      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,

              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.

                          Use my SGMiner 5 compile for neoscrypt.

                              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.

                                  I used this link: https://github.com/sgminer-dev/sgminer

                                  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

                                        Odd - I have none of the issues you described.

                                          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.

                                            I’m using SGMiner 5 on yaamp.com right this minute. I’ll check the debug output, though.

                                            Nope - I see gen_stratum_work() and all other kinds of stratum stuff.
