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

wrapper

Yes, it’s cool that Ghostalander is maintaining a GPU miner for Neoscrypt.
The speed up must be in the miner code, I tried compiling in the Neoscrypt.cl kernel from it into sgminer and it still gives 75 KHash/s on the R9 270 under Linux.

I recall SGminer recommends to use xintensity. It isn’t guaranteed to deliver power of 2 thread numbers which is a must for my kernel. The classic intensity results in (2 ^ intensity) thread numbers which is fine.

AmDD

Are there windows binaries available?

ghostlander

@AmDD No, I don’t use Windows. Although I can compile the miner in a VM like anything else, I cannot test the OpenCL part if it works actually. That’s why no binaries at this moment.

Thanks for that Ghostlander, I moved over mining to Linux, but it’s great Windows binaries are available to those that need them from a trusted source …

AmDD

I normally bounce back and forth between Linux and Windows for mining. Its nice to have the option and I know a number of other users are Windows only.
Thanks for the work, @ghostlander !

@ghostlander its crashing on nvidia latest driver, if i load up visual studio to debug, the error is a memory access violation.

Screenshot here: http://puu.sh/mmQgw/2d732605b6.png

It creates the compiled binary, but nothing appears on the screen and it just crashes

@SpartanC001 woops
just realised it did give an output: http://puu.sh/mmQjl/fce2a93dbc.png

It used to be for AMD drivers? Can you try the Nvidea miner, Wellenreiter says there is one somewhere on the forum … I’ll look later if you can’t find it / waiting to see what Ghost (dev) says…

Wellenreiter

I used the sources from here

There is also a branch for windows

I’m not aware of any pre-compiled binaries.

ghostlander

@SpartanC001 Assume it doesn’t work on NVIDIA. No NVML support compiled in, no compatible OpenCL kernel, no NVIDIA hardware to test anything on my side.

nsgminer-win64-0.9.0.zip can not download. where download it ?

lizhi

OK, Download it right.

SpartanC001

Ah, previous sgminers worked on nvidia, i get 765 kh/s on my titan x atm, so no worries about that, just wondered how nsgminer compared

finding this with nsgminer 0.9.0

‘Pool 0 is hiding block content from us’

ghostlander

@FlatBlack “Pool 0 is hiding block contents from us” means an overloaded Stratum pool most likely.

BTW, good hash rates. Four R9 290?

:grin: :relaxed: :blush: aaahhhh… thanx for clearing that for me, Mr @ghostlander

done…!!! thanx anyway…

hopefully, this nsgminer can be used with amd 14.9 n above… ;o)
