    I'm using, with mixed results. It takes a fair bit of tuning, starting with the default intensity being way too low (it should be closer to 25).

    On my Windows machine a GTX 980 with ccminer went from 1.9 Ghash/s to 2.0 Ghash/s. But on a linux box wit the same GPU, I couldn't match the hash rate of ccminer. ::shrug:: On yet another Linux machine with AMD R9 GPUs, it was just a hair faster than cgminer after much tuning.

    However, it's less buggy than cgminer 3.7.2. I can actually hit q to quit without a crash on one machine with this trouble. ADL seems to work much better.

    Oh, and maybe I just missed an option, but I had to run a dcrd instance with --notls to connect sgminer.

    I am having problems with the most basic run of commands already.
    And when using ./sgminer -n this is output:
    Code:

    I installed OpenCL then the compile worked.
    But now I have no clue how to adjust my GPU commands in the miner command.
    It doesnt even start with most basi, looks like this now:
    Code:
    ./runmine.sh

    Even easier. In the folder sgminer/kernel are all available kernel files. When it says decred.cl it will be most probably used in command with "decred" also only to get
    Code:
    ./sgminer -k decred -o stratum+tcp://dcr.suprnova.cc:2252 -u legalmatFireCreds.testingGPU -p and345 --gpu-memclock 850 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 18
    I thought and it works. Now I can check if it gives activity on suprnova.
    Thanks for pointing this one out.
    I had it in front py my nose, but I thought, it would give an explicite error if the algo is wrong. Thought it would try to start anyhow.
    But it seems to only was this problem.

    Thanks a lot...
    But there are easy n00b proof documentations lacking on mining decred. I never had more problems to find my way. ;-)

    =Ok, my next step would be then to get it to run on nvidia. When driver setup works it should be pretty mcuh the same steps, correct?

    The hasrate with a Radeon 7770 on linux with the settings above is around 415.18 MH/s BTW
    The GPU is utilized at a 86%. Maybe there are suggestions on improving?
    Code to check the usage is:
    Code:
    aticonfig --odgc --odgt
    
    Default Adapter - AMD Radeon R7 200 Series                           
                                Core (MHz)    Memory (MHz)
               Current Clocks :    1150           1250
                 Current Peak :    1150           850
      Configurable Peak Range : [300-1650]     [150-1750]
                     GPU load :    85%
    
    Default Adapter - AMD Radeon R7 200 Series
