dga, will you further improve it?

[dga]

dga, where do I have to look in code to modify it so it can run on 512 MB cards?

You'd have to substantially change it - its basic step is that it computes all of the hashes (which require 512MB) and then does some work on them.  This isn't a tuning parameter, it's fundamental to the current design.

can you mine protoshares with AMD GPU?

I'd be curious on how's it work here

hi. How to use cudapts to connect to ypool.net?

EDIT: That may not work: does ypool use a different work-sharing protocol?

I detail a hack here:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2338.msg28809#msg28809

--but I suggest using beeeeer.org, as (last I heard) ypool had vastly more than 51% of all hashing power going for this coin.

I have a dual GTX690 rig that's currently doing about 3600 c/m.  I like it.

Dear dga,

There are 2 GPU on 1 card GTX690 and it' s mean that 1 card GTX690 get 3600 c/m ? Or you use 2 card GTX690 to get 3600 c/m?

Two cards.  One GTX690 gets 900 cpm on each of its chips, for a total of about 1800cpm per card.

Maybe this post from iruu could point you in the right direction? . . .

Also, I have no idea whether it may help, but you're free to look at the Visual Studio project source files I posted in this archive:

https://www.dropbox.com/s/q9u4r8sy0zsgf7j/cudaPTSwin.7z

This got all of the files to compile, it's just that the miner doesn't seem to properly communicate with a mining pool. With a traffic monitor, you can see traffic sending out from it, but it seems that no traffic is sent back from the pool; it also eventually throws an error which I looked up and which has to do with not connecting to a network.

A hosts file hack which has been used for other miners also works for this (or, it might, if this miner worked ), which allows you to redirect a miner hard-coded to one pool to mine at another (of the same coin and protocol). It's hard-coded right now to beeeeer.org, but by using this hack:

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=1921.msg22358#msg22358

You can get it to try connecting to e.g. mmcpool.1gh.com. Er, if that pool uses the same port :/

... I suggest we take Daves gpuhash kernel code which is relatively self contained and easy to get to compile under visual studio and then merge it in with the source for https://github.com/jh000/jhProtominer here. I have gotten the kernel to compile no problem. If anyone who is more familiar with the protoshares algorithm is willing to point me in the right direction of what function call I need to replace with a call to daves kernel I will happily give it a shot and put up a github link with the code...

Maybe this post from iruu could point you in the right direction?

https://bitsharestalk.org/index.php?topic=2225.msg26559#msg26559

If you'd like to PM me with a link to your source archive, I could poke around in it . . . my intent is to create something that we'd release open-source (if we get it working).
