The big VTC Vertcoin settings thread

Off topic but anyone else's deposits to cryptsy Vert not showing up? For me its been over 12 hours.

I've got a 6x R9 280x BAMT distro mining currently... What steps do I have to take to get it to mine Vertcoins? Is it even doable on BAMT? Or any Linux distro out there? (Windows won't recognise 6 GPU's)

Yes, the same issue!

UPDATE: Just received them all.

So i bought an extra set of 4gb ram, and cranked up my r9 290 from 230 kh/s to 440 kh/s

[mik_druid]

Nice! I'm thinking on investing some more ram for the future..

Samsung and Hynix and Elpida benefit from VERTCOINS.  Their shares will jump like BITCOIN 10 fold.

Hi,

I am running Vertminer 0.5.3 on Xubuntu 12.04. So far no problems. Only one thing that bothers me is that Vertminer is not showing overview of hashrate, fan speed, temperatures, etc. as usual but I get screen of "running" text where actual hashrate is sometimes shown at the very bottom.

Do you have any idea what is wrong? Thanks for help.

Do you have libncurses5-dev installed?

ya my 3k is still missing also.... 15 hours now

[mkonecny]

Can anyone comment on roughly how many coins they are mining per day? My 280x is doing 266Kh/s, and I've mined about 1 coin in 8 hours.

Strange thing is that my GPU seems to be doing less work. The room the machine is in is much colder than normal, and I see a lot of "requested work restart" in the console. If this is normal, then good, just curious what numbers others are seeing.

P.S. For anyone with a 280x that can't get -i 13 working without hardware errors, there was a comment here that mentions try restarting your computer. That fixed is for me :/.

Okay, I'm out of options so i'm going to have to beg for help.  

I've tried running both the vercoin miner and the modified cgminer for vertcoin mining but I can't get either one to run more than 2 of my 290s at the same time.  I have 3 290x and one 290 in the same rig.  I can individually enable any 2 of them at one time, but never more than 2.  I'm aware that system RAM and TC affects these things, but I have 8 gigs and am running 64-bit Windows 7.  I have no problems scrypt mining with all 4.  Things I've tried:

1.  I've run both miners with nothing but the server and my login information - only 2 start.
2.  I've tried running with specific devices enabled and then manually enabling them 1 by one - only 2 run, but technically I can get the other 2 to not say OFF.
3.  I've tried running at TC of 8192, 16xxx, 24xxx - only 2 start.  
4.  I've reset my system and tried running with optimum settings - only 2 start.  

The error message is always the same:  Error -4: .......

And suddenly they all started.  I had recently made a change to the core clock rate down to 900 and reduced the thread concurrency to 8192 again.  Seemingly worked.  Core clocks back up to 1000 again after they turned on.

I'm still posting this in case others have a similar problem.  

edit:  NO work being done above I 13 even though minimal HW.  Hashrate pathetic at I 13 ~  275 Kh/s per card.

I have the following settings on my 2xGigabyte 7950s setup (I got a couple of cards n the shop):
./vertminer -o startum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u -p x -I 13  --thread-concurrency 14777   --gpu-engine 1050  --gpu-memclock 1500

these are the best settings I can get without getting HW errors and all I get is a whopping 327 mhs  !!!!

Apparently everyone has r9 280x now, so I have been having a lot of trouble trying to get better settings around here  

Would be awesome if more people published their configs for 7950s


Cheers!  

That's not bad. Remember hashrate is half of normal scrypt. Going to try your settings as mine (posted some 20 updates ago) got me a good 250Khs on HD7950's.

I'm getting 163.5 khs per card! not 327 hashes each ! I used to mine @ ~650 dogecoin so I am currently mining @ 1/4 of the normal scrypt currencies :-/

That explains why I couldn't get it to work properly.

My HD7950 (XFX's) config again, for 250+ Khs each:
./vertminer -o blabla -u aa -p bb --failover-only -I 19,19 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 16384 --gpu-powertune 5,15 --gpu-engine 1110 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-fan 30-90 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --scan-time 30 --temp-cutoff 90 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-target 80 --api-port 4028 --api-listen --api-network --api-allow W:192.168.1/24

Weird! I get a TON of HW with your settings. Guess I'll be sshing from my morning classes to get a clean install going and give it another try

Try adding -g 2 to your batch file and post your results.

[NoSnipeLimit]

Just set this up, was getting bad rates, disabled crossfire and got R9290s at 400kh/s each.
Wasn't a problem to have cf on with other cgminers I've used before.

"intensity" : "18,18",
"worksize" : "512,512",
"lookup-gap" : "2,2",
"thread-concurrency" : "27000,27000",
"gpu-powertune" : "20,20",
"gpu-threads" : "1",

I installed mentioned lib but unfotunately with no efect.

Any other idea? Is there someone who runs Linux rig who can share experiences? Thanks.

[CrystalCoin]

Here's my batch.

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A
vertminer -o stratum+tcp://vtc.poolz.net:3333 -u xxxxx -p xxxx -I 12 -w 256 -g 2 -v 1 --thread-concurrency 4448 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 1050 --gpu-memclock 1500

I'm getting around 170-180 out of each of my 270's except they all get a few HW...
Help?

hi,
I have a Radeon HD5670 and my Hashrate for Vertcoin are very very low (10-12kh/s)
my settings are -I 16 -g 2 -w 128 --thread-concurrency 3048
can anyone help me ?

[mattbigblue]

Just got 2 R9 290 Sapphire Tri-x with Hynix memory..does anyone have some decent settings for this card with hynix memory ? I have same Elpidia cards and elpidia settings doesn't seem to work with them well. on -12mv, 1000/1500 on hynix I got freeze after few minutes...and horizontal lines from the beginning.

I mean clocks, I'm aready pulling 450 from R9 290 Elpidia, just need fine tune for Hynix and I believe this is the right topic cause I dont have a problem with running vertminer
