you dont have anything setup to remote control the box?

I had TightVNC on a Windows 7 machine working great, But for some reason Windows 8.1 on that machine doesn't like it and black screens every time I tried

Why not call a friend and ask them to check in on your place to see if it is secure.

When you get home buy an IPcam and install it where you can see your rig, so that you can log onto it from your phone to look in your place to see if all is ok for when you are away next. You can set them up to record and have motion detection also.

Buy and install a motion detection alarm that calls you from a cheap mobile phone if anyone enters your home while you are away.

Order yourself a pizza for delivery and wait to see if they call back to say no answer, whats going on ? If after an hour there is no call you should call the pizza place back and say where is my pizza. If they say it was delivered and paid for then some one is in your home eating a pizza probably.

You can do the same with a taxi / cab,

Call your landlord to say you had a call saying you had been broken in to, you have called the police could he go and wait for them to arrive .

May be your rig is just malfunctioning, or the place is on fire because it overheated and the building is burning down.

I would not worry too much if you had been broken in to I am sure you would of had a call by now, and the insurance will pay for you a brand new rig in that event or if there has been a fire.

I thought about quite a lot of what you said but couldn't really set up most of it due to the place being a temporary living space, So stupidly took a risk.

i bet your gf's mother planned all this. she lured you away from your rig with her doughter and a moment you turned away, distracted - all your money belong to them. oo

I'm sure you're right

I don't think if somebody took your rig then turn it on and mine with it...
Most likely a malfunction. System reboots continuously and sometimes got a minute to mine before that. Or a card failing and cgwatcher restarts it. Something like that.
Next time use something like Teamviewer. That's a nice remote app that needs no port forwarding, only a few clicks to run. I even use it from my Android phone.

No I don't think anyone would purposely mine with it, It's set up to start automatically when the power cuts etc, So if they took it elsewhere and booted it, Then it will start mining straight away.

Teamviewer work on Windows 8.1 ?

For the future, use something like VNC or http://www.splashtop.com/ to log in remotely.  I use splashtop to log in from my phone from home to check on the miners. 

For several days one of my miners was crashing at 9:0am ever day.  CGwatcher wasnt even restarting it.  I had to log in a give it a kick to get working again.  no clue what the problem was. 

Thing is I've been monitoring the rig everyday for weeks/months and it's stable as fuck, Never overheated or crashed , It's reliable which is why I know something's wrong. But I hope you're right.

Hey guys, looks like something obviously happened while I was asleep, looking into exactly what it was right now, but need to board a plane in an hour, so might be a bit before I have a detailed explanation. 

Our servers have been looking a bit on the stressed out side over the past few days, and was the first thing on my plate when I get back, but I don't think they would have hit critical load yet (then again, maybe someone attacked us briefly and pushed it over the top?)

Whats more odd is why it would come back up with no change from me.

[vladman]

Perhaps slightly off topic, but just wanted to check if anyone's come across this...

My main PC (this one I'm reading this forum from) uses Windows 7 SP1, and cgminer 3.7.2 with CGWatcher.  It all works fine, but recently I switched to using Chrome (having used Firefox before), and have now noticed that whenever I maximise (or have it open in a window - not maximised) Chrome, my hash-rate drops significantly.  Normally, it's at around 745 Kh/s, and with Chrome on top, it drops to about 680-700.  Minimise Chrome (or shut it down) and the hash rate goes straight back up, nearly instantly.  It's repeatable, and it's definitely Chrome affecting the hash rate.  I haven't noticed this with Firefox, but the reason I switched to Chrome was my tabs-fetish was getting out of hand (I was using groups in Firefox, and had something like 40-50 tabs open per group and about 5-6 groups, yes, I know, insane  ).  So now I'm trying a tab-diet, and have only about 20 tabs open in Chrome, but it's doing this weird thing.

Has anyone come across anything like this, anyone here specifically uses Chrome and CGWatcher/cgminer, and can perhaps do a quick test?

