GUIMiner-scrypt: A GUIMiner fork for mining scrypt chains

[forzendiablo]

cgiminer.exe -w invalid value passed to set work

[Amph]

trojan reported from avira

i still get the problem of low hash rate with cgminer..

[TheAce]

i'm mining feathhercoins with this miner and today about 4 times gpu stoped mining and all values at afterburner droped to 0 .. strange is that temperature also.. after few seconds temperature jumped up and after that everything started to work again..  
miner reported problem with conecting to pool.
so i want to ask if some of you had same problem somtime?
can this be a problem with afterburner?
which version you use?

[HellDiverUK]

Started running this program, and it doesn't seem to want to mine for more than about an hour at a time.  The program still says it's mining, but doesn't actually send or receive any work to my proxy, or to the pool.

Nice idea, but I think I'll shuffle back to cgminer until it's fixed.

[tacotime]

Update coming (hopefully) soon, code is done but cudaminer isn't reporting to stdout properly.  As soon as this issue is solved with the cudaminer dev 0.04 will be out.  A few bugs were also fixed.

i have CUDA GeForce 310M.
it jusat wont run. i get such errors:

I still get listener started and then nothing. Tried waiting 30 minutes, nothing ever happens. Have latest SDK and drivers, tried fresh downloads, default settings etc.

Hey TacoTime!

Kudos for this! 

Can you possibly add the feature of multiple saved profiles?  For instance if I want to swap pools or hardware you could go File -> Load Settings -> Profile 1, Profile 2, ... Profile n? Custom profile names would be cool too

Thanks for developing this. I just started mining and GUIminer made it really easy. I'm using wemineltc.com. Hopefully will get the first LTC in my wallet tonight.

I'm running a 5770. GUIminer is reporting 198-200kH/s, while the pool is reporting fluctuating value from 200 to 400 kH/s, typically around 300 kH/s. Should I trust the number from GUIminer rather than what the pool website reports?

The pool's hash rate is always an estimate of your speed and not always correct, so look at your miner's speed instead.

Can I have some help here

I've downloaded GUIMinter-scrypt alpha, I'm using the Wemineltc.com pool.

For some reason I'm stuck in "Starting..." and "Connecting..." 

host: wemineltc.com
username: myusername.1
port: 3333

Do I need any additional configuration or its just worker information, and choose one of the gpu defaults? I'm using a 7950

Thanks

Assuming you're looking for the Europe pool, you need to have "eu.wemineltc.com" in the host line and make sure that "yes" is selected under "use stratum"

[Marco André]

Thanks PeeJWeeJ,

I changed the host but I still have connection problems  I guess I'm not mining any LTC today

Keep trying. Sometimes it takes a while to connect.

Any updates on the integration of CUDAMiner?

[tacotime]

Any updates on the integration of CUDAMiner?

Waiting to see if the next update brings console output in the form of stdout that python can read, otherwise I have to hack cudaminer and recompile it myself.  Right now I'd like to avoid that.

[FullLife]

Can anyone explain this to me? 
In GUIMiner (scrypt version), I can use thread concurrencies higher than 8192, but in CGMiner, I can't.  When I try to use values higher than 8192, I get the dreaded "Error -61:..." message.  This doesn't really make any sense to me at all.

[tacotime]

guiminer-scrypt sets its own environmental values rather than writing them to the registry

you can set them yourself using

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

Note that this sets them for all consoles not the one you run that command in (windows is really weird)

I've known about this command for a while, it doesn't do anything for me.  I still can't use thread concurrencies above 8192 w/ cgminer.  I'm using Win 7 Ultimate SP1 w/ AMD 13.1 drivers.

FullLife, get a copy of Windows 8 and run 13.2 beta drivers. It runs reallllly nice in Windows 8.
