Selling for under 0.002 feels like just throwing it away but I'd hate to hold onto coins if it's still go down and never come back up.

if you believe in a spike then by all means buy with some of the previous earnings.

[bigjme]

every nonce value is different on all the rejects....
i should know, 6 one after another :-(

Yeah WTF then are the pool operators cheating?

right then, just noticed something, its submitting codes it did much earlier

like i just had 4 rejects in a row, reject 1 and 4 had the same nonce
and i have a feeling 2 and 3 many have had the same nonce as earlier submissions

i wonder if there is a way to get cudaminer to save all the nonce values and if they were a yay or boo in a file to look up whats being sent?

Okay try the fix that is now in github. I think it will make you happy.

[bigjme]

compiling now, will update this post as i get news

Edit 1
"job b14 not found" gave me a reject
4 duplicate shares after each other

Edit 2
6 duplicate shares after each other
now at 8/18

On a different note the fix I posted above has brought my accept rate to 100%.
Explain this. ;-)

duplicates came in this rate;

4
6
1
1

another saying job not found

[cbuchner1]

Could it be that we are seeing a wraparound of the nonce search space? As our cards have hundred megahash/s search power, it may be that the nonce word (32 bit) just wraps around before a new block is found. It would also explain why faster cards report MORE duplicates. The word wraps around quicker.

I think there is a field called "extranonce" which may have be be incremented in this case.

Christian

[bigjme]

there is one called extranonce2 but its always 0

Will keep an eye on your work, as usual, wish I could be of help. 

[cbuchner1]

http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/5048/what-is-the-extranonce

maybe we could increment the timestamp field or something in case of wraparound? clearly this pooler cpuminer wasn't designed with hundred MHash/s speeds in mind...

EDIT: I find that the ntime field is submitted by stratum together with the nonce and it is stored in work->data[17]
so it's safe to increment then, I guess?

Code:

		le32enc(&ntime, work->data[17]);
		le32enc(&nonce, work->data[19]);
		ntimestr = bin2hex((const unsigned char *)(&ntime), 4);
		noncestr = bin2hex((const unsigned char *)(&nonce), 4);
		xnonce2str = bin2hex(work->xnonce2, work->xnonce2_len);
		sprintf(s,
			"{\"method\": \"mining.submit\", \"params\": [\"%s\", \"%s\", \"%s\", \"%s\", \"%s\"], \"id\":4}",
			rpc_user, work->job_id, xnonce2str, ntimestr, noncestr);
		free(ntimestr);
		free(noncestr);

I am getting a "Stratum connection failed" message, is this because of the program or am i looking in the wrong direction for help/understanding of this error

okay, this looks like it might overflow very quickly

Code:

        uint32_t end_nonce = 0xffffffffU / opt_n_threads * (thr_id + 1) - 0x20;

assume only 1 thread mining, then end_nonce will be 0xffffffdfU

now the issue is that when we compute in chunks of about 30000 hashes at once
we will overflow work.data[19] so that the following condition is never met!

Code:

        if (work.data[19] >= end_nonce)
              stratum_gen_work(&stratum, &g_work);

TODO: replace the 0x20 with a value large enough so that overflow will
          not occur.  Alternatively make sure we never update work.data[19]
          with a value smaller than the previous value. Instead write 0xffffffffU.

Vertcoin is currently very profitable.
