Topic: Bounty for Open-Sourced XMR/Cryptonight GPU Miner Bounties Thread - page 6. (Read 170943 times)

You weren't asking about Crptonight either, so wrong thread.

I am not asking about monero..

wrong thread. monero is cryptonight.

have a couple of old 560 ti cards but when I try and run them for x11 using ccminer release 45 here is what I get

if I run ccminer - tsiv on xmr I get

any suggestions to get this card working for x11

I notice a couple problems... One the Geforce 8800 Gt has 512Mb of memory so to start we need to adjust your hash per thread ratio. the default count of 8x40 is 640Mb worth so lets lower it to a number your card likes..
Also the SMX factor is 14 for that card, so I think your second number has to be divisible by 14

add -l 7x28 to your startup batch file or configuration. (that is a small L not a number 1 or a letter i )

Another problem or oversight.. not sure which...  your address is incorrect.. if you want to mine QCN you need to go to port 45570 not 45550

also just go ahead and omit the -a cryptonight since it is redundant if you are using the cryptonight only miner software


example: ccminer -l 7x28 -o stratum+tcp://qcn.pool.minergate.com:45570 -u yourmail.address.com -p x

I hope this helps

we run on westhash ( or nicehash - but westhash is the closer server to us ) or yaamp ...

currently on westhash running - https://www.westhash.com/?p=miners&a=12&addr=15umzHXF8NzXA4FywmeFbrDHgL8WcPs3wx - if you want to have a look so far ...

3/4 of the farm running nvidia mining quark ( sp ccminer ) and the 1/4 amd x11 mining elsewhere ( using wolf's bins ) ...

im not too sure how you would individually cost this - but each card is running at approx 5450KH ...

we dont look at the pricing so much - just the hashrates - as pricing fluctuates way too much ( and you make lots of btc or a little - but you ALWAYS make btc ) - whereas the hashrate is all about maximizing it for the mining experience thus maximizing the coin production ...

we found that using ccminer ( private cryptonight miner code from sp AND tsiv ) runs really well - but does not seem to be as productive in the long term ( this test run was doen quite a while back when tsiv and sp released their miners ) ...

this is why we reverted back to x11 mainly ( and because 'our' coin is x11 based - granitecoin ) ...

im not sure how long you have been mining for - but you will find due to the price fluctuations - at any given moment in time ANY algo from ANY of those lists CAN be the most productive ...

so when your comparison of xmr and 'others' right this minute may be true - it may not be in future ... as was the case for us ...

due to this - we went with what we knew originally - x11 - and made the best of it while we could ... mining various coins and trading accordingly ... except for these last few days due to the quark testing on westhash ...

#crysx

actually did try this this weekend ran  on x11/Dash at miningpoolhub and I think it was about the same 7 cents for 24 hours on one of the cards (after conversion and fees and donations ) was getting 10,000 to 12,000 kh/s

I tried one of the cards on quark @ coinmine.pl
running for 10 minutes and already #1 in statistics... lol
but still the math is not there... according to the statistics.. it will only generate .0003 btc per day
thats about 6 cents

same card running XMR will get approx .0015 btc or .36 cents..

am I at the wrong pool ?

Is the 1 BTC + 500 XMR bounty still available for an open source AMD miner?

get your hands on sp's ccminer fork - and mine quark on nicehash / westhash or yaamp ...

seriously - it is one of the highest paying algos at the moment - and those cards will hammer pretty hard ...

here ...

1.5.45(sp-MOD) is available here: (18-april-2015)

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/releases/tag/1.5.45

The sourcecode is available here:

https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer

hope this works out for you ...

#crysx

well I guess that is the case... its just not hard on my GPU...

I am looking for a coin to mine that i can make some cash on .. I have two 980 cards and one 970 and I am finding that monero or even bytecoin makes more money per day than dash or quark

I am not looking to break the bank.. but I have these cards at my disposal and never turn off my computers at work anyway.. so might as well make some money on the side.

what exactly are these settings.

-l, --launch=CONFIG   launch config for the Cryptonight kernel.
                       a comma separated list of values in form of
                       AxB where A is the number of threads to run in
                       each thread block and B is the number of thread
                       blocks to launch. If less values than devices in use
                       are provided, the last value will be used for
                       the remaining devices. If you don't need to vary the
                       value between devices, you can just enter a single
             value and it will be used for all devices.

-f, --diff            Divide difficulty by this factor (std is 1)

I am running an nVIDIA gtx 980
 
looking at the -l I set mine to 8x64 -  I need to set the B value to a whole number divisible by 16 (smx count of 16 for this card)

I have tried 8x128 and I get larger +520h/s but very inconsistent... it will jump all over one will be 540 the next will be 128 ... average it out over a length of time and I would get approx 300+h/s average over 12 hours.


I have tried other combos all with a B value divisible by 16.  and 8x64 gives me about 430h/s average over 12 hours.

What is the -f for exactly i leave it alone for lack of knowing what the point of this setting is.



Here is why I ask..  If I run https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-ccminer-23-opensource-gpl-tpruvot-770064 and mine X11 algo for Dash.. I get approx 12,000 kh/s average. (setting intensity to 21 and maxing my GPU to approx 1550MHz )   -  my GPU Temp Climbs up and I have it holding at 80°C


When I run Cryptonight Algo for XMR on tsiv ccminer I am getting a fair h/s (430 avg) but it does not seem like my GPU is really working that hard..
It does not seem to help or hinder it to overclock the GPU also my temperature never even gets  above 55°C - Fans hardly run at all

what am I doing wrong with my settings.. ( besides trying to mine Monero in the first place)

I would throw in 100 XMR for an opensource AMD miner

So is mine for 150 xmr, even though I had withdrawn it previously.

My pledge is still good. I can't speak for the others and no funds have been collected so it is up to them.

I am not getting these results.
running nVidia brand geforce gtx-980
-l 8x112
I tried using Nvidia Inspector and went to Performance Level 2>Unlock Max> move slider to 4000 but when I [Apply Clocks and Voltage] it just auto drops down to default settings... I was able to slowly increase at +20 intervals all the way to 3545 but thats it
also I am running Precisionx with GPU Clock @ +290 (approx 1540Mhz) and Mem Clock at +433

I am bouncing all over the place with my H/s 515 to 178 but mostly in the 430 range

hi all ...

is there a list of pools that have cryptonight algo mining? ...

even if it there are different pools with different coins ...

#crysx

you probably have to modify some stuff using the autoconfig something or other. its probably in the readme file in that folder.

i try on win 7 64 and win xp
ccminer download from https://github.com/tsiv/ccminer-cryptonight
i replaced my geforce 660gtx which worked well
