NSGminer v0.9.2: The Fastest Feathercoin / NeoScrypt GPU Miner

ghostlander

@mirrax It’s my NSGminer thread at BCT: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=712650.0

@ghostlander - Dude this is amazing!

on my 7950s I’m using the example in the BCT forum Ghostlander provides

nsgminer --neoscrypt -g 1 -w 128 -I 16 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 -o stratum+tcp://some_pool:some_port -O some_user:some_password

I’m getting a solid 231 Kh/s on each card. which is basically 130% increase as I was running an old version of CGminer and getting 94Kh/s per card.

i’m configuring my 2nd miner now which has 4 280X MSI cards…so this should be fun :-)

@aciddude CGminer v3.7.8 is unmaintained, it’s OpenCL kernel is way too old. Me and Wolf0 have much faster kernels now. More fun to come ;)

Do you have any test settings I can try for my 280Xs ? right now i’m getting 205Kh/s per card but I swear I’ve seen people say they can get 400+ out of one R9 280X…

I’m using -g 2 -w 64 -I 13

@aciddude PM me your rig details, I’m sure we can work it out.

Thanks dude, I sent you a chat on the FTC forum…since either i’m blind…or I cant see a PM function.

Ha ha, yes I kind of guessed this.

for anyone who cares…I used to have 2 miners hashing at 0.90 Mh/s with the new miner software from Ghostlander my total hashrate is now 2 Mh/s :-) the correct response is…“WOOOOP!”

does anyone have Lizhi’s p2pool details? we were skyping and he mentioned going to block version 3…I said I’d throw some hashing power his way but I cant find his pool details.

Wellenreiter

Normally you can find the p2pool nodes here: http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de/

Lizhi’s pool is in china and the IP address starts with 215.X.X.X

It seems to be offline at the moment.
The address for your miner would be 215.X.X.X:19327
User = <your wallet address>
Pass = <any>

There is no real difference for the miner, just the wallet running at the pool is able to use Block Version 3

Block version 3 is not enforced at the moment, as older versions of the client can’t use it.

Please deem the 0.9.5 and 0.11.X versions of the wallet/daemon as developer versions until one of them get’s a release flag on github and is annouced as release here. :D

ayyyeeeeee, mate… always saw ur name at d pool ther…but never talkin…

hye ho then…

plus, d best thing is, it shows d current block we re workin and will be pay…is it right that, @ghostlander…?

If you find it indeed :) If your share carries enough diff to solve a block, the miner says “Accepted FA384AFC04000000x0 Diff 873.249/2.000 BLOCK! OCL 1 pool 0”. If the pool doesn’t report this block as solved later, it steals from you.

About 40K FTC received in donations, that’s about 0.3 BTC. Keep’em coming ;)

I’ve ordered a Gigabyte GTX 750 Ti (GV-N75TOC-2GI). Have got it today and testing now. I’m able to get 115KH/s at 1200MHz shaders or 133KH/s at 1400MHz shaders (~70% TDP). There are minor issues, but shares get solved just fine, no HW errors.

sending 800ish ftc for now to you, have my withdrawal addr set to you for now as well ;)

running at 3MH/s currently, hoping to add another 2.4 MH/s tonight Muhaha, lots of work though holy shhhh

This is probably a dumb question, but can you explain the screen output? Its been awhile since I have used CG or BFGMiners.

Specifically the hash rate, there seems to be three per video card listed - what does each one represent?

ghostlander

@AmDD It’s in the README:

5s: A 5 second exponentially decaying average hash rate
avg: An all time average hash rate
u: An all time average hash rate based on actual accepted shares

The same per GPU.

I saw where it explained 5s and avg but didnt continue reading further where it mentions the columns. Thanks.

I used to run my miners with -c pools.conf and had multiple pools with failovers in that file, what is the syntax for this miner? I cant seem to get it to work with my pool file.

ghostlander

@RIPPEDDRAGON Let it write a config file and edit it. [S] and [W]

thanks, ill take a look when I get back tonight
