Title: [SOLVED] (LTC) Need Help With Reaper
Post by: c4n10 on September 19, 2012, 04:42:32 PM
I am trying to use Reaper and I am having an unusual problem.

Everything seems to work fine as Reaper is able to find and start my gpu device, it is connecting to the servers I wish it to connect to but once it is connected my hashrate continues to climb (the highest I've seen it go was roughly 50 GH/s) and though it says it is hashing and showing me a hashrate, it does NOT find any shares when I connect it to a pool nor does it find any blocks when I solo mine...

Anyone have any idea as to what could be causing this?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated...

reaper is mostly for litecoin, do people still use it for bitcoin mining?

In my experience, I can't get the newer versions of Reaper to work for anything. Even for LTC mining, I use an old 'pre release' or something.

When you use it, does it "appear" to work like mine does, where it indicates that it is hashing, but it never finds anything?

I dunno, I've tried it for both, it seems to mine BTC just fine but it does not mine LTC at all for me and LTC is what I am wishing to mine. It just says that it is hashing and never completes any shares...

If I remember correctly, LTC is another port.

Reaper.conf should look something like this:

Code:
kernel reaper.cl
save_binaries yes
enable_graceful_shutdown no
long_polling yes
bfi_int yes

mine litecoin


Litecoin.conf should have a note 'mine litecoin'

Aside from that, I'm not really sure how to help. Maybe you should try an older version of Reaper (see my other post).

to get help from litecoin miners maybe move this thread to the alternate cryptocurrencies board where it might be noticed then: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=67.0

(to move the thread, the link is in the bottom left -- for the forum user that created the thread.)

Yup, I have all of that configured correctly with the exception that I don't have the "bfi_int yes" part...

What does your litecoin.conf look like? I'll try using it. Maybe Reaper compiled wrong or something.

I just used your conf files (With my creds) and it worked fine. Try deleting your kernels and/or redownloading Reaper. Also, make sure to rule out the possibility your pool info is correct and that the pool is actively collecting shares.

Got it figured out, D34TH from the #litecoin-dev irc channel was able to help me figure it out. Turns out my aggression and worksize settings were too high.

That's odd, but I'm glad you got it working! Sorry I wasn't much of a help.

What is your current Hash rate ^^ and what kind of LTC do you make with NuKing if you dont mind me asking

im getting a 2.71% stale with reaper mining LTC is that normal sorry still noob

First, know that I am using an Nvidia Geforce gt 520 which SUCKS for mining, lol...

Once I got reaper working I was seeing hashrates around 8 KH/s at which point I promptly switched back to cgminer and I am receiving about 10 - 13 KH/s with cgminer.

Between both of my computers I am currently hashing at about 26 KH/s and for 608 shares (which took me maybe 2 hours) on NuKing's site I show an estimated payout of 0.37915263 LTC.

And as far as your stale rate go, that really depends. I have a less than 1% stale ratio at NuKing's, but I have received stale rates of 2% - 3% at other pools using the exact same miners and configurations...

Estimated payout is what you will receive when those blocks receive their 120 confirmations...
