GUIMiner-scrypt: A GUIMiner fork for mining scrypt chains

[FTL_Ian]

I am a noob at mining.

Currently running reaper on a Radeon 5500 series and getting 44Kh/s
using default settings for a 5750:
Thread Concurrency: 3200
Worksize: 256
Vectors: 1
Intensity: 12
GPU threads: 1

Currently have 58 accepted / 14 stale.

Is that a typical accepted:stale ratio?


Thanks in advance for your input! 

Now at 92:29

What is to be expected regarding accepted:stale ratio?   What is your experience?

That's a high number of stales.  You can try stratum (unless you're already using it) or increasing thread_concurrency to 4000.

[FTL_Ian]

I don't think stratum works with the server and it is apparently not an option with the reaper.  However I will try the 4,000 setting, thanks!

Im getting OK kh/s reported from a refurbed 7950 (around 500 khs) but my pool doesnt seem to be accepting many/any shares?

Ive tried with stock and OC core/mem and various intensities, does this mean the card is no good for LTC or some other issue with cgminer?

[tacotime]

Which pool?  Notroll.in still accepts shares even if your credentials are invalid, so try another pool first maybe

[papamoi]

it seems reaped needed to build built for windows

is there any easy to use ltc miner for windows and nvidia?

Im on coinotron. The same system has a 6950 in it and its getting shares accepted - no problems... Tried with and w/out Stratum selected for the 7950 in GUIminer scrypt alpha. Tried using reaper as well as cgminer, but it seems reaper never starts. Could 4gb system memory be an issue with these two cards on Win7 x64?

I tried setx MAX_GPU_ALOC_PERCENT 100 and its said its saved succesfully but this didnt help.

Can anyone help me figure out ideal settings for my 6310m gpu (I know it's a laptop..blah, blah, blah, etc..) http://www.amd.com/us/products/notebook/graphics/amd-radeon-6000m/amd-radeon-6300m/pages/amd-radeon-6300m.aspx#2  

Also, can you install default settings for a 5830 tacotime?

It looks like something is broken with cgminer 2.11.3

Try going into your guiminer folder, then into the "reaper-yourminername" folder and running reaper.exe, and then let me know what the output is from the console.

hey tacotime i really appreciate your fork it's helped me out alot. thanks for all your time and effort. i only have one problem. i can crank the intensity all the way up to 20 and it says my hash rate continues to climb all the way up to 20, but i can't tell if i'm getting any hardware errors or not. is there any way in guiminer to see if you are getting any hardware errors? or maybe this would be a nice feature you could add in the future. i'm using a 6870 and a 6970 and getting 321kh/s and 460kh/s respectively with cgminer. when i check my hash rate on the mining pool it jumps around alot it can go 100kh/s + or - my hash rate in guiminer. so it's hard to tell if there are any hardware errors from that or if i'm getting the fully stated hash rate.

Hi, I may add it in the future, it's nice to see if you can see HW errors.  Usually with 6xxx cards the settings I show throw few errors though, but sometimes setting at 20 can cause more than setting at 18 or 19

they work with reaper, although you'll need to figure out a configuration for them on your own.

I can't get mine to work. I have two gtx 460's. I have a couple tabs in the guiminer. one for cgminer cpu, reaper gpu0, cg gpu0, and cg gpu1. I have 3 workers on coinotron.
For the cpu one I did all the same as the guide, but it just says connecting with no shares.
reaper with gpu0 says 0kh/s connecting and cannot connect to server.
cgminer for gpu1 says connecting with no shares.

am I missing something? I tried different threads, concurrency, worksize, intensity. all the host are cointron.com, all port are 3334.

advice please?

You need to install CUDA toolkit for it to compile kernel

Thanks! I have never heard of this. I will try it tonight. wanna snag some litecoins while im in the process of buying hardware for a dedicated rig.

hi tacotime

can you describe the steps we should process for win+nvidia because i ve tried many things but no success

[nostradamus]

None of the spammy download mirrors are working for me. IS there a better download link?

[tacotime]

The mega mirror is adfree and works fine (mirror 2)

Mega throwing this:
SECURITY_ERR in RequestFileSystem

EDIT: Worked in IE, not in Chrome for me.

[tacotime]

It will throw an error if you have certain security settings on, eg incognito mode or no cookie storage

Thank you so much for writing this, TacoTime. I built my first rig after your Noob instructions thread, named it TacoMiner.

Well, TacoMiner is running now at 561 K/hs, which is nice but it seems like only one of the 3 7950's is working.

How do I turn the other 2 on ?

The first LTC I mine will go to you
