Hi all
Could someone maybe give my poor being a hand in getting the optimised Nist5 miner/kernel to work on SGminer5? I use PiMP, been trying to compile on of djm34's versions myself but failed miserably... I think it might be due to my abysmal Linux skills...
Anyone who could share the few command lines needed?
Many thanks in advance!
EDIT: It works in sph-sgminer_x11mod. However it would be very nice if I could use Nist5 in the multi-switching algo of SGminer5...
There's about 80 config files posted throughout this thread. Please take the time to look, instead of post a "just do it for me already" post, which that basically was.
--kernel nist5 == --algorithm talkcoin-mod
Spent time trying to compile, but completely missed a) comparing the two files' sizes b) checking through some of the many working configs posted c)
https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/pull/272 d)
https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer/issues/268...
Spent time to answer like a douchebag but completely missed a) what files? b) since when do configs tell you if a kernel is compiled into a miner without having to do it first? c) & d) that's not a walkthrough nor an explanation that are links to conversations about merging files and technical data.
Well done for being a douche and not answering any of the question. Next time, can you just refrain if you do not intend to help?
a) files nist5.cl & talkcoin-mod.cl
b) most every config have people listing "nist5" pools while using "talkcoin-mod" as the algorithm [2+2=4]
c) exact date at which lasybear merged the nist5 algorithm, named "talkcoin-mod" into sgminer, from sph_sgminer (lasybear's miner); that's the optimized nist5 kernel, because that's the exact same human being that made it for his own miner, and then was kind enough to push it over into this sgminer multi-algo version, can't get a more direct source than that
d) exact date at which I proposed we include the nist5 algorithm, which lasybear pushed over as a response, in part c)
So it appears to be, douchebag or not, that I'm one of the reasons we have this algo in the multi-algo sgminer, but whatever dude, interpret all of our help here in a different light if you need to, seeing as we've been participating actively both in this sgminer and lasybear's since the beginning
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.7049650You said it yourself, you wanted a walkthrough. Walk through 54 pages of posts, just as we have, and you'll be up and running in no time, just like we are. If you want somebody else to do it for you, just state that, and offer a bounty to pay. Deeming anybody a douchebag may make you feel better, but it won't get you up and running any faster. Take the time to look through peoples' problems and solutions here, since many problems are presented, and many solutions have been offered and accepted that have fixed a myriad of problems, across different card architectures, different OS, different driver versions, and different pools. Your post was pretty non-specific and just said "how do i hash, i was using lasybear's now i want to use this." Without specifics, OS, driver version, card type & specs, what could you possibly expect us to be able to provide you, without knowing what your specific situation is? Since you know your situation, and we don't, there's 54 pages of possible solutions here, which seems to about a hundred others to be more than helpful for setting up.
There's config files for nearly every card-type with different specs if you need it, complete with recommended intensities.
There's multiple posts listing near-exactly what hashrates you can expect with CCC 13.x-14.4, and also 14.6 beta and later.
There's a ton of people who split their configs into two files, using a profiles.conf and a shortened sgminer.conf, with examples.
There's a few people who use CGWatcher, and there are a few valid config files which satisfy CGWatcher.
There's plenty of help here.
