Vertcoin - First Scrypt N | First Stealth Address - Privacy without mixer

[jamesl22]

What is your setup? How are you connecting sgminer to your wallet? What errors do you get with p2pool? For P2Pool the "address" portion of your sgminer.conf will need to read "stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:9175" for testnet to function.

My Setup is Windows 7 64 Bit with 12GB ram and 3x R9 290x.
AMD Catalyst ControlCenter is:
Version 2013.1206.1603.28764

In both szenarios i start vertcoin with testnet=1 and server=1

In soloming i connect my sgminer with

      "url" : "localhost:9332",
      "user" : "WhatEver",
      "pass" : "RandomNumber"

There I get no error, but only rejected blocks.


===========================================
2: with windows p2pool testnet:
I start with:
run_p2pool.exe --net vertcoin --testnet

This seems to start fine.
It also have added an receive address labeled "p2pool" in vertcoin gui.

Then I start sgminer with that:

      "url" :  "localhost:9175",
      "user" : "WvcaZngyf6a6DxotypGHPnDjY26AS4CMiE",
      "pass" : "RandomNumber"

On p2pool i get: (also seems to work)

l: Expected time to share:

But after 1min sgminer displays:

[22:01:35] Pool: 0  URL: http://localhost:9175  User: WvcaZngyf6a6DxotypGHPnDjY2
6AS4CMiE  Password: RandomNumber

[22:01:51] No servers were found that could be used to get work from.
[22:01:51] Please check the details from the list below of the servers you have
input
[22:01:51] localhost difficulty changed to 0.008
[22:01:51] Most likely you have input the wrong URL, forgotten to add a port, or
 have not set up workers

[22:01:51] Press any key to exit, or sgminer will try again in 15s.

I also have tried to start sgminer with url with stratum:

      "url" :  "stratum+tcp://localhost:9175",
      "user" : "WvcaZngyf6a6DxotypGHPnDjY26AS4CMiE",
      "pass" : "RandomNumber"

but with exact the same dispay ...

3: mining Lyra2RE on pool.

I start sgminer with:

      "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum-eu1.hashlink.eu:10031",
      "user" : "daboehla.a",
      "pass" : "a"

Here I get accepted shares from the pool. Also on the website i can watch the hashrate.

PS:
i tried all 3 with starting sgminer with .bat file with setting variables:
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

EDIT:
Updated Catalyst to Version 2014.04.17.2226.38446. with same issues... :/

Can you redownload p2pool and try again? https://github.com/metalicjames/p2pool-Lyra2RE/releases/download/v0.0.1/P2Pool-Lyra2RE-WIN32.zip

I have made some changes that may fix this issue.

Running (4) 750 ti's (Gigabyte GV-N75TOC-2GI) on Lyra2RE.

I am getting 555 kH/s to 580 kH/s per card with the default clocks and settings.

Has anyone else tested the 750 ti's?  Suggested settings?

you can increase the memory clock (as well as core clock, but memory clock is more important here)
I use +150MHz on core and +200MHz on memory clock, I get on my stock gainward 666khash/s (max)


new version for sgminer (it is based on latest sgminer5) so some of the problems (different setting for different cards not working )encountered should be fixed). It is also slightly faster (alternative groeslt function/blake256 in one round instead of two)
It is also optimised for 14.6 (I need to check how 14.4 performs though, if someone can test would be helpful)

can be found here (I will request a pull to sgminer5, but being rather a noob with github, expect some delay)

When is the real fork why everybody keep saying less than 24 hours isn't the 16th?

[TheCoinFinder]

When is the real fork why everybody keep saying less than 24 hours isn't the 16th?

Because the algorithm changes at block 208,301.

We are currently at 207588. And blocks are found roughly every 2 and a half minutes.

This means there are 713 blocks to the fork.

Thanks for the info, i sign up for u pool but what if i want to mine solo what wallet should i use?

I think buying will accelerate as the price goes up. Some people are still thinking VTC will come back down crashing...

Hello

Somebody asked yesterday if Vertigo - Vertcoin Lightweight Wallet will be updated for the Vertcoin fork.

Vertigo is going to be updated to the recent Vertcoin fork.

However some technical information details for implementation is needed to know, what needs to be updated, implemented to make the update.

Could somebody from Vertcoin developers provide details about the fork what needs to be updated and or possibly provide updated VertcoinJ library, please?

PS: VertcoinJ library is also used in Android Wallet.

Regards

I can help with forking VertcoinJ (it is based on my MegacoinJ, which is from my DigitalcoinJ, which is from BitcoinJ).  The problem will be getting a java version of the new hashing algorithm.

It appears that the dev behind the first android app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet.vertcoin) has left the building (as it were).

Doesn't solve the Problem ... I think the problem is on my vertcoin qt, because I can't solomine testnet.
But i already cleaned hole %appdata% vertcoin folder and synced new.

I mine on pool first time, and try to solve it after fork ^^

Are we hybrid mining Scrypt-N/Lyra2RE now? I'm mining with about 2 MH/S Lyra2RE and the pool (verters) says it is only 4 kh/s. Will that change when the algo switches?

guys, I even cannot start the sgminer. what am I doing wrong? I have two AMD 280X cards and I would like to test and configure my rig for lyra2re.

sgminer.exe --kernel lyra2re -o stratum+tcp://ca.simplemulti.com:3374 -u username -p password --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --shaders 2048 -I 13 -w 256 --gpu-dyninterval 7 --gpu-threads 2 --expiry 28 --scan-time 30 --queue 3 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune -20 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-fan 100 --gpu-vddc 1.100



Started sgminer 5.1.0
* using Jansson 2.7
clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
All devices disabled, cannot mine!



thank you

When is the real fork why everybody keep saying less than 24 hours isn't the 16th?

Because the algorithm changes at block 208,301.

We are currently at 207588. And blocks are found roughly every 2 and a half minutes.

This means there are 713 blocks to the fork.

?
what if i want to mine solo which wallet should i use?

I think there is only one Wallet for solomining ?
Ok, one with gui and without.
And 32 and 64, depend on your system

My understanding is that some pools already switched to Lyra2 for testing purposes. They are working on the testnet.
They are intended to allow a smoother transition. When Lyra2 will kick in, they will be transparently switched to main network.

Contrary to what it was said a couple of months ago, it seems VTC will not go multi-algo.
