Dear Zawawa, i was busy few days, couldnt report back sorry. I can also confirm that , after 1.1.8 to -->1.1.9 some thing went wrong..Gpu reorder is okay but..Only efficient working verison is still 1.1.8  for me.. I couldnt test  after  1.1.9 ,  but  please  search the problem between 1.1.8 and 1.1.9..  

1.1.9 --> temp goes very high, opening lags 1 -2 minutes (with 16 gb system ram +58 gb virtual memory)
1.1.8--->  opening quite  fast,temp is  ok,  hash rate (cyrptonight) is better, than 1.1.9 ...just (gpu reorder problem for me)..

i will test and report with images..Thank you by the way..

edit: at the same time you released 1.1.3  , I will test this one.

edit2: in version 1.1.9 there is an extra file in work directory : GatelessGateSharp.vshost.exe  , at other  verisons I couldnt see  this  one , is this a bug, or you know that already ?

Gateless Gate Sharp 1.1.13 alpha
https://github.com/zawawawa/GatelessGateSharp/releases/tag/v1.1.13-alpha

* Improved responsiveness with Native Image Generator.

The miner should launch much faster after the first run. Enjoy!

Nicehash balance and estimated profits showed only with cryptonight algo, with nicehash neoscrypt this data not showing.

And strange bug with these 17.2.2 drivers. On all versions GGS from 1.1.8 to 1.1.12 after start mining and stopping after, 1st GPU (monitor connected) continue to show 100% activity. Core clock is maximum, memory clock at 300. Temperature is low, but a bit higher than at 300/300, fan drop to low or 0%. All functions work. Miners starting on it and works at 97-99% speed on this GPU. Computer hangs during rebooting. And not rebooting until power off and on. Maybe this happens because of modded bios of my card? On 17.11.4 this bug didn't happened.
On Claymore miners this bug happens too, but much rare. It's need some time to mine to bug happen. On GGS it happens stright after starting...

P.S. Neoscrypt kernel gives rejected shares about target even with 256 intensity. Not so often, but happens.

P.P.S. Neoscrypt consumes too much power... Nearly as athereum dual mode, just a lilttle less.

zawawa, how to use this miner for console mode?
I do not need a GUI, it's inconvenient.
If there is no such mode, please add it. Thx :3

that's what i'm looking for too

Neoscrypt kernel gives many rejected shares about target. With intensity 768 and 512. With 256 speed much lower.

I wouldn't recommend anything beyond 256. If you get 700 with RX 480, that's pretty good already.
Hmm, rx 580 with 512 intensity gives 810-820 h/s. With 256 about 775.
And power consumption... It's need to lower it. You said about asm for neoscrypt. No time to integrate it?

I just tried Native Image Generator, and the difference was day and night. lol
I actually really start liking C#...

Thanks again for this great software but i have to admit i stoped using it.
With each Version the GUI became less and less responsive for me, waiting up to 1 Min. just to change something, no thanks.

I've also switched to Linux(ethOS) to get rid of this windows driver bullshit.  Grin

Pls consider a Linux / cmd version and maybe get rid of this unreponsive GUI stuff in Windows and try a webinterface/config?





Yeah, this is a serious problem for PC's with a small amount of RAM.
I don't know if it's GUI, though. It could well be C#.
I know you made the switch already, but I will look into this problem anyway.

Rig Specs:
G1840
8GB RAM
3xRX580
3xRX570
Windows 320GB HDD
ethOS 16GB USB Stick.

Thanks, maybe this will help other ppl. ,  still looking forward to see your miner in ethOS and similar distros.  Wink

what is this "brake pedal" you speak of?
Didn't Claymore's have a similar requirement?
All sorts of weird things happen with a small page file size, so it's better to stay on the safe side...
Yes, it is. But his miners only show warning in console mode and in readme. But they are don't show error or offer to change it...
And problem with small page file is only can occure with his Cryptonote miner and with -dmem 1 option, when each GPU start to use up to 8Gb VRAM.
GGS in cryptonight mode maximum use 4,5-5Gb of VRAM, and about 1-1,5Gb on 270X card. So 16Gb will be quite enough for me. I'm understand that 20Gb im my config will be more safe. But I think that option to disable this warning is the normal situation. Every can decide himself wich system parameters he will use...

Well, let's see how the next version pans out, OK?
If the miner runs stably without this restriction, I would lift it.

kinda surprised at this moaning about big page files, i mean with the thousands of dollars to build a decent mining rig, whats an extra 50 bucks for a 128+ gig ssd? a big page file is no problem as long as you have the drive space, so whats the problem?  i run a 60 gig pagefile in win10pro build 1709 (running claymore, dstm, ewbf at the same time) on a 128 gig msata ssd. and have no problems. granted havent tried this miner yet but if you wanna play, you gotta pay. make it easy on the developer and let him concentrate on the important stuff, not those "problems" that a user can fix just by following the recommendations in the README.

wanna chance an unstable rig? be my guest. myself, i follow directions and go for 100% uptime.

zawawa, thanks for you hard work. ill be testing this miner soon.

EDIT: 8 gigs ram on system

Gateless Gate Sharp 1.1.12 alpha
https://github.com/zawawawa/GatelessGateSharp/releases/tag/v1.1.12-alpha

* Implemented a workaround for SQLite.
* Addressed stability issues with CryptoNight.

It seems that the latest AMD drivers prefer lower values for intensity.
If you still experience stability issues with this version, you could try decreasing intensity first.
Any numbers for intensity? Wich is for RX 580 now?

Gateless Gate Sharp 1.1.11 alpha
https://github.com/zawawawa/GatelessGateSharp/releases/tag/v1.1.11-alpha

* Addressed stability issues with the GPU order workaround.
* Added utilities for system configurations on the Misc. tab page.

I find these utilities pretty useful. I feel so lazy energy-conscious...
