xmr-stak-amd nicehash support

Open dewminer opened this issue 8 years ago • 19 comments

@ https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd/releases, the nicehash support for xmr-stak-amd is listed, but obviously it is not working because each share is rejected by nicehash pool. please add nicehash support to xmr-stak-amd also

Confirmed.

Hi, you are correct. Although my opinion is that is this cuts the available hashes very thin on 6 gpu machines.

i'm using the genesis mining sgminer fork patched for nicehash on my 6x RX570 rig https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer-gm/releases

the accepted hashrate from nicehash seems to be ok, the number of rejected shares is around 1%. i understand the possible issue running out of nonces described here: https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd/issues/66 but it never happened with the sgminer-gm on my rig running 24+ hours and doing 4600H/s

so, imho, the nicehash support has to be added. thanks

@dewminer I cant find any lising that nice hash is supported for the amd version.

@psychocrypt well, i'm just asking to add the functionality. if there is some possible/probable issue, the README.md can draw attention on it https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-amd/issues/66 https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak-nvidia/issues/24

If there is a problem with the stratum protocol in the future then NiceHash will fix it. It currently does work so the code from the CPU version should be used in the GPU version. I can't see any reasoning behind not implementing this; especially since you've already done the hard work in the CPU version.

Any news about Nicehash support in xmr-stak-amd?

Please add Nicehash support

will be in the next release. In around one week

@psychocrypt @fireice-uk I'm really looking forward to the new version XMR-STAK-AMD with the Nicehash support. Is there any understanding when it will be released?

petunder avatar Nov 11 '17 16:11 petunder

We moved the release to the next weekend.

psychocrypt avatar Nov 11 '17 16:11 psychocrypt

A bit off topic... Is the plan to discontinue xmr-stak-{amd, cpu, nvidia} in favor of xmr-stak? If so, is there a guess as to when that may happen?

candrews avatar Nov 11 '17 16:11 candrews

@psychocrypt this weekend or the next weeked? Nov x? Thank you in advance! :)

zmate1000 avatar Nov 16 '17 08:11 zmate1000

Planed this WE but if we think at any point the miner is not stable enough than we move it one week.

psychocrypt avatar Nov 16 '17 09:11 psychocrypt

Thank you we are waiting the SW.

zmate1000 avatar Nov 16 '17 09:11 zmate1000

@psychocrypt still waiting. Could you send binaries personally? As beta test?

cast-xmr-vega working with nicehash getting 1900 - 1950 H/s with VEGA 64 . Although 1.5 % goes to developer , better than sgminer's 1850 H/s.

Tried xmr-stak-amd. Same hash rate as cast-xmr-vega, so it would be nice if nicehash support xmr-stak-amd.

alternatively, you can use this fork compatible with nicehash: https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-amd

dewminer avatar Nov 19 '17 19:11 dewminer

Please try our latest release https://github.com/fireice-uk/xmr-stak we added dull nicehash support there.
