Title: PTS and NRS GPU Miner PtsGPUz v0.5b for Windows(GTX 750Ti~820cpm)
Post by: abc123 on January 09, 2014, 10:29:02 am
    This is BitShares-PTS (ProtoShares, PTS) and NoirShares (NRS) GPU Miner PtsGPUz v0.5b 2014-05-05 by abc123z (abc123,z),
which is modified from jhProtominer (v0.1e yPool.net). This miner supports both NVIDIA and AMD display card.
For AMD card, AMD APP SDK needs to be installed.
5% of user's harvest will be mined to author's account in public mining pools as fee.
Three TCP connections will be created when run, one connected to ypool.net for author,
another to pts.rpool.net or ptspool.com randomly for author, one for user.
This miner use nearly zero CPU time, and support multi NVIDIA and AMD display cards work concurrently on one PC.
The displayed collisions/minute is the net performance, the 5% portion send to author's account is subtracted.
    This miner use x.pushthrough(xpt) protocol, ypool.net, pts.rpool.net and ptspool.com support this.
    Memory Recommend: Main Memory >=2GB, Video memory >=1.5GB. If you encounter memory not enough prompt
on multi display cards system, try to increase the system virtual memory.
    When using NVIDIA GTX 750 or GTX 750Ti, 64 bit version (PtsGPUz0.5b_x64.exe) is 20% faster than 32 bit version.
There is no difference on performance between 64bit and 32bit version when using display card other than GTX 750 and GTX 750Ti.
    This miner is protected from being analyzed by exe file shell tool, so may be reported for virus.
Please don't worry about this.

    To run PtsGPUz0.5b.exe and PtsGPUz0.5b_x64.exe, you need to update to the newest Nvdia driver
334.82 or 335.23, which can be download at:
http://www.geforce.com/drivers/
    To run PtsGPUz0.5b_x64.exe on Windows 7 x64, you need to install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2010
Redistributable Package (x64)", which can be download at:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=14632
    NVIDIA cards that support at least SM 2.0 is required, view this page to find whether a NVDIA card support it or not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA
    AMD APP SDK can be download at:
http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/
    Note: only AMD APP SDK v2.9 is tested, this miner may not works on older version of AMD APP SDK.
    The newest AMD Catalyst can be downloaded at:   http://support.amd.com/en-us/download

Why this miner?
    Fastest CUDA PTS miner so far as I know.
    32 bit exe that works on both 32bit and 64bit Windows.

Usage: PtsGPUz0.5b.exe [options]
Options:
   -o, -O        The miner will connect to this url
                    You can specifiy an port after the url using -o url:port
   -u            The username (workername) used for login
   -p            The password used for login
   -t <num>      The number of threads for mining use NVIDIA GPU
                 (default all NVIDIA GPUs)
                 -t 128: All NVIDIA display cards(default); -t 2: GPU 0 and 1;
                 -t 1: Only use One GPU, use -d 0 to specify to use CUDA device 0.
   -d <num>
   -da <num>     Default all AMD GPUs, use '-da 0 -da 2' to only use AMD GPU 0 and 2.

System Requirement: Main Memory >=2GB, Video memory >=1.5GB. Less memory may work, this is to be tested. NVDIA cards that support at least SM 3.0 is required, view this page to find whether a NVDIA cards support it or not:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA

I see you found which constants to tune to get a little more speed at the use of a little more memory. :-)

If anyone running Linux wants to try to match his performance numbers, change the constant:

#define NUM_COUNTBITS_POWER 31

in gpuhash.cu from 31 to 32.  You'll have to have about 1.2GB of memory on your GPU, but if you have it, you'll get a better c/m rate that should match what the above author posted.  I plan a future release that auto-selects this a bit more carefully.

n.b.  It's perfectly within the license of the code I released to re-brand and add your own donation to it, but I just want to be clear to the forum that these donations aren't going to me.  Obviously, however, it's also a pain to get these things working on Windows.

abc123, brother (or sister), I'm all for you taking a tax, but I hope you'll open up your source code reasonably soon enough. For all I know, you've learned from the compile errors which I and others posted in this thread:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2114.0 (https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2114.0)

-- and now you alone are taking a "tax" for it. It's not even clear how this tax is levied. (Or, for that matter, whether it installs a secret back-door that harvests wallet.dat files and sends them to you.) Does the miner stop mining at the address given on the command line for half an hour per day, and switch to mine to your address?

