tested with 4x280x gpu

e3 1230 v3 run successful

g1820 failed

minerd prefer high-end cpu even use ocl

so sad,just run after find gpu and got error..



alert minerd.exe is pause

tested with my 750  and 270x,win8 and win7,bbr.farm,my pool,cncoin pool...



you list two cards, but show 6 miner threads. try not setting any threads or devices.

It was only the wind.
OK, what am I doing wrong?

I have a 4 card AMD rig, but can only get one card mining using boolbd to solo.

My json:

"current_extra_message_index": 0,
  "device_index": 3,
  "difficulty": 16777215,
  "donation_decision": true,
  "donation_decision_made": false,
  "donation_descision": true,
  "donation_percent_opencl": "2.0",
  "kernel": "wild_keccak.cl",
  "kernel_type": 0,
  "platform_index": 0,
  "thread_delay": 100,
  "work_size": 262144


my start.bat:

boolbd.exe --start-mining=1K5BH.....rCLe9gxXF --mining-threads=1

Tried all sorts of combos but only ever get one card running.

Also, if I am soloing, why is it telling me I'm getting shares?

The shares are fake - just a check to make sure the card is working.

mine works fine 4 x r9 290 = 3.5 MHs or 970khs per card ( win8.1 and 2012R2 )

OpenCL stratum miner
https://github.com/mbkuperman/cpuminer-multi-opencl

Windows x64 build
https://github.com/mbkuperman/cpuminer-multi-opencl/releases

To mine on all available GPUs:
Code:
minerd.exe -a wildkeccak_ocl -o stratum+tcp://bbr.farm:7777 -u 1EmWGnwhydr3S2vRWQbbefh1hgDKgMjdMGe43ZgdPhdARhNBRkUMuD4YzLA2nyYG8tg2HKCCBg4aDamJKypRQWW1Ca2kSV8 -p X -l scratchpad.bin -k http://bbr.farm/download/scratchpad.bin

OpenCL specific options:
Code:
-d N - start OpenCL device to use (default: 0)
-i N - OpenCL work intensity (default: 18)

To mine on 2nd GPU only  and to set higher intensity:
Code:
minerd.exe -a wildkeccak_ocl -d 1 -t 1 -i 22 ... 

To mine on CPU (algorithm from original fork):
Code:
minerd.exe -a wildkeccak ... 


Great work! A quick test showed my 6950 was hitting 575kh/s.

OK. I'll do and post it tomorrow it's late here right now.

The Boolberry team has pledged an 1100 BBR bounty to Wolf0 to make the stratum version of the OpenCL GPU miner.

Please contribute to the bounty to show Wolf0 at:
1DMRXkaBU6kThGHvvbx52bCSw7rUkcVsiDPjh8dq92Kj9sYRauGs7Dk2JbAvNVouvZGTUHMM3bx7hBW m6i6ZMKQDE5XkYfR.

I've sent 100 more BBR to this address,  but my first message about this was deleted.) Just want Wolf0 to know that bounty is bigger a little.)

Received. Bounty is now 1200 BBR.

It's a half day work at most. Almost everything's done already. I haven't done it personally just because I don't get why everybody needs it (and it's still half day work  Smiley). But offering such bounty... I would do it the same day.

Please do. Really, go ahead. I hate OpenCL host code.

Okay, listen up!

Releasing my CUDA miner, with stratum support. I also cleaned up a LOT of the awful cpuminer code - now only supports stratum and Wild Keccak.

It's not polished, so READ THE GITHUB README. I also stripped out most of the garbage that came with cpuminer.

Best launch config I've found for 750Ti is 60x256.

Oh, and consider the -t option mandatory for now - set it to the number of GPUs you wish to mine on.

Have fun: https://github.com/wolf9466/bbr-cudaminer

Example launch (using sheepman's pool):

Code:
./cudaminerd -o stratum+tcp://38.93.234.101:40000 -u 1JYa1g52PN5aAq9gjTiDkwWc2Zu56ZkTUV49De8EuSFd9bQcSoRaGvdcJ3dut3XULBbAWqKassGp4Yr6PYodQpbsUKdGUtq -p x -k http://38.93.234.101/scratchpad.bin -t 1 -l60x256

I get ~350khash per 750Ti (5 card rig). I could not compile using maxwell (some error about compute_50), but using compute_35 it worked. does it need a newer CUDA toolkit than 5.5?

For 750Ti, you should be using 6.0. Also, are you using -l60x256?

but to me mining bbr is much more profitable than crypocoin,because all my cards is 7850 1G,I can just got about 180-200 hashrate per card(mining crpocoin needs lots of memory,1G is not enough),I'm living in China,in my place electricity price is about 0.15 dollar/kwh,if the bbr mining power cost is like you said,it still have some profit to me

For my two cards: they both have around 315 W so in one day: they use around 1.32 $ and for 18.76 BBR I can get 2.5$ ( so 1$ per day)
when mining crypto ( since both have 3 GB of ram)  then spent 330 W of power: it is 1.42$ per day and can get 3$ so 1.48 $ of profit: or 48% more...
The accurate profit compara:(3-1.42)/(2.5-1.32)= 1.38   38%more for your cards,but for my cards mining bbr is better

did you try solo mining?I found solo mining is really better than pool mining,much more profit!even better than Mining Profits calculatar's results ,but I dont know why,maybe because Im lucky


With 1.7MH/s  I think it insane making solo mining. Must find one or two blocks per day : and only if I had pure luck: i will not find it. And that luck will not last forever Smiley
And on pool I will always find 18 BBR/day...
If I can be sure that I will find two block par day that will be different story Smiley

okay,I get it,pool mining is your right choice,but solo mining is suit for me cause I have 22mH/s...

Thanks for releasing this!

My own work on the stratum-enabled cpuminer-multi fork stalled when I got CPU/GPU validation errors and later fell sick for a couple of weeks.



Not a problem. Do me a favor, though - test it on your 750Ti, with -l60x256. Tell me how it compares to yours.

When the editor opens change "thread_delay" to 2000, save and exit the editor.

This is most important part of whole guide. I lost over 2 hours to configure 2 GPU working together. I try countless number of combination in json file, but no one work. When I put all to "defaults" and change delay to 2000 both card started without any problem.  

to me 2000 is not enough,some cards didn't working,try 4000 that make all my cards working together...I also have a question,does anyone knows the ATI card mining electricity cost contrast with scrypt or X11?

So why you dont recompile daemon and set that value as default? So many people have problem, and that will be solved with that.

I try to compare X11 and boolberry: with same setup  ( my two 280) has maybe 5% less power. Compared to cryptocoin it is about 15W less per card...

For now, and with this price: mining , on pool or solo is not profitable compared to cryptocoin. If coders can find way to get more hash rate that will be great.
