I'm not at all responsible or assocaited with this software, but wanted to provide a link ...

... and then ask ...



Has anyone used this software?



I've been trying to get cgminer to work on Linux with my two R9 290s, without perfect success, so was wonder whether a switch to sgminer might be worthwhile?

Probably needs a lot of tweaking to find the better "Sweet spot" above 414 hash. But I like keeping current on my software. Thank you very much for providing it.

I've got the same problems with sgminer, but at least I can let the developer know and maybe help him find a fix. I'm not worried about performance improvements over the cgminer code base as such - at least, not yet!

I am far from an expert in building linux software, but can you build cgminer? I was able to get that to build after some trial and error, but as I recall, sgminer didn't require anything additional.

Last edit: January 27, 2014, 12:03:12 AM by Gazza1 #18 Yeah I got cgminer up and running. I too am new to linux so I'm sure it's something very simple Impossible is a word found only in the dictionary of fools.

Thanks

Can someone sell me on this; cgminer already works great. Will I see a benefit by switching to sgminer? Does it do anything 'better'?Thanks

cgminer does work well for a lot of people, but if you're mining scrypt coins on your GPU then you're stuck with the 3.7.2 version (or earlier).



For me, I've had some issues with running both my R9 290's effectively under linux. So I'm hoping that sgminer may prove to be the way foward.



Since I originally started this topic thread, I've been looking at the source code in order to try and help resolve my problems. I currently believe that it's down to an AMD driver issue - but we'll have to see. Anyway, this has given me the opportunity to make my very own contributions to the project - so I'm hoping that they see the light of day in the near future! cgminer does work well for a lot of people, but if you're mining scrypt coins on your GPU then you're stuck with the 3.7.2 version (or earlier).For me, I've had some issues with running both my R9 290's effectively under linux.
