Why won't this work? I'm using cgminer 3.7.2, but I tried it in 3.7.3 and ybcminer, it just won't work can anyone help me set this up? (I'm running a 7950)


EDIT: I thought I had downloaded the sj version of cgminer, but I accidentally clicked on the mp version instead.

EDIT#2: So my computer runs it well for about 5 minutes, but then it crashes, every time I run it. The driver crashes, and I can't mine cachecoins using the sj cgminer. Can anyone help with this problem?

lower your intensity to around 12

reduce intensity

[platinum4]

Even at Intensity 12 HW Errors rack up just not as fast.

Still can only get share difficulty below 0, so there's no way I can tell if I am getting any WU/m, it's Accepting shares but all are /0

Can I force a higher difficulty, or would mining on a normal pool change this...

Does P2P Pool support stratum?

there is no startum+tcp:// available, you might want to change to http://

which miner are you using? I 12 is the maximum that works for me. Some cards even only work with I 11.

Does P2P Pool support stratum?

No, Longpoll only.

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of doing some CACH mining but having trouble finding good estimates for profitability.  What kind of returns are you guys getting (per MHs) and how does the whole nfactor thing affect profitability?

[vertoe]

Hey guys,

I'm thinking of doing some CACH mining but having trouble finding good estimates for profitability.  What kind of returns are you guys getting (per MHs) and how does the whole nfactor thing affect profitability?

1 MH/s currently yields 6.734 CACH/day.
6.734 CACH = 0.0404 BTC = 1.65726 LTC = 22.63 USD at current rate.

The nfactor decreases hashrate due to higher memory requirements as far as I understand that.
Next two nfactors will kill GPU mining completely.

[SamboNZ]

Thanks for that info vertoe, it's much appreciated!

So how often do the nfactor changes happen?

Also, how much do you earn from proof of stake mining?

next nfactors from OP:
Time:   1394192763   7 Mar 2014   N: 4096   Nfactor: 11
Time:   1397338491   13 Apr 2014   N: 8192   Nfactor: 12
Time:   1401532795   31 May 2014   N: 16384   Nfactor: 13
Time:   1405727099   19 Jun 2014   N: 32768   Nfactor: 14

My biggest stake was 8 CACH. My latest stake was around 1 CACH, on the network there are a lot smaller stakes though.
It depends on coin age and the number of CACH you have.

So you're basically saying that after the 13th of April GPU mining will be unprofitable?

So let's say I have 30 Cache and they're brand new, if I POS mine for a week, what is my likely return?

Not unprofitable but impossible. The first GPUs with low memory already stopped working with CACH at Nfactor 10. Next will come at 11 and 12 will kill the last remaining GPUs on the net.

This is a stake of 33 CACH:

Not sure on the coin age, but I guess after 7 days you are somewhere at 0.03 CACH maybe?

[SamboNZ]

Wow, really!?  That's crazy!  So how is anyone going to mine it, even on CPU, when the memory requirements exceed a reasonable amount?

Quite unlikely you'll get a stake straight after 7 days. It might take weeks

[jasinlee]

The CPU will still mine it, it will simply become a CPU only coin at that point.

[SamboNZ]

So the memory limitation is only with GPUs?

You are using the latest miner available from https://sites.google.com/site/rmdavidson/    correct?

Given the recent N factor change you may require retuning of your card, your usual scrypt parameters may not be optimal any longer.

An easy fix is to drop your Intensity level, however several users have recommended starting from scratch with your tuning.

anyone using R7990 and can share config?
