strange, but I actually get lower rates with 1.2 on RX480 8G with Uber 3.1 mem timings
(running with -g 2 -w 64 -X 256 --benchmark)

X16r Avermore-1.1 8.4 mh
X16r Avermore-1.2 7.743 mh

X16s Avermore-1.1 8.366 mh
X16s Avermore-1.2 7.711 mh

Interesting. Can you compare the Hamsi kernel hashrates between 1.1 and 1.2? (run with --benchmark-sequence=BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB). It's possible some of the changes I made caused regressions in cards other than the RX580.

Pool-side, I'm getting way under my shown hashrate in Avermore. For instance, currently, Avermore is showing 5.6mh/s but my pool is showing 2.7mh/s. I see this often, though I've never seen my miner go that low. This isn't happening with my Nvidia miners on the same pool.

Check valid share percentage.

I'm not getting any rejections, if that's what you're asking.

Hey everyone,

I just made a new release: Avermore v1.2

Made some major improvements to the Hamsi kernel (+35%), with a 4% improvement in the overall average hashrate.

I'm now getting 7.8-8 MH/s average on my test rig's RX580 (up from 7.5 MH/s).

As always, feedback and reporting of issues is highly appreciated.

Great thank you!
Good to see someone spending time on optimizing X16r for AMD.
Next please optimize AMD Vega Cheesy

yes vega all the way / with vega frontair i get 13mh avg .now i wiil test 1.2 and see for improvment.

Is it possible to change the difficulty? I've got an AMD card running Avermore, and Nvidia running RavenMiner. Both these cards get the same hashrate, but because of the pool difficulty, my AMD isn't producing shares. RavenMiner let me override the difficulty, and it's sitting where I want it to. Just need that on this end now.

yiimp type pools (like ravenminer.com) support setting difficulty in the password field with "d=xxx" and usually you don't need to set it in the miner

Thanks for the tip!

I like this miner, but it's sad that it isn't compatible with mining rental services. Avermore doesn't switch from dev pool to mining rental pool when there's no work on that pool available (doesn't get into idle state).

Add some kernels to my fork: https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-gm-x16r/releases/tag/5.5.5-x16r-2, now it is 2-4% faster than previous release

Did a fork of this miner https://github.com/KL0nLutiy/sgminer-gm-x16r, must be 1-2% faster

Sure buddy. You can get out now.

Actually it is open source and you could change whatever you don't like and compile it

And now it easier because you can do it in Visual Studio

Does wrapping everything in a VS project and copying other people's kernel work justify completely removing Brian's fee? How would you feel if I removed YOUR fee and put back Brian's? Nobody uses your miner anyway, so I'd rather donate the original author instead of you.

I making it opensource, not like others: copy someones work and making private miners. You could use just Brian's miner or recompile mine with Brian's wallet. I am a very newbie in making miners. It is my first experience. I just want to have a motivation to learning in this area. You are right that almost nobody using my miner. But if even one person will use, I know that my efforts are not in vain.

Even if only for making it compile in VS, you do deserve credit

Haven't tested the miner yet, though...