Weirdly, I googled this, and found a couple of threads on other forums where people were experiencing THE EXACT OPPOSITE issue, in that their hashing rate INCREASED when they had Chrome open, and would drop with it minimised or closed.

 

P.S.  Waffle, you rock.

It has something to do with gpu hw acceleration in chrome or ff. Maybe chrome uses more gpu resources when in fullscreen.

If your intensity is high you will see a drop doing anything, If you want to use it while mining drop the intensity.

All night long rig worked for free  

Nope. And even if that was the case, it's YOUR fault for not having a failover pool set up. Learn to mine or leave.

Is there a place in here to mark people as idiots?  Because you are one.  A prick too.
Please explain in your own words how a failover would help in this situation.

If your intensity is high you will see a drop doing anything, If you want to use it while mining drop the intensity.

Or you can use the integrated graphics. I use my work computer that way with 2 amd cards mining on I18 and my system is still snappy. I put a dummy plug to one of the AMD cards because you can't control the cards without it (only stock clocks and fan speed). On win8 it is more of an issue. Win8 won't load the driver if you don't have a monitor (or dummy plug) plugged in.

I would appreciate If you add Zeitcoin. It would boosted the hashrate and profitability.

The "ignore" button works almost as well. And it is wonderful!

@tblack and The Fat Miner.

Intensity is 13 (it's a 280X card, and 13 seems to suit it well).  I can do pretty much everything else (bar watch full-res youtube videos), and it works fine, it's just that I recently noticed this issue with Chrome.

Another forum member helpfully PM-ed me and also suggested switching HW acceleration off, which I've done, and it's helped a lot, although it's disabled some things in Chrome (Google Maps are now in "Lite" mode, for example, no 3D imagery).

I thought it would be great if I could set it all up so that the integrated graphics is used for desktop, browsing, etc, whilst the 280X mines unhindered, but not sure how to go about setting this up.

edit: Oh, I think I know what you meant tblack.  Just connect the monitor to the integrated graphics DVI, as opposed to the 280X.  Simple.   I may well try this.

[tblack]

First, go to the bios and set integrated to primary. Then you can plug it.

But you'll need a dummy plug to oc, or control the fan.

This is my setup. I use 2 monitors and the 3rd one is set to the lowest resolution. That's one amd card with the dummy plug. I put it there so I won't be accidentally move my mouse there.

that dummy plug works with r290?i mean can i use igpu with r290?

[The Fat Miner]

Teamviewer work on Windows 8.1 ?

Yes, that's what I use

Cool, Thanks for the info, Don't suppose you know if teamviewer hits the gpu at all ? Because I know TightVNC is supposed to not affect it, I don't have integrated graphics so it's not an option.

[DrunkenDonkey]

that dummy plug works with r290?i mean can i use igpu with r290?

Nope, you have to use real monitor cable and a real monitor. Good is most monitors have more than 1 port, use something hdmi and dvi

[Orpheeus]

Hi everyone i have a question :

I have 4 rigs :

-Two with 1500 kh/s
-Two with 2250 kh/s
 For a total of approximatively 7500 kh/s

I have used d=1024 for all of them, but i think (im not shure) i get less BTC than before with the difficulty of 512 ...

Should I get back to d=512 ? Can someone explain me what does that change ?


Thanks a lot guys

my monitor has 3ports:1 analog,1 dvi,1 hdmi .I plug top r290 to dvi port with dvi to hdmi adapter and plug the igpu to hdmi port.After i start pc with igpu windows 7 saying there are no amd drivers installed and they dont work

d only sets the frequency of your machine contacting the pool server.
No connection to hash rate or earnings rate except on really slow machines setting too high can lead to orphans.

no, but sometimes when i connect i see the main card drop a few kh, but then creeps back up to its normal rate.

Which coins exactly we have involved with coinmarket.io incident?

Reddcoin, Karmacoin, Penguincoin and Mintcoin?
