Now that one is a driver crash. Nothing to do with cgminer directly. It even caused a linux kernel warning about a prolonged soft lockup. Perhaps try a new kernel ati driver and ati sdk.
ckolivas, the thing that baffles me is that this does not happen if I use the other available miners, even DiabloMiner, which is a single-miner multi-GPUs kind of miner goes without problems. my kernel driver is SDK 2.4 and Catalyst 11.6, which I think, under linux, are the latest available. anyway, as soon as I have some more spare time I'll try to setup a USB key with a standard linux distribution (not linuxcoin) and I'll try again. thanks a lot. spiccioli. |

Hi all,
I set up bitHopper yesterday, to see what I can gain from its use, but then, looking inside user.cfg I saw that a lot of proportional pools ( I looked at three or four of them in the hoppable section ), apart from mtRed, are very small pools, so I fear that variance could kill in that pools.
Apart from mtRed, what pool has at least 100Gh of hashing capacity? Or, are you using such small pools without being affected by variance, maybe because you're hopping?
spiccioli
quick reply - go to pools section of forum, check off the available pools against hashrate. organofcorti, I did even better, I went to their home page were I found out about the speed, now, to be clear, I have nothing against slow pools and even fast ones were slow when they started. I was questioning pool-hopping if the only hoppable pools are slow ones. I was asking myself and this forum, is hopping very slow pools ( there is a pool which has 2 GH of capacity, so it is slower than my three righs together ) still giving some real advantage? Isn't it, in the end, like going solo? best regards. spiccioli. |

ckolivas, I was running it with I've started it again without any parameter, it has lost a few MH/s but it has been running for enarly 20 minutes as I'm writing this... Let's see if it was just a too high intensity. thanks. spiccioli No, died again. cgminer version 1.5.6 - Started: [2011-08-17 11:35:55]

Don't know if this gives any hint, now GPU0 is marked dead and GPU1 is still mining. spiccioli. |

The new kernel works things -even harder- so if you were getting sick GPUs before, you still will now. The difference is it should recover by itself. If you get sick GPUs all the time, I suggest dropping the intensity down till you find where they stop being sick.
ckolivas, I was running it with I've started it again without any parameter, it has lost a few MH/s but it has been running for enarly 20 minutes as I'm writing this... Let's see if it was just a too high intensity. thanks. spiccioli |

You know, this actually could be a problem with Linuxcoin. It is still a beta after all. You may want to try using another Linux distro on your USB and see if the problem persists. If it doesn't, we may need to take a look at the repository of Linuxcoin and see which dependency is causing the issue before a work-around can be cooked-up.

they are so empty because of pool hopping. you cant pool hop and expect to have no downside ..
wtfman, it is a big downside. hopping promises me a few % more in gains but then I have to hop pools that find a block in a month or more... well, maybe I'd better be going solo than hopping.  spiccioli. |

Hi all,
I set up bitHopper yesterday, to see what I can gain from its use, but then, looking inside user.cfg I saw that a lot of proportional pools ( I looked at three or four of them in the hoppable section ), apart from mtRed, are very small pools, so I fear that variance could kill in that pools.
Apart from mtRed, what pool has at least 100Gh of hashing capacity? Or, are you using such small pools without being affected by variance, maybe because you're hopping?

ckolivas,
sorry to report that on my system 1.5.6 declares my GPUs (a 5850 and a 5870) sick after a few minutes of work just as 1.5.3 did.
I'm on a linuxcoin 0.2a system booting from a USB key (with persistence), I don't think I have hardware problems since different miners work without problems.
best regards.
spiccioli.

Hi DiabloD3,
I'm testing latest version, zip file downloaded yesterday (on a linux coin pc), with a three pools config: mineco.in, slush and btcguild.
I've found that sometimes one or even two pools get 'discarded' and from there on it only mines on the remaining one(s).
Is this by design or something to correct?
TIA
spiccioli.
Its by design. Anytime a pool fails to connect during a getwork, that execution thread rotates to the next pool. Which pools execution threads are set to on startup is randomly selected. The client will generally gravitate towards the most stable pool. Ok, I see the logic, but is there a way to force it to try again (after some time) a pool which gives an error (apart from restarting the program)? spiccioli No. Although I've been considering having it change pools after a semi-random timeout, but you risk being sent back to the unstable pool. It really doesn't matter what pool you mine on as long as you're mining, honestly. You'll eventually get the payouts, it just takes a little longer. DiabloD3, Ok, but if this stable pool becomes unreacheable (for example) does your miner move back to one of the previous less-stable pools or stops there waiting for it to become alive again? Sorry to bother, just to understand its logic. TIA spiccioli |

