I just set my little mining rig back up after a year of downtime.  I'm having some strange trouble making progress, though.  It's a Debian Wheezy box and OpenCL is running properly; poclbm and cgminer both report ~175Mh/s from my 5750.  But I never seem to register any shares, which strikes me as odd.  I've tried both poclbm and cgminer on both Slush and Eligius; both times, the miner ran for a couple hours and I scored nothing.  Does anyone have any idea what I might be doing wrong?  Everything seems fine, except that the shares are neither accepted nor rejected.  Please see the following output from cgminer for an example:

Code:
[2013-02-05 13:37:39] (5s):187.8M (avg):178.2Mh/s | Q:23  A:0  R:0  HW:0  E:0%  U:0.0/m

That line is after about 20 minutes of runtime.  Does anyone have any thoughts?

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

Did you checked the shares on the pool website? Check your worker there

I did check both pools' websites; I my worker showed no shares completed.  Sad

I was using the AMD APP SDK v2.1 to do my mining.  I tried upgrading to v2.4.  Unfortunately, cgminer built on this machine under v2.4 produced a segmentation fault; poclbm, meanwhile, kept claiming that PyOpenCL was not available (despite the fact that it was fine before).  By happenstance in mucking about with the environment variables, I accidentally got things running... but it's not pretty.  cgminer still won't work, but poclbm will run if I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the v2.1 SDK but set the ATISTREAMSDKROOT to the v2.4 SDK.  I'm not sure why this strange hybrid environment is working, but it is.  Unfortunately, it's working at a reduced hashing speed: 167MH/s instead of 175MH/s.  I'll live with that for now.

Also, cgminer was behaving strangely; I tried to use "-k" to set the kernel but it ignored that flag and went with phatk (which it then complained about because it seemed to think I was running SDK v2.6, which I hadn't even downloaded).  Fun times.  :-P
