CCminer(SP-MOD) Modded GPU kernels.

TBF wouldn't let me connect (Bad Access) and on hamsterpools whatever diff I try I can't get the pool to show my real hashrate. The closest I could get was with -f 0.01, anything lower means lower hashrate and anything higher introduces low difficulty shares.

I could not get hamsterpool to work at all with any diff settings. All booo's.

I had to use R36 to get it to work at TBF but had to use difficulty 1.

EDIT: The only pool I can get the miner and pool to show the same is yaamp

[sp_]

I submitted a 3% faster keccak my looking at the wolf0 changes in the cryptonight miner and rewriting/optimizing it it to use uint2.

Since Keccak is used in most algos, a small speedup in quark/x11,x13,x14,x15. etc.

The only way to fix this properly is to make a new parameter to autoadjust the diff.
Also a parameter for --No-submit-stale shares.

Maybe later.

QUBIT--

Here is my configuration line for adding Qubit algo to my YAAMP auto-switch batch file for a GTX 960.  This is a 1-line configuration string, broken after the "-p" flag by the blog formatting:

ccminer.exe -r 0 -a qubit -i 19.7 -f .01  -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:4733 -u name -p x11=5.4,x13=4.2,x14=4.1,x15=3.6,quark=9.8,lyra2=0.7,fresh=6.1,qubit=7.9

Without the "-f 0.01" flag, the algo does not mine, I get long successions of "boos".  Even with it, I am only mining at about 72% to 73% accepts.  I get a lot of "Low Difficulty Share" rejects, and long strings of "result does not validate on CPU".  

The algo has been best-paying several times today.       --scryptr

YAAMP ROUND-ROBIN CONFIGURATION--

The following is a working Windows Batch File for a GTX 960 using the yaamp auto-switch.  The "-r 0" flag allows yaamp to cycle through algorithms until the high-paying algorithm is served up.  The long "password" should be comma separated and have no spaces except immediately after the "-p".  Each line is broken by the formatting process on this blog after the "-p" password flag.  I inserted 1 extra blank line between each 1-line command statement for clarity.

There is no such simple solution on Linux, primarily because BASH does not have a goto command.  Save this text as "looper.bat".  Code follows:

:loop

ccminer.exe -r 0 -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3533 -u name -p x11=5.4,x13=4.2,x14=4.1,x15=3.6,quark=9.8,lyra2=0.7,fresh=6.1

@ sp have you ever looked into scrypt chacha/jane high n factor algos?

Atm nf 15 and 16 for yac and utc is relevant.

Shouldn't be too much work to look at cuz it is just a single algo like sha256 or scrypt.

The last working miner is now nearly one year old from february 2014 called cudaminer.

Use Miner Control to switch between YAAMP and/or other pools, and more specifically, try my mod of it
This will allow you to setup your own hashrates. You can delete the other pools in the .conf if you only need YAAMP.

I think cudaminer does 0.37MHASH on a 750ti Even if manage to optimize it 300% to 1MHASH it is still 6 times less profitable than other algos. f,eks quark.
IMHO a waste of time to optimize it.

So for those of you who are still mining Scrypt with cudaminer, you can get a 1800% higher return if you switch to quark sp-mod(release 38).

sp_ if I read this right he pointed his wish to scrypt chacha & scrypt jane coins which are not that unprofitable as scrypt.
a single 750ti could make above 500hash/s on nf16 (YAC) which was some weeks ago the best deal arround here.
AMD sucked at this time because they had no optimized miner. But this changed.

yep the question was about scrypt chacha/jane algos

Yes, I though he ment Normal Scrypt. When the 750ti came out last year I bought a few and started mining scrypt. The price of the 750 ti was around the same a gridseed ASIC scrypt miner. The gridseed used less power than the TI, so it would seem more profitable to buy. Both had a hashrate of around 350KHASH.

Now one year later the TI is producing 18 times more money than the asic gridseed scrypt.

Just think about this the next time you order a ASICminer.

If you want to support the development, please donate and recieved my private spreadcoin miner. I hope to release 6 this weekend with more hashing power. Free to the donators.

The GTX750 (non ti) has only got 512 cuda cores, while the gtx750ti has got 640 cores. A radeon 280x has 2048 cores.


But the 512 core gtx beats the 2048 core AMD:


http://cryptomining-blog.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/sph-sgminer-fresh-windows-580x301.jpg

I have two Sapphire Toxic R9 280X cards with Hynix GDDR5 memory on board.
I overvoltaged them upto 1.3 V and set 1240 MHz for core and 1850 MHz for memory.
I use cgminer 5.1.0 with radeon drivers 4.7 RC3 installed.
Each card produces 5 MH/s

In order to raise tangible funds to motivate GPU miner devs, I am now hosting a donation address for Bitcoin.

1K6cUbtsn5xinD8XfjnTn7UnsMriLhZaGD

The first GPU miner to be created (AMD or Nvidia) and published under an open source license will receive all the money from this fund.

I'm putting in 0.25 BTC of my own money. I encourage everyone to donate what you can to help make this a lucrative bounty.
