1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN][DRK] DarkCoin | First Anonymous Coin (DarkSend) | No Premine | Runs 30% cooler than scrypt on: March 04, 2014, 08:02:48 AM

Aha a missing step now I'm more hopeful.  I downloaded the sdk and I have the following files/folder in ADL_SDK_6.0:

ADL_SDK.html
adlutil
include
Public-Documents
Sample
Sample-Managed

What should I put where?

Just dump all the contents (even so only 4 or so files are needed, I just dump 'em all in there) from ADL_SDK_6.0 that you downloaded into the ADL_SDK folder in your sgminer folder Smiley  Let us know if that fixed it!

There was no ADL_SDK folder in my sgminer folder.  Are you referring to building from source or are you talking about just being able to run the sgminer downloaded darkcoin.io home page?  The sgminer downloaded from darkcoin.io already has an sgminer.exe so I assume it was already built.  These are the files in that download (darkcoin-sgminer-windows.zip):

example.bat
example_280X.bat
example_280X.conf
kernel/
libcurl.dll
libeay32.dll
libidn-11.dll
libpdcurses.dll
pthreadGC2.dll
README.md
sgminer.exe
ssleay32.dll
zlib1.dll

I did create an ADL_SDK folder anyway and put those files there but that didn't do anything.  Or am I completely missing the fact that I need to compile this myself? I was assuming that the windows download was a binary distribution

Eeek, I'm thinking Linux, so so so sorry!  Lets back up, what is wrong, what is your system and your video card?  And have you tried this version: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0

Using windows 7 64-bit, HD 5830, Catalyst 13.12 Driver.  I'm not crazy about downloading random executables so I wanted to use the gpu miner linked to on the darkcoin.io homepage (I was assuming this was more official).  However that seemed like an uphill battle to get it working.  I finally succumbed and downloaded the sph-sgminer from http://dark.suchpool.pw/.  It seems to be working well so far.

Trying to mine darkcoin on windows, getting a little frustrating...

I have 5830 (AMD Radeon HD 5800 Series) on windows 7 64-bit.  I downloaded sgminer from the darkcoin.io website.  Updated AMD Catalyst driver from 13.1 to 13.12 (but I also tried with 13.1 first before updating.  Here is my bat file:

Code:
set GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 
set GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
.\sgminer --kernel darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum1.example.com -u username -p password

(note I'm not really using stratum1.example.com) I'm getting the following error:

Code:
[08:36:44] Started sgminer 4.0.0

[08:37:32] Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram)
[08:37:32] Error compiling program for search.

Frontend phase failed compilation.
Error: Creating kernel search failed!

[08:37:32] Failed to init GPU thread 0, disabling device 0
[08:37:32] Restarting the GPU from the menu will not fix this.
[08:37:32] Try restarting sgminer.
Press enter to continue:
If I press enter and wait, the screen goes blank for a little and then:

Code:
[08:38:20] Probing for an alive pool
a couple more messages and then I get a windows dialog box that says:

sgminer.exe has stopped working. Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.

I've seen posts about upgrading to a beta 14.1 driver but I'd rather not do that if possible.  I've seen a couple people have had this issue any progress on this?

All is well so far, but you don't say if you downloaded the ADL_SDK?  Download that from AMD and put the contents (or replace same named file) in your sgminer folder and you *should* be good to go!

5  Other / Beginners & Help / Mhash rate lower when in display power saving? on: August 14, 2011, 09:01:26 AM
Using Windows 7 with GUIMiner.  I've set most of my power saving options to sleep "never".  However I still have "Turn off the display" set to 20 minutes and my computer also goes into locked mode.  When I wake up the display and immediately look at GUIMiner it shows the Mhash rate as around or below 200 Mhash/s.  Then within a few seconds it goes back up to it's normal 240 Mhash/s, where it stays if I am using my computer.

So now I'm wondering if I'm not getting my full hash rate when I leave my computer running and I'm not actively using it.  Are there some specific settings I should have in windows & power options or elsewhere to ensure I'm getting my full hash rate?  Is there a way to know what your hash rate is when your display is off?

7  Other / Beginners & Help / Re: Guiminer: Using adobe flash cuts hash rate? on: July 26, 2011, 08:47:52 PM
Thanks!  I can confirm right clicking on a flash video and choosing Settings... and then un-checking "Enable hardware acceleration" and then clicking close (and then possibly click a new video or refreshing the page) works.  Now my hashrate goes from 240 Mhash to 230 (rather than 110).
8  Other / Beginners & Help / Guiminer: Using adobe flash cuts hash rate? on: July 25, 2011, 09:29:39 PM
I noticed if I watch a flash video in either firefox or chrome it cuts my hash rate down from about 240 Mhash/s to 110 Mhash/s.  If I close the tab with flash in firefox my hash rate will go back up.  I can reproduce this behavior at will.  Is this normal?  Are there any work arounds?
