[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

[trancelord]

Hey guys, I have a question.

how do you set cudaminer to switch to pools automatically?

like say a pool doesnt reconnect, you can autoswitch to another pool after a while.

i know cg miner does it.. but how can u do it on cuda? what is the command?

tryin to set it up and run it automatically cuz i gotta work tonight and im mining something.

thanks

You can set a specific amount of retries, and then make cudaminer terminate automatically when those retries have ran out.
Use -r # for the retry count and -R # for retry seconds

Examples:

Code:

:loop
cudaminer.exe -R 5 -r 10 -o pool1.com -O Acc.Worker:Pass
cudaminer.exe -R 10 -r 5 -o pool2.com -O Acc.Worker:Pass
cudaminer.exe -R 15 -r 2 -o pool3.com -O Acc.Worker:Pass
goto loop

do you mind if i post my settings so you can see troubleshoot me quick?


cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://minercrew.org:3336 -u help.user -p password
-o stratum+tcp://pool.yourmine.org:3340 -u help.user -p password
cudaminer.exe -d 0,1,2 -i 1,0,0 -l auto,S27x3,28x4 -C 0,2,1


i want to add more pools after, but can i get it to switch pools, if say.. 1 doesnt work for a min straight?
how would i do that. thanks

Ready for the Helixcoin launch?

Yep, though they haven't released any nodes to use for "addnode=IP" configs

One is built into the QT-wallet I believe. The rest one are probably discovered via P2P. If I got all my altcoin wallet finangles right. Its worse when the wallet is showing "No block source found." Let's hope the authors will release the wallet before difficulty is 100K ><

just copy and paste what send you Manikweet.
What you wrote (many pool in the same line) does not work

[ManIkWeet]

do you mind if i post my settings so you can see troubleshoot me quick?

cudaminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://minercrew.org:3336 -u help.user -p password
-o stratum+tcp://pool.yourmine.org:3340 -u help.user -p password
cudaminer.exe -d 0,1,2 -i 1,0,0 -l auto,S27x3,28x4 -C 0,2,1

i want to add more pools after, but can i get it to switch pools, if say.. 1 doesnt work for a min straight?
how would i do that. thanks

Something like:

Code:

:loop
cudaminer.exe -R 10 -r 6 -d 0,1,2 -i 1,0,0 -l auto,S27x3,28x4 -C 0,2,1 -o stratum+tcp://minercrew.org:3336 -u help.user -p password
cudaminer.exe -R 5 -r 6 -d 0,1,2 -i 1,0,0 -l auto,S27x3,28x4 -C 0,2,1 -o stratum+tcp://pool.yourmine.org:3340 -u help.user -p password
goto loop

The first line is a .bat indication that a piece of code starts there.
The second line would retry the connection every 10 seconds, for 6 times (so 60 seconds)
The third line would retry the connection ever 5 seconds, for 6 times (so 30 seconds total)
The fourth line would tell the .bat to go to the indication at line 1

This is the best you can do with CudaMiner for now.

You can set a specific amount of retries, and then make cudaminer terminate automatically when those retries have ran out.
Use -r # for the retry count and -R # for retry seconds

Examples:

Code:

:loop
cudaminer.exe -R 5 -r 10 -o pool1.com -O Acc.Worker:Pass
cudaminer.exe -R 10 -r 5 -o pool2.com -O Acc.Worker:Pass
cudaminer.exe -R 15 -r 2 -o pool3.com -O Acc.Worker:Pass
goto loop

i added those retry commands and after the retries are done. it says
workio thread dead, waiting for workers, and it just sits there.


so i think i need some kind of  terminate command to make it go to the next pool?



heres what i have

:loop
cudaminer.exe -R 5 -r 5 -o stratum+tcp://minercrew.org:3336 -u miner.user -p password

Actually that line would never run, as it goes back to loop.
Also, you need the parameters of cudaminer in every line, not at the bottom.

Okay...
How much cards do you have? What kind etc?
Where did you manage to find the configs, because clearly your understanding of how it works is lacking. (No offence)
Have you ever succesfully mined a single coin on that pool?
Perhaps give the output of your "running" version (right-click -> mark -> select the text -> press enter -> paste it here)

Sorry guys, the code update I've received for Keccak is not yet working properly.
I believe the rotate left macro is malfunctioning for arguments >= 32.   
The hashes don't validate.

I won't have time to fix this before the launch of Helixcoin unfortunately.

The keccak from maxcoin should still work though?
