sp_, do you know of any decent method in C# to retrieve all OpenCL platforms with names and IDs?

select from WMI?
dunno exactly with OpenCL, but to retrieve all GPUs - https://www.google.com/search?q=ManagementObjectSearcher%28%22SELECT+*+FROM+Win32_VideoController%22%29&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

The new version is crashing on rigs wich need --gpu-platform 1 as a parameter in sgminer.

1. gpu-platform 0 is the motherboard gpu.
2. gpu-platform 0 is a NVIDIA card.

As far as we have tested this only happens on Win10 and it also depends on the order of drivers installation ... The workaround for now is to disable any other GPUs in the system if you wan't to use your AMD GPUs.

Huh?

Not bad.

Here some results.

First card = R9 Nano, second one = 290x , both @ stock clocks.

Wow, amazing that such a great country - top 5 (may be the very #1) in the world has so low el. cost Shocked

In my city it rains 277 days out of 365 in a year. My country is mostly covered with mountains and we produce cheap green energy from hydropower.

we've got enough sun and the highest solar panel adoption in europe, still the ACTUAL electricity price may exceed 0.3

That is because you live in Germany. The solar panel costs a lot of money. It is not economical and needs a lot of subsidy. That is the reason for high price.

I don't live in Germany and the prices were high even before the subsidies. Those are paid by the state, not the electrical company, BTW.

Hello,

A new version of NiceHash Miner has just been released. The new version 1.2.1.0 brings highly optimized AMD GPU mining for popular X11 (+100%), Quark (+50%) and Lyra2REv2 (+200%) algorithms on AMD Pitcairn, Tahiti and Hawaii GPUs along with some additional new features and bug fixes. The significant boost in X11, Quark and Lyra2REv2 algorithms are shown here when mining on four GPUs: R9 280X (Tahiti), 7950 (Tahiti), R9 290x (Hawaii) and 7870 (Pitcairn): https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=news&id=53

This is mandatory upgrade for users with AMD GPUs. After upgrading to this release re-run the Precise benchmark if you are using AMD GPUs. And remember - NiceHash Miner is a truly easy-to-use Windows software that will quickly turn your PC, workstation or server into money-making machine. Detailed description, application options and even full source code is available on the GitHub page.

Go ahead and get it here: download here!

Best regards,
NiceHash team

Thank you! Bug: sgminer-5-1-0-optimized freeze while x11 mining. Bug is floating, sometime after 3 hours mining, sometime after 20 minutes mining.
win7x64, 2 R9 280X, amd-catalyst-15.7.1
Please combine all algorithms with single sgminer, to provide Auto-Switching Multi-Algorithm Mining Roll Eyes

I'm not sure that _I am_ able to fix it, but if it's trivial and you say me how, I'll be really glad!

Yes, I suppose too, that speed will be dismal (or much worse than with proprietary drivers), but at least we can observe the progress with OSS drivers within new kernels and driver versions...

Thanks!

Are "static" and "SWAP8" the only two different error messages you are getting?
Watch for log truncation...

On F23 (with latest updates of gcc, kernel, mesa, etc.) I'm able to compile newest sgminer (downloaded from git) without any troubles. But when I try to start something like this :

Code:

export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1

./sgminer --algorithm darkcoin --queue 0 --scan-time 5 --no-submit-stale 
-o stratum+tcp://xyz -u ABCD.1 -p x -g 1 --intensity 7 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 4096 --shaders 256

I got this error :

Code:

./aes_helper.cl:188:12: error: OpenCL does not support the 'static' storage class specifier
./aes_helper.cl:255:12: error: OpenCL does not support the 'static' storage class specifier
./aes_helper.cl:322:12: error: OpenCL does not support the 'static' storage class specifier
....
input.cl:215:18: error: invalid reinterpretation: sizes of 'uchar8' (vector of 8 'uchar' values) and
 'sph_u64' (aka 'unsigned long long') must match
input.cl:91:27: note: expanded from macro 'SWAP8'
/usr/include/clc/as_type.h:42:22: note: expanded from macro 'as_uchar8'
/usr/include/clc/as_type.h:8:38: note: expanded from macro 'as_ulong'
input.cl:216:18: error: invalid reinterpretation: sizes of 'uchar8' (vector of 8 'uchar' values) and

input.cl:91:27: note: expanded from macro 'SWAP8'
/usr/include/clc/as_type.h:42:22: note: expanded from macro 'as_uchar8'
....

It looks it's "just" about few types/classes, with that's OpenCL not so much familiar. But I'm just guessing ... Do you mean is it possible to make some fix for this (in some of the new version of sgminer, or just some patch for current version) ... ?

Thanks in advance, Crys!

You can fix it, but I believe speed will be dismal.

The power consumption is 200W for the 280x, or 4.8 kWh, with the electricity price of 0.2, that is $0.96. So it is profitable.

In my country the cost of power is $0.05-0.1 and the outside temp is 10 degrees Celsius in the summer. (natural cooling)

Where u from?

Or use the gpu-rigs as spaceheaters to warm your house in the winter for free.

Every winter , the mining revenue seems to drop because of this.

Thank you sir.
Mining ETH still more profitable...

ETH is currently $1.24 per r9 280x per day.

The Network hashrate is: 613.9 GHASH/S

This is equal to 21 893 R9 280x cards.

$27 147,14 Worth of etherum is generated for the miners every day.

And nicehash is not a part of the clondyke.

If you include the power consumption of the computer system, the profit is just marginal. You need cheap electricity to make profit.
