Very Nice!
I tried to compile it yesterday for windows and I usually can figure things out...but I spent like 4-5 hrs with no luck

Guys/Gals,
This what I get when I run the debug command for sgminer. Can anyone tell me what I can try to get sgminer working. I hate to keep asking rookie questions but I really like where this coin is going and besides, I guess this is how you learn. Any feedback would be great. Thanks.

....

Hey. Error 11 is very broad but I see you are running a 5000 series Radeon card and most people had the same issue. I managed to fix it on a machine running a 5970 and another running two 5770s

The issue is mainly in your settings, primarily thread concurrency causing the display drivers to fail launching.

1. Use something like this for your .bat

sgminer --kernel darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://pool.darkcoin.io:3333 -u accountname.worker -p password -I 17 -g 2 -w 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 3200

I've found on both types of 5xxx cards if I try bumping thread concurrency any higher you will get Error 11, same with turning down worksize. I'm working on a fix for this now but in the mean time that should do it.

2. If the above fails, get the latest Beta display driver (14.1) from AMD from their website (and use the same settings)

http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop?os=Windows%207%20-%2064

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

That should get you up and running for now, it worked for 2 of my machines and a few others on this board. Let me know if you have any more problems.

I've tried changing the thread-concurrency to 3200 and tried adding the --no-adl and it still didn't work. I have the latest driver as well. Honestly though, I've tried so many different combinations of things now, I'm not sure if I tried those both in the same .bat file. I'll give it another go. Thanks for the response. I haven't created a .conf file yet but seems as if creating the right .bat file first should at least get me started. Once I settle on some settings, then I can create a .conf

Been fiddling with settings all day and still getting:

Code:

 Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram)
 Error compiling program for search.
Frontend phase failed compilation.
Error: Creating kernel search failed!
 Failed to init GPU thread 2, disabling device 2

I am using a config file. My GPUs are the following: ASUS 6990, HIS 5770 and driver version is 13.251.0.0

I just tried the latest beta display driver with no changes in my situation.

I've been following Syth's posts and their replies with interest because I've had a similar problem with the windows GPU miner (the CPU miner has been fine for me). I've tried the various suggestions as they've been offered, but no luck yet.

My error 11 gives a detailed message "cannot open source file blake.cl" that I have not seen mentioned elsewhere. I don't recognize the filename.

Oh, the graphics card I'm using is an R9 290X. I always get the same error message, regardless of drivers and changes to arguments - thread-concurrency and so forth.

Thanks for any suggestions - and perhaps something here will help Syth also.
 

blake.cl is in the kernel folder
either move it to the main folder or put the kernel path to that directory and see if that helps

Please

How about not mining in a pool with almost 900 MH/s when the network hashrate is around 1570 Mh/s?

Apparently the GPU miner can't handle pools going down? It didn't switch to backup pool, and when the first pool was up again it didn't connect to that either. Had to quit and restart it. Is it working ok for others?

For me it does.

Ok maybe it was just me and my unlucky Windows install / drivers combo / one time occurrence.

Got another wall there. Wondering if it will bounce.

Strong buy support above .0006. With the difficulty growth and other good news and growing interest I could see .0008 easily happening by the end of today.

Trades executing at .0008 now, this is exploding even faster than I expected.

Funny that you would say that...it was my first thoughts as well!  Using that ideology...group and myself are putting together the capital to start a small alt currency exchange with that exact thought process!  Being in Canada...I think it would be great that you could go to a brick and mortar office and meet the people that handle your exchanges & money...I think that is super important.  You can keep your financial affairs private...but those that handle your funds should always be accessable.... I have the beginings of a great team already that have done several banking institutional sites with ISO 9362 standards.  Missing is someone/peeps to create a great front end and logistics for the actual exchange.  Any thoughts on how this could be looked at would be great.

Your best bet for getting an exchange up & running quickly/cheaply would be to fork buttercoin:

https://github.com/buttercoin/buttercoin

It's an open-source crypto exchange.

Thanks.  It may sound a bit jammy that this site has inspired me.  It would be woefully naive of me or anyone embarking on such a task in establishing an alto exchange given the post-Mt. Gox environment to take the responsibility of others money, lifely hood and financial well being without the most critical attention to detail.  Mt. Gox is just the tip of the iceburg for what will surely be the continuation of larger hacking and system attacks.  The shear monumental task of trying to mitigate what the "Dark" (pun intended) forces of human greed and villainous nature can never be underestimated. Thus why really DarkCoin must be made...to protect ourselves from those that would strife to strip us our "property".  The building of an exchange must take these realities to heart.  I'm wondering if something like this could be partially funded by crowd sourcing?  

[HammerHedd]

Is it just me or has the network difficulty rate been bouncing around like crazy today?

I just shed a patriotic crypto tear reading that.

I think you just wrote the opening pitch on the kickstarter page...

is dark now the most profitable coin to mine?

If you want to go faster still, use gcc 4.9SVN.

I could definitely see a spike soon, similar to what happened with Vertcoin. Really happy with my decision to go with Darkcoin.

[slyA]

Has anyone taken a retrospective stroll down FUDDery lane to read the very first posts accusing this coin of being a shitty clone coin? I can hear the laugh track in my head after each comment lol.

I hope we don't spike soon. I want this to be a slow and steady build up. Spikes kill momentum. Look at vert now. It is dipping back to 1 dollar. I hope we keep crawling day by day. The limited exchange availability and lack of "troll boxing" is what is helping this coin. Currently there are mature early adopters. You wait until we hit coinedup or cryptsy. "To the moon" will be everywhere.

Im still waiting for hazard to show up, it's not truly an altcoin thread until he starts his trolling.

I am also wondering what a nice community this coin has. No "scamcoin" or "dead coin" trolls here.

They dont know it exists yet, trust me, theyre coming.
