Title: Sgminer 5.1.1 Quark problems Post by: Cryptozillah on October 02, 2015, 06:57:08 AM My AMD rigs are behaving really random. They sometime stops a couple of times (waiting for work to be available from pools) per day and i have to restart sgminer manually. No reboot is needed to get full hashrate again.
Does anyone know how to write up a loop in the config ? To make sgminer restart every third hour or so. This only happends when i am mining Quark, while mining ETH the same rig can go on forever without babysitting it. I guessing that it is sgminer messing up somehow.

Well, ETH is not that hot anymore.Too many mining it and price is going down. Right now i make more daily profit on quark with my AMD/Nvidia rigs combined. When mining ETH i have around 170Mhs and it gives me around 10 ETH daily. Thats like 0.028BTC. When mining Quark i have 134Mhs and it gives me around 0.045BTC daily mining at Nicehash. Longterm ETH is probably the winner but right now i need some daily profits to keep my mining going.

Code: :loop it restarts sgminer every 1h Title: Re: Sgminer 5.1.1 Quark problems Post by: Cryptozillah on October 03, 2015, 12:53:31 PM i had the same probem, i fixed it by writing this noob script:p Thanks, i will try it out.Code: :loop it restarts sgminer every 1h Title: Re: Sgminer 5.1.1 Quark problems Post by: Cryptozillah on October 04, 2015, 06:21:35 AM i had the same probem, i fixed it by writing this noob script:p I am trying this out now but i cant get it to work.Code: :loop it restarts sgminer every 1h Not sure if i am doing it right though. I placed a copy of my sgminer folder in c:\miner Inside it i made a new batch file called loop with: loop cd c:\miner start powershell.exe c:\miner\start_sgminer.bat TIMEOUT 3600 taskkill /im sgminer.exe /F >nul taskkill /im powershell.exe /F >nul goto loop When i fire loop batch file up it would launch sgminer right ? and restart it in 60 minutes. But all that happends is that the countdown starts without sgminer launches. If i start sgminer first and the loop up after it will kill sgminer when the countdown ends but not start it up again. What am i doing wrong here ? EDIT. I found another solution that is working here: http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1796598&page=74 Post: 1466 Title: Re: Sgminer 5.1.1 Quark problems Post by: qaaq on October 04, 2015, 10:06:13 AM you can put this script whatever you want, but second script c:\miner\start_sgminer.bat is your sgminer script containing:

Unfortunately no longer updated, but still works just fine. Title: Re: Sgminer 5.1.1 Quark problems Post by: Eastwind on October 06, 2015, 09:31:45 AM but why would u mine quark with AMD rig ?

I have 8 GPUs (underclocked 4X7990), doing 150Mh on ETH, and 80Mh on Quark.
