GUIMiner-scrypt: A GUIMiner fork for mining scrypt chains

[LPCobris]

im not getting anything over here...I click start and it says starting but never goes any further.

i blanked out usernames. but I coppied my worker name directly from the site and an positive the password is right.

Any ideas?

tried changing the settings as instructed and still get nothing. Im also getting the error "unexpected command line arguments". Does it matter where I install guiminer? I currently have it on my desktop. should it be in program files? Ive had my cards running on bitminter, so I know they work. Im running out of things to try.

Thanks again or taking the time to help me!

Hi!
Try this:

- Lower the TC value
- Lower the Intensity to 18 or 19

It will start the miner... normally this error is TC too high...

what would be a good TC value? how would one determine an optimal TC??

for 7xxx or 2xx cards
with GPU threads = 1 it's usually ~12-13 * number_of_shaders
with GPU threads = 2 it's usually  ~4 * number_of_shaders

Hi Taco!
Glad to hear from you!

Okey no problem, just keep them coming!

Another bug to add for the fix...
Sometimes, if you stop a miner that was runing at 20 intensity, and change it to less intensity (ex: 13, 14, 15), and then stop. And save and restart the miner again at 20 intensity, the GUIMiner will cause the driver to crash.
Even after the recovery, the miner will not recover, giving very slow performance and cannot start at full speed at any intensity setting.
Maybe there is a way to recover the miner... my "fix" is to stop everything and reboot the machine...

This is a known bug and is an issue with cgminer I'm pretty sure.  I'm not sure what to do about it.  Usually if you do to "Device Manager" and disable and then re-enable the video card you can also use it again.

Hi Taco!
Thanks for info, i will do that, to see if it works...

My current TC value is 18400 (wouldn't) run at 2000+, and im only getting about 400kh. I cant get it to run on the presets at all. I would think running 2x270x's that I would be getting around 450-500kh each. but at least im up and running now...

[omgbossis21]

I still use your software and if you plan o updating would even throw some donations out.  I was actually just messing with settigs on my 2 differenet cards and accidentally started the same card on both instances, my one card maintained my usual 220k hash and the secod instance was holding around 50k (and extra 50k!).  Afraid to continue running it like that, curious if anyone else has tried.  If it wont hurt I'd do it with both cards (my other cards faster =-)

Ok so finally figured out what exactly happened

Avast virus scan edited/scanned/sandboxed/whatever cgminer/bitcoinminer.exe/something/othersomething/whatever can't remember the specifics.

Anyways, formatting the hard drive should fix the issue I just haven't gotten around to it.

Also would suggest adding a note in the op to not run Avast's "pre start up virus scan" since it will break gui miner.

[jeremyg]

what factors determine efficiency??? it would appear that im losing about 7/8%? is it a function of difficulty vs Thread concurrency?

im running 2 radeon R9 270s right now with a TC of 18400 and a difficulty of 19.  combined hash rate of about 750 right now according to scryptguild.

thanks!

I would love to download this, but I keep getting malware warnings. I even put it in VirusTotal, and it got a bad rating. Is there a safe way to download this?

maybe soon when open source prime miner comes out that will be added
+ minor bug fixes

Hey taco,
            It would be cool if you can get this to work with SPH miner.

Hi. Need help here. I followed everything here.....https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=7722.0 (Guide on how to mine litecoins).
Used the CGMiner version but when I started cgminer 3.5.0 I kept on getting these:

c1DevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
No devices detected!
Waiting for USB hotplug devices or press q to quit
Probing for an alive pool
Pool 0 difficulty changed to 256
Network diff set to 338M

These are the specifications of the machine im using. I have no idea if this is capable of mining litecoin.

Hi All,

Everyone know that Scrypt ASIC Hardware is now coming in market ASAP by the companies like zeusminer, Flower Technology etc...

Anyone know how to make setup these ASIC Hardware with "GUIMiner-scrypt"... What are the configurations details etccccc....

Or any other information which anyone have, please share it...

use 7970 settings. you have to run each core separately.
