Did you use the prebuilt binaries or build it yourself?
Does the command "scallion.exe -n -d 0 4444" run faster?

from scallion.

So I have been experiencing the same problem word for word as the original poster using my Radeon HD5830 using both Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and Ubuntu 12.10 64bit (mostly Ubuntu but windows to troubleshoot to no avail).

To find an 8 character prefix it tells me about 13 minutes at 670MH/s but it just runs indefinitely so far... Last night I tried to run the command "mono scallion.exe -d 0 .......abcdefghi" and it predicted 7:20:00 however when I came back it was running for 9:54:00 so I ended it as it seemed it would go on infinitely.

Outputs:

Here is the output of mono scallion.exe -l

from scallion.

I've been having trouble getting Scallion to compile the kernel on my
current dev machine. I'll spin up one of my old Bitcoin 5870s this evening
and give it another go there. It looks like, for some reason, weird hashes
are passing the tests on the GPU and getting back to the CPU to be
verified. I'll have more information, and maybe a debug build, later
tonight.

Thanks,
Eric

Unfortunately, I won't be able to work on this tonight. My second dev
machine is off-site and refused to power on with Wake On LAN, so I'll
have to troubleshoot that this weekend before I can test anything myself.

Sorry for the false hope, and I'll get back to you all after the weekend.

Thanks for looking into this with us. I will give it another go here mid week and see if I can't tweak something to get it working better. (totally novice when it comes to this stuff but its worth a go)

from scallion.

Thanks for scallion. Using the prebuild on Windows 7 64bit, I did eventually get a result, but saw symptoms similar to OP and David, but with a slight difference. Checking for an 8 char prefix, let's call it 'xxxxxxxx', scallion would cpu check matching 7 char prefixes.

At first I was seeing a newline for each iteration, with the odd CPU check interjected. for example:

scallion.exe -k 4096 -d 0 xxxxxxxx

At iteration 18286 it switched to updating the line in place (iteration, hashcount, speed, runtime), and only starting a new line for a CPU check:

Maybe I was just unlucky the first time. For a second run (without -n): Runtime:04:11:05 Predicted:03:46:47, so pretty close. Only newlined when CPU checking (so don't know what that was the first time). It's still CPU checking 7 char matches, but in some ways it's actually encouraging to see it making progress!

from scallion.

Hmm I still seem to be stuck > 24 hours for anything more than 6 characters, running at 600Mh/s or greater.

from scallion.

I just got access to a Ubuntu box with a Radeon HD 5450 (low end card). I was unable to replicate the issue. I am going to install windows and see if I can replicate. Anyway, this is just an update to let ya know the issue is being worked on.

I take it you both have the newest drivers?

from scallion.

I have this problem also, on windows 8 and linux with catalyst 13. Seems like the gpu is hashing incorrectly. I see the same issue with oclvanitygen.

from scallion.

I am having a similar issue. I've got a machine running a 4770k with onboard GPU as well as 2x7950's. Hashing seems to work great (albeit slower) on the onboard nvidia gpu but when hashing to the ATI's I am unable to get the ati's to produce results in line with expectations. Noticed 2 variables:

1. 4 or less characters seem to (eventually) produce results but takes significantly longer than the nvidia onboard and results in the above-mentioned not resulting in a prefix but rather "somewhere in there".
2. 5 or more I have not been able to get any results. Below is the GPU/driver/firmware specs

OnBoard:
HW: Intel HD Graphics 4600
Driver: 9.18.10.3186
FW: N/A
MH/s: 70.3 MH/s

PCI-e:
HW: Dual ATI Radeon HD 7950 (using x-fire)
Driver: 13.152.1.8000
BIOS: 015.021.000.000
MH/s: 1650-1900 (depending on if OC'ed or not)

Using pre-compiled Scallion-v1.0. I can post the scallion output if youd like.

Lachesis/Eric- If there's any value to having access to a box with higher-end hardware for testing purposes, I can give you access to a box with your choice of windows/debian some time in the next week. I would just need to find a box that i can drop the cards into for you to play with.

