Hey guys,

I have just set up my miner for ethereum on windows 7.

I use catalyst 14.4 and qtminer.

qtminer started and successfully created the DAG files - now it seems like it is mining - but GPU-Z shows me 0 % GPU load for every card.
And the miningpool also shows no shares.

What's going wrong here?

Once a transaction has 6 confirmations, it is extremely unlikely that an attacker without at least 50% of the network's computation power would be able to reverse it.

I already solved the problem.

When I started it it told me that it can't find a gpu with enough memory.
I deleted the -G argument... that's why it used my CPU and not the GPU's.

Usually it should work... I don't know what's the problem anymore.

I use 2 HD 6970 and 2 HD 6990.

And I set max alloc to 100% ... and still can't create the DAG..

I use
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

but  u can try also
setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Do you use QtMiner or Ethminer?

I inserted all the arguments that you mentioned and still get " No GPU device with sufficient memory was found. Can't GPU mine. Remove the -G argument"

Maybe I'll try Ethminer. But I don't know how to start it. What do I need?
The ethminer.exe and do I need a proxy or something?

If it doesn't help
As I see first u have to create dag file ?
Next step u have to check other drivers for example
http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-catalyst-14-7-rc3-%2814-200-1004-august-11%29-download.html

proxy depend on pool you are mining now id doesn't matter

Several people told me 14.4 is the only driver that works for my cards.

I have the ethminer.exe now. But how to start it? with a Batch or with commandline?
I mine on http://ethpool.org/ which requires a proxy - but I don't know how to set it up.

It could take up to 1-2 minutes to establish connection between the pool and the miner (DDOS-protection).

During this period you can get JSON-RPC problem messages in the console. It`s OK.

or try EU pool

ethminer.exe -F http://eu1.nanopool.org:8888/0x72_YOUR ADDRESS -G -t 4

Not sure where you get ethminer from
I have from here
https://build.ethdev.com/builds/Windows%20C%2B%2B%20develop%20branch/Ethereum-win64-latest.exe
Just install in some folder on deskop
Inside u will find ethminer

edit
When u start install just mark "Add Ethereum to the system PATH for all users"

I installed the official ethminer now and started it with your data - but it can't connect to the server.. don't ask me why. I tried both. The us and the eu one.

ethminer
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
ethminer.exe -F http://eu1.nanopool.org:8888/0x72_0xD5B1C0b4a418F512D37645F57c0Cba6D44bAdaA0 -G -t 4

0x72_0xD5B1C0b4a418F512D37645F57c0Cba6D44bAdaA0 isn't your adress, it's 0xD5B1C0b4a418F512D37645F57c0Cba6D44bAdaA0. So just remove the red part and it should be working...

try dwarf as a pool, for the dag try to delete the old dag and restart the system, and see if the cpu usage is at 100%

ethminer doesn't run even if I delete the adresspart. It can't connect. json rpc error.

The claymore miner reqires 7XXX or 2XX or 3XX cards. And catalyst 15.12.

Hey guys,

here is a step-by-step tutorial for solo-mining with ethminer: http://etherbasics.com/tutorials/ethereum-mining-solo-tutorial.html

and a step-by-step tutorial for pool-mining with stratum proxy: http://etherbasics.com/tutorials/ethereum-mining-pool-tutorial.html

http://www2.pic-upload.de/img/30637114/Unbenannt.png

Not long because some cards don't work and therefore watchdog stops the miner. Add "-wd 0" to your command line to ignore failed cards as I told you already:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1433925.msg14837013#msg14837013
Then when you confirm that it works, use "-di" option to select working cards and you can use non-working cards to mine something else if you cannot make all cards work.
Have you tried it? It seems no, instead you created several threads to discuss your problem.

Please read Readme and FAQ in the first post of this thread before asking any questions, probably the answer is already there.

I love you Cheesy

Sorry for not following your instructions earlier.

It seems like it is working like that with -wd 0.

As far as I can see GPU #2 does not work.

Do I need to do anything else or can I just run it like this?




EDIT:

GPU #2 just started to mine.
So all 6 GPU's running like that Smiley
