Windows 64 bit miner

I have updated this with a newer, smaller, slightly faster minerd.exe and it performs better with multiple threads too.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/ydk8z59wwgysh1e/Spexx-Wolf0-V2-generic-Win64-XMGminerd.zip

It is around 1.5 percent faster than the previous offering.

I have tried to build something for AVX and AVX2 instruction set support but I get a slightly slower minerd.exe when I do that. It is really quite odd!

This latest miner code responds to compiler flags in a completely different way to the earlier code. I do not know if this would work for Linux but I get faster code using -Os than with -Ofast.

Happy hashing

This one is a beast   Getting 67KHash/s on my i7 3610QM, not that that is a laptop processor

EDIT: And yet I get 56.5Khash/s using only 5 of my 8 threads...  This should mean I could get about 80 running full speed, no?

Keep them coming spexx , thank You 

Great vid guys, thanks for sharing

LOL Quite impressive! Another proof that this project have proffesional hard working team and a bright future!!
Keep the good job guys!! I'm with you!

This one is a beast  

I agree. With the improved miners from wolf0 and Joe I doubled my hashrate but yours gets the most out of my crappy old AMD without the problem with the 2 others that my windows gets problems. Spexx, you're a f*cking genius 

That deserves some donations!

No, unfortunately, not quite. With 5/8 running there is very little competition for CPU time and you will see a high hashrate per thread. As you load up towards the maximum 8/8 then the hashrate per thread will reduce a bit, although running 8/8 will give you maximum total hashrate.

your first miner is still the fastest one on haswells , but only if you load 8 instances for 8 threads this one is fastest one if you load only one instance for 8 threads , but it gives me 2 more khash on phenom than your first one, i need to test on others

I got a i5 2500 @ ~4,5ghz. right now i am getting ~55khs/s, is that normal or is there a way to improve my rate?

Thanks for the feedback, which is always appreciated.

Yeah that first 64 bit one built with Cygwin64 was not bad at all, except for the multiple threads issue and all the required dll files. This latest version matches the performance without the issues. I will be playing around with AVX and AVX2 support to see what I can do to improve matters there.

I just received some very generous donations. Thank you! I love this coin

[The Frisian]

the block amount is already gone down,
because of the new miners, i suppose

Is that overclocked?

I would expect you to be able to get a bit more out of it than 55 Kh/s. What operating system do you have and what minerd are you using?

thats 13,75 per core thats faster than any amd per core at that clock i5 4690k is hashing 15 per core at 4.6 ghz
i think thats about that but i cant be sure i dont have that cpu, i think that hyperthreaded intels are best with these miners although they have same number of physical cores they give 35/40% better hash.

Any way to check via the command line?  Didn't see anything in the header files.

USE: getinfo, and locate a line "expected time ...", notice the expected time is only an estimate.

There is no "expected time..." line in the getinfo output...

yes it's overclocked, iam on widows 8.1 and iam using your latest 64 bit miner. Would -e cpu_efficiency improve anything

I think Joe meant to say use getmininginfo

Well done!!!

Welcome new official promo movie of MAGI? I would say YES

No. The -e option is default 100 percent and can only be set to something less. I don't think that the version of source code that I used includes this option anyway. I have an external application that creates the same effect - the XMG Miner Speed Controller :-

https://www.dropbox.com/s/wbtmlktiy32b3xw/XMGMinerSpeed.exe

This is a self-extracting zip file which will unzip to C:\XMGminer\MinerSpeed by default. When unzipped, run the Setup.bat file which creates a startup script and a Desktop icon for you.

EDIT: That overclocking looks extreme. Are you sure that the CPU is not "throttling" due to over-temperature? The miner pushes your CPU to the limit.

2nd EDIT: You might also try running multiple instances of minerd.exe with a single thread each, as opposed to a single instance of minerd.exe with multiple threads. There is a measurable difference.

Nice lump of cheap XMG on Poloniex right now. 5300 seems a very fair price.

[ulfie]

I will take some of that.

[Spexx]

I will take some of that.

Had a bite myself. No BTC left to buy any more

[ihascryptos]

XMG speed controller is great!  tried it on my old dual core E6600 machine.  set it to 85% speed and it keeps the temps down. My 1st core likes to overheat.

Great program.
