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.

@aciddude Chat == PM ;)

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.

[RIPPEDDRAGON]

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]

[RIPPEDDRAGON]

thanks, ill take a look when I get back tonight
