[ANN][Groestl/MyriadGroestl] Pool closed

[srcxxx]

Version 1.2.4 of grs-sgminer is now avaiable. See https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=652849 for details.

R9 290 speed increased from 17.1 MH/s to 17.9 MH/s. Other GPUs should get a similar boost.

* now you need to use "-k optimized" if you want to use the optimized kernel.
* lookup-gap and thread-concurrency parameters are now removed. They were only needed for scrypt mining anyways.

PS: Future plans are adding myriad-groestl optimized support

270x on 14.6 driver,use "-k optimized"  get HW,no WU,why?

If you provided more info, like your command line, it would have been easier to pinpoint the problem.

I assume that you are using the wrong server. Optimized only works with cryptohunger.com ports 50001 and up. Please reread the 1st post.

[srcxxx]

hi, it should there be a problem with the new site because I mine for a week but I do not get anything in my wallet since 20/06.
I utilsait version 1 of the optimized kernel but I just upgrade to version 2 can be my problem be solved?

Do you get any accepted shares in your sgminer?
Perhaps you only get rejects?
What is your hashrate? What is your command line?

Please either post here or PM me and I'll look into this (I can check logs on server)

Hi!

Thank you for notifying about this.

The payout job got stuck. Now fixed and all payouts should have come through.

Looking for a good how-to for windows 7 and grs-sgminer.

I normally mine on ubuntu 12.04 but wanted to try out windows 7 see if I could improve the hashing of my 280x cards. I installed Windows 7 and 13.12 AMD drivers. Also downloaded sgr-sgminer and configured the conf file. Unfortunatelly only 3 cards are recognised out of 4 and none seem to be hashing.

Did I forget to install anything else?

I was mining 48h in your dokdo pool with the optimized groestl kernel and works fine and very fast..., but i calculate the fee and..., are you sure that is 0.8% instead 8% ? i can show my numbers if you like.

I'm not sure what 0.8% fee you are referring to.

You are paid for your hashrate. The hashrate that is displayed in sgminer in "optimized" mode is already multiplied by the fee (so yes, the card is actually hashing a bit faster than what is displayed).

Hi!

I have two R9 290 rigs. One is 14.6 beta on Windows and the other is 13.12 on BAMT linux.
Windows is much faster (I just can't figure out how to update the driver on BAMT).

But in theory you should be getting the same speed in Ubuntu and Windows, since 13.12 are the best drivers for R9 280X.

Please provide more info. Like command line, the exact error you're getting, etc.

Thanks

Hi there,

I can provide more info tonight as I am in the office now. But the bottom end of my question was if, apart from windows 7 + drivers + sgminer was there any other software/dependencies that I needed to install to start mining?

For now I just wanted to make sure I've got all in place before even troubleshooting mining issues (which in theory I can normally figure out myself).

As a side note I am only getting 4.7Mh out of my 280x cards while mining DMD on ubuntu 12.04, reason why I was tempted to make a Windows 7 install see if hashing could be improved. What I've seen in the google doc shared document is that 280x cards get around 7Mh and depending the brand even up to 14Mh.

Right now I'm stuck in limbo because my linux install is on a USB Drive.  I installed Windows on a separate Hard Drive. As stated above things didn't work so I wanted to revert to my linux install. I unplugged my HD and plugged my USB Drive linux back and for some reason it doesn't want to boot. Anyways I need to make this work soon enough.

Your hashrate in sgminer is already multiplied by the pool fee. There is no other fee on top of it. There are no transaction fees either.
You are paid for the amount of MH/s you're getting in sgminer. Nothing less and nothing more.

Possible to get these to work with danbi's pool?

Sure. I'm getting 16.7MH/s on R9 290 using "groestlcoin" kernel. "Optimized" is still faster, of course.

Diamondcoin (16.7 MH/s on R9 290): sgminer.exe -k groestlcoin -o stratum+tcp://dmdpool.digsys.bg:3333 -u whatever -p whatever -I 22 -w 256 --normal-hashing true

I personally can't use the groestlcoin kernel. All shares get rejected.

All this is on ubuntu 12.04. Normally my cards are undervolted for other coins but for DMD I had to bring the voltage back to 1.2V in order to maximise hashing. Even had to overlock a bit from 1100Mhz to 1200Mhz.

What you guys think? Seems low to me.

[srcxxx]

For all people that have problems - I highly recommend that you try the example command lines. They work 100%.
Once you see that it does work, you can move on to playing with other settings.

As for the problem in your config...
You are using kernel "diamond". There is no such thing in grs-sgminer.
You should use kernel "groestl" or "optimized". For diamondcoin, you should set "normal-hashing" to true. Please read the 1st post for details.

I did read the OP. I simply got confused with the miner names and didn't realise that grs was a fork of sph. I am currently using Danbi's sph-sgminer in which there is indeed a diamond kernel.

I guess I'll have to try out grs-sgminer see if that improves hashing. Just bored of having to continuously compile miners and all the related config that goes with them in order to make the rig autonomous.

As for the "normal-hashing" paramenter. It is not included in the example.conf file provided in the windows build as you mention in the OP. Should it be like this:?

Code:

"normal-hashing" : true,

Finally, and please don't take this the wrong way, but providing those binary files in the built is not a good idea for several reasons. One of them being that each GPU even same model GPUs behave differently due to the fact that each memory chip is different thus making your binary only truely efficient for your cards.

I doubt that payouts are not working, because I'm mining on this pool myself.

I don't think so. Memory is not currently used in the miner at all.

But it'll be interesting to read about this. Please send a link if you have it. Thanks
