      Use my SGMiner 5 compile for neoscrypt.

      earlier was 4.2.2 version, is there another outhere?

        It’s actually SG5 - the dev branch is misnamed.

          Wolf0’s compile is a development snapshot of sgminer5. Every development snapshot of sgminer I have used has had the version as 4.2.2 even though it’s really version 5.

          Edit: Wolf beat me to it

            I used this link: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer

            Do you have forked it?

              No, that’s the link - use the develop branch.

                That’s exactly what I did:

                git clone --recursive -b develop git(at)github.com:sgminer-dev/sgminer.git

                autogen.sh

                configure

                make all / make install

                  Odd - I have none of the issues you described.

                    can you try to mine on pool http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 ?

                    User= your wallet address or any other name

                    Pass= any

                    If you start the miner in text mode with -D and -P you will see, that the miner switches to long-poll, but does not use stratum.

                    If you force stratum with stratum+tcp://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 and -fix-protocol you’ll see (or at least I see) a message ’ no pool to get work from’

                    The only difference I see for the rest of the problems is, that I have a NVidia 750ti, no AMD based card.

                      I’m using SGMiner 5 on yaamp.com right this minute. I’ll check the debug output, though.

                      Nope - I see gen_stratum_work() and all other kinds of stratum stuff.

                        and how about old cards 5800 6800 6900 series?

                          It should run. Not gonna be great on them - the kernel code is pretty bad copy+pasted CPU code, except for what I edited, and 6xxx have hardware vectors, so they REALLY could use OpenCL-specific vector types in the kernel. Even better if you vectorize the algorithms; I haven’t thought much about Blake2S, but vectorizing salsa and chacha so that the card can execute 4 integer operations at once would be child’s play.

                            What would it take to get you to vectorize the kernel for 6000 series cards? Pls Wolf. Pls. :)

                              I already gave you guys something; besides, I don’t have a pre-GCN card to test on.

                                It’s ok Wolf, you have already done so much.

                                insanid, the official team will look into that for you I hope.

                                Let’s see what we can do.

                                  Wolf0, and how to get 270 kh/s on 280x as you (with SG v5 on win 7/8)?

                                    Rewrite pretty much all of the kernel; also, make sure the 280X has Hynix memory - Elpida seems to do less. Then again, I only have 2 280X cards, so it could be one just sucks, too - but I’d guess it’s the memory.

                                      Thank you Wolf. We appreciate your work.

                                        Wolf0, you said this:

                                        Oddly, even on my own in-dev kernel, my 290X at 1125/1600 (memory type unknown) does 250kh/s, while my Hynix 280X does 255kh/s - 265kh/s at 1150/1500… weird.

                                        And how this get on win7 with SG5?

                                        255 kh/s )) I wanna it )

                                          We all want Wolf’s personal kernels, but he’s said a few times that he won’t be giving them to us. He’s already done enough. Let the Wolf be free.

                                            This is getting weird. I’m used to getting hated on, not used to being defended. :P

                                            Anyway, maybe I’ll start a thread with those hashrates, as well as interesting info about Neoscrypt on a technical level - maybe some basic descriptions of what I did to it, as well, and things I’d like to do.