Ha! Guess what? I'm gonna bitch-slap you. I'll find the address you hard-coded (wherever its hiding in the binary), paste in my own address, and post it with my SOB story, begging for folks to post a wee bit 'o pittance for my efforts to me -- by mining with it.

Yeah, baby! If you can't beat the closed-source grubbers, join 'em . . .

Perhaps after bigger fish.  Running a binary file from an unknown source is probably the most dangerous thing you can do.  At the very least I'd only run this binary on a computer with a throw-away Windows install connected to a completely separate network from my other machines and then only if I felt this binary would return a substantial profit vs other avenues.


If you're getting something for free you'd otherwise need to pay for you're not the customer you're the product.

I gotta agree with this.

Screw reverse-engineering this. I am not going to try to patch it to mine to some other address--I had thought of establishing a donation address that way, to fund developing an open-source Windows compile (for example by mining five percent of the time to the donation address), but I'm not going to bother. And I am not going to run this executable.

If someone very expert with reverse-engineering/computer forensics wants to make sure this executable does nothing malicious, and/or patch it to mine to a donation address for the purpose I mention, I'd welcome that.

And as an alternative:  If someone wants to team up to make binary builds of my miner that split donation mining between us, I'd be delighted to collaborate.  I don't have the time to maintain the software at the level that makes it really easy to use, but I _do_ have the ability to devise some more speedups to keep it a fast and effective tool.

Almost all mining work is done on GPU in my miner, so the mining efficiency of the 64bit binary version is same with 32bit's. As all x86-64 Windows system support 32bit exe file, the release of 64bit binary version makes no sense but to increase confusion. I will release the x86-64 exe file in my new version of this miner. You can test it by yourself then.

So if I opt to download a movie that was released on DVD instead of paying for it from Amazon, then I have become that DVD?!


If you do the right kind of drug you may feel that way  :D [size=78%]. [/size]


Google doesn't provide folks Gmail for free out of the goodness of their heart.  They're scraping keywords from email to sell targeted ad opportunities.  You're not their customer you're their product they sell to advertisers.  You can extend that concept to just about everything of value you get for "free".


Usually harmless, sometimes nefarious.  I just feel it's worth trying to understand the motivation behind someone giving me something for "free".  Especially someone offering up a binary for folks to run as their first post :).


In the case of your downloaded movie: someone had to take the time to rip it, encode it, and publish it.  Why would they do this?  Perhaps the reason is as simple as they hate the MPAA, and frankly that's not hard, and feel their work is taking money out of MPAA's pocket.  In that case you're no so much the product but the tool but the bottom line is they didn't do it for you and the cost is that if enough revenue is lost in this fashion less movies will be produced.  Unlikely, but that's just the first scenario I came up with in the 30 seconds I've thought about the cost of your "free" movie.  The adage gets a bit stretched when it comes to digital theft; especially if you never planed to buy the movie if you couldn't down load it...but I'm sure some folks download vs bought.

Refusing to engage in commerce on the basis of refusing to give others their due (or, more accurately, insisting on getting something for nothing) = greed = same driving principle (often) behind theft = same diff. I don't see a difference, and I don't think that's stretching it.

Now the miner is updated to version 0.2a beta.
Main change:
1. Support NVIDIA device with SM 2.0 and up.
2. Support multi cards work concurrently.
3. Fix: Miner may crash when network connection lose.
4. Change Miner behavior from exit to wait when start without network connection.

It seems not only cudaMemcpy failed, but also the following cudaFree failes.
Maybe display driver crash happen, and you ignore the prompt.
Try to set your GPU to it's default frequency.

Now the miner is updated to version 0.3
Main change:
1. May support SM 1.2 Nvidia device, need to be tested.
2. May can be run on display cards with less video memory, need to be tested.
3. Performance increase for large memory bus width device (eg. 384bit).
   The net performance of GTX 480, 480SP, 384bit increase from 800 c/min to 880 collisions/minute.

