hello what the difference between wildkeccak_ocl and wildkeccak_ocl_multistep at pool opencl miner ?

Try both and see which one is faster. I found multistep slower on all my GPUs.

Hey guys, is it possible to mine straight into an exchange wallet? because every one I try says that it needs the Payment ID, and idk how to put that into the miner to tell it to send my coins to that payment ID

Every exchange of every cryptocoin I've used, tells you to not mine directly into your deposit address. They probably have good reasons for it. So I see your "how?" and I raise a "why?".

[FaceRadiation]

Well, I do it pretty often. I know it's a bad idea but it's just to test because I'd rather do that than download the entire damn blockchain

Whats the best miner for Nvidia cards at the moment please?

Was the scratchpad size limitation ever changed in wolf's bbr-cudaminer?

[teknohog]

It's easy to change in the source. Look for "64<<20" in miner.h -- it means 64*2^20 so incrementing the 20 will have the most effect. For example

Code:

sed -Ei 's/64<<20/64<<24/' miner.h

can we have please for Windows with fix of WILD_KECCAK_SCRATCHPAD_BUFFSIZE?
I am missing out mining this coin for a long time
could mine it with my laptop's gpu in the past

[SalimNagamato]

hmm ! this one seem to work

Would an AMD 5XXX series GPU work with this?

I've been mining happily with a 5870 at 1 GHz. The algo is easy on the GPU, so high freqs are generally OK. The rate is about 585 khash/s.

Hi sir, I just read this post of yours, could you give your config for bbr mining with 5870? Because I have this old card too but have been unable to use it for mining, my rig is ubuntu 14.04 with standard driver fglrx. The error says invalid memory size. Strangely my ubuntu rig only detect the 5870's ram is 512Mb not 1024Mb. But on windows 7 rig, the 5870 card has no problem at all and ramsize detected correctly. I want to use it with linux since linux is very easy to be installed on usb thumbdrive.

Thank you in advance.

I downloaded this miner only to have problems with it. just keeps saying wild_keccak.cl not found same with multi. not sure how everyone got it to work but seems broken.

Sorry about the delay. There's no particular config for BBR on this card, besides the frequencies -- I used 1000 MHz for both GPU core and video memory. It's hard to say anything about the problems you describe, especially as I don't have my 5870 any more.

Hi, I am trying to mine with the MBK mining pool but the miner cannot seem to find scratchpad:

fstat error from ........\Local\boolberry/scratchpad.bin: No such file or directory

So it tries to download your scratchpad:

Downloading scratchpad....
Scratchpad downloaded OK.

And then it errors from it:

file .......\Local\boolberry/scratchpad.bin size invalid (195669952), max=zu
Failed to load scratchpad data after downloading, probably broken scratchpad link, please restart miner with correct inital scratcpad link(-k or --scratchpad )

Do you have any idea on how to fix this?

Any help is appreciated.

ps: I am on the latest software.

HI MBK.
Can you fix the WILD_KECCAK _BUFFSIZE please, so we can solo mining.
thank you.

[sorryforthat]

Does anyone mind sharing a compiled CUDA for windows? It would be greatly appreciated

Have Someone tried with the rx 480? What's yours hashrate?
