w00000t... switching finally working nicely for me on all my rigs, I just needed to adjust gpu-engine settings for each pool to avoid sick gpus.
June 30, 2014, 09:13:49 PM
Anyone got this to work on a private p2pool node? When it starts, I always get my local pool as being dead.
Thanks
Try "no-extranonce" : "true", Thanks

Hello. I have small question. sgminer v5 started like unified miner, but now we have v5 and v5-x15 branch. v5-x15 experimental or something like that? Because we again have situation with "100500" forks, just in one repository. Correct me if i'm wrong.

new algos? x15 / nist5?
Im looking to test this out. Anyone have some GPU conf files for X15 or Nist5 they can post?
A straight-forward configuration would be the same as X11/X13, you should just use:
Code:
"algorithm" : "bitblock",
for X15
and
Code:
"algorithm" : "talkcoin-mod",
for NIST5.
btw: make sure you have the latest sgminer_v5 from https://www.nicehash.com/software/#sgminer

Anyone got this to work on a private p2pool node? When it starts, I always get my local pool as being dead. Any good, easy to follow guides for building for win32/win64. I have not been able to build a working version using the documentation.
Thanks
Thanks

Ok, i just thought that i can get x11/x13 multi working with v5 miner. can anyone share compiled windows miner and some guidlines how to get .conf file working. I tried with some other versions and just creating conf file didnt seem to work.

Can somebody, who is using the latest nicehash windows build sgminer_v5 (sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-06-25-win32.zip) with 14.6 beta drivers , please check if the gpu-engine/gpu-memclock options are working with this build as expected ?
For me, the latest windows build, completely ignores the core/memory clock settings from config file, the GPU boost mode default values are used instead (1070/1550MHz for the given R9-280X cards). I'm unable to change the values from sgminer GPU menu (Shift+G) as well. thanks

Or set shaders to 0 and use TC by itself. Or also leave TC=0 and use rawintensity which is a lot like TC.
For scrypt-n, TC is usually half (or less) of what is known to be best for your cards on normal scrypt. There are heaps of sites that list these for most cards.

not sure really but TC for scrypt and nscrypt are not usually the same....
try setting your shaders, remove the TC and .bin files then run
the .bin files it creates will give you a starting point for your TC for each
for example i am running 290x with 14.6 drivers and my bins are alexkarnewHawaiigw256l4lg2tc2816nf11.bin and alexkarnewHawaiigw256l4lg2tc5632nf10.bin
so i would use TC 2816 for nscrypt and TC 5632 for scypt
or just use shaders

as I understand it is normal for nscrypt & 14.6 driver. Furthermore the temperature dropped a bit and I calmed down

Nope this is the standard drop in performance experienced when using 14.x drivers versus 13.x I think.
It murders scrypt performance.

I got cgwatcher working with the newest version.
Get CGWatcher 1.3.9
In the settings there is something you need to disable...
Settings>Miner>
CHECK - Disable temporary config file creation during miner start
Now, you are not done. Launch SGMiner through CGWatcher and it should instaclose.
Go to your config file and you should see a 2 new lines in there:
"api-listen" : true,
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1"
For whatever reason it will add the lines needed to monitor, but it wont add the comma that will cause a JSON error and make the miner crash. For me, it was the "api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1" it would continuously delete the comma, so the fix is to add that line to the VERY bottom:
EXAMPLE
"api-listen" : true,
"intensity" : "19",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8193",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-fan" : "40,60,60,40,40",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"expiry" : "10",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"tcp-keepalive" : "30",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"failover-only" : true,
"failover-switch-delay" : "1",
"no-submit-stale" : true,
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1"
}
Problem solved. You can now use CGWatcher when using multi algo switching.
I sincerely hope this helps someone.
Thanks.

Thanks for the tip.
This kind of works for me but only if I do it manually every time I start CGwatcher.
For some reason the "disable temporary config file" setting is not properly loaded into CGwatcher on startup, even though my cgwatcher.exe.ini does have "UseTempConfigFile=False" included.
