The big VTC Vertcoin settings thread

[Sinyk7]

Thankfully I was able to get BAMT to recognize temperature and fan settings properly for vertminer. Here is how i did it: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.msg4983378#msg4983378

If it helps anyone out there:

I tried this and got a lot of HW errors on my XFX. got a picture for proof?

GPU0: 7950
GPU1: 280x still working on config
26hr mining results with my current config

out of curiosity, what do you get on vertminer 0.5.3? i Noticed you were on 0.5.2

It's impressive how you manage to get that high on your 7950. I can't get over ~280Kh/s on my Sapphire 7950 Dual X with any of the combination I have tried so far.

[Sinyk7]

What is REALLY funny is so far the cheaper brands are performing better with vertminer than the expensive brands.

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?

I installed mentioned lib but unfotunately with no efect.

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

I got it working by overwriting the binary with this http://vertcoin.org/downloads/vertminer.tgz It's on vertcoin frontpage. Version is 0.5.2.

Ill give it a try later tonight or tomorrow and let you know.

I copied that binary to my linux server, but nothing happens when I run the command.  What's the syntax that I should use? I was using

Code:

./vertminer -o stratum+tcp://s.la.vertcoin.org:3333 -u user.name -p xxxx

But like I say, nothing happens.  I installed the SDKs as instructed from the main page.  Is there a way to ensure they are installed and working correctly?

Thanks

That indeed is impressive, especially for an XFX card! I see you both overclocked the GPU-Engine and the GPU-Memory.

Maybe that's the culprit here as I'm running 1150/1250 (stock = 900/1250), which definitely seems to get me the highest hashrates on NORMAL scrypt coins. I guess Vertcoin is a totally different story.....

[Sinyk7]

I upped my XFX DD 7950 (TDKC) to 1070/1500 from 1040/1495 (running -I 20 and TC of 21712) and I now hit about 315 kh/s. I tried J3TW4V3's settings and was greeted by lots of HW errors....

I even disabled the other 2 cards in the system and run just the XFX and they didn't go away.

Try J3TW4V3's settings again but reboot your miner completely before testing, worked wonders for me before!

Here they are with a small adjustment: (Made fan speed go up to 100%)
--scrypt-vert -o pool:port -u user -p pass --lookup-gap 2 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 6912 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 30-100 --temp-cutoff 90 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-target 72 gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1070

i often restart my miner within bamt but if you mean to restart bamt entirely, i can try that.

vertminer 0.5.3 on windows 8.1, one thread because the card only has 2 GB. ~160 KH/s ~160 WU. Computer has 8 GB ram. At going rate, ~1 coin per day.

Only 160 kh/s?? That's like 1/3 of what i get mining scrypt with my 270x. I can't justify putting it on VTC if it takes that big of a hit. My 7950's were almost exactly 50% of their scrypt hashrate with no messing around, 33% is just not going to be worth it. I was able to get as high as 223 kh/s on the 270x but HW errors eventually appeared.

You are not taking any hits, everyone is getting 50% hashrate. Doesnt matter what your hashrate is, its an arbitrary number anyway. It onyl matters when you compare it with other's hashrates.

Exactly, that. Try rebooting the hardware completely, and see what the results are. Also, you could try deleting the .bin files so it builds new ones. You never know!

Azure Vertcoin Pool - DDOS reisistant P2Pool Node

http://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171/

To connect to this P2Pool node simply point your miner at:

URL: stratum+tcp://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171
Username: Your vertcoin address
Password: Anything

Sample configuration

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://cryptopool.cloudapp.net:9171 -u VbNPoxNeiNg6Bj9RwjjS4GazDbKLgUqNDP -p X

Fast facts

1. P2Pool nodes are all part of one single, big, distributed pool
2. When any p2pool worker on any node finds a block, everyone on all the nodes gets paid their share
3. There is no pool wallet, and hence no payout threshold. Payments go directly to your wallet
4. The distributed nature of p2pool resists DDoS attacks

Decentralize the hashrate!

2. When any p2pool worker on any node finds a block, everyone on all the nodes gets paid their share
[/center]

So if each block takes 50 minutes, I spend 40 minutes mining in between two blocks, I get paid nothing?

What if I join the 49th minute? Do I get paint 1/50th x my hashrate?

What if I was part of the pool for days and leave on the 49th minute, I get nothing?

You should add pros and cons so people understand.

So this was another scamcoin with a virus embedded in the miner? I dont see anyone responding. Probably everyone on this thread is european so sleeping at the moment.
