Long Poll IO Error

[slowpwl]

It seems I get this error and everything stops working.. Until I press stop mining and start mining -  the GUIminer resumes mining until I get the error again.  I cant check GUIminer every 2 hours to make sure it is running.

Does anyone know of a flag that says OK to this error message.. or reconnects the program ever so often? 

I use to get the error every 10min... Then I started using -v -w128 and it runs for about 2 hours until I get the error.. I am lost regarding what I should do, or what this error even means...

I have read other post talking about this error, but there program kept working.. My MHps goes to 0.0 when I get this error.

Thanks for any help.

What pool? Also, try CGMiner instead.

[slowpwl]

deepbits pool, I will try CGminer.. Thanks.

deepbits pool, I will try CGminer.. Thanks.

PS: You're getting shortcharged with the fees at Deepbit. Try other pools like MtRed, EMC, Ozcoin, etc that costs you way much less.

[slowpwl]

do you have a preference between mtred, ozcoin, EMC?

[slowpwl]

I went with EMC, since it has the highest hash rate

[slowpwl]

please correct me, Because I know I am wrong.. But from what I see..

EMC charges 10%?

[John (John K.)]

If you want PPS, go with mtred or ozcoin as both has low fees. (mtred 0%, ozcoin 3%).
If you want dgm, go with emc as its 0%.

When I was using GUIMiner I used the flags "-v" &"-w128"  Because I have a 5850 card.. Are there any good flags to use for CGMiner??  I had my Mhp/s up to 340... it down to 260 without flags.

Thanks for the help, I could probably do alot more digging, but I figure I would ask here.  /shame on me

going with =


--gpu-engine 880 --gpu-memclock 350 --auto-fan  --temp-target 81  -I 9




What does "-i 9" parameter control?


I dont think that list of -- stuff did anything... and I still dont know about vectors =(

The -i parameter controls the intensity of the mining speed. For maximum performance keep it at 10, but be warned that the computer would be laggy.
I used to overclock my 5850 to 875/300. My old cgminer.conf where I got almost 390 MH from it (I used Trixx to overclock):

hey john, does this site have kudos???  Ill give some if so.

Thanks for recommending this new miner, I am still working out the kinks with keeping my card stable but I ended up going with "-v 2" for best performance on my card (5850)..  

Ive been looking for a new pool, As I am a noob and found bitminter.. And from past experience I know the first thing I find is never the best!  I think I found it with EMC US3!!


Anyways just letting you know i figured it out,  And I reccomend you OC Afterburner and let this program mine..

Im running 875mhz core, 575 mem , 36 fan  on a 5850 and its stable at 330mhps  (afterburner settings)

CG settings:

Batch file with the following parameters:

-I 10 --vectors 2 --worksize 64



I will tweak this for best results later, need it stable overnight.

I will also have to try Trixx, Afterburner only lets me drop the mem clock to 575..  Thats after unlocking it from using factory.
