Title: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: whatthephil on February 05, 2014, 04:55:50 PM http://vertcoin.org (official website)
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.0 (main thread) So I feel the need to post this to help any newcomers, after having the worst experience trying to make vertcoin work correctly and getting an optimal amount of Kh/s. Vertcoin uses a new algorithm: Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor (Not scrypt-jane) which results in about half your normal hashrate, and requires different miner settings and a modded miner(vertminer). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is a list of things you will need! 1) First things first you need to get the Vertcoin wallet of course! http://vertcoin.org/#wallets 2) Second download VERTMINER-0.5.3 (it is currently not updated with the main website). If you want the latest versions of the miner you have to keep up with the main Vertcoin thread which is quoted below since they don't update the website with the latest version right away! This miner wont give you hardware errors (HW) like the other older versions. finally here it is vertminer-0.5.3 released windows build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n70hj3izjj64y1/vertminer-0.5.3.zip github source: https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git release notes: Code: Version 0.5.3 - 2 February 2014 Important: the automatic TC calculation is only performed if you do not set TC manually and this is only an estimation what could be the best. Manual tuning TC is in most cases the best you can do. 3) Thirdly you will need a GPU (of course), as well as A MINIMUM OF 4GB OF RAM(this is not optional!!!). This is where I had all my problems before. I was running this miner with only 2gb of ram in my system. If you do that you will get tons of Hardware Errors(HW)/Rejected shares, and you wont be able to go above Intensity level of "-I 12". As well as you cant have a Thread Concurrency(TC) that exceeds 6,000. I was only getting a total of 200 Kh/s on my XFX r9 280x. NOW IM GETTINGS 340 KH/s ONCE I PLUGGED IN 8GB INTO MY RIG. SO RAM IS DEFINITELY IMPORTANT. NO ONES SETTINGS WILL WORK FOR YOU IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS. 4) Lastly you will need to signup for a pool of your choosing which can be found here: http://vertcoin.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So once you extract the vertminer you then have to go and tweak your settings to best fit your setup. Vertminer gives you both a .bat file and a.conf file EITHER are fine to run the program. I personally use the .bat file to run the miner. To edit either of the files just right click "edit". Here are my settings for the .bat file. Averaging 340Kh/s on my XFX R9 280x! NO HW(HARDWARE ERRORS) setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200 setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 COLOR 0A vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://vertcoinheavyindustries.com:4444 -u xxxx -p xxxxxx -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1000,1000 --thread-concurrency 8193 Please post your settings below and any tips to help new comers! Thanks :) Vertcoin all the way! Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: whatthephil on February 05, 2014, 05:15:36 PM help the thread! post your settings below :D
Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: noobinscrypt on February 05, 2014, 05:30:42 PM Tried similar settings, and from the other How to Mine Vertcoin thread... with my 7970/280x i still get HW errors. On an i7 3770k desktop with 8gigs of ram, I cant get above i=12... very strange.
Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: CrystalCoin on February 05, 2014, 05:35:38 PM For some reason I'm getting better results with
COLOR 0B Weird, but I can still only get like 180 max out of my 270's... I've got 8gb in the system. Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: Brainofmasses on February 05, 2014, 06:04:52 PM Im getting a error that I can´t find the source of. Maybe someone here have a idea.
Ill try to mine VTC with a MSI 7950. When I start the modified cgminer, It means: Error -4: Enqueueing kernel onto command queue. <clEnqueueeNDRangekernel> GPU 0 failure, disabling! When I connect directly over the cgminer.exe it shows some unreal hashrates of 500 mhash and still no accepted shares. Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: madjihad on February 05, 2014, 07:17:00 PM IMPORTANT!!!!!
When you are setting you vertminer values via terminal/cmd or config file they aren't always used!!! To be sure what threads-concurrency, worksize and lookup-gap you are using check generated .bin files. And remove them before testing new settings. For example: file: scrypt140121Pitcairnglg2tc14144w256l8.bin GPU: Pitcairn threads-concurrency: 14144 worksize: 256 lookup-gap: 2 Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: whatthephil on February 05, 2014, 09:12:32 PM Im getting a error that I can´t find the source of.

