Compatibility with the DAG size reduction fork #2

Open Nik343 opened 1 year ago

Nik343 commented 1 year ago

In the time since this miner was last worked on, there has been a DAG size reduction, and it appears that the miner is no longer working as expected. I am offering a 4000 VEIL bounty to anyone who can update the code and restore the miner's functionality on the mainnet. @seanPhill pointed me to a useful repository of veilminer that contains the full Git history of changes made from the original ethminer to make it work with Veil. Happy hunting.

Steps to Reproduce:

  1. Follow "Building via Visual Studios Command Line" instructions in the repository
  2. Start the mining process using veil-node-stratum-proxy
  3. Observe the absence of rewards

Expected Behavior:

The miner should be able to successfully mine the Veil cryptocurrency

Actual Behavior:

No rewards are being credited to the basecoin address, even after a significant amount of time

Environment:

Miner version: veilminer 1.1.3+commit.27a29c80.dirty (built with OpenCL support only) Operating system: Windows 10 LTSC 2021 Hardware: AMD Instinct MI50 (Running with AMD Radeon PRO VII drivers)
