Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[bigj]

Bullshit - I talked to dga. What's your beef with me, seriously? If you were just trolling, I doubt you would put this much effort into it.

It does surprise me that you're pissed I released it, though, as I didn't want to. Even more odd that dga is your hero, when he never released his, the guy he sold it to did.

I believe the latter statement ("the guy he sold it to ... released it") to be false, as I noted above.

The former is quite true that I never released it;  there are few heroes in this business.  I developed a fast, private miner for XMR and used for financial gain.  I didn't release it, and planned to keep it private until I'd made some money from it.  As some folks may know, I've been exploring a bunch of different models for how to get paid for developing miners and cryptocurrency code, ranging from:
  * Give it away and ask for donations (this doesn't work at all) -- scrypt for nvidia.
  * Bounties (protoshares gpu) -- this works ok, but doesn't really pay a living wage for the development time.
  * Developer fee (mandatory and then optional / open source after a week or two, for Riecoin) -- less than the bounty approach
  * Mine early to get some holdings and then try to help the coin by contributing code to it (Boolberry)
  * Mine privately for a month before giving it away (the most successful approach yet) (Monero)
    (I never got my month.  *grin*)

It's a debate worth having about how to fund ongoing development of good code, and it's clear from the response to Claymore's fee that there are very strong feelings about it on all sides.

yvg1900 may have the best model overall (a gentle dev fee in a closed source context), but I still think it's worth figuring out good paths that result in the development of quality open source software.

Good programmers are really expensive.

I think cbuchner1 actually has it right, though:  Future coin developers should partner with a miner developer or two to release their coins with fast CPU and GPU miners publicly available as open source.  It'll reduce (but not eliminate) all of this crap.  Perhaps fund it with a share of a 1% dev fee built into the coin itself, as Boolberry incorporated, so that the devs have an incentive to keep up the code.

Fully agreed. Dga, you are probably one of these heroes Also, thanks for sharing these information - this is pretty rare material!

Regarding the models you tested: What is left to try?

* Start your own coin?
* Become a speculator?
* Be an investor (aka coin angle)?
* Being John Malkovich?
* Start yet another crypto exchange?

Best, BigJ

OH too cool and more hash rate

how much of voltage? and asus 280x series? (dc2t -i think this- / dc2t v2 / matrix / other)

my asus dc2t clock 1120 can do only 485h/s fan speed higher and temp heat more than you

I'm having an issue with 5.1 miner, well as with older ones, tried them too.

So, W7 x64 with 270 card, miner 5.1 for 14.6 drivers; wanted to MM on minergate FCN/BCN pair. Anyway I got a lot of share found messages and occasionally "outdated share found" (sometimes even few of those in a roll) and then "unknown stratum packet: error 32700 parserror ..."

Friend from another forum advised me to use miner for 13.12 drivers in combination with 14.4 drivers so I did... But then, still talking about mining on minergate, I still have "outdated share found" messages and some others, looks like this:

Code:

Also the miner stops mining after some time. What am I doing wrong?
Non-merged mining is also affected with "outdated shares" and the rest, on minergate.
Other pools work as intended and with this combo of 14.4 and 5.1 miner with 13.12 drivers and those two files (forgot to mention them earlier).

Bat file looks like this:
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
NsGpuCNMiner.exe -a 1 -o stratum+tcp://bcn.extremepool.org:7777 -u 23HY3RYpFxyS9WCBKx9fX8LRmhsuvxXazaKKwYi83cBV5wzLcaqtwP6NVnxpvbDzXeX1Qsy5W8ZnpdG Wrw2pG4C6EDv9EXU -p x

[Claymore]

"unknown stratum packet: error 32700 parserror" message:

Minergate has a problem with stratum support, they told me that they are working on it. It's not a bug of the miner.

"outdated share found" message - it's ok, it's not error.

>Also the miner stops mining after some time.

It must restart itself then.

[fr0wn3r]

Wow! Fastest answer I got ever!

Thanks. But do I need to do something so it restarts? In .bat? I know there is a command of some sort but never used it, didn't need it.
And I saw that last "SHARE FOUND" was half an hour ago before I manually restarted it?

Check readme file, "-r" option. By default miner restarts itself automatically if it detects any problem. If it does not work for you, send me log file so I can check the reason.

[fr0wn3r]

Cheers! Will do!

[nrg_wolf]

it seems miner 5.0 wants to start openCl thread hang issue with my Hynix cards......

Try "-li 1" option.

it appears to have slowed down the issue, how ever thread hanging is still happening even with new 5.1 miner. useing windows 7 13.12 drivers. have tried on windows 8 with both 13.12 and 14.6 drivers as well and had the same issue...

But other soft works fine (wolf`s cpu-miner and ccminer - no disconnects at that time).

Hi, can anyone help me please? I cannot get it to start... my .bat file says:

Take pool.bat as start point, start it to check that it works, then change only pool and wallet addresses.
Last time I saw this problem when some guy specified long hyphen instead of short one.
