Unfinished CryptoNight OpenCL (AMD) miner

[nrg_wolf]

5% fee doesn't bother me from Claymore's miner, but the performance could be %50 or more would be more satisfactory....

Anyone having some success in compile a better version for CryptoNight algo? Even in alpha form?

I'd get on optimizing this one if it was working. Wish there was someone else with OCL knowledge.

there has to be someone that know's OCL coding.... this forum is full of coders and yet almost no1 wants to stand up and help.....

[braxx]

try pm user "reorder" (from 1GH.com) he upgraded heavycoin & mjollnircoin amd miners

maybe you can convince him to help... he is good

I think a donation fee is ok. Its fair to give developer a share, and this way everyone donates proportional to their "income".

5% is not okay though because we have electricity to pay for too ...

Why not?!
A miner which gives you 2x the speed of regular one (if any!) and you think 5% is too much?
Don't use it then.
Its a win-win for the developer AND users. Until better way to reward devs is found
 

we have to cover electricity costs 5% is too much and he charges that much because he knows we don't have any other option, if i'm not going to profit (electricity is 80% of my mining revenue + 5% dev fee + 2% pool fee) after paying for electricity then what is the point .....

also 2 x faster 100 x faster difficulty will normalize that when everybody starts using that miner

devfee should never be over 1 ~ 2 % as a maximum because tons of users will be using that miner and hash for him at no electricity cost so why be greedy, i mean the dev will still end with a huge amount of electricity free hashes ...

Honestly, a dev for a miner will get more at 2% or lower dev fee, because people will more likely give a donation that will surpass the 5% from the richer miners/investors. This is my opinion though.

 

Noooooooooope.

+1   (actually those who give aren't generally the big whale (who have to pay their electricity bill and pool fee... good one  ) but rather the small users, or some coin supporters in some case... the community doesn't show a lot its appreciation... )

look u r going to defend the 5% fee and then u come here and talk oh come on even the op doesn't agree with such a high fee ... that is pure GREED period !

(what about free speech ?!)
I don't agree with it either (otherwise I wouldn't opensource anything), however I understand it a bit, in view of the donation (from large whale)
Now concerning the pure "greed", why do you think anybody would run 100 or more gpu on a coin ? To get free heat ?

No, mostly because it brings money. (and nobody has stopped mining because the fee were too high...) and at that level there is nothing wrong with sharing a bit with those who make that possible but the donation system is a bit broken...,
Opensource is just equivalent to free stuff we find on the internet in people mind... not code we can improve

I'd be happy with Wolf0 having a dev fee as long as the miner was the most efficient.
I do think 5% is a bit much, but I do use Claymore's so...guess it's not too much for me lol.
I also donated directly to Wolf0 all my week's mining with the first stock CPU miner, as I then got around 1.8x faster once I switched and was sooo happy.
Now though, the only profitable method for me is GPU, and I just got some CPUs sitting here idle.

Still messing with the opencl, but there's no point in having a dev fee if it's open source.

If you auto build it into the config how p2pool used to.  Plus built binaries with it already configured I think you'd be surprised by how many miners never actually bother to change it.

[cayars]

release binary only with source to follow 30 days after "testing" period?

[giveBTCpls]

What hashrates are going getting with your computers? It could be nice to have a list with the hashrates depending on what you are using to mine, because I think it's not worth it for me to mine anymore, and I don't have the time to test it.

[matthewh3]

I've asked the pool - https://minergate.com - to support a bounty for development of this miner - https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=528848.msg8233693#msg8233693

Edit:  Maybe you could work with Minergate only having the binaries for so long.  So that you could both see a return from its development before fully opensourcing it for the community.

Made it compile, it was that -lOpenCL should go after the object file being compiled (order matters)
Corrected some ulong* casts in the opencl file but it does not run yet, or at least is not reporting what is doing, gotta dig inside a little more to understand how the opencl code is called and it's results returned so i can debug it.

move -lOpenCL to the end of the commandline.

Is there any progress on miner

No. I think that we need some kind of funding to push the project forward
