Title: Every block computed on my GPU is rejected?
Post by: Orbit45244 on May 20, 2011, 03:39:59 AM
Hello All,

I seem to have a problem with GPU mining on my Linux machine. It appears that every block computed is getting rejected. I have posted some output from DiabloMiner at http://pastebin.com/7gUjPav8 (http://pastebin.com/7gUjPav8), which illustrates what I mean. I am using a GeForce 9600 GSO with the latest DiabloMiner on Linux, on the BTCMine pool. What is going wrong?

Is your system clock correct?

Yes, it is correct down to fractions of a second, as it gets synced to an NTP server periodically.

I don't know if this tells you anything, but jgarzik's CPU miner does not have this problem when I use that on the same machine.

I'm afraid that I can't help you.

swith to CUDA mining instead.
note: Nvidia OpenCL is horrific this time, only PR BS is about, as long as they try push their proprietary CUDA garbage instead.

Makes sense, but I was under the impression that NVIDIA OpenCL has become adequate for mining...
Anyways, are there any CUDA miners? All I've seen are OpenCL ones.

puddinpop's rpc miner has a CUDA version available.
