    Support both (existing) protocols (getwork and stratum)

    TODO:
    - implement the vote feature
    - reduce cpu usage on linux and mingw for nvidia cards (not sure of the reason yet)

    PS: This release is not a part of my current contract with Company 0, but the modified kernel included is. It improves OpenCL performance on nvidia cards by 10/15% without loss on AMD ones and can be used by the current cgminer release.

    We are working on an advanced protocol called "haste" using getblocktemplate (gbt) on the pools. But there is still a lot to do about that, including a new kind of miner.

    This release allow AMD users to mine on yiimp, zpool and suprnova (+clones) stratums.

    Would there be anyway to optimize the settings for r9 380x? So far cgminer only has Intensity and PowerTune for me. And also, does changing Vector/Thread helps in getting more shares?

    Hi i tried it with nvidia cards, a 970 & a 750ti but it failed to detect both of them and rather started mining with my CPU's embedded graphics. What do i need to do so that it detects my GPUs? Thanks.

    Are you able to turn your integrated GPU off in BIOS? That would probably be the best way.

    i am not sure but it should be possible. I dont want to reboot the PC as i am not yet using stakepool. Also it should at least show the GPUs in sgminer -n but its completely blind.

    Anyone tested it with an AMD card can tell if there is an improvement in hashrate?

    Hi,

    I am writing stratum server and it is almost completed however when I try to run it on testnet seems that the miner have problem with this. It does not send any shares and displays strange hexes:

    [13:27:36] Started sgminer 5.3.1
    [13:27:36] * using Jansson 2.7
    [13:27:36] Loaded configuration file sgminer-cm.conf
    [13:27:36] WARNING: GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS is not specified!
    [13:27:36] Probing for an alive pool
    [13:27:36] Startup GPU initialization... Using settings from pool DCR.

    [13:27:36] Initialising kernel decred.cl with nfactor 10, n 1024
    [13:29:14] 2837cb82fcc1f26f

    it is probably related to protocol version but I am not sure...

    Not sure the meaning but got this while solo mining with this version.

    "work has empty extradata!"

    Any insight?

    Can anyone see why the miner is not connecting to dcrd for solo mining I run and sync dcrd before I run the miner but the miner says something is wrong ?
    cheers

    Code:
    dcrd.exe --rpcuser b******************************************************j
    --rpcpass n**************************************************n
    --miningaddr D************************************z

    Try changing pool address from https to http

    Verify that you have entered in the credentials the same and start there I guess...

    EDIT: I'm not sure if sgminer has the same command line options as cgminer does, but when we launch cgminer for solo mining we use this command:
    Code:
     cgminer --blake256 -o https://127.0.0.1:9109 -u username -p password
    If sgminer supports the same CLI flags, try to use this to get it started, then write your config file through the program (also assuming sgminer as the same menu options).

    i'm starting sgminer with the sgminer.exe file at the present time so it auto reads the sgminer.conf file what I have posted above ,,,

    but yes I had completely forgotten the trick of manually loading the url and then making the .conf file

    thanks

    I've just loaded url/user and pass in manually and it just closes straight down ,,,

    I'll recheck credentials again