It's the latest version. dont use anything else. Also do you have 4gb of ram or more? I was getting that same message UNTIL I got this version of VERTMINER and added 8gb to my rig. Problem solved Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: whatthephil on February 05, 2014, 09:27:11 PM Tried similar settings, and from the other How to Mine Vertcoin thread... with my 7970/280x i still get HW errors. On an i7 3770k desktop with 8gigs of ram, I cant get above i=12... very strange. Are you using the VERTMINER version I posted above? Did you just skip to my settings/configs..? Read everything maybe you missed something Had the same problem with intensities with the older miners. This one seems to work perfectly Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: LucD88 on February 05, 2014, 09:27:32 PM Got my Vertminer (v0.5.3) running stable, but it's far from optimized. Hope to get things running better with some help via this thread. :)

I've got 8gb in the system. seems about right. 270x go from 350-400 Kh/s and vertcoin cuts that in half.

Problem solved I suspect that the problem wasn't the lack of RAM in your machine, but the older cgminer you were running. Vertminer occupies very little RAM if you check it out when it's active.

Problem solved I suspect that the problem wasn't the lack of RAM in your machine, but the older cgminer you were running. Vertminer occupies very little RAM if you check it out when it's active. See the thing is I was skeptical like you. People were saying you need 4gb ram... 4gb ram.. and when I look at how much ram I was using the miner showed no difference. So it seemed like non-sense. So eventually after I tried everything possible I gave in and tried adding more ram (not expecting it to work). I upgraded from 2gb to 8gb. Then everything suddenly worked.... Intesity could go above -I 12, TC at 8193. Even if I look at how much ram Im using right now it says 15% usage (not much right?), so idk why more ram was necessary but it worked. I dont quiet understand why it worked but I'm just going by what worked and what people said would work. THEY WERE RIGHT :P My guess is that the vertcoin algorithm allocates memory differently which is what makes is asic resistant. Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: mattbigblue on February 06, 2014, 08:21:42 AM I have received 2x R9 290 Sapphire Tri-x (hynix). They are both totally different, I disconnected all of the cards and were running just them to fine tune. In gpu-z they have 84% and 76% asic quality, funny is that the lower one behavies better. I’m minning vertcoin which is using different scrypt but on reference cards usually clocks didn’t change for me much. What I find is that probably both cards can’t run on 1500 memory clock.
First card 1025-1040/1475 seems to be ok. Second cards Anything higher than 985-990/1450 and I get artifacts/HW errors. With 980/1500 I got HW right away, with 980/1475 left over night, I wake up and found 7HW..I left it now with 980/1450 and will see afternoon if any HW comes.. Both cards doesn’t tolerate undervolting (even -6mv gives artifacts and soon after freeze). They are hashing nice, around 470 and 455 on Vertcoin which is 50% of scrypt performance. I don’t understand why they can’t handle 1500Mhz, and one even 1000Mhz on engine if they are reference. My 3 other reference cards go no problem 1020/1500 (elpidia) with -19mv..And those 2 are hynix which supposed to be better. p.s. Even if I’m able to run stable with 1025/1475 on 1st and 980/1450 on another one, as soon as I stop minning I got computer freeze few seconds/minutes later , which is not the case on reference cards and it indicates that even these clocks are to much for them..What I like in these cards is extreme LACK of noise :) they run super quiet, around 70 degrees with 60% fan. WOW!! Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: NoSnipeLimit on February 06, 2014, 08:52:17 AM 16gb ram in machine

I followed your steps. My rig with two graphics cards works perfectly. But I have a problem when I'm trying to launch vertcoin mining on 3 and 4 cards graphics rigs (I receive kernel error). Do you know whats going on ? I have 4gb ram on each rig Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: Bitock on February 06, 2014, 10:36:38 AM 5xGV-R927XOC-2GD.

I have 2 x Sapphire Tri-X 290x cards... I am running the perfectly fine at 988 Khz each on any "normal" scrypt alt coin. Using I 20, 24600 thread conc, 1000 gpu engine. 1500 memory. This gives me NO HW at all. Now I wanted to transition over to Vect coins... this has ended up in a total fail... The miner I have currently has 4 gb ram. Using anything higher then 8192 tc makes the cards go disabled. Using any intensity higher then 13 makes the HW run mad. Going i13 and tc 8192 gives me a hash rate of about 280khz per card which is way less it should be. Using intensity 19-20 gives me around 470khz but then the hardware errors are INSANE. I have tried to adjust the config file so many times and it all ends up with the same results. I am using vectminer 0.5.3 I am in dire need of your help here!

Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: roundrobin on February 10, 2014, 08:13:25 PM What should be the expected hash rate for a 7990? We don't know yet as no one with enough RAM in their machine (4gb+) seems to have found optimal settings. With 6GB RAM in my miner, I manage to build a CL kernel that gives 500-520 KH/s on my 7990 when it's clocked at 950 mhz with 1000 mhz memory. These clocks give me 1330 KH/s for normal scrypt coins like Doge etc., and since vertcoin is supposedly performing at 50% my settings are not optimal. With my core/mem clocks, my 7990 -should- be able to reach 650 KH/s on vertcoin but so far no cookie, and I'm still not sure how very different the memory use of vertcoin is. Maybe memory speed makes a bigger difference on vertcoin than normal scrypt. I'll keep experimenting and will post the best results I find. Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: roundrobin on February 10, 2014, 08:22:34 PM Ok vertcoin is definitely different than normal scrypt coins when it comes to memory speed. On normal scrypt coins with my core 950 mhz, it doesn't make any difference if I clock memory to 1000 mhz or 1500 mhz, but for vertcoin it does. My 7990 is now doing 650 KH/s with 950/1250 settings, 2048 shaders, 8192 tc, 256 worksize, 2 GPU threads. I will experiment more.
Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: roundrobin on February 10, 2014, 09:45:07 PM Gigabyte HD7990 @ 1.025 VDDC, running Bufius' vertminer 0.5.3

It worked when I put another 4GB in for 6GB total. Maybe 4GB would be enough but I didn't get to test that as I returned the 4GB module I borrowed for the test. https://i.imgur.com/Dl58TWY.png Increasing memory clock gives no extra speed, just a bit higher temps and more power consumption. What's also strange is that going up to 1050 or 1100 MHz GPU clock did not increase hash rate at all, no matter if I used 1200 MHz or 1500 MHz memory clock. 950/1200 was the best setting I found. As the HD7990 is two 7970 on the same card I believe these settings should work just fine for HD7970 too.

My 280x was stuck at ~220kh/s with -I 12, as -I 13 was producing HW-errors like crazy. Also thread-concurrency 8193 didn't work at all, so I was using 6144.

Here are my settings, separated by type of card: 7950, at 283 kh/s: "intensity" : "21", "vectors" : "1", "worksize" : "256", "kernel" : "scrypt", "lookup-gap" : "2", "thread-concurrency" : "19712", "shaders" : "0", "gpu-engine" : "990", "gpu-fan" : "5-85", "gpu-memclock" : "1250", "gpu-powertune" : "10", "gpu-vddc" : "1.075", "temp-cutoff" : "95", "temp-overheat" : "90", "temp-target" : "75", "gpu-threads" : "1", "nscrypt" : true, 7970, at 367 kh/s: NB - This card needs to be run with 2 threads for optimum performance, and the intensity has to be 13.

Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: sandpaper on February 28, 2014, 10:01:11 PM I'm having trouble with my vertminer / other miners for some reason. It used to run fine on my 5858 around 146 kh/s. All of a sudden I try thekev's version once and it goes to max like 20 kh/s. No matter what I do now I cannot run scrypt-n at any normal rate. It is stuck so slow. My settings were the same as before, gpu doesn't really do much and the rpm stays low. It's like its running low intensity, but its set to the max of 12 for my card without HW errors.
Any clues as to what happened? I've tried using 13.9, 13.12, 14.1, 14.2 along with 2.9 apk sdk. Driver sweeper after regular uninstall along with deleting amdocl and opencl in system32 folder. I'm at a loss. I want to be able to scrypt n mine, but this is stumping me. Edit: Figured it out. Had a ridiculously high TC and didn't realize it could do that much damage. Set back to a multiple of 1440 and it works fine no crashes back to 140 for a 5850.

Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: Bionic345 on March 03, 2014, 04:47:37 PM I agree with you guys that VTC mining is not easy, or let's say settings are not easy.
I run 4x Saphire R9 280x dual-x cards with 4GB Ram. The rig runs very stable with no HW and very low RJ on win7 and cgAleksminer. Each card does around 363kh, just gpu 0 goes down 1kh sometimes, it also doesn't like if I spy with radmin, it will drop 10-20kh but return quickly after ;D I can't run a .config file, I will never get that hashrates if I choose a .config over a .bat file. I also can't use BAMT for that reason, hashrates will simply fuck up. For me it is all about using -g 2 over -g 1 in my .bat file. If I use -g 1 instead of -g 2, all gpus will be found immidately, but they only do 280kh. Now when running -g 2, I have to restart cgminer around 3-15 times until all GPUs work. So all the fail starts only get 3 gpus running and always a random gpu will be offline. I have 2 HDs, on my SSD I can't get all gpus running at once anymore, therefore I need to reinstall windows as it seems, I know that sounds weird but that happend after I closed the miner last time. Somehow I believe the blame goes to CGwatcher, maybe not, who knows? Anyway I work with my replacement HD now and everything works as I just wrote. Have a quick restart of cgminer for several times and all will be fine. Look at the picture, miner runs since 8.5 hours on that. No HW, No RJ. Indeed I get a few RJ sometimes, but that depends on the server as well. Never was much more than 2%. here are my setting: Code: setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100 http://s7.directupload.net/images/140303/phg5mff2.jpg PS: btw there is another big settings thread here ! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416572 Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: goldfries on March 03, 2014, 06:08:22 PM @thekitchen Thank you for posting these settings.

Are you still having problem? I got my 280X working from Scrypt to Vert within the hour. It was really tricky as it's tricky when it comes to settings. And your best bet is to use Vertminer 0.5.3. If any error appears, just try changing the settings. For example if there are 2 GPU running at 1050, then put 1050,1050 instead of 1050. Minor stuff like that could just fail the rig.

I have a strange problem. I have 5 rigs of 4 sapphires 290x TRIX. Mining SCRYPT I get around 3.5Mhs per rig. I have 8gb of ram on each rig, 4 cards using USB risers, 60% fan and the temp never get more than 80c, and often in the 70C range. The rig are stable. Sometime ATI drivers crash, but autoreboot and no problem. I wanted to use one of the rig to test Vertcoin... Here my problem begin. I use Vertminer 0.5.3 and the following parameters : Code: vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://vtc.crypto-pool.fr:4001 -u xx -p xx The goal was to see the generated parameters and use them. I did that for cgminer and it works well. Here I only get 2 of the 4 cards mining and at a rate of 500hs. Not kilohash, just hash... I reboot 20 times in order to make multiple tests, but I never manage to have 4 cards mining, and worst, the 2 that are mining are not always the same !!! Plus, if I run cgminer on anything else, everything is working fine... What is hapenning ? Is it a nasty plot to not allow me to mine Vertcoin ???? ;) Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: giantkin on March 23, 2014, 01:52:58 PM vertminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://stratum.ecurie.io:3333 -u giantkin.c1 -p xo -d 1 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8193 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 30-95 --temp-cutoff 90 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-target 80 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1020 --gpu-powertune -20 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0
pause 3 280's The above is working getting roughly 330-350 khs usually. however they drop to 100 each, then cycle back up. (temp hits 84 at the 350 range) only 75ish for the 100 range. Same setup but all one command the system would freeze after 1hr (to 4 hrs) and need a hard reset. this setup running an hr so far. Why the freezing with all in one. Why the drop in hash. Im ok with variable speed etc, but it drops so far, seems kinda odd. (my device 2 runs hotter than the other 2) device 0 sometimes needs 2x to start up clean. (this is the monitor device (tho, no monitor atm)) oh i am running 0.5.2 i noticed, so my next step is to update the version.

