21  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Pools (Altcoins) / Re: [Scrypt] Best MultiPool with profitability coin switch (check out the list!) on: May 09, 2014, 11:16:50 PM
Is it possible to enable automatic withdrawals on Ghash? I can only see the option for on demand payouts with a 0.001 fee.

I'm actually having the same old problem with 1.0a: too many rejects (compared to 0.9c). Setting --no-refresh seems to make it worse (will keep running for a while longer to confirm this).

Don't use --no-refresh if you are having issues with rejects, it does make it worse as it only sends new work when a new block is detected, as opposed to always sending new work to the GC3355.
It's a command line option specifically for the Blade users.

OK. I've switched to another pool (ghash) and cpuminer is not giving high rejects. But, difficulty stays @ 16, which is lower than I'm used to seeing - is that anything to worry about? More traffic? (noob questions I know)

I know the admins @ GiveMeCoins tested cpuminer with their pool but I don't think they tried the Windows builds, FWIW.

That's no issue, the bandwidth consumed when mining is relatively low.
BTW, there is no difference between Windows build or the others. I still stand by that it's a pool issue, because I'm getting 0.2-1% reject rate on any pool I tested except that one.

Sure I see what you mean. Its just curious that 0.9c works fine with GiveMeCoins pool.

Latest build of 0.9g instantly crashes on me (Win 8.1). Build from a few hours ago works unless I specify 2 pools, or use the --no-refresh switch, in which instance it also instantly crashes.

That being said, it (the previous build of 0.9g) is the first version since 0.9c that is giving me a nice low amount of rejects (0.5%). During the last 10 hours:

A:5826  R:29  HW: 2 (var diff ~64)

Keep an eye on the dropbox links, the binaries are updated once in a while. Should work without any crashes now.

As of now the link on your dropbox is saying its 11hours old. I think thats the one I'm already using but updated again just to be sure. Still crashing unfortunately.

The latest build on dropbox (13h ago) should not crash. What is your cpuminer command line?

It works OK when I remove this part from my bat file:

--gc3355-freq=\\.\COM1:875,\\.\COM1:850:2,\\.\COM2:850:0,\\.\COM2:850:1,\\.\COM2:825:2,\\.\COM2:875:3,\\.\COM2:850:4,

Is there a problem with that syntax? 0.9c does not have a problem with it.

OK I finally got the top off my gridseed lol. But now..

How do I get the bottom off? Mite seem like a basic question but do I need to use a spanner to unscrew those 4 gold posts, before the bottom heatsink will come loose?

Yes - those 4 posts are what screws down the circuit board to the other half of the heatsink.

Thanks! I'll try that out tomorrow if I can find a pair of pliers.

For those who had a high reject rate since v0.9e, you should try v0.9g. It has an additional command line parameter to only send work when a new block is detected (--no-refresh), by default it always sends new work as previously, so there should be much less rejects. You may enable this if your G-Blade is having trouble keeping up with the work sent.

Thanks, tried this with 0.9g but it says:

minerd-gc3355: unrecognised option `--no-refresh'
Try `minerd --help' for more information.


I did a little update while I was  uploading v0.9g, redownloading the binaries should fix it.

OK got the new version now. This however finds my gridseeds, sets their frequencies, but then shows 0 speed and there is no activity in relation to accepted shares. Very curious. Anyone else getting this?

I'm still getting lots of rejects with cpuminer 0.9d onwards so I'm going to try a different pool to see if that helps. Is there a switch in cpuminer to set the diff? cex.io (GHash.IO - same thing?) does not seem to use vardiff and its default 16 seems a bit low. My main pool (give-me-coins) starts at 16 but usually goes up to 96-128+ within minutes.

And FWIW the rejects I get from give-me-coins pool only start to happen when diff goes up to 64+. What diff are you guys getting/setting?

I've unscrewed my gridseed but it won't seem to come apart. Brute force required?

no, should go loose pretty easy once you got the 4 screws out, could stick a little due to thermal pad but nothing excessive

Hmm if the thermal pad is stuck that tight I'm worried that its going to rip some components off the PCB if I apply enough force to seperate it.

Looks like both version work fine (at least for me).

Is this the RPi or Windows build you were testing? Windows here, with my problems..
38  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [GUIDE] GridSeed 5-Chip USB & Blade Miner Support/Tuning on: May 06, 2014, 01:36:52 PM
Are you sure? The code regarding "Stratum detected new block" message hasn't changed.
When the pool detects a new block, stratum.job.clean is set to true.
https://github.com/siklon/cpuminer-gc3355/commit/d07b9abe2f3fbd0f530f2e6d5af54449f87c2d78

I appreciate what you are saying but in answer to your question yes I am sure, here's a screenshot from 0.9c where the message "Stratum detected new block" can be seen:

I've only been running it for a little while but 0.9e seems to be giving the same problems as 0.9d, for me (Windows version). i.e. too many rejects with message "DEBUG: reject reason: unknown-work". Who here on Windows is or is not having the same issue? I've gone back to using 0.9c, again - its working fantastic. Sandor do you think this issue is likely to be specific to my setup? You are the magic jesus of mining and I look forward to your reply. Smiley

In 0.9d, new work is sent when there is a new job and after a nonce is found, in 0.9c it would stop hashing immediately and send the new work. The latter is actually inefficient and slows down the mining.
Could you post a log with --debug and --protocol option enabled?

Personally I'm still getting 0.2% rejects whatever the pool I go with.

Sure thing. Just add --debug and --protocol-dump to my bat file? I assume it will output the debug dump into a file in the same directory. How long should I run it for to produce something useful. An hour? I'll do it tomorrow its 3am here and I need to collapse.

Sandor I can't see that the debug/log is being stored anywhere just printed to the screen? Rejects still seem high for me in your Windows build from today of 0.9e (A:306 R:36 H:0 over 60mins). Here is an excerpt from the log when some errors occured. Does this shed any light?

The pool doesn't report new blocks at all (WTF?), so of course cpuminer sticks with the old work. I would suggest that you try a different pool.

When I run with 0.9c I do get "Stratum detected new block" messages in the log, if that is what you mean (same pool).
