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

[Quicken]

No command line "-l". Default 40x8. Tried 80x8 and 40x16, but they were worse. Surely Windows can't be nerfing the GPU so badly?

Update. I read a post here:
http://www.holynerdvana.com/2014/07/mining-cryptonote-coins-with-nvidia.html
and started playing around with the -l switch. On Windows 8.1 this makes a massive difference. With 750 ti, switching to -l 8x32 boosts performance to the expected 200+ H/s. Night and day difference. Other settings may improve that further, but that's a reasonable starter for 8.1 miners.
Edit: best combo so far found: -l 8x30 for 260 H/s.
Cheers, Q

i suggest all the people who have problems with ccminer-cryptnight post a issue on the github repo

Amazing spot pricing on AWS g2 instances right now, $0.077/hr.  I think one is good for about 200hps with tsiv.

I tried, but it says "Maximum Spot Instance Count Exceeded" and fails to launch the instance.

Is there a pre-existing XMR bounty wallet for the ATI miner?

If not, perhaps HardwarePal could make one, publish the view key?  I don't want to hold it, just send to it.

I think smooth was collecting, but if HardwarePal is hiring someone directly then that would probably be okay, so long as the view key is published. Maybe we should check with smooth to see if he's collected anything? It doesn't seem like anyones working on this bounty besides HardwarePal, so my part of the ATI bounty still stands to be claimed by what's being worked on (150 XMR - Keyboard-Mash), and it looks like Tsiv will be claiming the Nvidia miner bounty. Tsiv can you please provide an XMR address and viewkey here?

I have a an XMR address up on the Github project  page, no viewkey though. If you need one I guess I can always create a new wallet for it, seeing as I can't figure out how to get the viewkey for an existing wallet. Apparently it is only shown once on wallet creation and if you ignored it (I did, didn't even know such a thing existed) you're out of luck? Another curve ball by the XMR wallet, they just keep coming

[tsiv]

I promised a bounty for the Nvidia miner even though all my Nvidia cards are in the cupboard  
Post a BTC donation address tsiv so I can send my share (0.2BTC as listed)

Any chance somebody tried the Gtx580 or Gtx680 I have 2 of each which I might slap on a system if worthwhile

Tsiv donations and updates

Sent my promised 0.2BTC now  (0.20133330 to be exact)

Thaaank you, sir, received and much appreciated.

And a crosspost from the CudaMiner/ccMiner thread:

Aaand I'm back. Had to focus a bit on shit I've been neglecting lately, including but not limited to my actual job and sleep 

Say bye to (most of) the lag on Windows if you're willing to take a slight hit in performance. Basically I'm now splitting the heaviest part of the Cryptonight core into smaller batches with a little sleep between launching the batches. The default is still no splitting and no sleeping on Linux, on Windows it gets split into 64 batches with 100 microseconds sleep between the batches. Both values can be set on the command line per-device. I'm running it as I type this and while there is still noticeable lag, it's not too bad. The performance hit is pretty negligible on the defaults, something like 5 H/s. Well, on my system anyway.

Latest win32 binary at https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight/releases/tag/v0.14 and source at https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight as you might expect.

I did not collect anything for this bounty. I collected for the pool bounty (already awarded) and GUI bounty (not yet awarded).

I did personally pledge toward both the ATI and nv bounties. As far as I'm concerned tsiv has earned the nv bounty and it should be paid once someone steps forward to manage the process (I can do it but not for the next week or so) or unless someone has a counterargument.

Where exactly is an official thread with detail and setup/manual etc. for a GUI miner? Also shouldn't the miner work on all NV cards?

All cards? I'd say no. A good range if widely available cards is good enough.

As for the official thread with instructions etc. good question.

[smooth]

I'm planning to go ahead and send my 300 XMR pledge to tsiv for his nv miner. If anyone has any reason why I should not do this (for example, critical pieces of code or documentation are incomplete or missing) then please speak up now. I haven't been following the development that closely so I don't know the details beyond that he seems to have delivered a genuinely useful miner.

As of today I'll be considering the bounty for the Nvidia GPU miner to be fulfilled by Tsiv. It seems as if it's in widespread use and there are few problems. Thank you very much for your effort!

Tsiv: The bounty addresses below will be used. It seems that the BTC part (.2 BTC) has already been paid by HardwarePal.

XMR: 42uasNqYPnSaG3TwRtTeVbQ4aRY3n9jY6VXX3mfgerWt4ohDQLVaBPv3cYGKDXasTUVuLvhxetcuS16 ynt85czQ48mbSrWX
BTC: 1JHDKp59t1RhHFXsTw2UQpR3F9BBz3R3cs


There will be no collection, and everyone who has pledged should just send to those addresses and then post the tx info here if you'd like.

Why isn't the donation addressees in the OP?

Just popping in to confirm having received the BTC part from HardwarePal a while back and the 150 and 300 XMR from kbm and smooth respectively. Cheers, gents.

There has been no collection done for this bounty. Everything so far has been done by pledges on the honor system, with payments directly to the eventual winner.