So memory bus is very important for performance? That explains why GTX570 can get 800+ cpm while GTX660TI can only get 600 cpm?

UPX is a software to compress exe file. I use it on both versions of PtsGPUz you mentioned, the compress option of v0.3 is set to higher to get more compression ratio. This may be the reason why v0.3 is detected to be "(Suspicious) - DNAScan".

From what I can tell after unpacking it and quickly taking a look, is that upon start-up it chooses one of these addresses at random

I haven't been able to see how it "donates" shares yet but I'll take another look later, it might create a new thread that is mining just for the author.

So, this miner actually mines for the developer.
https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2360.0

ABC123 - Can you explain this? Would you like to share how much you mine for yourself? I don't mind contributing 1-2% of my GPU resources to your development efforts, but I would like to know upfront so that I can make an evaluated decision.

I do not mind donating 20% of the mining to you, as long as you state clearly in the program that such donation exists. Not like the other existing miners which state donations when the program is launched, your software does not show such message, making us believe your software is free of tax. I think this is not right or honest. I find your software is easy to use, and I suggest you add the information in the program (not only in the readme file) to clarify donations.

The memory bus width of GTX 680 is 256 bit, while GTX 480 is 384 bit. So GTX 480 may get slight higher performance.

Are u fuckin serious!?
You have the fastest CUDA miner, faster than 1GH and you can mine on YPOOL! Not shitty 1GH pool. where block found rate is lame low so profits too.
In future ofc it should be lower, but for now when devs jusy made amazing job he should get premium.

But anyway, does someone tried this version?

Scanned, no viruses.
On my 680 CMP is lower than on normal version...

Your average payout in the long run does not depend on pool total CPM. Of course the dumber ones are free to trade their total payout for reduced variance.

Been using this for about half a day on RPool.

RPool shows a total paid out of .090523355

Yet when I run my wallet I don't have one transaction from RPool. Wallet shows up to date with 7 active connections. I have triple checked the wallet address and it matches from my wallet tothe payment in the bat

When does this program take it's fee?

All of my payments from 1GH shows up fine.

Been using this 0.3b for about one day. I've some problems. At first the speed was 1600CPM but this morning i found the speed was reduced to 800CPM.

My hardware is GTX780Ti

P.S This soft is very nice

800 cpm on 780ti? My version get 700 cpm on 650ti

On my 680 CMP is lower than on normal version...

strange, my results:

I was using my GTX 780 on my gaming machine, w/ top of the line RAM, mobo, CPU, etc... w/o even overclocking it, it would get ~9.2 rounds per second...  when I moved it to one of my old miner machines (though it isn't too bad, it's on a 680i SLI mobo, dual core e6850.. possibly the 2GB RAM?) it was only getting about 8 rounds per second

I guess that could be some of the difference

btw, would an 8800gtx be worth digging out of a storage shed for this?  or would it be something like 200-300 or less?

In my opinion, the performance that can be archived for GTX 580 or Tesla m2090 should be at least ~1100cpm, but it isn't. I don't know why...

Thank you. It could be my miner's fault. I am considering to buy a 3GB version of GTX 580 to see why cudaMemcpy failed.
Is it runs at 600 to 650 CPM initially, or only after cudaMemcpy failed?

The memory usage is designed 500~600MB in card with compute capability 2.0. To use more memory on my GTX 480 can't increase performance. The reason why Tesla m2090 only gets half of the anticipated performance remains unknown. Thank you.

hi, it seems my 660ti doesn't work with your 0.3c version. It has 1152SP and 192bit memory width and 1.5G memory. With 0.3b it can get ~750cpm. With 0.3c it only gets 400cpm. I don't know if you can find the reason just by looking into code. But anyway, thank you for all the efforts.

How did you get your 760 OC memory that high? I am around 6700 right now. did you need to bump the voltage?

I have built jhProtominer github commit from 2013-11-23 (bc32c370) and it appears to work just fine. Did all shares from your miner get rejected when you were testing or only some?

Actually, 'unknown-work' is kind of stale share and there normally cannot be more than one in a row.

