new version 1.2.1.0 brings highly optimized AMD GPU mining for popular X11 (+100%), Quark (+50%) and Lyra2REv2 (+200%) algorithms on AMD Pitcairn, Tahiti and Hawaii GPUs along with some additional new features and bug fixes. The significant boost in X11, Quark and Lyra2REv2 algorithms are shown here when mining on four GPUs: R9 280X (Tahiti), 7950 (Tahiti), R9 290x (Hawaii) and 7870 (Pitcairn): https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=news&id=53This is mandatory upgrade for users with AMD GPUs. After upgrading to this release re-run the Precise benchmark if you are using AMD GPUs. And remember - NiceHash Miner is a truly easy-to-use Windows software that will quickly turn your PC, workstation or server into money-making machine. Detailed description, application options and even full source code is available on the GitHub page. Go ahead and get it here: download here! Best regards, NiceHash team Thank you! Bug: sgminer-5-1-0-optimized freeze while x11 mining. Bug is floating, sometime after 3 hours mining, sometime after 20 minutes mining. win7x64, 2 R9 280X, amd-catalyst-15.7.1 Please combine all algorithms with single sgminer, to provide Auto-Switching Multi-Algorithm Mining

The solar panel costs a lot of money. It is not economical and needs a lot of subsidy. That is the reason for high price.

Those are paid by the state, not the electrical company, BTW.

Not bad. Here some results. First card = R9 Nano, second one = 290x , both @ stock clocks. img here

The new version is crashing on rigs wich need --gpu-platform 1 as a parameter in sgminer.
1. gpu-platform 0 is the motherboard gpu. 2. gpu-platform 0 is a NVIDIA card.

As far as we have tested this only happens on Win10 and it also depends on the order of drivers installation ... The workaround for now is to disable any other GPUs in the system if you wan't to use your AMD GPUs. sp_, do you know of any decent method in C# to retrieve all OpenCL platforms with names and IDs?

What is the optimal Graphics Card for this currently? Needing a new graphics card any way, may as well let mining decide for me as I don't play many modern games. R9 Nano, R9 3xx, R9 Fury etc? Electricity is 8cents per KWh

Best regards, NiceHash team About the new optimised kernels: I assume they are precompiled bins as usual, but what about the miner part that runs on cpu? At least for quark some kind of host code is needed, for it to hash that fast. Is that code opensource and merged into sgminer main branch?

It's source; mine. Exactly. sgminer is more or less unmaintained, but you can find neoscrypt.cl in the kernel folder of sgminer-5.2.1-general in the NiceHash Miner. We prefer to keep all opensource, so you're welcome to reuse it anywhere. And of course Wolf has all the credits for the optimized version (but his work was decently paid by us).

Only neoscrypt is opensource. That's because Wolf was generous i assume. The others, Quark, X11, etc are not open source. Pre-compiled Binaries. Ashame, not able to run on unix based systems.

That's what I was asking: I wanted to run it on linux and have a look at the host code. bummer :-/
