nice. going to try this on my RX480. pitty my 1070s does 12.5mhs for 150w so not sure if there will be much of an uptake if power is worst

Hi sorry for reviving and old thread, But i am really curious how you were able to hit 12.5Mhs for 150w on a 1070 please. I have not been able to get close to that on 1070 ti's.

Hi,

How are you?

I am getting this error.

[15:06:42] Started sgminer 5.5.5-aeris
[15:06:42] * using Jansson 2.11
[15:06:42] Loaded configuration file sgminer.conf
[15:06:42] Specified platform that does not exist
[15:06:42] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
[15:06:42] All devices disabled, cannot mine!

Try with

Code:

"gpu-platform" : "0"

Also, I recommend intensity 21 instead 22 for your RX 480

why setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0

and not
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 1

?

This algo doesn't require huge amount of memory. Setting GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR to 1 could potentially hurt performance since memory access would require twice the number of clock cycles.

I also believe it is redundant to set this to 1 with reasonably new drivers.
I'm using GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=0 for at least half a year and am yet to find a miner/algo that didn't work with that on RX480 in windows 10 (and I believe I have tried almost every miner/algo for AMD available)

If anyone successfully have working this with AMD please give their details.... software ver. batch file and .conf file details.

Thanks,

I tried to PM you but you didn't configure your account to accept PMs from newbies (I'm still a newbie with this account). You can enable this in Profile -> Personal Message Options -> Allow newbies to send you PMs.

Could you try to run the miner with the following command line?

Code:

sgminer -k x17 -o pool -u user -p password --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --intensity 21 2>log.txt

That will generate a log.txt file in the folder you run the command. Copy and paste the contents of that file and send it to my by PM so I can examine it.
Also, it would be helpful if you could take a screenshot and upload it to this image hosting website, and send me the link so I can have a look when the miner pauses.

New post -> upload images

Unfortunately I don't have discord or Skype accounts. Sorry.

nice. going to try this on my RX480. pitty my 1070s does 12mhs for 150w so not sure if there will be much of an uptake of power is worst

Power consumption is greatly affected by settings. My RX580 at 1200MHz@900mv core, 2050MHz memory does ~6.9MH/s drawing 100.9W measured with a clamp-on ammeter (from PSU, add ~10% from the wall).
In the other hand, my old RX470 at 1100MHz@950mv core, 1875MHz memory does 5.9MH/s drawing 98.4W.

New version v0.2:
+4% performance

Do you have plans to support/improve other algos? We miss a sgminer like tvuprot's ccminer, with a great performance for most algorithms. My AwesomeMiner have around 10 differents sgminers, one for each algorithm Lips sealed

I plan to add more algos in the future, but it will take me some time.

My test rig has both AMD and Nvidia so I had to add the platform switch. I hope this helps.

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
sgminer -k x17 -o stratum+tcp://X17.mine.zpool.ca:3737 -u BTCADDRESS -p {name},c=BTC --gpu-platform 2 --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --intensity 21
pause

The result are ok. 6.9mhs for 140w at the wall. not the 11.5mhs for 120w on the 1070's but might be more profitable than other algo's right now. Let hope the Pornhub news keeps verge pumping

looks promising, I will definitely test it
now downloading the miner, my rig is a mix of some rx570 and vega card and I wonder will the miner work ok on it ?
I guess only test will tell, later today I will post feedback once I choose the pool to mine verge, by the way any advice on it?

yiimp.eu is a good pool to mine Verge, but it got saturated the last time Verge raised (way too many people jumped in).

zpool.ca is a also a good pool and, in fact, more rewarding due to mine the most profitable X17 coin(s), and you can get paid in Verge if they're actively mining it (they are at the moment), which usually results in more XVG paid per MH/s.

The BAT example I included in the miner uses zpool.ca for this reason. Just make sure you leave c=XVG as password and use your XVG address as username to get paid in Verge.

not working with the parameters posted.

RX580 windows 10, adrenaline 18.3.4 drivers in compute mode. tried it on my test system with a single 580 in it.

i get a switching to devpool at startup, and then sgminer errors out.

I'll try again on the next version.

Try with --gpu-threads 1, some systems can't run 2 threads per GPU. Also, sometimes the miner doesn't start properly after first execution (due to first compilation), but it works as expected from there.

The miner switches to devpool at startup just to open the connection (and keeps it open), then switches back to user pool.

Undeads.com - P2E Runner Game

Tested on RX480 produces 5.5Mh/s on a standard BIOS without changing memory timings and overclocking. I run the miner itself without using the bat file. The pool shows a speed of 8.1Mh/s. later I will try with optimized timings.
Upd. If you use settings from a bat file hashrate rise to 6.3Mh/s

Hello everyone,

This is the first version of the Aeris sgminer for the X17 algorithm.

Specs:

RX 570/580 Hashrate: 5.9~6.9Mh/s depending on model/memory/oc settings (stock ~5.9MH/s, Stock with memory Mods ~6.9MH/s).
RX Vega Hasrate: 11~12MH/s.
2% devfee.

This miner is based on sgminer-gm-5.5.5, but the source code is not available for now (let the war against me begin).
For the time being, I want to keep the ASM kernels I'm making (they are not great yet, but they'll improve), but I will eventually release the source code.

The devfee is 15 seconds of every 750 seconds, starting 60 seconds after the miner starts.
Unfortunately for now, if multiple pools are specified, only the first one is used.

Set the following enviroment variables (windows code example)

Code:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Recommended settings for RX 570/580 cards:

Code:

sgminer -k x17 -o pool -u user -p password --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --intensity 21

Recommended settings for RX Vega cards:

Code:

sgminer -k x17 -o pool -u user -p password --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --intensity 22

Use less intensity for slower cards (i.e. 19-20 for cards that mines at 2~4MH/s).
Some systems can't run 2 threads per GPU. If the miner exists, try with --gpu-threads 1.
Reducing intensity may improve rejection due to stale shares.

Windows version only. You may need to install Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2013/2015 (x86) if it is not in your system already.
Linux version will come too if enough interest is showed.

v0.1
initial version

v0.2
+4% performance