The performance of GTX 780 on version 0.4 and version 0.3c shoud be no difference.  Use old version if you found the performance of newer version is lower.

maybe it should make no diff, but it definitely does.  the dropoff is quite noticeable, and it's a lot more than 5%, more like 20%

Hi everybody, I'm a full newbie and I just started in the mining...

But I've tested the Miner on my 2x GTX580 system. It work very fine (around 2300-2400 cpm), thank you!
But now, I don't know exactly how to have a proof or verification of the mined PTS. Where can I see it?
Is it only at the end of the block? So after the ~47000 shares created?

I would appreciate you tell me a little more ... thank you very much!

  You can see it when you longin in yPool.net.
  Or click Stats in pts.rPool.net, click the newest block, then you can find your address and balance in that page.
  Or find your address at ptspool.com, wait 6 hours and check you wallet.

Also, it is more profitable to mine in pool or solo?

At 10,000 cpm, in yPool.net, you will get 3.7487*0.95=3.56 (PTS per day).
Note: 10,000 cpm means that you are running 12.5x Nvidia Geforce GTX 660.

hellow.
I'm using you miner for one Geforce GTX 580 and got 1280 cpm with overclocking videp-memory.
And also i'm using you miner for Geforce GTX 570 and got 1150 cpm with overclocking video-memory.

But i got a problem: when in my motherbord I installed both videocards, i'm don't got 2430 cpm ( 1280+1150).

I'm got only 2350 cpm.
For any reason both cards aren't loaded at once for 99%, only 95% everyone.  :(

My mining rig: Asus P5K(last version bios), Intel Dua Core E6500, 2 GB PC-6400 Memory, 80 GB HDD Seagate IDE(I don't remember model), Windows 7 X64 ultimate, and last version videodriver for videocards.


And my friend has just the same problem: his mining rig got 4*GTX 470. And he had 3100cpm. Bot one GTX 470 got 950 cpm.
And he has to receive 3800 cpm, but got only 3100  :(

Hi, abc123
I am using GTX 690 for pts. I reported one issue here by my experience. The 0.3c and 0.4 version could not work properly for GTX690 which based on what I found, the 2nd GPU only has 700 Mb RAM occupied, while 0.3b version works properly, i.e., both GPUs take 1.2-1.3 Gb ram and give me 2100 cpm.
I am here just wondering if you have chance to optimize the performance like GTX 690 (I believe 590 should face same issue) which has 2 GPUs on one board. It will be appreciated.

Why im connected on pts.rPool.net when i mining on ypool ?
  Miner fee (develpoer fee) is 5%, it is send to ypool.net and one of pts.rpool.net or ptspool.com randomly.
User can change the address if the pool's port has been changed or pool has been shutdown etc,
but I can't as the pool's address is hard-coded in my miner...
So there are two connections for develpoer, together 5%, it is the initial design which is designed in hurry,
although now I think 3 minutes each hour for developer maybe more appropriate.

Thanks for your report.

hi abc123, i get one problem that  the miner runs on  Win8.1 64bit   physical machine with hyper-v service, and  it shows an error "sorry, this application cannot run under a virtual machine "   why?
Thanks for your report. This may due to the wrong setting when I pack the miner, I am sorry for this. Try PtsGPUz v0.3b before new version release.

Hello.
I using you new miner for my geat miner rig on AMD videocards.
6 GPUS: Radeon 7970+7870+5850+5850+5850+5850.

And i get from all videocards only 3200 collisions\minute.  :(
But When i using this miner: https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2410.0
i  received from five videocard 4000 collisions  (miner on 6st the card didn't manage to start).

There is no changes for Nvidia cards in version 0.4b and 0.4c.
I haven't tested my miner on GTX 770 till now. It is GTX 660 on my computer for develop, which is also SM 3.0.
I don't think more significant performance increases can be made on GTX 660, unless defects in PTS proof of work
algorithm dicovered. 10~20% performance increases may be possible, but needs a lot of work.

    Version 0.4c is optimized and can be run on Evergreen (HD5xxx) series and later.

No. It is for Windows only till now.

hi abc123, 1gh?
Still not supported. 1gh use a different version of xpt protocol.

