🔍 INTEGRATION ANALYSIS: RinHash & Stratum Client

Current Status Analysis ⚠️ PARTIAL INTEGRATION

✅ What's Working:

  • GPU Mining Core: ROCm/HIP implementation functional
  • GPU Library: librinhash_hip.so loads and executes
  • Basic Mining Loop: GPU miner runs mining algorithm

⚠️ What's Missing for Full Integration:

  1. Stratum Protocol Support: ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED

    • GPU miner is standalone (no pool connection)
    • No stratum client integration
    • Cannot connect to mining pools

  2. Real RinHash Algorithm: ❌ PLACEHOLDER ONLY

    // Current cpuminer implementation (PLACEHOLDER):
void rinhash_hash(void *output, const void *input) {
    memcpy(output, input, 32);  // Just copies input to output!
}

  3. CPU-GPU Integration: ❌ NOT IMPLEMENTED

    • cpuminer build fails (missing dependencies)
    • No GPU acceleration in cpuminer
    • RinHash algorithm not properly integrated

Required Changes for Full Integration:

1. Implement Real RinHash Algorithm

// Replace placeholder in cpuminer/cpuminer-opt-rin/algo/rinhash/rinhash.c
void rinhash_hash(void *output, const void *input) {
    // TODO: Implement actual RinHash algorithm
    // Should match GPU implementation in gpu/RinHash-hip/rinhash.hip.cu
}

2. Add Stratum Support to GPU Miner

  • Implement stratum protocol client
  • Add pool connection capabilities
  • Support mining pool authentication

3. Integrate GPU Acceleration in cpuminer

  • Link against librinhash_hip.so
  • Add GPU mining threads alongside CPU threads
  • Implement GPU work distribution

⚠️ UNVERIFIED TESTING METHODS

Performance Optimization

CPU Optimization

# Use all available cores
./cpuminer -a rinhash -t $(nproc) -o POOL_URL -u WALLET -p PASSWORD

GPU Optimization

  1. Ensure proper cooling
  2. Monitor GPU usage: rocm-smi
  3. Adjust batch sizes in GPU code if needed
