BitShares PTS / Re: fast AMD OpenCL PTS miner released

Good
With the latest version? No. I get more with 3x 280X. People in this thread have reported speeds of close to 4000 CPM for each card.
Read the last 10 pages and try the various settings and configurations they've posted. Also, in your commandline there is a . instead of , between 0 and 0. By the looks of it, most 290 users get better performance with -a 0 or -a 2.
Try this instead: -t 0,0,1,1,2,2 (try with AND without -a 1, -a 2 and -a 3)

Think I found the sweet-spot for my cards. The R9 280X ASUS DC2T's are amazing! These results are from 24-48 hours of mining.
W7 64
4GB RAM
3x 280X ASUS DC2T @ 1160/1600 and 1x 280X Gigabyte Windforce 3X @ 1100/1500 with the flags -t 0,0,1,1,2,2,3,3 -a 2. Total = 14374 CPM. (Avg is ~3593 CPM.)
Temps are ranging from 62C to 72C at 60% fan-speed with ambient at 25C-30C depending on the time of day. If running 4 instances, one for each card, each card would hit 3300-3400 CPM (why?).
My single 280X Sapphire Dual-X @ 1100/1500 hits 3362 CPM. It has low ASIC rating and fans that apparently are prone to fail; I'm just gonna leave this as is.

Whoa! Didn't discover the recent release until yesterday. Thanks for this massive boost in performance! This is amazing stuff.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I'm using W7 x64, 4 GB RAM, Catalyst 14.1 beta (same performance as 13.12).
5 280X cards in total: (3x R9 280X ASUS DC2T, 1x R9 Gigabyte Windforce 3X and 1x Sapphire Dual-X OC). Total CPM jumped from 10900 CPM to 17100 CPM (~3400 CPM each) with 2 threads but without any extra flags. Each card is running 1100/1500 @ stock voltage right now. Will try with -a 1 and so on.
I did run into an issue that others might need the solution for. On rig #1 (W7 x64 / 4GB RAM), when running 2 threads on all 4 cards the miner would either shutdown, crash or freeze my PC. It would run 3 cards with 2 threads each, but once the 4th card attempted to use 2 threads an error message including some message about memory would pop up.
I eventually realized that the problem was my page file. The initial size was set to 6141MB and the max 8192MB. I doubled both of these values and was able to run all 4 cards with 2 threads each and no issues!
Sent a small amount of PTS for your continued invested time in this project of yours. Will continue doing so as the PTS keeps rolling in.

So I decided to put 4 GPUs in the same rig instead of separating them (was using cases). Mashed together an open rig with some spare wood and started mining. I wanted to squeeze out a few more CPM so I decided to overclock all of the cards. Undervolting them was to follow after that.
Here is an album showing the progress: http://imgur.com/a/eoOoi
Final result after approx. 1 hour 30 min is 8494 CPM where 3/4 cards got successfully overclocked and undervoltaged. Temps are staying awesome at 62-68C.
On my gaming rig I have 1 Sapphire Dual-X OC 280X. At 1065/1500 and stock voltage it hits 2029 CPM stable. 72C in a case is absolutely nothing to complain about! Going to try and overclock it some more later on.

« on: February 05, 2014, 12:52:26 am »yeah, possible back-up-pool would be a great thing for the future!Exactly. I think we should spread the word about GPU mining at beer (and 1gh). Especially to current scrypt miners, as mining PTS is actually more profitable than certain coins. And this is not considering the value of owning ProtoShares for the upcoming stuff!
one position to realize is the point, that the share-/hashrate of beeeeer-pool nearly doubled from the day your miner is at the front - i know it could be more to secure the network - but we have to start and see where it goes!
Thus I've pointed a few rigs at PTS and the rest at DGB (DigiByte).

BitShares PTS / Re: [ANN] ptsweb.beeeeer.org - Protoshares mining sub-pool
« on: February 04, 2014, 10:00:19 pm »yupIt sure is. Unless you have access to free cores/electricity or you own a very powerful CPU, then mining PTS won't earn you many PTS at all.
pts is dominated by gpu
The good thing about the fastest GPU miner is that it points to beer. Getting over 8000 CPM with 4x 280X.
Oh, and thanks for still hanging in there and providing this pool for us with big brother being...SO much bigger. We're still chugging away and finding blocks, and more PTS can be earned at beer mainly because of generously low fees compared to other pools. Thanks!
Yeah, spot on. Obviously it may also affect the value of PTS. Hopefully in a positive way.this would be true, when the overall power of the network wouldn't increase, but just the pool...in theory, more cpm for the entire pool, means more blocks will be found, however they will each be a lower payout as its now spread out among more cpm... but averaging out, more blocks despite being lower pay, would ultimately equate the same level of pay as before... in theory...
but
that's not the case. with the new implementations for GPUs the overall network power has increased.
thus the difficulty was increasing to let the network stay at the desired block rate (there are not more blocks found!!)
thus the number of shares needed to find a block has increased too
thus you proportion of the overall network, which is the most important indicator for your payout, is decreasing (if you're still using the same miner/hardware)
i hope that was helpful.

Thanks for this! I tested it overnight on 4x 280X (3x ASUS DC2T and 1x Gigabyte Windforce 3X).
Total CPM: 8195 with 0.62% rejects...beautiful!
The temps are good, ranging from 68-72c on 40% fan speed in a hot room. 75% fan speed on the Gigabyte card because it has horrible cooling.
Stock clocks on all cards with the DC2T's @ 1118mV and Windforce 3X @ 1200mV because it's a bitch. Could probably squeeze out a few more CPM so I will experiment with different clock speeds when I have the time for it.
I too would like to see optimized kernels for other cards in the future, so maybe if enough people makes donations to the dev he will be able to get whatever GPU he should need for testing. What he earns from dev fee on the miner is nothing.
I really like the idea of increasing the fee on the ypool version of your miner, to encourage the use of smaller pools like beer. I honestly think increasing the fee even more would be a good idea and a good thing for the PTS network.
If the 2 versions of your miner were beer and 1gh, then that would be great! We need to spread the hash rate around.
Another suggestion is to be able to setup a backup pool, so the miner for example would switch to 1gh should beer go down.

« on: December 25, 2013, 01:46:39 pm »PayPal is not a good ideaAs long as the funds are being sent from his PayPal balance, no credit card is used AND the funds are sent as a gift; it's safe to receive funds via PayPal.
No chargebacks can be made by using the above method. Also, don't mention virtual goods or cryptocurrency.

(Besides more exchanges picking it up.)Well I was working on a pool but thats been done so not worth my time anymore. Now working on an SPV wallet which will put us a step ahead of every other alt-coin.
All donations would be appreciated of course;)
Keep working on the pool if you can. We need more of them as FreeTrade says.
Not a bad idea about the SPV wallet. Good luck!

More pools are important. I'm hoping this will be the first mass-mining coin . . . there's going to be pool mining from the GUI. We'll need a well defined interface between miners and pools.
I see. Yes, that would be nice to see.
Great, a decent feature. I hope it's possible to make the miner able to compete with standalone ones - performance-wise.
