MrBobC: why did you manually download .gitmodules? You don't need to do that...
July 03, 2014, 09:08:18 PM
Okay, so what I did was clone the git, then manuall download the .gitignore and .gitmodules. I still couldn't get the git submodule init and git submodule update to work, so I looked at the .gitmodules file and found out which git it referred to, and went to sgminer/submodules and cloned the jannson git there. Then you can autoreconf -i and the CFLAGS and the make. It worked in Linux. I guess the "git submodule init" and "git submodule update" essentially do what I did manually. I'm just glad it worked. I then zipped it up and sent it to the other 22 rigs and replaced the last sgminer5 version. My connections to Nicehash were immediate that time, but I was rented out so it didn't matter. Naturally, when the rental finished, they defaulted to my non-Nicehash pool because the nicehash pools were of course dead, despite being configured correctly with this:

badman74: that doesn't sound like a "hell of a time" if all you have to do is open git shell... In any case you also probably have an old version of MinGW.
breel: no, it's not the same issue, you need to read the new readme instructions on how to build now. it can't be the same issues unless you found a way to run MinGW on linux.

With jasson added as a submodule now I am having a hell of a time building the miner
My MinGW tells me that submodule is not a valid git command so i have to do the submodule commands in git shell then go back to msys to build the miner...
If anyone knows how to make git submodule work in MinGW i could use the help

if X11/X13 become mainstream, there will be asics for it
we can say that the price of a coin is somehow defined by the cost of the extraction
that's why scrypt asic miners and botnets/chinese farms miners dropping so low ... ok
but
why theses people who runs botnets and china farms don't want to sell
@ higher prices ? this will make more profits for them and things possible for us
there will be always someone to make cheaper prices than the others to sell more
this is a non solvable problem for me ...
sad to realize that asic BTC home mining and GPU home mining is dead for an average joe
the only bone which still got a little bit meat on it is the scrypt asic one, but it won't last too long
as the big miners comes in september, you have 2 month before all the main scrypt coins get raped to death
good old days are way behind us, i see lots of dark clouds coming

Can't seem to get X15 working with the v5 miner for the life of me... always getting share above target HW errors.
Does it create the bitblock.bin or not?

Has someone compared power consumption between X11,X13 and X15 ? I find that X15 is more voltage hungry, stable clocks from X13 just don't work here stable enough.

May have just solved the random X15 HW errors by changing 2 things just for X15,... worksize and thread-concurrency. I made the worksize for the 280x's from 256 to 64 and for the 290's from 512 to 128. Also my tc's were 8193 and 20481, i changed them to 8192 and 20480. Keeping my fingers crossed and hope it gets rid of them.

Has someone compared power consumption between X11,X13 and X15 ? I find that X15 is more voltage hungry, stable clocks from X13 just don't work here stable enough.

I agree Mannyg, once they connect they're fine, no issues, but if you restart... Also, I have my 280x hashing around 2.6Mh on 14.6 beta drivers in BAMT. I use the same settings for x11/x13/x15, the below conf is for my Sapphire Vapor-X 280x.

Seems to vary a lot with driver version, my 280x only getting about 2.1 MH/s with pretty much identical settings. I'm on 13.12 still, not sure I can be bothered to play uninstall/reinstall/reconfigure-all-the-displays games right now though..
I've read that the 14.4 drivers increase X11 hash rate, and the 14.6 ones break everything without some voodoo file swapping and modding, etc. I dont want to have to bother with all that nonsense, it's very frustrating to not see a straight forward driver install for my GPU's and have everything work the same as with 13.12.
I've started to notice a new thing too, ... occasional random HW errors popping up on X15. Same configs i used with X11 and X13 that didnt have HW errors at alll... ever.
Does thread-concurrency matter for X11/X13/X15?

How do I get the column with "A:" below (S)ettings (D)isplay in the compiled by myself or compiled by Nicehash SGMiner 5 back?
I get lots of "Accepted ..... Diff ... GPU2 ... at ...." but on top is everything at 0 "A:0 R:0 HW:0", too.
SPH-SGminer shows the column "A:" but doesn't work with X15.
Compiled SGMiner 5 (Ubuntu 13.10) with this howto: http://blog.shindasingh.com/2014/01/sgminer-4-0/comment-page-1/

How to activate the Logging into a File? Sometimes SGMiner just close without giving an Information why. Would like to Log everything to see what happen.
The way I log activity is to start my miners with a batch file:
Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
sgminer 2>logfile.txt --config nicehashx15.conf
the "sgminer 2>logfile.txt" will write the activity to the same directory as the sgminer.
but lately my miners have been shutting down or freezing or rebooting without a clue left in the logfile.
Something's not right with the x15 config. I just can't figure it out.
