Am knowing not speaking American very well but not liking me speak Russian here. Thank you.
'priv-i-yet' I find it interesting having people posting in other languages occasionally. Either I can see what bits I can understand, or just have the browser translate, depending on my mood/the language at the time... There was an exchange in Chinese recently on the bfl forum which had some interesting opinion, although I am not sure of the significance of pumpkins!!! |

Well if you saying a variance of over 30% is normal then im lost, maybe a few % not 30%
joolz
Hi joolz, just speculating, of course! To get a real handle on it we'd probably need to find the standard deviation of the distribution, then we could comment on how likely it is for any particular result to be a particular percentage out, and indeed any particular *random* sample of results (rather than a selected group that catch our eye)... Looking at my 7-day moving average from the stats page, however, it's followed quite closely my increase in hash rate and the difficulty change of 30.04, although the last couple of days aren't there yet, so I'm not concerned (at the moment...) Doesn't preclude a temporary loss, of course. I did notice my cgminer report a missing connection briefly a few hours ago... |

lower payouts on 17826, 17827, 17829, 17844 and 17845.
The last 2 are about 30% lower than my normal?
joolz
The first 3 were a bit lower for me, the last two a bit higher. May just be normal variability with c=210 (as per those maths links posted a few pages ago...  ) Also I see pool hash rate now over 9100G - so I'm expecting lower payouts but more frequent payouts compared to a day or so ago when we were on low 8- something Ghash... (same daily payout on average until next diff change, of course). |

To all those who pointed out my guiminer problem was because I had all three miners pointed at the same gpu, you were right - I was
smart enough to set the GTX 480's up correctly but forgot to check the same when I cloned 2nd & 3rd gpu from my first 7870 miner.
guiminer connects to stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 ok, and all three are putting out 360+ MH/s.
I'm happy that you're getting 360+ MH/s on your Asus HD7870DC2-2GD5-V2 gpus. The Fedex dude was just here a couple of hours ago to deliver two of exactly the same cards that you have to replace a couple of mining-challenged Nvidia GPUs on an old gaming rig. I have come to the conclusion that generally, AMD cards that are moderately OC'd, usually hashes around 26% of the number of stream processors. So I figured that I would be getting around 265 MH/s (26% of 1024 stream processors) out of each of these cards. At what clock are you getting 360+ MH/s with, may I ask? 7850 - I got about 330MH/s - 1200Mhz 7870 - 430-450MH/s - 1215Mhz 7950 - 540MH/s - 1150Mhz 7950 - 520MH/s - 1100Mhz That's what I've been getting returned the 7850 now running two 7870, two 7950. Thanks...and please see "Edit" to my original post (eyes too slow, fingers too quick). Anyway, are those clocks sustainable? I imagine that you must be either in a cold region or in a very well-cooled data center. The only time I get up to such clocks is when I try to do a quick benchmark...and during winter...and then it dies. FWIW: I am running a 7870 and a 7970 in the same PC. They are running from guiminer with just -v -f0 and -w 128 or 256 flags, but I set the clock performance from Catalyst Control Centre. 7870 is giving 430MHash/s at 1170/1200 engine/mem, with fan set to 60% and power -5%. At engine 1200 it crashes fairly quickly. Runs at 66C, VRM1 at 71C 7970 is giving 645MHash/s at 1125/1000, 60% fan, -5% power. Runs at 67C, with VRM1 at 88C One side is off the computer, the PSU is sitting on top, and it's in the cellar where it's nice and cool. Plus we're about 700ft/210m above sea-level, in a rural so that's generally less warm all round!!!! |

Found with the hidden folders. However, I searched poclbm in the start menu, and I found poclbm.exe in there and thats what I deleted.
Maybe time for a quick visit to the Recycle Bin to restore it - it may be useful!!! |

That's what I meant. I deleted the program, and closed everything, and it still did not work. However, I go to my username on the computer folder, and I don't see any app data/ roaming folder, nor can I access it through command prompt, so what should I do then.
Errm, now I'm lost! If you didn't go to AppData/Roaming/poclbm - what did you delete? If you open a command prompt it puts you in C:/Users/YourUsername, so you should be able to do directly: cd appdata cd roaming cd poclbm and then a 'dir' should list the files, including poclbm. and a 'del poclbm' command should get rid of it. (Caveat - it is 'del' in windows isn't it, not 'rm'?) Addendum: Or as auseeker has jsut posted, show those hidden folders!!!! |

Search for file poclbm and delete. In windows, click start and type poclbm into search box. Delete and try running guiminer again  note: this will delete any mining info you've saved, so for slush, you'll need stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 and your log-in info. Good luck I just tried it, it didn't work. If you are on windows7, the file 'poclbm' is in the directory C:/Users/YourUsernameOnTheComputer/AppData/Roaming/poclbm. It contains the information saved using 'File, save settings' about your various workers as well as the window position when saved. You can delete the file (thereby losing the saved setups, but also getting rid of any strange window positioning), and this is a safer option that trying to edit the file directly! It's easy to setup the information again for Slush! Edit: assuming the window appears in a normal position when you restart it! Note: Use the 'close' option on any gui-miner icons in the righthand tray thingy as you don't want to be restoring the mystery missing instance of the program! End Edit |

Whoa that's some hot memory. Have you ran VRM at such temps for how long and/or before with other cards? Somehow this made me think that BBQ Coin should have had temperature as a factor to diff.  The 7970 has run pretty constantly for 5 days, the 7870 for 10+, with a few minor interruptions when I've decided to play with cgminer and options rather than let gui-miner run them. Not sure how long the 110C episode was - I normally check on the cards with GPU-Z a couple of times a day, and now especially after playing with cgminer because of the 110C event! Have both at -5% power from Catalyst options, but this didn't seem to affect hash rates, temperatures or voltages. |

Right-clicking on the task-bar icon hopefully gives three options - pause, restore and close. Restore should open it up for normal interaction. I'm on Slush's pool, and that option should be in the 'server' drop down box. This will put the relevant info into some of the boxes for you. Fill out your user.worker name e.g. psipower.worker1, and your password for that worker (which you have created in your account with Slush), select the relevant device - presumably your graphics card - and click 'start mining'. You may see it connect to api2.mining, but get transferred automatically to the stratum servers (more efficient, less fees). You can save this configuration using File, save settings. Then if you re-start the program anytime, you just need to click 'start mining'! Then it's time to play around with the other bits and find out what gives you the best rate!!!! I found setting a CPU affinity box improved my rate. You may find this helpful for various flags to improve your rate: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison |

1 x 7970 running about 645Mhash:
1125/1000
GPU 71 C
VRM1 94 C
VRM2 62 C
fan-speed 55%/2552rpm manual setting. Can drop the VRM to 88C with 60%. On auto fan, lets the VRM1 temp go to about 110C.
1 x 7870 running about 420Mhash:
1160/1200
GPU 69C
VRM 79C
fan is auto, running at 50%/2050rpm.

Occasionally, as rewards are confirmed and being processed from 'unconfirmed' to 'confirmed', they disappear for a short while from 'unconfirmed' (and therefore the total) before then appearing in 'confirmed' (and therefore the total). Seen this frequently!
Very occasionally, a block fails confirmation (invalid, orphaned?), and thus disappears from the 'unconfirmed' without obviously being added to the 'confirmed' a bit later. Seen this a couple of times!