Hi abc123, will be any performance improvement for Cuda? We all know AMD is much much faster. :-(
"AMD will is much much faster" is not true for SHA512, it is true for SHA256 and scrypt.
I don't think more significant performance increases can be made on GTX 660.
10~20% performance increases may be possible, but needs a lot of work.
Greate performance improvement for Tesla etc may be possible, or may not. But Tesla card is very expensive,
and whether the performance can be improved is uncertain, so I have not made decision to buy one.

My friend's R9 280X can have 3100/3500 (default/OC) cpm on clpts-v0.2.2, and my gtx690 has 2200 cpm in total. I believe this means AMD now is much faster in SHA 512, single chip beats my two. clpts also asks for 2 threads for each chip like your miner, apparently, it is much more efficient and optimized.

Thanks for the information you provided. I don't have a R9 280x just now, on my HD7850 2GB, clpts-v0.2.2 is ~15% faster displayed, ~10% faster net than PtsGPUz v0.4c, which net performance is 840 cpm.
===================
Preliminary test result, only on HD6670 1GB:
AMD HD6670 1GB, test using AMD Catalyst 13.12, Windows 8 x64, G1610 CPU:
1. ominer 0.8, 425 cpm, fixed to upcpu, pool fee 2%, net performance user gets: 417 cpm;
2. PtsGPUz 0.4c, 380 cpm, pool fee 3% at ptspool.com, net performance user gets: 368 cpm;
3. ominer 0.9 preview 2, 336 cpm, fixed to upcpu, pool fee 2%, net performance user gets: 329 cpm;
4. clpts 0.2.2, 218 cpm, fixed to ypool.net, miner fee 5%, pool fee 5%, net performance user gets: 197 cpm.
Note: clpts 0.2.2 seem to be the fastest on AMD cards with 2GB or more video memory, but slowest on cards with 1GB memory.

The Tahiti improved in clpts 0.2 is significant, which used to net1200+ (similar to 680/670) in its  v0.1 or any other miners now. I believe only clpts 0.2 makse a big step. If as you said, pts is designed by sha512, ,which should make no different, then I believe cuda has no reason behind AMD.

hi @abc123,could you make your application writes running log to stdout, so i can use my watchdog script capture mining stats and restart mining process when cpm fall to 0.000 CPM accidently.

now i cannot pipe out anything from stdout or stderr when ptsgpuz running. Even start miner and pipe to text file with "> log.txt " is not working.

Thank you!

For example, knowing how much is the monthly PTS mining profitability with the same RIG (cpm) speed? Taking into account the rising progressive difficulty. Even for an idea...?

Note:
    For GTX 750Ti at 780cpm, you will get 0.077 PTS per day at yPool.net
now in theoretical, only values $0.45 per day now. It is recommanded to mine
ProtoShares PTS 30+ days later when the network difficulty goes down.

Test needed:
   Is there anybody who can test this miner (PtsGPUz0.5.exe and

Thank you very much abc123! This GPU Miner v0.5 is the best in all your miners! 8) Before I use this miner v5.0, I used the v3.0b. Because my GTX780 Lightning 1254/1502 can run around 1800 cpm in v3.0b,  but has problem in the other miners. It runs very slow in v4.0 to v4.0c. I have no idea about that!  :( The other thing is my GTX770DC2OC 1254/1752 and GTX660DC2OC 1097/1502 can run around 2000 cpm in v4.0c, but just 1700 cpm in v3.0b :'( I was waiting for a long time that you can improve the miner. :( Finally! You made a new and wonderful miner again! :) I can run my GTX780*2+GTX770DC2OC+GTX660DC2OC around 5700 cpm in v5.0! :) Thank you very much again!

it was running around 95% TDP (cudaminer goes to 107% when I have bar slid all the way over in evga precision)

I don't have a 780ti but I do have a 780. The miner reports around 2000cpm @1293/1502
Thanks for the performance information you provided.  I guess that the performance of GTX 780Ti will be 10% higher.

