[ANN] AEON: Scalable, private, mobile-friendly cryptocurrency

[cryptrol]

Win64 AMD gpu miner update:
With the above parameters (two posts above), the GPU driver crashes after some time and mining stops.
Too unstable to use at the moment.

[Arux]

I'm on Mint 17.2. I've installed GCC 4.9 and followed your instructions, but get this after running make:

Code:

...../wolf-aeon-miner/main.c:735: undefined reference to `clCreateCommandQueueWithProperties'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Hi There,

I had the same thing.  I think this points to having an older openCL sdk installed than is required.

It is possible to build it using by changing the function names to that used in the older openCL releases, and it does link and build.  But then the actual opencl code give errors during execution.

Probably best to upgrade to latest SDK (note - I haven't because it was such a pain to do it on my headless rig, and it's nice and stable mining other currencies at the moment).

Cheers

Dave

just a guess, it seems that gcc takes libOpenCL directly at /usr/lib/fglrx/libOpenCL.so (from fglrx package) instead of ./lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so (from AMDAPPSDK-3.0 extraction)
i compiled from a system without fglrx and i didn't have this error.

try to force using ./lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so with -Wl,./lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so to LIBS in the makefile.

Code:

CC		= gcc
LD		= gcc
CFLAGS 	= -D_POSIX_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -O0 -ggdb3 -std=c11 -pthread -c -I./include/
LDFLAGS	= -pthread -O0 -ggdb3
LIBS	= -ljansson -Wl,./lib/x86_64/libOpenCL.so -ldl

you can also try to use libOpenCL.so1 instead of libOpenCL.so but i don't think it will be necessary.

Thanks for the help folks. Got it working.

Arux, you were correct, bar a small typo (missing the SDK directory). My libs line looks like:

LIBS   = -ljansson -Wl,./lib/x86_64/sdk/libOpenCL.so -ldl

[BoscoMurray]

Without making any changes to default settings or clocking the card, my 7950 is giving 343 H/s

[Arux]

@BoscoMurray: thanks for feedback and good test. i edit my previous instructions

I built the win64 version of the AMD gpu miner.

i've tried a cross-compilation from linux (x86_64-w64-mingw32-gcc 4.9) but it fails

Code:

i give up
i will try windows native compilation later

I'm getting about 940 H/s on a gtx 970, is that any good?

I dont think so, my fx does 850.

what power usage? the 970 is at half power, about 100W.

Thats about the same as an cpu.

Looks about right pallas, since that is roughly double the performance for that same card on regular cryptonight.
Note that the high end nvidias do not hash particularly well with either version (cryptonight or cryptonight-light), the best performance per core and performance per watt are by far in favor of the 750TI. Maybe you could fix this? 

Sidenote: IIRC, djm34 is already working on improving the cryptonight ccminer base. Once that is done, an improved cryptonight-light version should be fairly easy to build.

that could be fun; but if I work on it I'd like to use it as well, and with the current profitability it's a no go.
you'd much better save electricity and buy AEONs.

[myagui]

No disagreement here!

I don't know how active djm34 is on that project. Im not saying that one could hijack the pitch, but he's blown through all of his proposed timelines.

just saw it... IMHO the aeon one looks much better ;-)

[smooth]

Probably yes. But mining the coin is also important in order to decentralize the hash rate and improve security. The current situation with low concentrated hash rate is a negative that probably weights on the value and makes the future uncertain.

So if you are investing or otherwise supporting the coin please consider mining to a lower-hash rate pool (not minergate) and/or solo mining.

I guess that the hashrate centralisation and low profit for gpu issues both are due to botnets and people having a lot of pc mining for them at no cost.
Maybe VTC made a good choice when they changed Lyra2RE to Lyra2REv2 to favor gpus over cpus.
