Why did x11 on NH multi just throw back loads of HW errors ??

can anyone else see this ,, I am getting random HW errors with the new miner when i use previous clock settings
Same problem here.

I had to revert back to the sgminer before the algorithm switching version, badman74's did add 10% to each of my cards however it also wouldn't run more than 1 card for more than 12 hours and after I used badman74's sgminer I had to wipe my USB and reload PiMP to get the former sgminer to work again. I do still use badman74's sgminer mod on my test rig that only has 1 card and it will run 1 card just fine but even just adding 1 more card makes it crash after a handful of hours.

Thanks to ystarnaud the sgminer-develop branch has been updated with badman74's optimizations: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/develop. And thanks to elbandi&nicehash you can already download new sgminer-5.1-develop binaries (neoscrypt algo, whirlcoin, diamond v2 and the arebyp scrypt kernel, badman74 optimizations): https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer

Need "badman74" binaries plz

Fuckit for no reason this new miner throws HW errors at random; not sure if it's going to wreck my shit or what.

great badman update i hope that the badman update does not throw HW errors on x11

It was only the wind.
Wolf0 thanks  Wink I actually resolved the problem, scrolled to line 45 in events.c and fixed "bad" syntax. Up and running now, although hashrate on my 280x is not even close to your speeds. Good experience, anyways.

I haven't touched the code to SGMiner itself, just the CL files - that's where most of the important stuff is.

In my rig, HW errors start when difficulty changes...

I'm trying to build badman74 in Visual Studio C++ 2010. The goal is to have native x64 and x86 versions of sgminer. Following boring instruction, installed (hope so) all the dependencies and now I'm stuck at the final step. Solution won't build showing me error:

Code:
1>..\events.c(45): error C2440: 'initializing' : cannot convert from 'void *' to 'const char *'
1>          Conversion from 'void*' to pointer to non-'void' requires an explicit cast



Has anyone tried winbuild in Visual Studio? And maybe encountered similar issue? Any help would be appreciated

I have a native win64 SGMiner build, see my sig.

What is the ratio of neo scrypt to OG scrypt hash on average?  Sorry, I've been out of the Forum for a while and seem to have missed a bit.

Nicehash and Trademybit have set their conversion rates for neoscrypt to approximately scrypt / 8
From my personal experience it's more like scrypt / 6

Hi,
My r290's hashrate for x11 is about 4500mh . Can i improve it?
thanks.

sorry for English.

We added NeoScrypt algo to NiceHash/WestHash. Sellers, make sure to use latest Sgminer 5.0 develop version, since cgminer-neoscrypt 3.7.8 has extranonce bug (you will only receive "Share above target" with cgminer-neoscrypt 3.7.8 on our stratum servers)!

Sgminer 5.0 develop source: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/tree/develop

Sgminer 5.0 develop windows binaries: http://cryptomining-blog.com/3735-new-sgminer-5-development-version-with-neoscrypt-support/

BTW: it took as a bit longer to implement proper validator because we were testing on cgminer-neoscrypt 3.7.8 and only today figured out that the issue is with the extranonce bug in cgminer-neoscrypt 3.7.8 ... we really don't understand why they even used such an old buggy version of cgminer for neoscrypt implementation ... bwah!

MultiAlgo users : either update to Sgminer 5.0 develop or disable NeoScrypt factor until you update to this miner. You can disable a particular algorithm by setting f8=0 .... for example f0=1;f2=0.5;f3=4;f4=3;f5=500;f6=3.5;f7=16;f8=0 ... more info on https://www.nicehash.com/multialgo/#finetuning (of course, since NeoScrypt is very profitable, we suggest you to upgrade to latest Sgminer 5.0 develop as soon as possible).

Here are some key settings for Sgminer (of course, your mileage may vary):

Code:
"xintensity" : "64",
"worksize" : "32",
"kernel" : "neoscrypt",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",

Why is solo mining still not possible with this new sgminer ?
because they dont follow the specs.

I'm using 14.9 - I think it has the OpenCL 2.0 beta, I should try that shit.

How does it work out for you?

Fine; looking through the OpenCL 2.0 specs for some good shit to use.
Be careful. Relevant.

Ugh, shit. Why do they have to half ass it?
