I only read the last 6 pages on this so my sincear appology for asking if it has been resolved before.

I am trying to run nsgminer.exe with this command

nsgminer.exe --api-listen -k neoscrypt -o stratum+ssl://hub.miningpoolhub.com:17012 -u Etherion.ws10 -p x --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 64 --intensity 13 --thread-concurrency 64

I only get a cmd window wiht the titeal nsgminer.exe and a blinking curser

running on windows 10 64 bit
amd driver 16.11.3
7 RX480 4GB

what can I do to get nsgminer to run?

If i run nsgminer.exe --benchmark --neoscrypt it does start but not results.

Hi All,

I am currently using nsgminer to mine Neoscrypt (FTC) coins and getting a hash rate of about 800KH/s from my two AMD RX480 Sapphire Nitro Plus cards. I feel this hash rate is a bit too low! Anyone else having the same setup who can throw some light on hash rate i should be able to achieve?
If i can achieve better hash rates, could you please share your bat file command line instruction, to see if it matches or tips on how to improve the hash rate, would be appreciated! Thanks!

So...optimization for rx480 (ellesmere graphics) is not a option?

You can try Zawawa's kernel if you want to experiment.

you forgot the Trojan there. well i dont get this message on other miners at all.

But

 if this isnt one, thanks for your work and effort to the community. i just shared what i saw, everybody needs to decide for them selve to use or not.

Hi I want to know if this temperature is normal or I have to turn it off the video card already has 2 years of normal use just now I start to mine.

Where I can calculate earnings with NeoScrypt. Do you recommend mining with nvidia video cards?

I have given your kernel a spin on my notebook with HD6750, got 25KH/s. My current parallel kernel outputs 45KH/s there with 3x lower kernel binary size. Perhaps your kernel isn't supposed to run on this hardware. I'll check with newer video cards later.

A follow-up. I've tested it on a HD7990. Produces 900KH/s vs. 880KH/s of my kernel. No scratch registers used, but ISA size is 174Kb vs. 40Kb of my kernel. It stores all data buffers as uint's and bitaligns them for processing using conditionals. This is an interesting approach, though not for older GPUs definitely because they hate branching. That's why I went another way to optimise for older and newer GPUs at the same time. I guess it's time to split work into two separate kernels and optimise them independently.

Yeah, my optimizations are only for GCN. Like you said, they don't make any sense for VLIW4/5.
I did a quick run and got 970KH/s on my stock 7990 with Crimson 16.9.2.
I am currently working on an offline OpenCL compiler for GCN with inline assembly support.
If I can pull this off, we will see more interesting stuff.  Wink

I'm getting:

Invalid (out of bounds) block target 0xDE1D0F1C




This is just solomining on 0.9.6

The miner receives incorrect input data and tells you. The current FTC network difficulty is about 10^4. The miner reports 10^18.

How does this make sense when I'm connected to a fully synced 0.9.6 client ?

Those who did QA on the v0.9.6 missed the solo mining part, i.e. getwork. It's broken. Try with the v0.8.7.3 to see the difference.



Ok thanks man, I'll ask the Feathercoin Devs to look into it.

I totally forgot to announce it here. With Gateless Gate, my new miner, you should be able to get 700Kh/s with an overclocked RX 480:

https://github.com/zawawawa/gatelessgate
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/gateless-gate-sharp-138-30mhs-ethash-on-rx-480-1716584

Let me know if you are still interested.
