Title: [SOLVED] First-time miner, can't get Gridcoin mining to work
Post by: aliens on December 29, 2013, 08:27:24 PM
Ohai! Post title pretty much sums it up. Read up some stuff on bitcoins and altcoins, and decided to give it a try with Gridcoin. Got BOINC installed, got the latest gridcoin-qt.msi, installed it, then tried to configure it to the best of my ability. Problem is the miner won't start. I've added the gridcoin.conf file, server settings, used the 7870-Pitcairn profile, then created the CG Miner instance. I try (re)starting the miner from the Gridcoin module, however I only get a quick flash of a cmd window opening then closing again within a second. Here's my gridcoin.conf: server=1 rpcuser=username rpcpassword=password rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 rpcport=9332 server=1 poolmining=false gen=0 dev0_gpu_thread_concurrency=8192 dev0_worksize=256 dev0_intensity=13 dev0_lookup_gap=2 dev0_enabled=True dev0_name=0 - Pitcairn - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. dev0_gpu_thread_concurrency=8192 And here's my cgm0: { "pools" : [ { "url" : "http://127.0.0.1:9332/", "user" : "username", "pass" : "password" } ], "api-listen" : true, "api-port" : "4000", "api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1", "intensity" : "13", "vectors" : "1", "worksize" : "256", "scantime" : "7", "kernel" : "scrypt", "scrypt" : true, "lookup-gap" : "2", "thread-concurrency" : "8192", "gpu-engine" : "0", "temp-cutoff" : "80", "temp-overheat" : "70", "temp-target" : "60", "gpu-threads" : "1", "temp-hysteresis" : "3", "gpu-platform" : "0", "device" : "0" }
Any idea how to proceed? :D Such cheers, very holidays, wow! (during my research I stumbled over dogecoin, and thus the doge meme) EDIT: Solved by changing the gpu-platform setting in cgm0 from 0 to 1.
