Hey Wolf0, does the CL patches hash better for pools? Or are they still hashing 50% or less than solo still?

Nothing in the CL will help the stales and crap caused by HTTP mining. Simpleminer is garbage.

Will you give a try to implement it in the cpu multiminer?

I did, but it's REALLY dull work. I gave clintar the half-finished code, but he hasn't been able to figure it out yet...

Oh. So, the scratchpad part of BBR really is an annoying issue with implementing a stratum version of a gpu miner for it?

Oh, no, see the screenshot: https://ottrbutt.com/tmp/bbrcudaminer5.png

Stratum. It's just OpenCL that's the major pain.

Oh ok.

Has anyone try to use Mantle or is that exclusive to gaming coding only?

I'm no expert on Mantle, but as far as I can tell, it's pretty useless for compute.

Hey mbk, any status on making the miner stratum compatible? Maybe including fan speed control, temp status and gpu load status in the next miner.

4 card amd rig

boolbd.exe --start-mining=1K5BH.....rCLe9gxXF --mining-threads=4

boolbd.exe --start-mining=[address] --mining-threads=[n]

n - number of GPUs to use

Doesn't seem to be working though.

When I try 4 threads I get an error about CL_Name and platform index must be between 0 and some huge number.

Tried alter device index also, but still the same.

Only one gpu shown working in gpu-z

Do I need a certain version of driver maybe? I'm on 13.251 Catalyst 13.12

Ok, does this simply not work with multi-gpu rigs?

I've tried everything suggested plus a few ideas of my own and I just cannot get this to work with more than one card. I've also updated drivers which hasn't made the boolberry situation better, but has buggered up my other mining. Not impressed.

I see others here complaining of similar problems and they seem to be getting nowhere too.

Any clues, anyone?

It's ok! I have download the scratchpad.bin and run simpleminer getting 85% speed with solo.

But the usage of gpu is not good.

Start multiple instances having different --device parameters (--device 0, --device 1, etc).

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.

Awesome! I've been reading enough about how the GTX 750 Ti makes its owner rich and handsome after bringing peace to Middle East, but I've been worried about the closed/private miner issue. I might actually give Nvidia a chance, though I still think AMD plays better with the open source ecosystem.

Man, I am tired. BBR miner is inching its way up, though - now mostly above 780 and hitting 790 - it was around 770 and hitting 780 since I implemented support for multiple GPUs:

if you are using the latest simpleminer by mbkuperman you should have the argument --remote_scratchpad arg

so try...
./simpleminer --pool-addr bbr.cncoin.farm:1111 --login YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS --pass x --mining-threads 1 --remote_scratchpad http://bbr.cncoin.farm/scratchpad.bin

if have 5gpu / rig
how can i do ?

because run 5 windows are slow

try --mining-threads 5

n - number of GPUs to use

Doesn't seem to be working though.

When I try 4 threads I get an error about CL_Name and platform index must be between 0 and some huge number.

Tried alter device index also, but still the same.

Only one gpu shown working in gpu-z

Do I need a certain version of driver maybe? I'm on 13.251 Catalyst 13.12

I'm currently running win8.1 and win2012 r2 14.7beta , each box has 2 x R9 290 Tri-x OC

hr on each box is 1972600

msi afterburner shows both gpu at 100%

How can I do? thank you.

if you are using the latest simpleminer by mbkuperman you should have the argument --remote_scratchpad arg

so try...
./simpleminer --pool-addr bbr.cncoin.farm:1111 --login YOUR_WALLET_ADDRESS --pass x --mining-threads 1 --remote_scratchpad http://bbr.cncoin.farm/scratchpad.bin
