Claymore's CryptoNote AMD GPU Miner v11.3

[ivanlabrie]

I think no calculator's really accurate, from my experience.
Boolberry has an open source gpu miner now, I'm guessing we'll see one for xmr soon.

i hope so. the fee is starting to hurt my pocket now as well. and the nofee option is a 10% loss per rig vs 5% fee kind of sucks. before i didnt care as it was profitable to mine but now its stings badly.

[bitwolf]

The big problem here is the possibility to manipulate the price with these 5%. And the lack of linux support...

This miner app is pissing me right off, I cannot get any version past 3.4 to run stable without the OS hanging.  I have tried a load of different settings, drivers, underclock's etc and all the same, app crashes and takes out the OS.  My batch file looks like this:

:BEGIN
start "CryptoNote" /low /wait NsGpuCNMiner.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.minexmr.com:7777 -p x -u [XMR Address] -a 2 -wd 1 -ee 1
timeout /t 30
GOTO BEGIN
exit

I have tried both 13.12 and 14.6 drivers, Windows 7 and 8.1, I currently have my tri-x cards underclocked to 947/1250 but it also happens with them at stock clocks, I have 6 cards in each rig and nothing I do seems to fix the hangs in OpenCL call, app crash and then OS hang.

Beyond frustrated.

Anyone running similar set-ups, what OS, drivers, miner version etc?

Please create a Linux version of this app, with the 5% fee you have made from everyone surely should fund a Linux version, or maybe even just open source it and let the community make this application better.

It's not worth going beyond 3.0 for the slim speed bump compared to the hellishly unstable environment it creates. I don't, and am content.

The speed increase and the power reduction are nice though and I would like to be able to take advantage, but this app just crashes out.  What are we paying 5% for if not for further production of the app?

XMR does have open source nVidia GPU miner.

At present, there is no competition, so Claymore can name its price.

We need another miner with higher or same efficiency.

I'm sure other miners exist, but no one is releasing them. There was a bounty to make an open source GPU miner for both Nvidia and AMD, but hardly any money went into the fund.

So for the display driver hackers, they can either make thousands of dollars in profit a day, or give the miner to the community to win a weak bounty.

For everyone in this thread complaining, put your money where your mouth is and make a massive bounty for a comparable open source miner.

Tell me where to send some coin towards a bounty where someone isn't going to run off with it and I'll donate.

No idea, perhaps Wolf will show you? He had a bounty going for a while I think. I think he has some of the most powerful private miners.

how much xmr must be from 2000 hash  at 24 hour?

[Eastwind]

how much xmr must be from 2000 hash  at 24 hour?

Try the calculator

[ozzy1926]

i think we need  M7 PoW miner for amd

[SpeedDemon13]

how much xmr must be from 2000 hash  at 24 hour?

Approximately 2 or so coins at the current state.

[Remember remember the 5th of November]

Data.bin kernel names, K1, K2o, K3. Whatever optimizations there are, are likely in the CPU code, rather than the OpenCL kernel.
Packer used on NsGpuCNMiner.exe is Themida(I've yet to verify).

i would be also very happy about a reduced fee percentage. i know we have a nofee option, but it would be much better to see a dev fee of 2-3%. that is a range, when everybody feels "fine" to contribute to the dev. i think we all agree, that clay deserves some kind of fee as long as he made the only amd miner for cryptonote coins.

but its been running for a really long time with 5% fee. i just feel that it is time for a lowered dev fee.

greetings wex

Sorry for quoting myself, but i changed my mind. After seeing the cuda release for xcn but no amd miner - it really sucks. Without Clay we couldnt even mine monero. And he gave me an update, that he is gonna take a look at xcn in the next few days.

He is doing awesome work and deserves a share of our mining.

Thank you Clay for being such an awesome Coder, without you amd mining would be dead already.

Linux version please...........

I tried your script, it starts the miner every 30s without closing the previous one. So there will be multiple miners running simultaneously.  How do we stop the previous miner and start a new one?

Is it possible to write a script to test if the miner is running smoothly, if not, then stop the miner and start and a new one?

That's not what I get with that script, it starts the miner and then if the -wd 1 option kills the app and restarts is after 30 seconds, I've been using that since version 2 of the miner.

I've now got 2 rigs that just will not stay running on windows 8.1 with either 13.12 or 14.6 drivers and any version of the miner app, I get watchdog: thread {some big number} hangs. exit.....but it doesn't exit and instead takes out the OS, absolute pain in the ass.

Why are we paying a 5% fee if the app doesn't work with certain configurations and there have been no updates, feedback from the dev.  It may work on your system, but is your system like many peoples out there, probably not, and if we are paying a fee then you should be asking questions from people who are having issues with your app.

I have three 7950 rigs that have been hashing away for weeks with no issues yet I have nothing but problems with my tri-x 290 rigs.  I'm about to give up and mine any old shit x1* coin as the only windows miner doesn't work yet I'm paying for the privilege, great....please sort it out.

Are there any plans to implement merge mining soon?

I would like merge mining
