Hi, i would like to ask about Biostar TB85 that i have, and 6x Rx580 asus dual fan.After almost two weeks i cannot make it stable. It stucks sometimes when creating DAG file and other times after some hours mining with Gpu card hang and the system restarts or freezes.Default clocks.I tried rizers to other pc and they work fine.Tried different usb cables,Ethos,simpliming os, it seems randomized faults. Sometimes all 6 cards mining and after some minutes or hours some stopped. I even changed the battery of the motherboard to just try it.Plugged in the 2 molex power on the motherboard. I'm out of ideas. I'm fearing that the motherboard is faulty or something. I have another one plugged in 6x 1070 in Windows 7 and works almost flawlessly.
If you can help me i would appreciate it.
Thanks
Windows 10 pro, disabled everything
bios settings from a guide about mining
combined drivers
cpu 1840
psu corsair HX1200w
I've got the TB85 with 6x Furys, it took me forever to get it stable, and to tell you the truth it's not even that stable now. I've got a cron job rebooting it every six hours because it likes to just lock up even with a watchdog script running. What are you BIOS settings? I used this guide https://blockoperations.com/configuring-bios-settings-gpu-mining-intel-motherboards/ but the three settings that you need to set are: - PCI Latency timer to 96 PCI Bus clocks
- Set all 6 PCIe slots to GEN2
- Its overkill, but I set the PCIEX_16_1 - Gen X setting to GEN 2 as well (its supposed to set all 6 other PCIe slots to GEN2
Hard resets end up resetting my BIOS settings so having the reboot cron job helped eliminate that. |

Did you check the PCI latency? Needs to be set at 96. Check this out, might help with the BIOS settings: https://blockoperations.com/configuring-bios-settings-gpu-mining-intel-motherboards/I just built my rig about a month ago with that board and it's given me all sorts of headaches. I've had the system lock up and the BIOS settings reset. Reset CMOS, replaced the battery, and still happens on occasion on hard reboots. When the system shuts down properly it's no problem, but when one or more cards become unresponsive, it can hard lock up. I'm using Claymore's miner and uses the flag to reboot when there's issues with a GPU but it will still lock up on occasion. |

Hey guys, this might be a techincal question, but I cannot copy over minerd.exe to my compter, it is automatically cleansed.
All antivirus programs are removed and registry wiped.
What do you mean by automatically cleansed? Like automatically quarantined and deleted? You'll need to make an exception rule in your A/V or anti-malware application for it. The reason this happens is some malware will bundle the miner in with it so botnets can mine and make money. |

Some issues I see with DRK. tl;dr at bottom
Assuming the coin anonymity feature stands the test of time, most people are still showing their hand in other ways. Just by posting on this forum for instance. Eventually someone will be brought up on charges by the IRS of tax evasion because the government has a backdoor to everything.
If people are giving information around, how is this a problem for DRK in particular? If you want to remain anonymous when doing something, then you have to take all-around measures, not just use an anonymous currency. That's a mindset. Then there is the issue of mining. Everyone knows the mining kernel is not optimized and some people have private miners that do 50% to 300% better than stock. This is MUCH worse than the "random" rewards problem with DOGE that were not random at all. People would refuse to mine random rewards coins yet this is many times the magnitude of that problem. Here is a miner that does 40% better than stock:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=616786.0Yeah he is in violation of the GPL but he has 30 days to comply in which time he will rack up quite the stash since he is skimming 2% of the hash. And this is the public version. Private versions go much further. There are no private miners 300% over stock, unless you are referring to the experimental nvidia miner - but nvidia is already scaling very well with 750ti / 780ti cards which already multiplies the hashpower of AMD. Besides even if there are, say, 10-20-30 guys with uber-evolved miners, their GPU count is too low in the sum of nethash. I'd be more concerned with ASICs raping Scrypt. That's unfairness (in the sense that the companies already are mining with huge ASIC farms) while most individuals are doing GPU-only. Also, if you read the thread, people are reporting higher reject rates and no changes in hashrates on the actual pool. The miner is just reporting higher hashrates, but nothing is showing up on the pool side. No increase in temps, no increase in power consumption, and no increase in hashrate on the pool? And there's a 2% fee? Yeah, no. |

