[BBR] Boolberry GPU Miner Discussion - AMD & Nvidia - OpenCL & CUDA

[pepi]

When the editor opens change "thread_delay" to 2000, save and exit the editor.

This is most important part of whole guide. I lost over 2 hours to configure 2 GPU working together. I try countless number of combination in json file, but no one work. When I put all to "defaults" and change delay to 2000 both card started without any problem.

Good News Everybody!


The Boolberry team has pledged an 1100 BBR bounty to Wolf0 to make the stratum version of the OpenCL GPU miner.

to me 2000 is not enough,some cards didn't working,try 4000 that make all my cards working together...I also have a question,does anyone knows the ATI card mining electricity cost contrast with scrypt or X11?

So why you dont recompile daemon and set that value as default? So many people have problem, and that will be solved with that.

I try to compare X11 and boolberry: with same setup  ( my two 280) has maybe 5% less power. Compared to cryptocoin it is about 15W less per card...

For now, and with this price: mining , on pool or solo is not profitable compared to cryptocoin. If coders can find way to get more hash rate that will be great.

but to me mining bbr is much more profitable than crypocoin,because all my cards is 7850 1G,I can just got about 180-200 hashrate per card(mining crpocoin needs lots of memory,1G is not enough),I'm living in China,in my place electricity price is about 0.15 dollar/kwh,if the bbr mining power cost is like you said,it still have some profit to me

For my two cards: they both have around 315 W so in one day: they use around 1.32 $ and for 18.76 BBR I can get 2.5$ ( so 1$ per day)
when mining crypto ( since both have 3 GB of ram)  then spent 330 W of power: it is 1.42$ per day and can get 3$ so 1.48 $ of profit: or 48% more...

The accurate profit compara：（3-1.42）/（2.5-1.32）= 1.38   38%more for your cards,but for my cards mining bbr is better

did you try solo mining?I found solo mining is really better than pool mining,much more profit!even better than Mining Profits calculatar's results ,but I dont know why,maybe because Im lucky

With 1.7MH/s  I think it insane making solo mining. Must find one or two blocks per day : and only if I had pure luck: i will not find it. And that luck will not last forever
And on pool I will always find 18 BBR/day...
If I can be sure that I will find two block par day that will be different story

okay,I get it,pool mining is your right choice,but solo mining is suit for me cause I have 22mH/s...

Received. Bounty is now 1200 BBR.

It's a half day work at most. Almost everything's done already. I haven't done it personally just because I don't get why everybody needs it (and it's still half day work  ). But offering such bounty... I would do it the same day.

OK. I'll do and post it tomorrow it's late here right now.

Please do. Really, go ahead. I hate OpenCL host code.

so sad,just run after find gpu and got error..



alert minerd.exe is pause

tested with my 750  and 270x,win8 and win7,bbr.farm,my pool,cncoin pool...

mine works fine 4 x r9 290 = 3.5 MHs or 970khs per card ( win8.1 and 2012R2 )

you list two cards, but show 6 miner threads. try not setting any threads or devices.

I'm sorry it's my fault. I compiled the miner with native optimization (it's enabled by default in original Makefile) and it's not compatible with older CPUs. I've updated the binary release.