In keeping up with this thread, I have seen two or three posts saying that shares/minute is a better indicator of performance than MHash/second. However, I don't understand this argument.
I understand that higher MHash/s doesn't do any good if the GPU is unstable and shares aren't found or shares are rejected, but assuming a person keeps the GPU stable, doesn't the shares/minute vary with luck and difficulty while the MHash/s is what is actually being processed (regardless of luck and difficulty)?
IOW, when a person goes from 310 MHash/s to 320 MHash/s and shares/minute drops from 4.15 to 4.10, it seems logical to me to assume that the 320 MHash/s is better and the change in shares/minute is luck/difficulty related (at least assuming when comparing two relatively short runs [less than a day for sure, a couple days? I'm not sure]).
I'm not saying I don't believe shares/minute is a good thing to pay attention to as well, though. Obviously if the same scenario involved going from 280 MHash/s to 330 MHash/s and suddenly getting 3 shares/minute instead of 4 shares/minute an issue with the miner or stability would be indicated.
That said, am I misinterpreting something, or is the suggestion that shares/minute is more important than MHash/s oversimplified?
The reason for taking shares/min into account rather than just MHash/s is because MHash/s is only part of the equation. You have to take into account accuracy and efficiency. You can compute hashes all day, but unless you're computing the right ones it's not going to do you any good. So cgminer found a way to still maintain a decent hashing speed while also making sure that the hashes it computes are actually worth a darn. See the full picture? Sorry, but I don't see the full picture What does it means when you say: "while also making sure that the hashes it computes are actually worth a darn"? The shares it computes depends on the work the pool sent you (if you're in a pool), so they should be the same even using a different miner, or am I wrong? spiccioli. |

Yes, I'm persistent. I've found that with a -g 1 it does not happen anymore (it's been running for half a hour now), but I loose a couple Mh/s. spiccioli. ps. I had to install curl since it's not installed in linuxcoin by default. Do you have linuxcoin final? Everything should just work with it. [/quote] No, I'm sticking with v0.2b, since it's working ok for me and I don't need all the network boot stuff. spiccioli. |

BTW, cgminer found 128 as optimal worksize, but using -w 256 gives me 3-5Mh/s more juice, steady So now I'm forcing it to -w 256 ( and -g 1 -I 8 -w 256 -Q 2 ). It is running at 361 on my 880/270 5850 and 444 on my 980/280 5870 spiccioli. |

Hi ckolivas, today I decided to give your miner a try, it has so many features that I could not resist anymore Sadly, after a couple of minutes both GPUs in my rig ( a 5850 and a 5870 on a linuxcoin v0.2b system) are declared SICK and then DEAD. This is without any fancy parameters, just -o -u -p and -I 8 (it is a dedicated rig) and -Q 2 to have a little more buffer (so I thought). Is there some other parameter I can try? spiccioli ps. my rig is running since june with phoenix and poclmb without problems, so I don't think this is due to hardware/OS issues. ckolivas is on a two week vacation. Are you running persistent? I had the same problem before I starting running in persistent mode with a r/w file. Yes, I'm persistent. I've found that with a -g 1 it does not happen anymore (it's been running for half a hour now), but I loose a couple Mh/s. spiccioli. ps. I had to install curl since it's not installed in linuxcoin by default. |

Down to 6GH/s, miners connect and give a RPC upstream error and then sit idle  |

The 'problem' is, IMHO, that people tend to spend what they did previously earn.
Right now mining is the easiest way to earn bitcoins, but given current difficulty only very early miners have enough bitcoins to spend (a lot of them just sells bitcoins for some currency to pay for their rigs).
A real economy needs an offer of some kind of work which pays you in BTC because, right now, converting a currency into BTC just to buy things in BTC has no real advantage you're better off buying things in your currency (less hassle).

JackOfDiamonds,
btcguild is PPS and has not a fixed fee, so it should be the best one for casual and not so casual miners, did you look into it?
