Using "nscrypt" to mine DarkCoin ends with "rejected" by (low difficulty share)"

gotqn commented 10 years ago

I guess I am doing something wrong since I have downloaded the master and it is known to support nscrypt.

Using the following settings I am getting "rejected" by (low difficulty share)":

{
"pools" :
[
        {
                "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum-eu.suchpool.pw:3335",
                "user" : "test.test1",
                "pass" : "test123"
        }
],
"intensity" : "13",
"gpu-engine" : "1100",
"gpu-fan" : "85",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"temp-cutoff" : "90",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",
"thread-concurrency" : "8193",
"worksize" : "256",
"auto-fan" : true,
"auto-gpu" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"failover-only" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"log" : "5",
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"algorithm" : "nscrypt"
}

I was getting only 300 KH/S. Then, with the same settings but using the https://github.com/prettyhatemachine/sph-sgminer master I am getting about 4.3 MH/s.

I am using Ubuntu 12.04.02 with AMD Catalyst 13.12 and R9 280X GPUs (two of them).

What I am doing wrong?

Darkcoin is not an adaptive N factor CC, it uses an "X11" algorithm that is not supported.

Could you tell if the sgminer dev team is planning to support it?

sgminer is for Scrypt algos only, at least for now. So no.
