My wallet is showing I am at block 88,389 (and synced).

Looking above it seems I am stuck behind.

Bugreport for Neoscrypt. Running 5 970s on the same system causes it to spit out "Cuda error in func 'scanhash-neoscrypt' at line 67 : out of memory."

Limiting it to any 4 devices with -d eliminates the problem. Tried running separate instances with different devices, doesn't work. System memory is fine. DJM's miner has the same problem.
you need more memory... or pagefile... (which is required to allocate that memory to the gpu...)
alternatively you can lower the intensity, that should free up some memory
other alternative, try to start 1 or 2 ccminer session

As mentioned running more then one instance does not fix this, system memory is fine. It doesn't get maxed out or anywhere close to it while monitoring it. I'll throw some more memory into the system and see what happens though. Currently it's at 4GB.

Haven't tried a lower intensity, this seems more like a bug then anything if that's the case.

Memory is not necessary, pagefile will most likely work. I have 14GB (!) of pagefile on my rigs because I think there was a cudaminer algo that only ran if I had tons of pagefile but it never used more than a few megabytes.
Same goes for sgminer to a certain degree, although I was never able to run it with more than 4 cards enabled.


I will try a bigger pagefile. The pagefile sits at the smallest possible size when the miner is in use and starting up, just like memory. I don't know why this will fix it. My current pagefile already maxes out at 8192, but sits at 1024.

In order to run 5 AMD cards you need to be on W8.1. W7 only allows 4. 6 cards requires a lot of hacking about to make it work no matter what.

I am no pro by any means but I had one rig with 5 AMD cards and had no issues with it at all on Windows 7.

I just didn't like having to change core or memory clocks for different algo's. Became to much of a job. Now that one is just down to a 280x and just waiting to see what the new 300 series does.

@ bensam1231

Just a thought.

This is sp_'s thread about his miner. If you have an issue with other devs (which I don't understand your beef. You don't like it go code or don't use said dev's miner) you should pm or start another thread.

This is starting to clog up this thread with your personal issue.

Unless you are using AMD cards (which they have their own thread) There is no need to call out wolf0 as he is not dev'ing for Nvidia (this thread). I don't get why you are even attempting to start issues with him. He as every right as you do to make a living however he chooses.

So please, enough with it in this thread.

PS. To myagui's point on the fee based miners. I still think it is a good idea. I understand someone might come along and try and reverse engineer it but I think enough people might still respect the dev to still use it. Rumor was claymore did pretty good with his. Even though someone took his fee out I still used claymore's out of respect for what he did.

Not sure how many people used djm's (I believe he had the one for one coin) as I never heard how well it went with it.

Enough of my rant and back to topic.

OK. What the fork just happened?

Is version 1.0.0.1-g32a928e still the correct version? No way I should be getting the amount of blocks that I am right now.

The current win wallet version is v1.0.0.1-g32a928e.  The current mac wallet is version v1.0.0.2-g32a928e (has updated GUI).  The frequency that you stake also depends on how many coins you have in your wallet and the current difficulty.

Just seems strange.

I only had about 1.2 million, maybe. All of a sudden I have about 50 stakes today and they are confirming.

You are killing the coin by keep decreasing the amount to block finders.

18.75 is way too low considering the amount going everywhere else. For me you are no incentive to continue mining as I see a majority of the block going to non miners.

This coin is slowly becoming a way for those who have more to keep getting a bigger part of the pie.

And please don't say if I want a BN I should invest BTC to get one. There are some of us that still like to mine and build up what we earn but unfortunately it looks to be going the other way now.

Eh? The block reward may decrease per block but there will be more frequent blocks, plus the current 5 + 5 BCR each block will go, so bidders will actually get more compared to what miners get now.

And since bidding is likely to work out cheaper than mining (for those who don't get free electricity) anyone who wants to can acquire more, more cheaply, more easily. What's being discussed will improve distribution accessibility, not limit it.

It's PoW that's limiting and exclusionary to the 99.9999999999% of the world's population that can't afford the hardware and the running costs of PoW, and don't have and never will have the know how anyway.

But again. You are taking the miners out of the equation. Sorry limiting us.

Free electricity or not (and I am not free).

