I have been using phoenix miner for months now and get an average of 1 or 2 invalid shares/day. I just recently switched over to cgminer and am now getting about 15-20 invalid shares per day, one day I got 50. Im mining with 50btc, and they use a stratum server to apparently cut down on invalid shares. Im mining at 795mhs, 11.12 driver, 2.1 sdk, my cgminer flags are:
-I 9 -k phatk -w 256 -v 2 -I 9 -g 4
does anyone have any suggestions?
Suggestions? How about posting in the CG Miner support thread. Or maybe in the 50btc support thread. |

Ohhhhhmygod ok. Thank you so much, I now understand.
Glad to hear it. I thought I made the wrong assumptions. BTC Guild has a support thread under the pools subforum and the Pool Op is very approachable too. Take Care, Sam |

the PPS earnings show 0.04352482 for the past 3 days now,
yet Account Balance = 0.00883340
And when I try to withdraw it says i need at least 0.01
Is this a glitch in their system?
Here is what I get from your message PPS Earnings 0.04352482 PPLNS Earnings undisclosed Total Earnings undisclosed Paid Out undisclosed Account Balance 0.00883340 You gave your PPS earnings as 0.04352482 and then requested a pay out before of an undisclosed amount and now your leftover balance is 0.00883340 and you want to withdraw again.

I did earn 0.04352482 3 days ago, but it isn't showing in the "account balance" field.
That is the total PPS earnings that you have earned on BTC Guild since you started mining there. My previous message assumed that you had withdrawn from BTC Guild before. Was my assumption incorrect? |

0.00883340 is less than the 0.01 threshold. So when you reach the threshold it will payout. |

You effectively have 180x 5 = 900Ghs from the fee.
180 what times 5 what? exactly? |

Deleted my poclbm.ini file and started over...I am able to mine now but am getting this in console still.

seems like I had edited the .ini to read "stratum.btcguild.com:3333" and it worked just fine. not sure where the double port thing came from in the last .ini file.
Port 8332 is the getwork port. If you want to mine using stratum you probably should be using Host (USA) stratum.btcguild.com:3333 or Host (EU) eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 |

@stratum.btcguild.com:3333:8332
You can enter two sets of port numbers?? I've never seen that before. |

What is happening with stratum server? My miners have hiccup. Few times in last few hours I've been disconnected  Thank god that cgminer can switch to spare server... Which stratum server are you using? I'm using stratum.ozco.in and it seems to have been stable here. Sam |

so would it be better for me to use higher or lower share difficulty?
That's a fairly low hash rate so it really wouldn't make much difference. I don't think so anyway. But it wouldn't hurt either and it would save you and the pool a little bit of bandwidth usage. When you go to an ASIC based mining hardware for Bitcoin then you will want to increase your difficulty for shares. Most pools have an automatic/dynamic option by default so if yours has that enable it and see what the pool does with your difficulty. Basically the higher difficulty shares you submit the fewer shares you submit which lightens the load on the pools servers. Sam |

I have noticed that my mining pool (50btc) are now offering the option of selecting share difficulty. A higher difficulty share pays more, but takes longer to generate, so what is the advantages if any of selecting a higher share difficulty? I am mining in pps.
thanks
Less bandwidth usage. What is the hash rate of your mining equipment? |

i use 24 computer to mine, until today no problem at all but this morning the shit hit me hard. when i open cgminer.exe what surprise i have there....... virus: UnclassifiedMalware@1 just say to me that shit dont come with cgminer  If you search this thread you will probably come up with hundreds of replies about false virus scanner hits. Email a complaint about the false hit to your antivirus vendor. |

That said, I pay $0.093/kWh flat rate in Rolla, MO. Not too bad.
Never thought to do a search for folks from my hometown. Also keep in mind that when RMU's supply runs low they fire up diesel generators to make up the shortfall. How's that for being green  . Sam |

How about Fred for short.

damn, that is really depressing, I put you at 1397.8 B down still
you just don't deserve that,
come on folks, we can do better than 1.3Gh
I agree with your sentiments. But that is, sometimes, the cost of doing business. And I really respect this pool for this stance. Although I do hope more refund the mistaken payouts. Sam |

I concur with letting CG Miner control your GPU fans.
In Speedfan you can set the "flame" thresholds at anything you want, I think the default is something like 55C which is nothing to worry about on any component in a computer. So pay attention to the actual temps instead of the flame.
There are people who run their GPU's anywhere from 50C to 90C or even higher sometimes. I let CGMiner maintain mine around 75C which is the default.

The second is by setting up a miner (or adding a load balance backup pool) using the worker: btcguild_donate
CGMiner seems to require a password? |
|
|
|
any idea what deepbit uses?
No, but you can bet it's safe. |
|
|
|
so another potentially stupid question: what if we're not mining and we're just upgrading our client to 0.8? Is that ok?
From what I have gathered scanning #bitcoin-dev - OK to run 0.8 if you are NOT mining against it. Ok, for the sake of us uniformed idiots, just what the hell is your point?!?!?!? Please enunciate your syllables as accurately as possible. |

That may well be a human, but not humanity, not all of it anyway. |
