will explain after work  ~ 10 pm cst

I was monitoring the miner output via multipool and middlecoin. My payouts have not changed yet. appartently either this breaks the connection  or the server is detecting bad scrypt output and is disconnecting. I thought this was awesome, and it worked last night. It is now not working with the pools I had it on.

Try it with a pool that doesn't change coins. maybe the change of the coin which causes a disconnect breaks it?

That's what multipool is. Multipool.us just gives you the coins percentage.

What is the trick?

The trick is to force computation onto the 3D side. You do this by starting Cudaminer when 2D is running, and then disable 2D. This keeps the 2D running for the program only and forces the 2D computation into the 3D program. Its like running an 8 bit program on a 32 bit system without emulation.

So what are you doing to achieve this?

I was using Asus GPU Tweak to overclock with 2D enabled, starting Cudaminer, then disabling 2D in GPU Tweak. This forced it to use the drivers in 3D.

Hey, Treggar, are you a scam artist or not?

Your pool gets 'DDoSed' and you ignore communications regarding the coins you've essentially stolen?

Will the change in Dave Andersen's code on github increase the hash for a 660ti card already running at 290kh???

you're already running it. It's in the 2013-12-18 release.

The github version adds maybe 10 or 15 kHash/s more (by supporting the -C 1 flag). It will be in the next cudaminer release, toggether with scrypt-jane (Yacoin) mining support.

I just mined my first Yacoin block SOLO. One 660Ti plus 2 GT 640 cards add up to 4.5 kHash/s, which is significant hashing power for Yacoin (the whole Yacoin network is around 1000-1500 kHash/s only, with blocks being generated once per minute.)

EDIT: I was trying to use the tesla kernel. It doesn't appear to like Jane. I can squeeze out 2.3 KH/s on my gtx 780 using K9x2. Going to keep tinkering.

This isn't really the place for this subject, this is the cudaminer thread.

But I'll humor you with an answer (I hadn't checked my messages, sorry).  I turned on auto payout for all members and sent out all pending coins before I shut it all down.  Honestly, out of the 365,000 coins that I sent out, why would I scam you out of the 44 that I show were sent to you?  aka about 7 cents worth if you trade them for BTC.

I tried this with my GTX 570.  Cudaminer reported 3308 KHash/sec and continued on its way lol, but no blocks were being submitted and GPU usage went down to 0%.

git pull and build the latest (with all the latest scrypt-jane h4x), I get 10khash/s less than if I git reset --hard 744d7b7923e106fadfc20eff9833d5d7a5da93c8 (December 28th) on scrypt, on my 660ti.

Does anyone else see this?

Hi everyone. Finally I can reply to this post. Is there any chance you can have a look at mt question abiut cuda miner save me multi posting? New account so my first post couldnt be here. Thanks to anyone that looks

This is what I'm getting if I compile the github version:



I had to feed it a different libcurl as you can see because it crashes with the original one.

I'd also like to understand how this works... disable 2D while it's running?

Just turn on the overclock and then cudaminer. You have to then, disable 2D in GPU Tweak. That is the process. I would like to find out why the scrypt is not being submitted or accepted. I would need someone who knows about programming and scrypt computations to find the issue, and possibly fix it. This would be a huge boost if we can get it working. It could all be for naught though.

2.4 kHash with K4x4 on GTX 660Ti, I also use -C 1

Tesla, Fermi and Legacy Kernels don't do scrypt-jane yet.

This is what I get whenever I try. I've tried a number of launch codes but they don't seem to make any difference.

@cbuchner1 I could finally build a working x86 release, (couldn't build x64, yet) I'm getting 2.07 Kh/s with scrypt-jane on a GTX 660 (Non-Ti) but what I'm also getting is a lot of "hash > target (false positive)" debug lines.
What does it mean?

[Shadow_Runner]

Is this miner support scrypt-jane?

[bathrobehero]

Is this miner support scrypt-jane?

It's getting there

[Shadow_Runner]

Is this miner support scrypt-jane?

It's getting there

So, for now answer is NO?

[bigjme]

Has cudaminer been updated? I noticed a lot of the git hub files have been updated in the last 3 or so days. So has it had an update and the zip file not been posted?

And what is all the talk with scrypt-jane? I know it seems much slower and is a harder working algorithm,  but are a lot of people jumping over to the coins using this?

Thanks for any explanation I get. Im still very new to mining so sorry if these questions seem daft.

Thanks,
Jamie