Thanks :) I'm using vertminer to mine Spaincoin (SPA) which has recently been changed from a Scrypt to a Scrypt-N coin. I'm running vertminer under CGWatcher. I simply renamed vertminer.exe to cgminer.exe so that CGWatcher's Profile Manager recognises the executable. Specs: - Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) - 3x Sapphire R9 290X - AMD driver: 13.251 (aka: 13.11 beta 9.5 from Guru3D) - AMD SDK v2.9 - vertminer-0.5.3 (download from this thread) (renamed to cgminer.exe as mentioned above so that it works under CGWatcher) - I do not use a config file, I just set everything with command line arguments as follows: --scrypt-vert --worksize 256 --thread-concurrency 14334 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20 -I 13 --lookup-gap 2 -o {url}:{port} -u {username}.{worker} -p {password} Performance: With intensity set to 20 I was getting 475Kh/s per card, but then I realised I was getting loads of hardware errors and had a rubbish WU. So I brought it right down to intensity 13, the highest I could go without getting hardware errors. At this rate unfortunately there are more profitable coins to mine. :( NOTES: 1) TWEAK YOUR TC as follows: If you have mined scrypt coins successfully before, you need to half the TC you used for scrypt. If you still get a crash, use half your scrypt TC but subtract another 256. E.g. - If your original scrypt TC = 28008 - half this value = 14004 (maybe this crashes) - if half didn't work, then try = 13748 When you get a successful TC: - increase it by 32 and try again - if the 32 increase was successful, keep increasing by 32 and trying again until you get a crash. - then reduce by 2 and try again and repeat this until it works again - now you will have optimal TC.

I tried on my gaming rig with 16gb ram still getting hardware error with incorrect setting. imo the ram dun matter that much but you will still need a min of 2gb for scyrpt mining.
1. check if you are mining from a p2pool. most likely your card is trying to mine blocks with too low difficulty. Quote My worker is getting a lot of hardware errors please refer to the following guide for detailsBecause of the short blocktimes on the p2pool sharechain, your workers need to receive much lower difficulty work than they would in a traditional pool. They must finish their work and submit it before it goes stale - on the main blockchain, this would happen every time a block was generated (every 2.5 minutes on average), wheras on p2pool a new block on the sharechain happens every 10 seconds on average. Very low difficulty work often causes hardware errors. You can prevent this by telling p2pool the minimum difficulty your worker requires. You do this by appending a string to the end of your username (your Vertcoin address) in your miners startup command. The formula for calculating what to append is: Vertcoin Address + 0.00000116 * Hash Rate in KH/s So, if your hashrate was 350KH/s, you would calculate: 0.00000116 * 350 = 0.000406 and if your Vertcoin address was ViPBVm4sbXT38h9J23GkAWfNKiuPwVUYQX then you would use ViPBVm4sbXT38h9J23GkAWfNKiuPwVUYQX+0.000406 as your p2pool username. You don't want to set this value too high, or you will increase your stale shares - it sets the minimum difficulty for the shares you receive, and if you set it too high you will receive a large percentage of shares that are too difficulty for your worker to complete before the next block is generated, so the work will go stale. Setting this parameter is a balancing act between submitting work fast enough to avoid stales, and obtaining work that is difficult enough that it doesn't produce HW errors, or consume unnecessary bandwidth (if you have a very low minimum difficulty, your worker has to ask the pool for work too often, consuming extra bandwidth unnecessarily). Here are some suggested values for various hashrates: KHash/s Difficulty 50 +0.00005821 100 +0.00011641 250 +0.00029103 500 +0.00058207 750 +0.00087310 1000 +0.00116414 https://vtcpool.co.uk/p2pool-guide.html 2. to find the right setting balance btw concurrency thread and intensity. thread-concurrency works in a 64 block for example if you put 8256 you will mine at concurrency