[ANN] Wyvern: what happened and why, a message from the original dev

[ColonelClink]

Well, just realized i've been a moron.  Was running SG miner instead of CC miner on wyvern, just over doubled my hashrate in seconds :/  too bad I'd been mining for over a week.

I presume an nvidia card?

I've been trying and failed to mine with sgminer on an AMD RX 480 8G. The PC reboots a second after I start sgminer.exe.

Anyone care to share their .conf?

Here's mine, although I've tried all sorts with the intensity, worksize, gpu-threads, etc...

Code:

"intensity" : "18",
"worksize" : "64",
"kernel" : "nist5",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"shaders" : "2560",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-engine" : "1000-1000",
"gpu-fan" : "30-80",
"gpu-memclock" : "650",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000",
"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"expiry" : "28",
"failover-switch-delay" : "60",
"gpu-dyninterval" : "7",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"log" : "5",
"no-pool-disable" : true,
"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "7",
"tcp-keepalive" : "30",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

Generally, instant-reboot stability issues can be tracked down to either bad PSU or card. Have you ruled out a BSOD by turning off Automatically Restart on System Failure under Startup and Recovery options?

I should have specified actually, it is a BSOD. Error message system_service_exception and it references atikmdag.sys

I've reinstalled drivers and searched the web for answers. None of what I have found helps.

I don't think it's drivers as I can mine other coins OK, just not this nist5. My conf looks OK?

Your config file looks ok, though I'm using NVIDIA cards and so I can't really test it. One of the team is using an AMD gpu, so I will talk to him and see what I can dig up. Meantime, can you please tell me the following:

• Windows version
• Driver version and where you obtained it
• Video card bios version

[ColonelClink]

Where do I buy WYV right now ?

Our current exchange listing is https://www.coinexchange.io/market/WYV/BTC, but we will be listed on Yobit soon, and a Bittrex application is in the works.

[BoscoMurray]

• Windows version
• Driver version and where you obtained it
• Video card bios version

Thanks, I'd appreciate it.

Windows 10
Driver version in 17.4.4, obtained directly from AMD. I've tried a few other versions too, but I forget them all.
BIOS version is the latest from MSI 015.050.000.000 (the card came installed with this BIOS - I've not changed it)

[sammybtc]

I tried too with -k nist5 option and it litteraly crash my rig. I am remote I can't try anything.

I had a lot of invalid nonce - HW error before the crash

Forgot to ask which version of sgminer you're using (if you're not using 5.6.1 from https://github.com/nicehash/sgminer/releases, give it a try. If you are, try the previous version).

I was using 4.1.0, linked in the OP. I've tried 5.6.1 now, same issue though unfortunately.

That rules that out then. Have you tried uninstalling your drivers using Guru3D's DDU? This post had the same issue you do, but supposedly DDU solved it.

Seems the nicehash miner isn't working for the team member either (he's using Crimson ReLive 17.1.1 drivers though). Try this config with sph-sgminer:

That works with sph-sgminer. Will play around on the newer version later, but looks like something in my conf was the issue.

Thanks very much!

name looks pretty cool and all, but graphics really need some work. are you seriously a coin made for "gamers" with such shitty graphics? can you even make games?

You're very welcome. FWIW: we also tried this config with the newer versions and continued to have bluescreens, so something is definitely funky. Out of curiosity, would you mind following the instructions at https://github.com/nicehash/NiceHashMiner/issues/873 and attaching your debug log?

You must be a professional troll or something.  The exact same comment was left at the top of page 16 of the forum comments, but under a different account.  At least try to be a little bit original

You may need to use the sph-sgminer from here: https://github.com/prettyhatemachine/sph-sgminer/releases though if you're having hardware errors your card(s) may be dying.