Thank you very much abc123! This GPU Miner v0.5 is the best in all your miners! 8) Before I use this miner v5.0, I used the v3.0b. Because my GTX780 Lightning 1254/1502 can run around 1800 cpm in v3.0b,  but has problem in the other miners. It runs very slow in v4.0 to v4.0c. I have no idea about that!  :( The other thing is my GTX770DC2OC 1254/1752 and GTX660DC2OC 1097/1502 can run around 2000 cpm in v4.0c, but just 1700 cpm in v3.0b :'( I was waiting for a long time that you can improve the miner. :( Finally! You made a new and wonderful miner again! :) I can run my GTX780*2+GTX770DC2OC+GTX660DC2OC around 5700 cpm in v5.0! :) Thank you very much again!
It is my mistake that GTX780 runs very slow in v0.4, I am sorry.
Technical explanation: SM (Shader Model) 3.5 code generation is added since version 0.4, hoping that will increase the performance for GTX 780Ti, but does decrease the performance around 20% for GTX 780 and GTX 780Ti. I did not find this before release as I don't have a GTX 780 and didn't ask others to test it. Further more, when zvs report that the performance on GTX 780 is poor, I just fell strange and ignore this report, as I am working on add supports for AMD card then.

I get an access denied when running 0.5 Also AVG always pops up as a virus detected.

Runs perfect on 0.3b.

Any idea on how to get it to connect.

I hover around 890cpm with my 750ti overclocked on Win64, using the 32bit version.

Not seeing any major difference between the 32bit and 64bit, in fact the 64bit appears to be slightly slower, around 870cpm.

Good work :)

1. This miner do not support Linux currently.
2. Clpts do not support AMD card with 1GB or less video memory well, either very slow or doesn't work, depending on which driver you are using. Clpts seems also do not support many different cards on one machine well. This miner does, it is much faster on AMD card with 1GB video memory than clpts, otherwise with 2GB video memory clpts is faster.
3. Developer fee of this miner is 5% currently, no matter which pool you are using.

Something new.

I have 4 750ti's on usb powered risers:http://www.hashratesolutions.com/products/6-pack-pci-e-powered-riser-card-60cm-24-usb-3-0-cable

Before I used these I had 2 in the pci-e slots and was getting about 1,000 cpm now I only get 1,900 cpm or 487 cpm per card. It looks like my cards are running at 1x in the pci-e slots. Could that be the reason for the lower cpm?

When I ran another PTS miner I only lost about 40 cpm per card but it originally only got bee 580-600 cpm per card. I would much rather use this one.

Thanks for the information you provided. You are right, it is because low PCI-E bandwidth when using PCI-E 1x risers.
This is the test result of mine:
(Windows 8 x64, driver 334.89, PCI-E 1.1 x1, Single GTX 750Ti)
PtsGPUz0.5.zip x64: 140cpm;
PtsGPUz0.5.zip x86: 96cpm;
PtsGPUz0.3c ~ PtsGPUz0.4c.zip: 100~110 cpm;
PtsGPUz0.3b.zip: 582cpm.

I am trying to fix this. It is recommended to use PtsGPUz0.3b.zip when using risers with GTX 750Ti currently.

Clpts v.0.2.2 may runs much faster than my miner when using AMD R9 290. Please use "-da 10" option with my miner to avoid using of AMD cards, and run clpts v.0.2.2 on AMD R9 290 together with my miner on Nvidia cards to get best performance.

I just noticed that when running the 0.5 it puts a serious load on the cpu. Using a 1100T, I get all 6 cores at 93%-100% load.

Is there a setting to shift all the work to the gpu's?

EDIT: When running the 3b there is virtually no load on the cpu. I have one core that gets to maybe 25%.

Strange behavior, I don't know what happened currently on your system.
The CPU usage should be less than 1% on average even with GTX 660 and AMD Athlon 64 2650e CPU (15W TDP 65nm CPU).
All heavy work is done on GPU in all versions of PtsGPUz.

I believe it is the risers. When I had 2 cards in the pci-e slots everything was fine. I was even running about 1,000 cpm.

I added 2 more cards and had to use risers and that is when it started. Maybe I have a bios setting to do something to the 1x pci-e slots but I have no idea where to look. Running a Giganyte 890GPA-UD3H.
