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

[Pansyfaust]

I'm able to mine with the kernel you provided wolf, but I get HW errors on my 7950 running at its stock speeds and I-15 TC- 8192 and W-64

Any tips? I am on 14.9 btw.

try not specifying TC. How many GPU threads? Also, intensity is a little high.

I've lowered to I- 12, TC automatically set to 4096, g- 1 and W-256 and I'm getting 103 kh/s, but my WU is only 5.5/m(is this proper?)

No HW errors with the above at stock speeds.

I'm with 14.6 driver and 7950  with this parameters -I 17 --worksize 48 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 8193 --gpu-engine 1040 --gpu-memclock 1500 and the result is 149 kh/s .

I'm actually just testing to see if the kernel works nicely since I have my actual mining rig set up away from home- I wanted to try get all the software kinks out before I try load up a workable setting on my 280x's and one 7990. For instance, never knew I-15 was high for neoscrypt since -18 for x11 is fine.

Any progress here

Progress? Like?

Wrong topic, excusé moi

yeah no wonder i tried I 17-18 i only get up to 15...

We need testers for NiceHash NeoScrypt. If you would like to participate, send me PM. It will only take 1 min of your time (you connect to certain IP:port and send few shares and then report back via PM what were the share diffs you saw in sgminer).

How long until this algorithm gets implemented on nicehash?  Trademybit already has it being launched to multiport within the next 24 hours.

NiceHash looks like they're having trouble finding a dev - they PM me, I refused the job; now I see them on the FTC forums.

Yes, we are still looking. Come on, it is not so hard. All you need to know are what are the changes regarding to scrypt or other algos and then adjust this. Everything else is just copy paste (algorithm).

[nicehash]

I know; it's too easy, almost. Not really worth it to take for me.

What kernel is scrypt-N  supposed to use ?

cheers

The same as Scrypt (ckolivas, zuikkis, etc.), just set "nfactor" : "11"

{
   "name" : "NiceHash_Scrypt-N",
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3335",
   "algorithm" : "zuikkis",
   "nfactor" : "11",
   ...
},

btw: there seems to be a Scrypt-N "rush hour" at NiceHash currently

thats what i'm trying to get at but getting loads of HW errors

14.x drivers are shit for scrypt especially n-scrypt.  Don't waste the electricity.

[semajjames]

that would explain it ,,,i'm on 14.6

thanks

We added NeoScrypt algo to NiceHash/WestHash. Sellers, make sure to use latest Sgminer 5.0 develop version, since cgminer-neoscrypt 3.7.8 has extranonce bug (you will only receive "Share above target" with cgminer-neoscrypt 3.7.8 on our stratum servers)!

Sgminer 5.0 develop source: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/develop

Sgminer 5.0 develop windows binaries: http://cryptomining-blog.com/3735-new-sgminer-5-development-version-with-neoscrypt-support/

BTW: it took as a bit longer to implement proper validator because we were testing on cgminer-neoscrypt 3.7.8 and only today figured out that the issue is with the extranonce bug in cgminer-neoscrypt 3.7.8 ... we really don't understand why they even used such an old buggy version of cgminer for neoscrypt implementation ... bwah!

MultiAlgo users : either update to Sgminer 5.0 develop or disable NeoScrypt factor until you update to this miner. You can disable a particular algorithm by setting f8=0 .... for example f0=1;f2=0.5;f3=4;f4=3;f5=500;f6=3.5;f7=16;f8=0 ... more info on https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo/#finetuning (of course, since NeoScrypt is very profitable, we suggest you to upgrade to latest Sgminer 5.0 develop as soon as possible).

Here are some key settings for Sgminer (of course, your mileage may vary):

Code:

"xintensity" : "64",
"worksize" : "32",
"kernel" : "neoscrypt",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",

Why is solo mining still not possible with this new sgminer ?

because they dont follow the specs.

[semajjames]

Why did x11 on NH multi just throw back loads of HW errors ??

can anyone else see this ,, I am getting random HW errors with the new miner when i use previous clock settings

[chadwickx16]

What is the ratio of neo scrypt to OG scrypt hash on average?  Sorry, I've been out of the Forum for a while and seem to have missed a bit.

[blindminer]

Hi,
My r290's hashrate for x11 is about 4500mh . Can i improve it?
thanks.

sorry for English.
