I found out how to compile the cl when I checked the code too Cheesy

But maybe Linux driver issue or so, I cannot compile the kernel.

Using device 0 as GPU 0
Using device 1 as GPU 1
Compiling ...
Source: 65657 bytes
binsize = 427808 bytes
OpenCL error: -30 at ../xpmclient.cpp:852

Actually I tried eXtremal's original open source miner too and never compile right neither.
He said AMD SDK is buggy and I used ATI driver compiler but still not successful.

I've found subtle solution if you have more than 1 card.

Disable all BUT 1 card in config.txt. Run xpmminer. kernel.bin is created. Shut down miner. Undo changes in config. Run with normal config.
Works for me.

I will compile it today evening, now I'm in work, and then 400km to travel :-)
Thanks for sharing solution!

If you change TARGET in .cl files, make new kernel.bin then your CPD in stats also will change.

edit:

270X settings for DTC:

Code:

#define SIZE 4096			// Size of local sieve array (must be multiple of 1024)
#define LSIZE 256			// Local worksize for sieve (don't change this)
#define STRIPES 400			// Number of sieve segments (you may tune this)
#define WIDTH 20			// Sieve width (includes extensions, you may tune this)
#define PCOUNT 38400		// Number of sieve primes (must be multiple of 256, you should tune this, 40960 is for 280X)
#define SCOUNT PCOUNT		// Don't change it
#define TARGET 9			// Target for s_sieve

how to make the kernel.bin?

You have to have gpu/ folder inside miner.exe location, with *.cl files.
Rename old kernel to kernel.bin.old for safety. Run miner, new kernel should compile. Done.

I didn't mine much XPM so even I plan to donate 10% to MadMax it is just a few coins... and I may not mine XPM any more as the difficulties raised to a point that makes it not much profitable...

But I think I can make some contribution instead of donation

As MadMax said he used cgminer adl.cpp, which I think is a copy of some sample code too.
He changed it from c to cpp but nothing big is changed.

I figured out there are 2 things to make it works.

Like using cgminer, you need to set
export DISPLAY=:0

otherwise the ADL_Main_Control_Create seems thinking no active adaptor available giving "ADL Initialisation Error! Error"

After fixing this there is a second error from ADL_Adapter_AdapterInfo_Get. I checked the error code and it said one parameter is wrong/mismatch.
This is subtle, and not sure if only works in my case. I found that it is sizeof argument ... maybe in Windows it is default to 32bit but in Linux 64bit for etc.
I cast it to unsigned long and it works. i.e.

result = ADL_Adapter_AdapterInfo_Get (lpInfo, (unsigned long) sizeof (AdapterInfo) * iNumberAdapters);

See if MadMax or eXtremal can compile xpmclient for Linux distribution.

What I noticed is when I use single card its CDP is reported to pool, but when I use f.e. 4 cards miner shows CDP but pool is not.
I will try to investigate it in next few days and broken ADL under linux too.

Datacoin diff is 9 so i think he means 50x 9ch! Your miner says the true cpd targeting 10ch!

Yes I know the miner shows 10ch, but if 9ch cpd is approximately 10 times of 10ch than his little tweak is way more than little as it means a 270x can do 5cpd for 10ch... of course, it is all rough estimation?

idk mate i wouldn't take his calculations as gospel id just mine and be happy with it. Go and talk on the datacoin threads for someone to tweak it i guess

I am giving it a try for a day and see how it actually got paid compare with XPM... Is there a fee in your pool?

re: CPD, xpmclient still shows the original primecoin 10-ch data... I assume it is roughly 10x for 9-ch of DTC but then 270X with 50cpd is doing much more than 10x...

EDIT: Your worker web interface doesn't work neither... so it is no way to know the true cpd...

Does the madMAx xpm work with it? Or does it need a modded version?

Yes, miner from 1st page of this thread works in 100%, I use linux version mostly, but just checked it on my 270X on Windows, and was able to get 50 cpd with little tweaking.

Is your pool ddos protected? or you will suffer same problem with madMAx510510

Hi,

I've made new pool for datacoin.

In miner config.txt use:

server ip: 92.222.24.57, port: 6666, as address use your datacoin address.

Web stats are here: http://92.222.24.57:6680/
Pool will send coins to your datacoin address when you mine more than 11 DTC, when they have mature to 100 confirmations. With GPUs that will be faster than you think :-D

Sample miner working:
Work received: height=339420 diff=9.7432844 latency=32ms GPU 0 found share: 7-ch type 2 GPU 0 found share: 8-ch type 2 Share accepted. Share accepted.

Use on your own risk! Good luck and have fun!

Marcus.
