Excuse me but what did I miss here? I tried to mine with GPUMiner Scrypt with GPU on 2 pools, on both getting just stale/invalid shares.
Should I be doing something else?

You need to use the 'cgminer-alt' (link in the original post).

did you read the OP this is a Blake-256 based coin not a Scrypt coin as sprinkles said check the OP all software is listed and it is also listed in the "Getting Started Guide" on both pools

Well I have a new PC. Taking old PC (8 GIG Ram 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo) and making it my Miner PC converting it Unbuntu 12.4. Then to get the CM1 mining blake on it again. Also just got a X6500 rev3 will use to mine SHA256 altcoins until I can get it onto blake.

sounds cool, I am using ubuntu 12.04 x64 on the servers so I could help if you get stuck, I also have the mcs for the CM1 if you need it?

looks like we'll have to find a new exchange to trade on, openex.pw was riddled with insecurites. hopefully no one here lost any coins from it.

Thanks to kramble for pointing this out Quote from the Litecoin Release Notes: "win32 builds contained a problematic version of the boost library that would occasionally cause all network activity to fail until the client is restarted. This annoyance was solved with an upgrade to boost-1.55 for the win32 builds." http://blog.litecoin.org/2014/01/litecoin-0862-release-notes.htmlI will try a new build 0.9.0 and if it is stable and builds ok will release within a few days, I do hope this also fixes the same type of bug we have seen in Blakecoin

Hi, We are working on our own Blakecoin derived coin called MikuCoin. Might take some time to get the kinks out of it since Blakecoin is new it self. Will be keeping things up to date. Also to note, MikuCoin has been worked on and restarted a few times over the last 9 months. Newer and or better ideas that we prefer to base our coin on come out. Now we do feel that blake256 is the way to go. Website: Will be replaced when we are close to release. http://www.mikucoin.org

Improved Ztex 1.15x bitstream (168-180MHz) will be available soon (max tomorrow).
Via PM (thanks) Fresh, new faster bitstream is available.
Results: Ztex 1.15x clone - grade 2 chip: 168MHz stable with 0 HW, 7.6W power with 40mm fan Ztex 1.15x - grade 3 chip: 180MHz stable with 0 HW, 8.7W power with 40mm fan (360MH/s).
I'll do another attempt to hit 200MHz.
Bitstream is at https://www.dropbox.com/s/polv7bu899w4bmi/hal7_ztex_ufm1_15d4_2core_v03.bitI'll update the github tomorrow. Trying this on windows... with this old one, do I need a newer? https://www.dropbox.com/s/f34zwu3oek0rj4m/cgminer.exe[2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A32DC7CA-1: Found Ztex (fpga count = 1) , mark as 0 [2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A3468A8A-1: capability missing: 0 7 [2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A3468A8A-1: Found Ztex (fpga count = 1) , mark as 1 [2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A3468E2F-1: capability missing: 0 7 [2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A3468E2F-1: Found Ztex (fpga count = 1) , mark as 2 [2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A346DF0A-1: capability missing: 0 7 [2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A346DF0A-1: Found Ztex (fpga count = 1) , mark as 3 [2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A346E2B9-1: capability missing: 0 7 [2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A346E2B9-1: Found Ztex (fpga count = 1) , mark as 4
Then it crashes...

Then it crashes... I found that if I tried to run too many ztex boards per cgminer it just crashes, try 4 lx150 chips per cgminer and see if it still crashes? you can also add -T to cgminer.conf and it also runs more boards

I don't think that another blake-256 based coin is an issue if it is merge mine capable, I am happy to help but the dev's do need to take some advice and not just clone Blakecoin

Then it crashes... Yep, if you're running on windows, the curses display code is rather buggy. It seems to crash if there is any attempt to write to the display during the initialization process (typically due to errors). As Blue suggested, try the -T switch and redirect the output to a log file by adding 2>log.txt to the command line. Examine the log for error/warning messages. [EDIT] Ah, just noticed "[2014-01-15 11:12:42] ZTEX 04A3468A8A-1: capability missing: 0 7", which is not right. Looks like you've got an older (or newer?) version of the firmware installed on the Cypress EZ-USB chip. If its an older one, it may be worth updating to the latest firware from http://www.ztex.de/btcminer/ - I guess its ztex_ufm1_15d4.ihx you want (for the 1.15x board which I assume you're using). [EDIT2] But perhaps this is normal for the 1.15x? (I don't have one). The 0 7 comes from libztex_checkCapability(ztex, CAPABILITY_MULTI_FPGA), so its just checking if its a multi-fpga board. I'll need to dig around a bit more in the code ... OK, it looks like its a non-fatal error, so perhaps its just crashing due to the curses bug (FYI CAPABILITY_MULTI_FPGA is buried deep in the ztex firmware API, vis ztex-fpga5.h which states it was added for the 1.15y so is likely to be missing in older firmware versions). See if it actually works with the -T switch without updating the firmware first. And a further thought, if its an older firmware it may not be loading ztex_ufm1_15d4.bit so you'll need to check which one it is loading (just move/rename all but that one and see if it errors). Its possible that the d4 blake bitstream will work if renamed to d1/d3, though AFAIR there is a comms protocol change so perhaps unlikely. Looks like the firmware upgrade may be required after all. The cgminer version you are using is the current one (the source code has been updated since, but this is only to support the Lancelot board as an alternative build to the Cairnsmore CM1). Best of Luck
