Miner Control 1.5.5 Pack for AMD Radeon R9 280x

5, Dec 2014

miner-control-tool-radeon-r9-280x

Just like we have recently prepared a Miner Control 1.5.5 Pack for Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti that can be used for other Nvidia-based GPUs as well it is also time to update the NiceHash Control Tool version for Radeon R9 280x to the new Miner Control. Do note that you can use this package with other AMD-based Radeon cards, however to ensure proper calculation of the actual profit and to use the most profitable algorithms for your miner you will have to edit the configuration settings for the supported algorithms.

So here it is, a Miner Control package with the latest sgminer 5.0.1 development version along with the OpenCL libraries from the AMD drivers 14.6 to ensure proper support for NeoScrypt if you are using newer drivers. The package is configured for a single Radeon R9 280X GPU with the settings for each algorithm based on a reference non-overclocked card and is configured to work NiceHash, TradeMyBit, Yaamp and Wafflepool, supporting only the more profitable X11, X13, X15, NIST5 and NeoScrypt algorithms.

To be ready to use the Radeon R9 280X package you just need to update the account settings for each pool to reflect your BTC payment address and only for TradeMyBit you would need to set your account worker id and your API key for the current prices (inside the configuration file). Do note that the default configuration that we have set is mining from time to time for the author of the software (Miner Control) as a donation alternative, but you can change that setting should you wish to.

New ccMiner 1.5 Fork by tpruvot With Websocket API Example Available

4, Dec 2014

ccminer-websocket-sample

The API functionality that was recently introduced to the ccMiner fork by tpruvot (source) is now accessible through a websocket directly from the web browser. This means that you just need to open a HTML file on your computer to be able to monitor stats from the ccMiner that is running with the API enabled, no need to have a web server running on the same computer in order to be able to browse statistical information via the API. The sample websocket code included in the latest code from tpruvot just shows a graphical representation of the hashrate, but it can be extended to include other statistics as well from the available data provided by the API. We have compiled a windows binary from the latest code supporting Compute 3.0 to Compute 5.2 GPUs and you can download and try it from the link below. The included sample websocket.htm file is for showing you the basic hashrate stats, you need to run the ccMiner with the API enabled for the stats to work.

New Fixed Windows Binary of the ccMiner 1.5-git Fork by SP for Maxwell

30, Nov 2014

ccminer-1-5-git-spmod-new-fixed

Yesterday we have published a windows binary compiled from the latest code of the ccMiner 1.5-git SP-MOD fork of the Nvidia miner optimized for Maxwell GPUs by SP (source). However it had some issues present, like problem with the launch configurations for X15 on GTX 970/980 GPUs, but these were quickly addressed and are now fixed,s o we have updated our windows binary release. Since we also used the same fork of ccMiner in our Miner Control 1.5.5 Pack for Nvidia GeForce GTX 750 Ti also released yesterday, we have also included the new fixed windows binary in that package. So if you have downloaded it today you should re-download it again as the latest source code includes some other fixes and improvements as well. In terms of performance improvements, you will probably not see such as compared to yesterday’s windows binary, but if you are using an older release you should notice significant performance increase.
