I'd write an implementation of Wild Keccak for GPU, but I do not want to deal with that scratchpad shit.

Probably the common issue.

Ping. Anyone want to help?

*The topic was changed from GPU miner bounty to GPU miner discussion.
This thread has the current information for Boolberry GPU miners.
AMD on Win - OpenCL stratum pool miner is fastest
AMD on Linux - OpenCL stratum pool miner is fastest.
Nvidia on Win - OpenCL stratum pool miner is fastest
Nvidia on Linux - CUDA is fastest.
OpenCL GPU miners work on both AMD and Nvidia cards. There are both solo and pool versions. Both versions were coded by mbk and use optimizations by Wolf0.
Pool (Stratum)
Where to Get
Windows (64-bit Only): https://github.com/mbkuperman/cpuminer-multi-opencl/releases
Linux: https://github.com/mbkuperman/cpuminer-multi-opencl
How To Use
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 ...
What to Expect
Double Rainbows
Solo Miner
Where to Get
Windows (64-bit Only): https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl/releases
Linux: https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl
How To Use
The solo version is named boolbd.exe. General use:
Code:
boolbd.exe --start-mining=[address] --mining-threads=[n]
Read the info on github readme for tuning information
https://github.com/mbkuperman/boolberry-opencl#boolberry-opencl-miner-configuration
What to Expect
6990 - 1160kh/s
280x - 970kh/s (@1100/1500)
270x - 670kh/s (@1100/1500)
7870 - 550kh/s (@1100/1350)
6950 - 540kh/s
The CUDA miner for Nvidia GPUs provides the fastest hash rates available on stratum pools. The miner works on Linux ONLY. Windows will not be available until Nvidia or MS update their development tools. This was developed and released open-source by Wolf0.
Where to Get
Linux: https://github.com/wolf9466/bbr-cudaminer
How To Use
Check the Readme on GitHub for most up-to-date info.
Code:
./cudaminerd -o stratum+tcp://: -u -p x -k http:// -t -l 60x256
The -l (also --launch-config) is in the format (number of thread blocks)x(number of threads). This requires tweaking for each card.
What to Expect
750Ti - 775kh/s (l set to 60x256)
Windows
If you have Windows but still want to run the CUDA miner, sonoIO put together a how-to for running linux from a flash drive.
If you need help, just post in this thread. If you have questions be sure to include:
- What is your Operating System?
- What mining program?
- When did you download the mining program?
- What GPU?
- What command are you using to run it?
THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL POST
This is a bounty for an open source AMD OpenCL GPU miner for Boolberry's blockchain-based PoW hash, Wild Keccak.
Current Bounty: 2500 BBR
1500 BBR was collected by surfer43 in the original GPU miner bounty thread.
1000 BBR was collected by me in the stratum pool bounty thread. That bounty was not awarded because the Boolberry dev team did the work.