As a matter of curiosity, is there any method by which this hashing algorithm could be applied to a BFL asic? I've got a jalapeno that was delivered as part of a "thank you" from one of my customers and I have limited interest in running it as a BTC miner but would like to use it on other projects. It seems like offering a "service" that would hash .onion domains would be something nice for the community. That being said, I have no idea if the 2 alg's are similar at all so I may be totally off base with this.

Edit: tested with latest beta driver (13.250.18.0) and seems to have the same issue as before.

from scallion.

I've fixed it! At least on my configuration, which is a Radeon HD5770 on Ubuntu 13.10 using amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.run. I had to downgrade to the 2.7 SDK. Also, I kept having bugs with fglrx, but I got that squared away too.

I got the fix from samr7/vanitygen#19.

Steps:

1. Get fglrx installed correctly
   grab the latest beta driver from http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Linux%20x86_64
   $ unzip amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.zip
   $ chmod +x amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.run
   $ mount -o remount,exec /tmp # only needed if your /tmp is mounted noexec :)
   $ sudo ./amd-catalyst-13.11-beta6-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Ubuntu/saucy
   $ sudo dpkg -i fglrx*.deb
   $ sudo amdconfig --initial -f
   $ sudo nano /etc/default/grub

   add "nomodeset" to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT

$ sudo update-grub
$ sudo reboot

2. Download the AMD APP SDK 2.7
   http://developer.amd.com/tools-and-sdks/heterogeneous-computing/amd-accelerated-parallel-processing-app-sdk/downloads/download-archive/
   http://developer.amd.com/amd-license-agreement/?f=AMD-APP-SDK-v2.7-lnx64.tar
   $ tar xf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.7-lnx64.tar
   $ sudo ./Install-AMD-APP.sh

3. Make sure your environment variables are set right
   You might have to copy AMDAPPSDKROOT and LD_LIBRARY_PATH out of /etc/profile

4. Run scallion!

Please let me know if this fixes your problems.

from scallion.

I am using latests Amd drivers 13.35 beta with SDK 2.9 and I have this 'hash doesn't match problem' too.

I will give a try if the 2.7 solves the problem.

from scallion.

Since @AreYouLoco didn't follow up, It looks like 13.35 beta with SDK 2.7 is the winning combination, at least on Saucy. Thanks for the great tool!

from scallion.

Since @wywin is making wrong conclusions:D I tried with SKD 2.7 and the error remains. Even tried different versions of scallion. Latests git, version 0.9 and 1.2. Still same problem but version 0.9 is just making output with wrong addresses.

So the problem is not related to version. I think that it is driver related. I will check with some older driver version and put result.
Fyah!

P.S.
I am using Debian Wheezy (Crunchbang #!).

from scallion.

It is also happening with the built-in OS X OpenCL on Mavericks.

from scallion.

Im +1 with @alexandrvicente

from scallion.

I get it on Windows too with v2

from scallion.

@vlad259 Do you get it with version 1.2 ( https://github.com/lachesis/scallion/raw/binaries/scallion-v1.2.zip )? Trying to figure out if its a regression in v2?

from scallion.

Hi, yeah same deal with 1.2. Thanks for taking a look at it.

from scallion.

@vlad259 Unfortunately I think its a driver bug :( Read lachesis last comment above. Try downgrading or upgrading drivers. If you just need a short address you can do it on the CPU.

I am currently traveling and very far from my windows dev box (OpenCL does not work over remote desktop). If you find a working combination please post it here to help others.

Richard Klafter:

Try downgrading or upgrading drivers.
Updating doesn't work I tried last 2 official proprietary versions from
ATI. I remember that I used to generate a working key using one of
driver versions i should have somewhere archives with old drivers
versions on drive so I will try to downgrade my driver version to the
one that is still working with scallion.

Richard Klafter:

:D

Then maybe generating a diff file with the current driver will save a
lot of time looking for a change in the code that is causing the trouble.

Please give me some time to do that because I have a-lat-a other stuff
to do. And my system is not fully stable I need to fix other stuff. And
then I will let ya'all know what is the latest version that is working
without bug #11.

Cheers.
