      You are on linux though right?

      Yes, but I also use a config file, which could be it, too.

        I am using config file, plus I have also tried passing -w 48,32 and --worksize 48,32 to command line and it still only generates bins with w48. Take a look at this screenshot:

        The 7870 Pitcairn is what is taking a hit with sgminer5. It’s not a huge hit though, only about 5 Kh/s with w48 instead of w32, but using same config on cgminer 3.7.8 Neoscrypt it generates the bins with w48 and w32 respectively.

          Odd - works for me, so maybe it is a Windows issue.

            Yeah. Maybe I should just bite the bullet and install a Linux distro on my miner.

              Ugh, I hate the AMD OpenCL compiler - not only does it sometimes mangle code, but it is STUPID. This thing should not have graduated from compiler kidnergarten. It’s also full of bugs - I just figured out it’s flat-out ignoring some of my loop unrolling instructions. I wrote a far better chacha round function and my hash on 280X dropped from 270kh/s to under 200kh/s. Now I need to make it into a macro so I can unroll it manually.

                Hey Wolf0,

                I really like what you are doing.

                Sent you 50FTC as small tip.

                ;)

                    try lowering core clock to 1100 and run w 48 i 15 g2 on 280x/7970 getting between 130 and 150 per card

                    sgminer stable overnigt and still going

                    clocks same as i used with cgminer

                    -I 15 not working, some kernel error( too low memory), im using -I 14 w 48 g2 135khs

                      With SGMiner, you may now set thread concurrency.

                          Finally got it compiled and could test a bit :)

                          Two things I noticed:

                          • on a 64Bit compile the A:xxx Value in the first line of the Display reads: A:22323232343463467722132415…

                          this looks like a 23bit overflow and happened on the first versions of cgminer-neoscryp, too

                          • Stratum doesn’t work for me, longoll works fine

                          errormessage: ‘message received: unknown method’

                          I run against a p2pool, that is working fine for cgminer.

                          • hashrate slightly increased on my HD 8400 GPU ( I know, I know, it’s just a laptop GPU.

                                It’s actually SG5 - the dev branch is misnamed.

                                  Wolf0’s compile is a development snapshot of sgminer5. Every development snapshot of sgminer I have used has had the version as 4.2.2 even though it’s really version 5.

                                    Do you have forked it?

                                      No, that’s the link - use the develop branch.

                                        That’s exactly what I did:

                                        git clone --recursive -b develop git(at)github.com:sgminer-dev/sgminer.git

                                        autogen.sh

                                        configure

                                        make all / make install

                                            can you try to mine on pool http://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 ?

                                            User= your wallet address or any other name

                                            Pass= any

                                            If you start the miner in text mode with -D and -P you will see, that the miner switches to long-poll, but does not use stratum.

                                            If you force stratum with stratum+tcp://p2pool.neoscrypt.de:19327 and -fix-protocol you’ll see (or at least I see) a message ’ no pool to get work from’

                                            The only difference I see for the rest of the problems is, that I have a NVidia 750ti, no AMD based card.
