First off, thanks to the coders for all their hard work.  It is very appreciated.

Since Build 54, I have been unable to solo mine quark on my 750 TI.  The recent builds all work just fine with pools, but 54 was the last that will connect to my wallet and actually mine.  Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen.

Here is my contribution to the ccminer-sp effort.
I just posted a pull request:
Code:
Enhanced neoscrypt kernel:
improved hashrate of about 10% (gtx 970)
code cleanup
hardware error printing
other enhancements
Please note that it's not just an hashrate increase, there is a lot of code enhancement and cleanups under the hood.
Also note that I didn't test it on cards other than 970.
Donation BTC address is in my signature.
(Depending on how my effort is supported, I'll see whether to post my future works or not)
Enjoy! :-)

Thank you for your pullrequest. My gigabyte 970 went from 520-540 to 560-570KHASH. The 750ti's seems to be up 5KHASH, but I think will tune the kernals when I get time.

Thanks Pallas for the improvements.

Thanks to whoever donated a couple beers for my neoscrypt work! :-)

RELEASE dot 59 NEOSCRYPT--
Per card hash rates increased measurably:
     2GB GTX 750ti FTW:     +22-25 kh/s per card  (~190kh/s)
     2GB GTX 960 SSC:       +30 kh/s per card  (~345kh/s)
     4GB GTX 970 FTW+      +50-55 kh/s per card  (~550kh/s)
Quark values look slightly better; I haven't mined other algos.       --scryptr
Wich version did you compare with? 58 was released yesterday(without the pallas neoscrypt schanges) , and 59 today with his changes.
Remember to donate some beers to Pallas guys. 10% increase makes Neoscrypt profitable.
Thanks Sp_!
I'm glad that the improvement I worked on is available on smaller cards as well.
What about 980 and 980Ti, anyone?

But Djm34's private kernal is faster. over 200Khash on the 750ti without overclocking.
Want to merge your changes DJM34?
Create a pull request and I will merge it.
Free cold beers are waiting. Wink
I don't really have time at the moment, but people can always pledge at my neoscrypt btc address to motivate a bit...

NeoScrypt   3341   9.9882 *  1144%

Nicehash is currently paying 10BTC / (1 day of GHASH/s/  , so NEoscrypt ismore profitable than quark on all the NVIDIA models..

But this can change tomorrow.


1 GHASH of Neoscrypt is around 1750 gtx 970 cards with the latest ccminer release 59

or

7150 AMD 280x cards with the opensource miner (sgminer)

Hi
it seems that -g 2 Parameter is not working anymore
with release 1.5.58 on GTX 750TI -x11
not necessary anymore?

Should work, but not sure if it is faster.
I think the gpu is out of memory. Combine the -g 2 with a  lower intensity like -X 5

NEOSCRYPT dot 59--

The last time I mined Neoscrypt was with dot 57 or before.  There was a "wave" on NiceHash where Neoscrypt was paying well, better than all the other algos.  I dug in and have been riding it, all manually.  There is a real improvement in the Neoscrypt algo, and it is explained above.       --scryptr

thats a great number of increases here ...

ill be testing them in the farm when i get over this disgusting illness / chest cold ... a few more days i think and i should be back on track ...

btw - the donation systems seem to be stable and are ready to go live on wednesday ...

so if your way of donation is via mining to sp or pallas ( or the other devs we have setup servers for ) - then this will be fully functional this coming wednesday afternoon ( adelaide australia time ) ...

updates and instructions will be updated on the op here if you are interested - https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/a-chainworks-industries-cwi-project-donate-by-mining-dbm-1089744 ...

tanx guys ...

X11's default intensity was before set at -X 5. Now the default intensity  is -X 19.5. (+30kHASH on the 750ti) (1% faster)

Similar changes in x13 and x15 with around 1% more hash just by changing the intensity.. This is because the simd kernal is using almost half the memory it did before.

-Merged pallas pullrequest. (neoscrypt 10% faster on compute 5.2)
-Fixed the intensity parameter
-Submitted speedups in quark,x11,x13,x14 and x15
-Added a new parameter called Xintensity.
  -X can be a number between 0-999
f.eks -X 16
1.5.59(sp-MOD) is available here: (10-08-2015)
https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer/releases/
The sourcecode is available here:
https://github.com/sp-hash/ccminer
what's the difference between -i and -X?
did you notice on api's "threads" command the intensity (I) value always stays at 0.0?

the -X switch is just threadcount of X * 256*256. Linary threadcount and not exponential.

-X 1  is the same as -i 16

Submitted a new fix for the api and stats:

-The API will only report stats if enabled with the -b switch

Updated the exe file.

Hi sp_
i just downloaded the new version, still says 1558, and the weird thing is that it does not log to syslog like all the others, as a result I have no way of updating display and webpage of the miner, how can I do to log to syslog like the other ones?
thanks!

I tested intensities from 20 to 24, all gives me at least 500Kh less, per card, than default.
at intensity 20 is when weird things starts to happen, power consumption SKYROCKETED!, from 650W to 780W   Shocked WTF!

Thanks for testing, I found a bug in the intensity code and will submitt a fix. Then I will build release 59 with pallas speedups in neoscrypt.