Hey guys, I could use some help. I'm currently mining with some 280xs and 7970s, but I'm not getting close to the 2-2.2Mhs people are talking about. I'm getting about 1.79Mhs. I've tried it on a few systems and I've messed with my bat file to no avail.
timeout /t 30
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
sgminer -k darkcoin -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 -o stratum+tcp://stratum2.suchpool.pw:3335 -u 1 -p 1
I've tried changing to g 1 and a higher intensity, w 256, shaders 2048, I tried different pools, nothing seems to make it budge. I turned up the OC from 1040/1500 to 1080, but that only made it move about 40... about as much as it does when I mine scrypt. The above settings work fine when I'm mining scrypt as well and they seem to be what everyone else is using. I'm also using the latest version of sph-sgminer from: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=475795.0;allI really don't know what else to try. What brand? I have 280x Vapor-x's ... my mind flew out the window when I started up'ing -I ... I-19 on pools and I-18 on p2pool. w-128 Completely different settings than scrypt. I have a few different ones, but that's on a Asus. I'm experimenting with -g 1 and -I 22, which seems to be all I can do before it locks up, but it's better. I'll try the -w 128. It seems a lot of the 'tweaked' settings I've seen use normal scrypt settings for some reason. Look at my post on April 14th (page 716 I believe), I put my 280x config up there. Hums nicely at 2.3mh. Apologies for not reposting, im on mobile. |

Bringing up an point I haven't seen discussed before...
DRK's "ASIC resistance."
Pretty much any maths will be ASICable. I think the real resistance is in the difficulty increases. ASICs will still be possible, but at the rate DRK increases difficulty, huge, exclusionary prices will never make sense. If/when DRK reaches penetration like BTC and LTC, where it makes sense for someone to try making an ASIC for it, they'll have no choice but to keep it affordable due to the diff and it won't consolidate as much as the other cryptos.
Can someone offer more thoughts on this? Maybe it's already been discussed and I just missed it in this deep thread...
This has actually already been discussed a bunch, but I don't blame you for not digging through 800 pages. IMO, ASICs are inevitable if X11 gets popular enough that companies are willing to invest in it. eduffield (the dev) said he is actually expecting ASICs in 2-3 years time to stabilize the network, it's just "ASIC resistant" now because there are no ASIC companies investing in X11. X11 does nothing to purposely obfuscate how ASICs can be developed for it (as opposed to scrypt-n). |

Hi All,
First post and apologies if this has already been covered. I was hoping someone could help me get to a good config for mining darkcoin.
I currently have a HIS R9 280X IceQ X2 and a Sapphire R9 280X Dual-X running on BAMT 1.6 using sgminer-sph 4.1.0. The cards combined are hashing at best at 3.2MHS and undervolted to 1.100 does this sound about right?
If anyone can advise whether I could get a better hash rate on these cards and whether they have undervolted the cards I would appreciate it.
Mark
I have two R9 280x's running in my rig @ 4.6mh (2.3mh/per card). I undervolted my cards for scrypt but it wasn't necessary for X11 for me at least, the power savings was in the 40% range already. Here is my sgminer-sph.conf: {
"pools": [
{
"poolname" : "P2Pool",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://cryptohasher.net:7903",

}
EDIT: One other thing, my cards never get above 60C and fans run at 40% (1900rpm). Thanks very much for those settings now hashing away nicely at 4.6mhs. Its appreciated, let me know your wallet address I'll send some coin over. No problem at all, no coins needed. If anything, direct them to the Darkcoin bounties that LimLims has put together: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=421615.msg5780031#msg5780031 |

For the guy/gal that is mining on the P2Pool node cryptohasher.net, you've entered the wrong Darkcoin address:
Xm4sVvgCf7ENSyT4FJcLeo2oJpcwFaBAYwinvalid_address_0
They've got about 4.5mh so there's losing lots of coins the longer they keep the invalid address. I'm not sure how'd you contact the miner but all I gotta say is damn. Hope they see this post.
Xm4sVvgCf7ENSyT4FJcLeo2oJpcwFaBAYw.0 "." is replaced to "invalid_address_" at frontend web. http://cryptohasher.net:7903/static/classic/graphs.html?Day No Share LOL.. Ahh makes more sense, n00bnoxious mentioned this as well. Sucks because its been like that for a few hours, I'll bet they set their miner and walked away. |

I'm rather new here, but what is the status on KGW for Darkcoin?
I'm reading that its vulnerable to a time-warp exploit and allows for someone to execute a 51% attack with much less than 51% of the network. The Digibyte devs successfully mitigated that exploit with a modified version of KGW and the Doge devs are implementing something similar as well. Any way that Dark can leverage those two implementations?
Is this anything that Darkcoin should be worried about?
