Title: R9 290X Ultracoin Scrypt-Jane - NEED HELP!
Post by: moondrelor on March 09, 2015, 03:14:52 AM
I've been trying to find the best settings for Ultracoin mining. Here is my config file.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --verbose --scrypt-jane -o stratum+tcp://stratum.tumblingblock.com:3333 -u moondrelor.1 -p x --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388361600 --thread-concurrency 32765 -I 20 -g 1 -w 256 --gpu-fan 85 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 947 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20
@pause

These seemed like the best results through out the hundreds of different posts I've seen on this setup. It ended up giving me graphic artifacts and crashing my computer. When I rebooted it stayed this way, until I was able to get into my graphic card settings and reset them back to default.

Can someone please help me? What is the best config for Ultracoin on a R9 290X? I am going to be mining off two of them. How much hashing should I expect off each one? And what am I doing wrong?

I might suggest you use CG Watcher to manage your miner.  I do.  It keeps the miner active, by rebooting it if there is trouble at 2AM, as well as handling the fan speed changes and intensity changes if there is overheating.
