I found a block today on an overclocked Asus GTX 970 (4GB memory). Running the newer miner with the -s 0.2 and -c 1 set it is reaching 450 MH/s.

When running this I noticed it only uses 70% GPU. Of course I am not using a "custom coded" miner so for kicks launched the same instance 3 times and the collective hashrate looks higher than if I was running individually 250/244/72 MH for each. 566 MH/s total and GPU use goes to 90% I am not sure if this is more effective or not but will run overnight and see what happens.

HI guy
New bat file
Set up
Sia_GPU-Miner.exe -s 0.2 -c 1

Is that what?

Thank you

Yes, that is what I am using. Nice work Wolf on the optimization. If it does not work you may be using the wrong exe, the one I have is named gpu-miner.exe I think you may have a different version which does not support those options. Not sure which page of this thread I downloaded it on.

If you mean the actual rewrite I did and posted about earlier, thanks. If you mean what I have on GitHub, that's not an optimization, it's how you properly get the list of OpenCL platforms on a system, and the list of GPU devices in a selected platform. Besides that, I added options to give the user direct control over intensity, plus the number of kernel enqueues before stopping to fetch new work and print hashrate.

With those options available, it should be simple to mine on all devices on a system, and probably get a little higher hash out of them, simply because you can tune the intensity.

That GitHub is here: https://github.com/wolf9466/Sia-GPU-Miner

Hello wolf0

A compiled version?
I tried to compile the VC6.0 without success

Don't make me do stuff!

Fine, done. Unlike before, where I compiled the Win64 binaries for the Sia team from their git without looking too closely at it, I've looked this over and contributed code - therefore I will sign the binaries. Key ID is in my signature.

Two files are in the archive: the miner executable and a README, which is also on GitHub. Read it. Seriously; I won't answer questions that are already answered there.

Seems to be working, finally I should say. 39MH/s is low right? (radeon 7970) But at least it's something

So thanks Wolf0

Even with no modified hashing, it should go way higher than that. The default intensity is now set quite low as to reduce the chances of crashing on a lower-end GPU if someone tries it out with the default parameters. The intensity option is there, and I expect you to use it - which is why I could lower the default. Just keep raising it by maybe 2 each time until hashrate stops improving, slows down, or the hashrate counter takes too long to update. If you've seemed to find a good intensity for your card, but hashrate is still printing multiple times per second, then use the -C option (cycles per iteration), to make the GPU do more work in between the hashrate printout and new work fetch.

Nothing has changed.

r9 290x 120MH/s

Everyone is digging with a speed of 10 times. This is not fair

Anyone running a 280X or similar and getting more than 110mhs on windows ?

We're building a platform called 'Sunfish' which will make sharing and tagging files a lot easier. The early version of that will be ready in July.

Sunfish is going to be an open source file tracker, anybody is going to be able to run their own sunfish server, and the GUI will have support for pointing at custom sunfish instances.

Would it be possible to put sunfish into the wallet and build it using sia so it too is decentralized? Otherwise centralized file trackers could lead to possible censorship.

It's not hard to envision a DHT where you ask your peers for the file with a given hash, etc. But as of now there are no plans to add such functionality. Separate servers are nice because they can be completely separate from Sia, whereas a DHT would essentially require that we force peers to "opt-in" by default, or else risk low participation.

Can someone please post a link to the latest gpu miner?

I know there's this one that was posted by Wolf
https://github.com/wolf9466/Sia-GPU-Miner

but i'm using windows and I can't "make" that file so I need one that's a ready to go exe.

yes! we Need

I set up, but did not change
r9 290x 120MH/s

Are your GPU miners downloaded there?
