Vertcoin Settings/Configs (How To Mine VertCoin)

[Brainofmasses]

Im getting a error that I can´t find the source of. Maybe someone here have a idea.
Ill try to mine VTC with a MSI 7950.

When I start the modified cgminer,
It means:

Error -4: Enqueueing kernel onto command queue. <clEnqueueeNDRangekernel>
GPU 0 failure, disabling!

When I connect directly over the cgminer.exe it shows some unreal hashrates of 500 mhash and still no accepted shares.

I hope you are using the VERTMINER I POSTED ABOVE. It's the latest version. dont use anything else. Also do you have 4gb of ram or more?

I was getting that same message UNTIL I got this version of VERTMINER and added 8gb to my rig. Problem solved

Well Im using the same version like you mentioned, and yes I have have also enough ram, 4 gb are accessable with 32 bit of working system.

Just an idea but to prevent having two topics for the same thing, how about locking this one and continue in the bigger one?

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!

Let me start off by saying I know about as much about setting up miners as your great grandparents. 

I am in need of an extremely trustworthy individual that can be verified somehow to help me set up mining vtc on my rigs.  I have 5 rigs, the majority using 280x cards or 270 cards.  We will use teamviewer to set everything up, each rig will need to be setup. 

This person needs to be extremely well versed with vertcoin and mining it in order to tweak my settings to the absolute best.
Trust will be established via paypal, payment will be 50 bucks per rig or 250USD

Interested parties PM me! 

Thanks

What should be the expected hash rate for a 7990?

[clockers25]

Ive been reading in order to mine VTC that you need faster RAM.  Does anybody have a link of the exact RAM that would get the most out of my cards? 

Thanks

I Have a big problem with 4x r9 290.
One of my 4 gpu is not mining (GPU 0)
Right after running vertminer 5.3.0 graphic driver reports an error. the screen starts to blink and then screen back to normal.
But the verminer says that gpu 0 is mining at 0 khash/s.
Tried different settings with no luck.
My settings are:

--scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080 -u user.w3 -p x --thread-concurrency 24550 --lookup-gap 2 --auto-gpu --gpu-engine 800 --gpu-memclock 1250 -w 512 -I 20 --gpu-powertune 20 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 40-85 --temp-overheat 90 --temp-target 70 --temp-cutoff 95 -g 1

system specs:
i5, 8gb ram

Please help!

What should be the expected hash rate for a 7990?

We don't know yet as no one with enough RAM in their machine (4gb+) seems to have found optimal settings. With 6GB RAM in my miner, I manage to build a CL kernel that gives 500-520 KH/s on my 7990 when it's clocked at 950 mhz with 1000 mhz memory. These clocks give me 1330 KH/s for normal scrypt coins like Doge etc., and since vertcoin is supposedly performing at 50% my settings are not optimal. With my core/mem clocks, my 7990 -should- be able to reach 650 KH/s on vertcoin but so far no cookie, and I'm still not sure how very different the memory use of vertcoin is. Maybe memory speed makes a bigger difference on vertcoin than normal scrypt. I'll keep experimenting and will post the best results I find.

[roundrobin]

Ok vertcoin is definitely different than normal scrypt coins when it comes to memory speed. On normal scrypt coins with my core 950 mhz, it doesn't make any difference if I clock memory to 1000 mhz or 1500 mhz, but for vertcoin it does. My 7990 is now doing 650 KH/s with 950/1250 settings, 2048 shaders, 8192 tc, 256 worksize, 2 GPU threads. I will experiment more.

Gigabyte HD7990 @ 1.025 VDDC, running Bufius' vertminer 0.5.3
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

--gpu-engine 950 --gpu-memclock 1200 -v 1 --intensity 13 --lookup-gap 2 -g 2 -w 256 --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8192

I could not build the CL kernel with these settings when I had only 2GB RAM in the machine. It worked when I put another 4GB in for 6GB total. Maybe 4GB would be enough but I didn't get to test that as I returned the 4GB module I borrowed for the test.



Increasing memory clock gives no extra speed, just a bit higher temps and more power consumption. What's also strange is that going up to 1050 or 1100 MHz GPU clock did not increase hash rate at all, no matter if I used 1200 MHz or 1500 MHz memory clock. 950/1200 was the best setting I found. As the HD7990 is two 7970 on the same card I believe these settings should work just fine for HD7970 too.

[elixir]

could someone please help. this is my command for normal scrypt.

u xxx.xxx -p xxx  --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 --intensity 12 -Q 0

i have a vtx3d 7870 le tahiti and i get 345khash/s.

could some please tell me how to change it for vertcoin. thanks.

Thanks a lot OP! Switching from the modified cgminer to vertminer really helped.

My 280x was stuck at ~220kh/s with -I 12, as -I 13 was producing HW-errors like crazy. Also thread-concurrency 8193 didn't work at all, so I was using 6144.

Now after switching all those problems have just vanished and I'm getting nearly 350kh/s with this:
--lookup-gap 2 --shaders 2048 --thread-concurrency 8193 -v 1 -g 2 -I 13 -w 512

So thanks again, awesome job!

i am getting 320khs on Saphhire 7970 with the same settings,4GB RAM  

after sometime i am gettings 355khs,thansk alot

what parameters are you using? I couldn't get any accepted share with my 7970.

[griffinriz]

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0A

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://vertcoinheavyindustries.com:4444 -u xxxx -p xxxxxx -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-powertune -20,-20 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1000,1000 --thread-concurrency 8193

i am using exactly the same settings but you have to join some pool,write your username and pass.

fantastic help, Thank you!!!

As you can see there have only 2GB ram. Perhaps more cards RAM is important, but second is not.

And more of this CPU is on 100% because I mine Qubit coin.

Trying to get some help.  Followed the linux install guide on the main forum exactly (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=404364.0). The miner is running but I can't see any GPU stats. Any suggestions?

[ToScA-]

The best I can get with my R9 290 Tri-X OC is 50 kh/s...awful...