I don't understand why you would insist on spending money in a futile mining attempt that will get you less reward than what we have proposed.  Mining PoW competitively is wasteful because all the money you are pouring into a power company and hardware could have been used to develop BCR further and do stuff like get us on more exchanges, marketing etc.... everything we do is to develop the most robust and effecient system possible, cutting away anything that disadvantages the users.

You as a miner are running a loss making operation trying to compete with other miners to get rewarded a small amount of BCR. You then in turn immediately drop it on the exchange because you will be trying to cover your costs. The price goes lower and you operation becomes even less profitable, you are stuck in a loop that is slowly shrinking and soon if we don't act it becomes a noose around the entire projects' neck.

We are making it easier to secure the network while removing the concept of competitive mining and rewards in favor of a project supportive approach.

One could argue that sometimes it is harder to get your hands on BTC, but that is exactly why we will allow bidding in as many currencies as we can. This means that we have 1) removed a resource/value leakage problem and 2) we now siphon value off other currencies in favor of our own.

Again. Regardless of what I am paying for electricity this is what I like to do call it a hobby (my last hobby cost me 3 times as much per month as mining and I am not mining at a loss).

You are taking what some people are/or have been doing and lumping everyone into one group. As for your mining and selling to cover cost I have been mining since late Dec of 2014 and have not sold one coin but looking as to the direction this is going it is not worth the time or effort to mine any more.

More than likely using multiple rigs or even renting rigs and just mining into the one BTC address.

Lazy..

The windows builds produce more hash, and use less power. You can get 100% more  profit if you switch to windows.

reason why I'm not buying nvidia: amd drivers for linux are bad but the situation with nvidia is even worse.
another reason is I wanna see the r9 3XX in action before buying for the winter.

Take it as a rumor for now but the only cards probably worth it will be the top of the line 3xx.

15 BNs == 3750000 off market. Plus the lost ~ 1200000 that totals almost 5 million off market.

5 + 6 ==11 that means only 4 million is in circulation now.

What is the lost 1.2 million coins?

@ Thirtybird

Don't laugh at me. I get bored (and sometimes I am dangerous).

I am playing with Windows 10 and trying a 750ti with your miner. Long story short, new Nvidia driver supports OpenCL so I am playing with it to see if this will work.

When running the miner I have just a basic setting, besides the nfMin = 4 nfMax = 30 nTimeStamp = 1388949883, I just run the -I and change it higher until I get a HW error.

It does find the card and mines but it does not connect to the pool. The miner shows it and running but the pool does not show the miner active and I do not get hash rate at the pool.

Is there some setting I might try that might be specific.

Again, I am just experimenting to kill time and see if it works.

EDIT: Under Windows 7 with the exact same bat and Nvidia driver it does not find the card. Says no OpenCL device found or something like that.


Is it possible that it just was minign so slow that it never found any shares for submitting?  I seem to remember something about the nVidia cards supporting OpenCL (Even from the beginning), but they were horribly slow at it.  Post a screenshot of the thing mining?  That will show connection status and mining speeds and the like


 Here is a screen shot but something I did not notice until I put the log in the bat (thanks Wolf0). The miner shows that it is at a N-Factor 17 but here is my exact bat that I run for N-Factor 16:

yacminer --scrypt-chacha --nfmin 4 --nfmax 30 --starttime 1388949883 -d 1 -o stratum+tcp://pool:port -O xxxxxxx:x -D -l 5





That's kind of interesting.  If you look at the pool line it is showing "diff 2 NF 16" but your debug output shows NFactor 17.  My miner on my system (that I know submits shares) actually shows "Nfactor: 17" in the debug output too, so that's likely inaccurate, or based on 2^NF instead of the scrypt-chacha funky math of 2^(NF+1) or something like that - it's been a while, but it's always been confusing (thanks pocopoco!).  I think you've got it working, but at that hash rate, you're likely not submitting shares, or are hitting HW errors instead of accepted shares.  

Since you did not specify buffer_size or lookup gap on the command line, the default values are going to pick ~90% of the GPU VRam it can see and a lookup-gap of 4, which is not ideal for NF=16, and is probably giving you HW errors.  What buffer size does it tell you it's allocating for the card when it starts up?  (likely need to turn debug off first)

You are correct on the look-up gap of 4 and the buffer is being set at 448. After a while of mining I do get a HW error.

If I change the starttime I get a high hash rate but all rejects.
