Released ! MadMiner - An ethereum dual miner for AMD GPUs
Hi to all.
I'm Giovanni from Italy.
I'm proud to present MadMiner, a dual miner for ethash/dcr.
Very simple to use graphical interface.
Optimized for R9 390 cards, very fast hash rate (30.7 MH/s stock bios).
Works also for other models!
Actually there are no dev fee, so if someone want to use/test it and post his results it is welcomed.
The application is so easy to use that there is no need a manual ... anyway a user manual is under construction and will be uploaded soon.
The download link of the miner is :
https://mega.nz/#!opAwVTJQ!Ms6_pepmgLzLC6bduc68Gh29V75sjNDHQcTXqsgqJ_4
ZIP PASSWORD: MadMiner
Operating System : Windows x64
AMD Drivers : >17 or newer
Required installation of Visual Studio Redistributables (included in zip file)
An image of the graphical interface:

and when you stop mining , you cant never again have button "mine!" active
I am writing a user manual, but I interactively update this page to try explain how the software works.
This image shows the empty config menu that appear the first time you use the miner.
(In yellow the detected GPUs : you can enable/disable it by clicking on it)
After you have configured almost one eth pool you can start mining pressing 'OK and Close' buttton . This button close the window and save the parameters as the default config (a file named DefaultConfig.mad will be automatically generated in the main folder).
If you press 'Cancel' or close the window using the upper right 'x' button in the windows no one config will be saved as default and the mining button will not be enabled and cannot start (because there are no default config yet, so null parameters).
If you want to use a saved config use 'Load Config' button to load the config and then 'OK and Close' to setup this as default config.
If you load the 'MineToMyAccount' config for testing purposes, you have also to press the 'FIND GPUs' button because this information depend on your hardware and the gpus info are missing in the test file.
But first of all can you check in the main folder the presence of the file 'DefaultConfig.mad', generated/updated when you press 'OK and close' button ?
If is missed probably the executable or the folder haven't write access permisson and so the app can save/update the config.
Thanks again and let me know if this info was helpful.
Installation and use manual done MadMiner_MANUAL.pdf:
The miner itself can handle up to sixteen GPU, but none has tested this feature, neither is supported by the graphical frontend. It can handle max 10 GPU.
I suggest to run 2 instance of the miner in two distinct folders and divide the GPUs on each one selecting it from the config window.

Can't figure out where i need to put my ethereum wallet
Read the instruction in your pool and search how to configure 'Genoil' or 'Ethminer fork'.
Now the old UserId/password edit boxes in the configuration panel are substituted by a single edit box (labeled -O) in which you have to put the params.
For example if you are using nanopool the command line help for Genoil is:
ethminer.exe --farm-recheck 200 -G -S eth-eu1.nanopool.org:9999 -O YOUR_ADDRESS.YOUR_WORKER/YOUR_EMAIL
So in the miner you have to write:
This is the link of the fixed version of the miner.
MadMiner_1.0b.zip
Zip password : 'MadMiner'
Let me know.Thanks for your patience.
MadMiner.exe in Lazarus, miner and stratum in c++.
At the moment I can't give you feedback, I'm in office and the internet connection is monitored.
I have modified the miner and upate the config picture in the previous post, but the comment is awaiting approval by admin.
This is a picture mostrating a template of config to an ethereum pool (nanopool):
From the mining manual:
The miner uses ethash stratum protocol , compatibile with the major pools.
Use the help page of your favourite ethash pool to find the appropriate config values.
Search config values for Genoil or Ethminer fork.
If you want use also a DCR pool please configure it, preferably
using the ccminer config parameters.
If someone want to download and use the miner:
MadMiner1.0b.zip PASSWORD OF ZIP FILE : MadMiner
==================================================
This project uses some of the ETH C++ libraries
from a old branch of the glorious Genoil's ethminer
This version of the miner is free to use.
At the moment there isn't any developer fee.

Let me know and i'll continue testing. Once I can get a feel for it on one of my gaming machines, i'll try it on a rig machine with 8 cards and compare to Claymore.
At the moment I have neither resources and time to support it.
Anyway thanks for all, maybe in the future NVIDIA cards will be included.
Tested a few minutes until a share was found. Seems works good.
In the weekeend I can work to the miner, will be released a version that improve the startup/initialization time of the miner.
i did all of that . no way to use "mine!" again, and "ok & close" dont launch
edit: when i remove stratum+tcp ... it seem to active |Mine!| button but then same result as jukebox ...

I update yesterdy the miner, the config mask was bugged(see previous post) :
MadMiner1.0b.zip PASSWORD OF ZIP FILE : MadMiner
At the moment I can't give you other feedback, can you post please the pool you use?
Hope that helps.
Thanks
And about the hashrate ? Compared to Claymore?
After about 40 mins the miner founds 2 share, accepted.
I noticed the pool mining params are setting to a very high difficulty.
If you want to continue the test using only 1 card I suggest to switch mining to miningpoolhub. Very ugly interface but very stable and very lower difficulty (many shared submitted).
It has also very interesting features, like 'autoexcange' wallet so if you haven't a yet the mininmal eth payout you can convert the balance from ETH to another coin, where the commission fees and payouts are lower. I use thes feature to send little sums to poloniex.
