Thanks for the info. If not for this posting I probably would have missed it since I don't frequent the area which it was posted. Thanks, Sam |

It's a 480 GB SSD, I don't think Spinrite will help  The box is a fairly recent reload, I'm not keen on doing it again. I was hoping someone might have a magic bullet. Ah, no I don't think it would be good to run any hard drive utility on an SSD. Is your swap file and temp directory set to the SSD? If so I would put a regular spinning hard drive in the system just for that purpose. It's supposedly bad to continuously re-write data to SSD's. Sam |

I'm seeing some odd behavior if I use load-balance for the pool strategy under 2.4.1.
I'm mining on EMC and Ozcoin. If I use the default failover pool management strategy, I get a rejection rate of 0.4% or lower with either EMC or Ozcoin as the primary. If I use load-balance, my rejection rate goes up to around 4 or 5%.
I believe this, at least partially, because of Merged Mining. You get allot of Namecoin Long Poll's. On Ozco you can disable NMC LP's, don't know about EMC but I would check and see if disabling NMC LP's helps. Sam |

Ok, so I'm at stumped, maybe someone has an idea:
I have a W7 x64 box that I reloaded recently. I loaded the ATI drivers and the SDK... firing up CGMiner, it mines just fine. However, when I q out of CGminer, W7 will BSOD with a SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION in atikmdag.sys. I've Googled the hell out of it and tried all the suggestions and nothing seems to work.
Anyone?
Did you find this article? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff558949%28v=vs.85%29.aspxI would run Spinrite on the drive. Sam |

Graet,
Are you going to get a Namecoin address for donations? If you did I could just change my Namecoin wallet address to that and then you wouldn't need to worry about separating BTC and NMC donations. Thought that may be easier and quicker.
Sam
oh, good idea  NF9ZvGcqv23p9TJRdygqrpSG7iqGzsvDtT cheers Sam added to site footer too I changed my NMC wallet to your address and set the threshold at 5 NMC. I have over that now so hopefully it will transfer soon. Thanks, Sam |

However I wonder if it's difficult to setup the configuration file so that I don't need to put in data manually every time I restart cgminer?
Personally I like the using the command line options and create a .bat file. Look in post #1 and go to the executive summary section for common command line options/suggestions. Once you get a configuration you like, I understand, you can then write that to a config file and get rid of the command line options. But I don't do that. Sam |

Anyone else seeing this in their router log. The from packet is from deepbit and the xx are one of my miners. I'm not using those ports so I'm unsure why deepbit is trying to connect to them.It's multiple different ports in random order. Almost seems like a port scanner.Any info would be appreciated.
Blocked incoming TCP packet from 46.4.121.118:8332 to xxx.xxx.x.x:45353 as ACK received but there is no active connection
Blocked incoming TCP packet from 46.4.121.118:8332 to xxx.xxx.x.x:50774 as PSH:ACK received but there is no active connection
To answer your question, I am seeing dropped packets on my router also. Mine are in the 55000+ range. I'll install Wireshark on my rig and see what my source ports are on my packets leaving. Sam |

I would run Wireshark on your mining rig and see what the source ports on your packets leaving your machine to Deepbit. The router shouldn't be messing with the source ports on the packets. Then I would put a dumb hub between your router and ISP device and see what the source ports are from packets leaving your network and compare with packets coming back from Deepbit to see if they've changed. That way you know for sure where the behavior is introduced. Sam |

It has been a long while since I logged into my mining account on BTC Guild ( www.btcguild.com). I tried and appraently used the wrong password. Ooops, no problem right? Wrong. The site says the IP adderss I was at is restricted for x number of seconds. Well, despit enow using the correct password, x keeps increasing each time I try to log in. Despite even giving it a rest for hours. It's a bit insane. As long as this website has been around, you'd think they would have a streamlined login and password reset feature. It's time to find another pool. Any suggestions on pools that are well designed for the user? Hmm, I think I would email the pool op or post a message the pools thread to find out what exactly the problem was? But that's just me I guess. If you change pools every time you have a problem with one you should be solo mining by now. Sam |

Is there an issue with the 24 hour earnings counter ? Mine seems to be dropping buy my total worker speed has been pretty much constant for the last 2-3 days Thanks, keep up the good work The difficulty went up significantly last night. So if it is just this last 24hrs that could be it. Sam |

I have good temps with water and wonder how I overclock more then AMD overdrive MAX values?
I use a program called CGMiner to do that. Sam yes I'm using cgminer but I can't get it overclock more then the AMD Overdrive limits. I'm on the latest 2.4.1 and windows 7 64bit. Sorry for my somewhat sarcastic response. I thought you were referring to the max limits that exist in the CCC program and that CG Miner can surpass. Sam |

I've increased my contribution percentage. When you get the NMC contribution separated then I'll set that to a 100% so let us know when that is done.
Thanks,
Sam

Solved by installing win7.
I would call that a work around as opposed to the solution. You have no idea what your original problem was so you may be doomed to repeat it. But I'm glad your up and running now. Happy hashing, Sam |

Forgive my ignorance please, but wasn't the last version 3.6?
The last version was 2.4.0 and before that was 2.3.6. Sam |

On Windoze XP I liked using Catalyst 11.6. Had to use dummy plugs on the GPU's that didn't have monitors though.

Every version of cgminer after I think 2.3.2 or 2.3.3 has crashed after a small amount of use.
Lost a good deal of money the last week using cgminer.
Confused as to why it just randomly exits with the newer versions?
Is there a new change I should be aware of that could possibly cause this with my settings?
With the overwhelming wealth of information you provided in your post I would have to say.... No. Sam |
