Do you really have X13 more than X11?

Quote
x11 - 2.650Mh/s
x13 - 2.750Mh/s

Is everything correct here?

"pool-thread-concurrency" : "262144"

I got "--intensity 15 --thread-concurrency 8192 --lookup-gap 2 --worksize 256 -g 2"
and if to overclock core to 1150 like you did it's just 2.2 Mh mining X13.

EDIT: And one more difference, I'm using x13mod instead of marucoin-mod, is yours  better?


I'm just using the default kernels created created when I compiled.  I don't know about importing kernels from third party compiles.  I doubt it is optimized properly.

The hash rate I get for x13 fluctuates between 2.650-2.750mh/s roughly.  It seems to have stabilized closer to 2.655Mh/s...so roughly the same as x11.

My thread concurrency was based off of:

Intensity: How hard the miner is working. Each increase by one is DOUBLE the previous number of threads:
I:13 = 8192 threads
I:14 = 16384 threads
I:15 = 32768 threads
I:16 = 65536 threads
I:17 = 131072 threads
I:18 = 262144 threads
I:19 = 524288 threads
I:20 = 1048576 threads

originally from this thread: www dot overclock dot net/t/1461916/tutorial-ultimate-guide-to-tweaking-amd-cgminer-3-7-2-kalroth-edition-sgminer-instructions-included-aswell-get-the-most-hash-out-of-your-gpu

Honestly, it doesn't seem to make a difference if I use 8192, 8193, or 262144...I just set it according to that chart.

When mining keccak, I'm getting a lot of stale shares and job not found.  Roughly 20% reject rate for keccak.  Still submits accepted shares, but tons of stale and not found.  The rest (scrypt, scrypt-n, x11, and x13) are working great.  No problems with Nicehash algo-switching for the last 24 hours using it.  Running on Ubuntu 12.04, compiled myself from source.  I'm using an ASUS 280x.

Average hashrates:
scrypt - 771kh/s
scrypt-n - 355kh/s
x11 - 2.650Mh/s
x13 - 2.750Mh/s
keccak - 355Mh/s w/ ~20% reject rate

Hi. If use multi-algo, but set in conf. only X11 and X13 algo. Did miner work fine when ( for example ) scrypt more profitable, or miner try use scrypt and go idle ?

Set a 3rd backup pool.  When x11 and x13 go idle, you want to be mining somewhere. If you want to default back to Nicehash set your last resort pool to Nicehash non-switching ports 333x.

Thanks for the response brucen. I was really hoping that I missed something obvious. Unfortunately what you describe is how I figured out that it wasn't loading the pool- settings. It seems to me that this whole multi algo thing might be a little shy of stable. Can you post a config of your that works? Happen to have any 270x miners?

Also, as an aside, I'm wondering if this multi-algo mining will open up to nvidia anytime soon. I have 10 750ti cards itching for a go. For now they mine scrypt with a custom build of sgminer that has the cuda kernel from cudaminer. It's a fork of sgminer called darkminer. Terrible name choice but it lets me use all my cgminer monitors to watch and control them. Anyway, I'm hoping nicehash might put together a build of sgminer with the cuda kernel and multi-algo...

@hodgeac

I ran into the same problem you mention and what I did was build a single algo config with only the name, url, user, pass, and pool-algorithm. I put everything else in the collective general section at the end. I confirmed that worked and then I slowly removed the the pool- configurable items from the general section and put them in the pool section one by one and tested each time that they worked. I noticed that no matter which pool-algorithm I used, the initial bin file always was built using the ckolivas kernel, then when that completed, the proper kernel bin would build. I found that really strange, but a consistent pattern with all algos. Sometimes I had to launch the config more than once to get the kernel to build properly. Also, I found the pool-algorithm is mandatory in the pool config. If it is not there, the bin will not build and an error is listed after the compile.

Once I had a fully tuned config for one algorithm with all of the pool- settings working, I saved it to a separate text file, then I constructed the next algorithm config. Once I had all of the individual configs working and tuned on the 3XXX ports, I copied all of the separate algo configs into a single large config file and changed all of the ports to 4XXX. Everything is running as expected with automatic multi-switching. I do have a large number of job not found errors with the Keccak algo, but I think it's a stratum problem and not the config.

How can I pay also thru bitcoin? but I dont have any bitcoin yet just wanna start mining.

I will be very thankful someone who will guide me in mining bitcoin in nicehash.

Multi-algo isn't working for me at all. sgminer is ignoring all the "pool-xxx" settings. I've been able to verify this on all the supported algos and ran them each individually.
Setting "intensity" or "xintensity" works if I set it explicit for the entire config file. Setting "algorithm" works if I run a separate config for each algo. Clearly, in order for the multi to work need to get the pool settings working. It ignores ALL "pool-" settings I've tried ("pool-algorithm", "pool-intensity", "pool-xintensity", "pool-nfactor". Here is a copy of my config:

Getting always diff 0.000 when try the multi-aglo routine with the new sgminer Version from the NH Website. Is that normal?

If you get accepted shares and you can see stats on NiceHash for your miner(s), then completely normal and nothing to worry about.

It's simple, clean, and reusable for more than just nicehash. I just don't see why thread-concurrency and other parameters need to be pool-specific.

That is how creators of newest sgminer did it. I don't recall this being done like it is on our request.

The way I read this: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=632503.0;topicseen is that nicehash had significant involvement in that development. Not that it matters to me one bit, I'm just surprised to see that kind of a hack in an otherwise decent piece of software.

OK so "-k" is not a recognized command. How do we specify the mining kernel in sgminer 5.0 ?
PS: "-T" doesnt work so I put a "pause" line.

Anyone?
To specify the kernel, use --algorithm marucoin for x13

Also I found that there is an issue with the example config file on the nicehash page. There is an extra comma which causes sgminer to not load the config file. This seems to be fixed as of now but the extra comma was just before the ] after the {. I removed it and it was fine.

I do seem to be running into an issue with the config file tho. When I try to run just one pool for testing (x11) using the config file, sgminer seems to never submit any work.
However running the equivalent command line, it is working fine

config file:
Code:
{
"pools" : [
     {
          "name" : "NiceHash_X11_multi",
          "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336",

  "pool-intensity" : "18"
     }
],
"failover-only" : true,
"failover-switch-delay" : "30",

}

command line:

Thank you very much for you help ! It works now.

Anyone know what the +/- max Hash for a 290x

scrypt - 880-1000+
nscrypt - 400-450+
x11 - 4000-4500
x13 - ?
keccak - ?

and maybe some good configs for keccak? trying the multi-algo.

The BPASMAM is working well for me after I tested and tuned each pool. However the Keccek_multi pool is showing some problems. I'm getting around 40% rejects (Job not found) and I'm also seeing an occasional GPU invalid nonce count - HW error. Anyone else seeing these issues with the Keccak algo?

I am having trouble figuring out the multi algorithm thing. I cut and pasted the example config file into a text document that I named sgminer.conf. when I start sgminer it says Fatal JSON error in config file and doesn't work. I usually use cgminer. I am running a single gigabyte 7950

last line in the example config isn't part of a working config, make sure you deleted.

Also, make sure everything has commas where appropriate.
