Bounty for Open-Sourced XMR/Cryptonight GPU Miner Bounties Thread

[GingerAle]

Bumping the thread in the hopes of attracting more attention to the NVIDIA software development!

With the new software, we could see an increase in hash rate to push the nvidia hardware on par with claymore's AMD miner. This increased hashrate will help secure the network in general, and it will also take more of the hash away from the botnet / sysadmin operators. It's great these guys are securing the network, but at what cost?

furthermore, part of the arrangement with djm34 is to provide some key software architecture improvements independent of hashrate increase. So even if we don't see an increase in hashrate, we will definitely get the following:

1. the ability to solo mine with nvidia GPU. I'm hoping to test this with embedded GPUs as well. that would be awesome.

2. open source, well documented code so we'll hopefully see more development than we've seen with the existing code.

3. much friendlier software - will not require 50 lines of instructions to compile or get working in windows or linux.

Wolf has taken up working on the AMD open source miner. I know there were bounty amounts for that specific task, so this FFS (forum funding system) thread can be used.

please go there and comment it up so it'll move to "funding required"

I see https://forum.getmonero.org/8/funding-required/2355/improved-nvidia-mining-software is fully funded! Good news! Considering you're the fella organising it, any news that you can share with us?

None. djm34 hasn't really said much, unfortunately. Last thing he mentioned he said he was trying to figure out how to make it a solo miner, so at that point he was focused on milestone #1...

[GingerAle]

The AEON crowd has stepwise instructions to compile Wolf's recent miner in linux.

obviously, replace the aeon repository with the XMR repository.

AMD Miner Pledged bounty:

...
-Smooth: 300 XMR

I can't speak for anyone else but my part of the original bounty is still good, so once some people with AMD mining gear have successfuly tested it for regular cryptonight (monero)  I will pay that out to wolf.

can anyone determine whether the new version gets over 500 h/s? screenshots pls.

I got all excited thinking this was the nVidia version.... alas I have no AMD cards to try it on.

Any further news from djm34 about his efforts with the nVidia miner?

[GingerAle]

News bins from wolf. Please post screenshots.

Watching this shiet!

Private optimized  NVIDIA cryptonight kernal for sale. Only 0.1BTC

10% faster. (windows exe)

If I get 2BTC I could work on it some more and release the sourcecode.
I think 20% faster is possible

Wolf's new AMD open source miner, windows binaries:

https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/wolf-xmr-miner-git.zip

the source files are available on his github:

https://github.com/wolf9466/wolf-xmr-miner

needs drivers "15.x - 15.7 or 15.7.1 works well". For a full discussion of testing so far: https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/3yeid4/windows_binaries_of_wolfs_latest_version_gets_550/

If you can, please test the miner and post screenshots of it working. This version gets ~550 h/s on the 290x. Wolf0 has a new version that surpasses Claymore's but he is waiting for payout for the current milestone to release the new one.

I have some AMD (5850, 6950, 7970) GPUs and want to mine some XMR. Do you think it is still profitable to mine XMR at this point?

[GingerAle]

Wolf's latest open source AMD miner. This one gets around 800 h/s on the 290x!!!!

https://www.reddit.com/r/Monero/comments/41cq0q/new_update_to_the_open_source_amd_xmr_miner_has/

Please test out and post screenshots!

If you have free power or believe XMR can go up in value and are willing to hold onto what you mine for awhile.

Doesn't have to be free just cheap. The main obstacle to mining at this point (even with free power for that matter) is the cost of the hardware but if you already have hardware it may be worth it.

I have GTX 750 ti.

Is there a stable Windows exe to download so I can mine?

Thanks
