Recommendation, the reliability will depend upon the characteristics of the clocking on the GPUs, and general health of the GPUs themselves. You might wnat to limit the claim of relability to default engine/memory clocks for the purposes of qualifying it... In addiiton you are correct it might take more then what you are offering..
Outside of the VDDC control I have 3.7.2 running for days/weeks at a time without one issue, none of the ASIC/FPGA code is compiled in (by default they are off) so it's all good.. Now focusing on improvements would be another matter entirely and perhaps this is a good way to kick that off..
Topic: [Bounty] New GPU Miner - Scrypter - page 3. (Read 3680 times)

It occurs to me that I posted my bounty in the wrong forum initally, so I am cross-posting it here, in the hopes that in the right place it will get more visibility. After careful consideration I'm also altering the goals. I expect this will require a larger bounty to accomplish, so I've added more to the pot and I'm hoping for donations to that end as well.
Any donations to this address will go 100% towards the bounty, which will be awarded to the first individual to complete all the objectives. I have sent .12BTC to that address, and it can be monitored so everyone can be sure that the complete balance goes toward payout.
If you want to donate, but want a refund if the bounty terms aren't met, PM me your donation amount and a refund address *before* you send your donation.
To be clear, you will only receive a refund on your donation if the bounty is closed without having been fulfilled.
The Bounty is closed.
General goals:
Create a new miner: Scrypter by forking CGMiner 3.7.2 and narrowing code for support of GPUs only.
Minimum Requirements:
Optional: Support Scrypt-Jane.
Notes:
Some GPUs are voltage locked, and will not be covered under this task. The cards that I have: Asus R9 280x DCII & Sapphire R9 280x Toxic can be controlled via OEM tools such as Afterburner, Trixx, & GPU Tweak. Those cards must be able to be VDDC controlled via the miner. Currently CGMiner 3.7.2 can control the Engine, Mem, & Fans. Powertune can be controlled, but it doesn't seem reliable.
To claim the bounty, you must be the first to PM me a link to your complete github source AND a link to your Windows binary (hosted via Mega/dropbox or other 'no wait' download provider).
There will be a 24-48 hour inspection and testing period to determine if the objectives have been correctly met before the bounty is considered won.

General goals:
Create a new miner: Scrypter by forking CGMiner 3.7.2 and narrowing code for support of GPUs only.
Minimum Requirements:
- Miner must be able to properly control VDDC, Engine, Mem, Powertune, and fans for all the unlocked R9 280x cards in a given rig.
- Enable Scrypt by default, no CLI switch should be needed
- Remove ASIC/FPGA code, drivers, and CLI options from the code base.
- All code must be open sourced, prior to claiming the bounty, so it can be inspected.
- Windows Binaries must be provided.
- Stable Code - must run minimum 24 hours without crashing
Optional: Support Scrypt-Jane.