block of 8256-64 = 8192 in order to mine at thread-concurrency of 8256 set your thread-concurrency at anything 8256 + 0~64 it will automatically round down to the next nearest 64 block. you can check the file generated to see which thread-concurrency it is running at by checking your folder for "scrypt140121Tahitiglg2tc8256w256l4.bin" 3. imo thread-concurrency uses ram on you gpu, the higher you set , the more gpu ram will be used to some point miner will tell you that you do not have enough ram 4. higher thread-concurrency doesn't seems to affect much on the overall kh/s but intensity does. you will need to find a thread-concurrency that allows you to go for highest intensity without hardware error. unfortunately at this point of time, from what I read, same card may not work with same thread-concurrency / intensity combination. you will need to manually poke the right value for your card. my config setting is "intensity" : "18", "worksize" : "256", "lookup-gap" : "2", "gpu-threads" : "1", "expiry" : "30", "scan-time" : "5", "thread-concurrency" : "6000", "temp-cutoff" : "88" 5850 sapphire running at 830/875mhz oc via trixx, higher ram/gpu speed will affect the kh/s but to some point the increase in ram/gpu speed will not benefit much as compared to heat increase. find the balance to get the most out with least heat for a longer lasting hardware. lastly a screenshot of my 2gb pc running without hardware error. happy tuning and share your finding here. https://i.imgur.com/hi2a8Hk.png Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: bitcoinsguru on April 04, 2014, 02:44:29 AM Can anybody help me to mine Vertcoin with CPU, which miner should I use..
Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: Thirtybird on April 04, 2014, 03:25:30 AM You've got the general concepts correct - let me fill in the details for you.
Thread-Concurrency : for scrypt, this ONLY affects the size of the OpenCL buffer on the GPU. It creates a buffer in size = TC*128/(1024/Lookup-Gap) (roughly, for LG=1, 2, 4 & 8 - there's other considerations for the other LG's). TC of 8192 and Lookup Gap of 2 = 512 MB buffer - this is the most common setting I see people using for regular scrypt coins. Lookup-Gap : as this setting goes up, this increases the effective size of the memory available to openCL hashing threads at the cost of some GPU cycles. A LG of 2 doubles the buffer size, a LG of 4 quadruples it. In-between settings give in-between values, etc. The same setting of TC=8192 and LG=2 gives an effective memory size of 1024MB Hash Size - based on N. Vertcoin is currently at N=11 and requires 256KB of memory per hash. AMD GPU shaders (this one is based on observation) : AMD cards running mining software can get 4 * the number of shaders executing simultaneously. Each one needs its own memory allocation. Combine all of this. Take the number of shaders on your card, multiply by 4. Then multiply by 256 KB. This is how large your effective memory needs to be. With the TC 8192 and LG 2, the effective memory of 1024 MB means that if your card has 1024 shaders, you're fine as this is the exact amount needed! If you have any more shaders (say even an R9 270 with 1280 shaders), you need to allocate a higher buffer size or you will get HW errors. With 1280 Shaders, you need effective memory of 1280 MB which can be accomplished by a TC of 10240/LG 2. Taking this to the extreme - the 290X has 2816 shaders, to keep the LG at 2, you need a TC of 22528 (1,408 MB, effective size of 2816). At this level, you may have difficulty allocating the whole buffer size in one thread if your system ram is only 2GB - The buffer gets allocated in system ram before being passed to the OpenCL kernel for execution. If you think you've got the hang of it, try tuning your card to mine YACoin, where each hash requires 4MB of memory :) Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: SpeedDemon13 on April 04, 2014, 03:34:58 AM Seems like the most important setting in Scrypt-N is the TC setting and running the core clock at default or a little lower. If some how someone can get Scrypt-N to lower power consumption and keep the same hash rate, that would be a goldmine....

