Example Usage

Setup the enviroment variables

AMD usually works better when the following enviroment variables are set:

GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

You will need to set these enviroment varaible on each boot of the computer.

To set these on Windows type this in any command prompt:

set GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
set GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
set GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

To set these on Linux type this in any terminal:

export GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR=1
export GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE=100
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
export GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT=100

XCASH_AMD_Miner configuration

This is an example for a 3 VEGA mining computer In this example, we are:

Using the opencl platform 0 (try 1 and 2 if 0 gives an opencl error) --opencl-platform=0
Setting our devices we want to use (we specifiy the device twice for VEGA to use two threads per card) --opencl-devices=0,0,1,1,2,2
Setting the intensity to 1952 and the worksize to 16 per thread --opencl-launch=1952x16,1952x16,1952x16,1952x16,1952x16,1952x16
Setting the strided_index to 2 per thread --opencl-strided-index=2,2,2,2,2,2
Setting the mem_chunk to 2 per thread --opencl-mem-chunk=2,2,2,2,2,2
Setting the comp_mode to true per thread --opencl-comp-mode=true,true,true,true,true,true
Using keepalive for TCP packets to prevent a timeout --keepalive
Connecting to the official X-CASH mining pool --url minexcash.com:3333
Mining using "YOUR_XCASH_XCA_OR_XCB_ADDRESS" (replace YOUR_XCASH_XCA_OR_XCB_ADDRESS with your address) --user YOUR_XCASH_XCA_OR_XCB_ADDRESS
Using a password of YOUR_MINING_COMPUTER_NAME (replace YOUR_MINING_COMPUTER_NAME with any name for your mining computer) --pass YOUR_MINING_COMPUTER_NAME

./XCASH_AMD_Miner --opencl-platform=0 --opencl-devices=0,0,1,1,2,2 --opencl-launch=1952x16,1952x16,1952x16,1952x16,1952x16,1952x16 --opencl-strided-index=2,2,2,2,2,2 --opencl-mem-chunk=2,2,2,2,2,2 --opencl-comp-mode=true,true,true,true,true,true --keepalive --url minexcash.com:3333 --user YOUR_XCASH_XCA_OR_XCB_ADDRESS --pass YOUR_MINING_COMPUTER_NAME

Build Instructions

Linux (Ubuntu)

Install dependencies
sudo apt install git build-essential cmake libuv1-dev libmicrohttpd-dev libssl-dev
Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/X-CASH-official/XCASH_AMD_Miner.git
Create a build folder and build the program
cd XCASH_AMD_Miner && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. && make

Windows

Install dependencies Make sure you install Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/

Download prebuilt dependencies from XMRig and then unzip them anywhere https://github.com/xmrig/xmrig-deps/releases Note: If you just installed Visual Studio 2017 you can use 3.3, If you already had it installed try 3.1 instead

Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/X-CASH-official/XCASH_AMD_Miner.git
Create a build folder and build the program
Replace PREBUILT_DEPENDENCIES_DIRECTORY with the directory location of the prebuilt dependencies
cd XCASH_AMD_Miner && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DXMRIG_DEPS=PREBUILT_DEPENDENCIES_DIRECTORY && cmake --build . --config Release

If you get errors about redefintion of structs you might need to build without HTTPD and TLS (meaning the API and TSL will not work)
cd XCASH_AMD_Miner && mkdir build && cd build && cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 15 2017 Win64" -DXMRIG_DEPS=PREBUILT_DEPENDENCIES_DIRECTORY -DWITH_HTTPD=OFF -DWITH_TLS=OFF && cmake --build . --config Release
