Maybe it's for 3GB? /3... = 1866 which is still a lot :/

No, I realize now, it's because it's 1375 memclock x GDDR5 memory which equals to 5.5Gbps
1445  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Altcoin Discussion / Re: 2 x 7970 problem, need help on: December 19, 2013, 07:22:36 PM
However I don't understand your settings;

This is default:



The switch is possible on 1.

WTF, 5600 Memclock!?!?!? That CAN'T be right...

According to someone it's my PSU

Which PSU did you use?

They are correct. Your GPU's require 750w each for minimum requirements (1000w for crossfire setup) which means your GPU's alone will need between 1750 - 2250w and then your sempron needs another 45w.

your wrong on specs,

my rig pulls 785watts from the wall according to me meter, 2x 6990s, so for a 3rd you can add about 350watts. so his psu is fine

Ok, then tell the companies that created his GPUs that THEIR specs are wrong, I am telling him the factory recommended system requirements for his make and brands for solo and crossfire set-ups.

Powercolor 7950 Minimum System Requirements: 500w PSU (850 w/ crossfire set-up)
Sapphire 7950 Minimum System requirements: 500w PSU (850 w/ cross-fire set-up)

powercolor x2 = 1000w (850 w/ crossfire)
sapphire x1 = 500w
Athlon II x1 = 45 - 80w depending on model



Total = 1395 - 1580+w
Your PSU = 1100w

Have you found a block yet since you started pool mining?  I believe it doesn't kick in until you find a block, but then you get a portion of all blocks that are found from the pool (anyone with poolmining=true).  That is the advantage, not the change in difficulty.  You will not have pseudo-share difficulty like traditional pools. 

Ah, I see... So everyone in the pool gets an equal share of the blocks found by the pool, but first you must find a block and you must  also find a block often enough to be kept in the lookback period... Now I understand, thank you!

If difficulty is 500 and everyone in the pool is cpu mining, then pretty much no one will find any blocks? Am I understanding this correctly?  Huh

It's to my understanding that the pool is for gpu mining. Cpu mining is done differently: https://cryptocointalk.com/topic/1922-cpu-mining-tutorialtopic/

1450  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread on: December 18, 2013, 05:22:24 PM
No there is no difference in difficulty; if there was everyone would want to pool mine to get something for nothing. LOL.  

I may not understand your question; if you are asking what is the benefit for you personally; none at this time since you can find a few blocks a day, it doesn't make much difference to you at this time.

But if we were solo mining feather, with a 100 difficulty, you would not get anything for 15-30 days; at that point the pool would come in handy, because the lookback would be 60 days (its dynamic), and members of the pool would be paid every time any other member of the pool finds a block, making regular payments would satisfy some miners as they go - if we had a high difficulty like that.

Rob H.

Ok, let me try to explain my question better:

When I normally join a pool, let's say I am joining for a coin which has a difficulty of 500. When I mine at that pool I submit shares that are a target difficulty of 16 (NOT a difficulty of 500).

Every round when a block of difficulty 500 is found they compare how many difficulty 16 shares I have submitted and pay me based on a ratio of my difficulty 16 shares as compared to the total of difficulty 16 shares.



Now, let's say Gridcoin's real difficulty is 500. When I join Gridcoin's pool, I am still mining at difficulty 500 which means I am NOT submitting shares, I am only solving blocks.

HOW am I EVER going to get paid from the pool when there are no shares being submitted...?
1451  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread on: December 18, 2013, 04:47:51 PM
Can anyone please explain the benefit of "poolmining=true"...?

I have tried setting "poolmining=true" a couple of times and cgminer just continues to mine at the real difficulty, if the share difficulty doesn't decrease for "poolmining=true", then why even have it at all...?

Thanks!
Why have it at all:
Because people with cards slower than 500kh/s can be in the pool and receive regular payments over time.
If the difficulty rose to 10 lets say, the 100kh/s card would still be in the pool forever, because the difficulty changes the lookback period.
And if the 100kh/s user finds any block during the lookback period they stay in the pool.
So it simulates the equivalent of how a real pool functions.