Most newer miners are patched to fix that, but you didn't specify what you were using.

YACMiner (in my signature) is capable of mining VertCoin, and has a patch that fixes an adl problem that was similar (maybe the same problem) to yours.

You are a lifesaver!! I was having a baggggilllllionnnn issues, this or that, or one thing or another trying to set up to mine vertcoin. I followed this article to a T (minus minor changes to account for HW differences) and presto! You rock! TYTYTY!!!!! I am a super-small-scale miner running from a laptop for fun and experience. This is my bat file: @ECHO off timeout /t 5 setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200 setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1 COLOR 0A vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://vtc.poolz.net:3333 -u xxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxx -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 1 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --auto-fan --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90 --gpu-engine 685 --thread-concurrency 3584 PAUSE THANKS! ;D http://vertcoin.org (official website) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.0 (main thread) So I feel the need to post this to help any newcomers, after having the worst experience trying to make vertcoin work correctly and getting an optimal amount of Kh/s. Vertcoin uses a new algorithm: Scrypt-Adaptive-Nfactor (Not scrypt-jane) which results in about half your normal hashrate, and requires different miner settings and a modded miner(vertminer). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Here is a list of things you will need! 1) First things first you need to get the Vertcoin wallet of course! http://vertcoin.org/#wallets 2) Second download VERTMINER-0.5.3 (it is currently not updated with the main website). If you want the latest versions of the miner you have to keep up with the main Vertcoin thread which is quoted below since they don't update the website with the latest version right away! This miner wont give you hardware errors (HW) like the other older versions. finally here it is vertminer-0.5.3 released windows build: https://www.dropbox.com/s/5n70hj3izjj64y1/vertminer-0.5.3.zip github source: https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git release notes: Code: Version 0.5.3 - 2 February 2014 Important: the automatic TC calculation is only performed if you do not set TC manually and this is only an estimation what could be the best. Manual tuning TC is in most cases the best you can do. 3) Thirdly you will need a GPU (of course), as well as A MINIMUM OF 4GB OF RAM(this is not optional!!!). This is where I had all my problems before. I was running this miner with only 2gb of ram in my system. If you do that you will get tons of Hardware Errors(HW)/Rejected shares, and you wont be able to go above Intensity level of "-I 12". As well as you cant have a Thread Concurrency(TC) that exceeds 6,000. I was only getting a total of 200 Kh/s on my XFX r9 280x. NOW IM GETTINGS 340 KH/s ONCE I PLUGGED IN 8GB INTO MY RIG. SO RAM IS DEFINITELY IMPORTANT. NO ONES SETTINGS WILL WORK FOR YOU IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THIS. 4) Lastly you will need to signup for a pool of your choosing which can be found here: http://vertcoin.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So once you extract the vertminer you then have to go and tweak your settings to best fit your setup. Vertminer gives you both a .bat file and a.conf file EITHER are fine to run the program. I personally use the .bat file to run the miner. To edit either of the files just right click "edit". Here are my settings for the .bat file. Averaging 340Kh/s on my XFX R9 280x!

Why the freezing with all in one. Why the drop in hash. Im ok with variable speed etc, but it drops so far, seems kinda odd. (my device 2 runs hotter than the other 2) device 0 sometimes needs 2x to start up clean.

I've been mining LTC's using this guide; https://www.weminecryptos.com/forum/topic/2187-guide-housing-xubuntu-setup-amd-drivers-kalroth-cgminer-monitoring-and-vbios-flashing/ (https://www.weminecryptos.com/forum/topic/2187-guide-housing-xubuntu-setup-amd-drivers-kalroth-cgminer-monitoring-and-vbios-flashing/) Will there have to be made any big changes to get it mining VTC (I'm not sure how long I'll be mining VTC's, and don't wanna totally F.U. the rig from going back to LTC's)? I've read a couple of how-to's about how to get VTC-mining running on Linux, but have I done most of what have to be done since it's already mining LTC? I'm quite a noob on Linux btw.... Have a second computer running Win7, and getting that one to mine VTC's was done in a jiffy.... :) And since I'm already writing a post, I've been wondering for some time now: If I connect through Putty to the Linux- rig, and start cgminer through putty. If I then disconnect, and reconnect with putty again, how can I bring back up "cgminer-window" (which is already running on that computer) to view temps and stuff like before disconnecting??? Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: GunXpatriot on October 31, 2014, 03:59:05 AM hi guys, I have two R9 270's (non-x) and copied rafonpro's settings into my .conf file. So then I started vertminer 0.5.4 pre-3. It says it loaded the file, the nsays started vertminer again... Then says...
"Fatal JSON error in configuration file." "Configuration file could not be used." "Need to specify at least one pool server" Then asks me to type it in, and I do. Then it crashes. Anyone know how to fix this? Title: Re: Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin) Post by: GunXpatriot on October 31, 2014, 06:30:50 AM Alright, so I got it working on 0.5.2, but it runs for a few minutes, then either bluescreens me, gives me a white screen, a white screen with kind of "grey bars" on it, or just freezes everything up.
Then it kind of fixed itself, but windows wouldn't respond and I had little "glitchy" artifacts all over the desktop. I keep resetting and it keeps happening. I tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling, with the latest update, but it's still happening... Perhaps the other guy was using a different 270 than I was? I hear that other versions had like several thousand more shaders or, something... I'm using Asus R9 270's, and I think the other kind I'm talking about was a Gigabyte? I'm really not sure. I'll try to hunt around, but hopefully someone can help me! Thanks a lot!!
