Title: cgminer not mining: Tell me if am i doing something wrong
Post by: Axel! on June 28, 2013, 01:45:48 PM
Hello there,

i've installed cgminer to try start mining litecoin with an Ati Radeon HD 7470.

I'm registered into wemineltc.com pool and i'm using the batch file to launch cgminer that they provide with the worker setup wizard.

Code:
./cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.wemineltc.com:3333 -u Axel.1 -p x -I 13

Cgminer starts without errors but the process is actually doing anything, my hashrate is still at 0, gpu seems not working at all since the temperature does not starts to grow.

Tried to trace the process activity with the linux command "strace" and i see that the process is not working

Code:
~ $ sudo strace -p 28874
Process 28874 attached - interrupt to quit
futex(0x6895a4, FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE, 5, NULL

anyone could help me?

I have never mined LTC, but I always see people set thread concurrency.  Maybe try setting that for your card and see if that changes things.  Do a quick google search for the optimal setting for you card, possibly around 8192

Go here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117221.0 and read up. There is also this file called 'README.TXT' in the CGM directory that you should read as well.

Did you ever figure out optimal settings for cgminer with your Ati Radeon HD 7470?

I read the Consolidated Litecoin Mining Guide for 5xxx, 6xxx, and 7xxx GPUs (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=117221.0) thread, did some math based on it, but do see any difference with my 7470.  I was hoping you had better luck than I did.

Thanks!