If a user wants to take the risk of finding a block by solo mining they can, but they may not receive payments for long periods of time when difficulty is high.

Rob H.



That really does not answer my question.

I have a card that does ~400 KH/s, when I joined the pool there was literally ZERO difference in the difficulty that I was mining at. I was mining at the full target difficulty.

If there is literally ZERO difference between solo mining difficulty and the pool's share difficulty then what is the point of having "poolmining=true"...?

Lmao.  It's only 63 BTC you idiot. 

I'm sure you wouldn't be complaining if BTC was climbing to 2k at the moment when you might have sold them at their low.

Sounds like you should not be anywhere near crypto currencies at the moment.  You might want to wait until the only way to buy goods is by using Bitcoins before considering owning any.  You're not built for it.


WTF... What do you mean ONLY 63 BTC...?

If you've got BTC to just throw away like that where 63 BTC doesn't mean shit to you, please feel free to throw some BTC away in this direction...

Question:

What is the benefit of poolmining=true

When I set poolmining=true cgminer reports the same difficulty and I don't seem to be finding shares any faster, so it seems to me that I am just mining at full difficulty as if I was solo mining but I have to share the rewards if I find a block...?
1456  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: Gridcoin (GRC) - first coin utilizing BOINC - Official Thread on: December 15, 2013, 05:34:36 AM
Do you guys know when "cpumining" starts to pay out GRC?
Have been cpumining for some time now.
Will be great to see the BOINC credits get accounted directly.

Gridcoin isn't really designed for cpu mining, for Gridcoin your cpu should be used for BOINC then you want to use your GPU for Gridcoin.

If you use your cpu for Gridcoin you will get reduced rewards as either your hashing speed will be reduced by BOINC or, if you decide not to run BOINC, you will only get 5 GRC for found blocks.

What is your cpu hashrate like...?

http://www.gridcoin.us/download/guiminer_scrypt_alpha.txt Read this before you do anything.

you have to specify the boinc install and data folder in gridcoin.conf

Also make sure you are running the gridcoin client as Administrator.

My wallet keeps crashing 1.1.4.0 - I think it's when the mining console loads

Can anyone help? Thanks




I'm sorry I am new at this and this is like a foreign language to me

What is boinc install?

I have a gridcoin.conf file under %appdata%\gridcoin with:

addnode=76.187.184.27:9778
addnode=66.187.94.194:9778
addnode=76.74.177.224:9778
addnode=84.125.196.167:9778
addnode=71.233.139.62:9778
addnode=72.92.48.105:9778




Ok I went through the link you posted and followed it step by step... my boinc seems to be working
but my wallet still freezes as soon as both wallet and mining console load

Try this in your .conf

Code:
rpcuser=YourUsername
rpcpassword=YourPassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
poolmining=false
addnode=98.114.181.178
addnode=76.187.184.27
addnode=66.187.94.194
addnode=76.74.177.224
addnode=84.125.196.167
addnode=71.233.139.62
addnode=72.92.48.105

If you want to participate in the client's internal pool you can change "poolmining=false" to "poolmining=true" but when I joined the pool I saw no difference in the difficulty, so I just mine solo...

Picture it in other way.
A company running a factory in town x , goes to town y where their main competitor is running his business , start a new factory and offer three times the payout. Because the second owner can't afford it and can't find qualified peoples he has to close it down (51% attack). Then with the competitor gone , the guy from town x will also close the second factory and leave the people unemployed.

This is the way scamcoins feed.

I understand your theory, but my point is (as I said): "If a network can't stand up to a loss in hashing power then that coin was flawed to begin with."

No coins , not even bitcoin is able to deal with a hashpower issue generated by somebody willingly losing money to drive miners out..
Maybe in the future , but not right now.

The Bitcoin network is increasing in hashpower every day, the difficulty has been increasing ~15% every 11 days for sometime now with even higher spikes more recently.

I promise, a couple of startup coins that 90% of which will never see an exchange will never be able to hurt Bitcoin's hashrate.
