Add scrypt-jane for alternate scrypt coins about sgminer HOT 12 CLOSED

Direct link to patches.

I'm not exactly sure this fits into the definition of "scrypt-only, gpu-only".

from sgminer.

Well, it is GPU mined... and scrypt as well, AFAIK, just with different parameters.

@wolf9466 Yes, looked into the general description, it could make sense.

@tonobitc pulled in rmdavidson's patch in tonobitc/sgminer branch scrypt-jane, pulled that into veox/sgminer branch scrypt-jane.

Was wondering if this actually works or is there still work to do? I can compile it fine but when using it with a pool, it shows the wrong diff and can't accept any shares.

from sgminer.

That is indeed the current situation. I haven't had the time to test/review. Do fix it if you feel like it.

from sgminer.

Cool, thanks for the update, I just didn't know if I compiled it wrong or something.

from sgminer.

I have tried to compile this version of sgminer.
Seems to work to some degree. The problem is that it doesn't properly communicate with the Pool. The GPUs start the work, but instead of getting accepted shares, they get HW errors.

I think it's an easy fix to this, but since I have little knowledge of how sgminer/cgminer works, I can't do this on my own.

One step closer to getting scrypt-jane implemented in the main branch.
If we get that and keccak support, sgminer will absolutely rock!

from sgminer.

I have tested the current branch scrypt-jane.
It works very well.

I think it's safe to try and implement it into the main branch.

@gdevenyi @veox has this issue been duplicated at a later time through issue #283 ?

If so, is it moot and closable as duplicitous in nature?

from sgminer.

Somewhat. Here the initial issue was to adapt the code from a different miner version to sgminer.
The code has been adapted for sgminer so this issue has been closed.
issue #283 is about integrating the working sgminer version of scrypt-jane into the main branch.
