Hi, about a week ago, I had some help via a couple (JamesR1 and XbladeX) of members here with some issues I was having setting up my config files. I know that this will probable seem very simple to most of you, but I am having a nightmare getting my head around it. With BlackFriday looming around the corner, I would like to get myself up and running if possible.

Original enquiry:

I have entered my BC Address via My Miner over at Blackcoin Pool.com

Here is my sgminer.conf file text:

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "stratum+tcp://blackcoinpool.com:3333",

"lookup-gap" : "2",

"tcp-keepalive" : "30",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin",
"no-client-reconnect" : true
}

Here is the text contained within the Launch - Scrypt.bat file:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
Color 0A
sgminer

I then double click on Launch - Scrypt.bat that is in the sgminer-4.1.153-v2 that I downloaded from sgminerwindows.com, but always get this error message?

All the files that are contained within the sgminer that I downloaded are these:

My card is a AMD Radeon Sapphire HD 7870

Can someone let me know what or where I am going wrong as I have been trying many different settings this evening, but nothing seems to work.

Let's have a once monthly International Blackcoin rent-a-farm day. Say, the first Friday of every month - we can call it Black Friday -Everyone who can rents a fucking GPU-farm for 24 hours and hits the Blackcoinpool. It would be a great way to bring the worldwide Blackcoin community together.

It's happening people! Black Friday has become a reality. Already on twitter @BlackCoinPromo #blackfriday

Retweet the shit out of it!

And BTdSzZBRn4wqiWgPzJtYuTgGRJB78NPfEd is the official community promo. Donate!

(and if you wanna show me some love for coming up with this idea...toss a few BC's at the BlackCoin Music Video   )

Will point all my hashrate, what is the starting time ? or anytime during friday ?

all aboard hype train to Friday....

That's cool, I'll be booking a rig to mine there.

can you tell us when it will be open so that I can tell the time when they need to start mining?

I'm sure the twitter feed will update with the precise deets. Or tune into irc. This is f'n awesome. I'm in with all I've got at home, plus a 15-20MH asic rental! Woohoo! We are the BLACK KNIGHTS! OUR SACRED OATH OF FIDELITY:
"We shall mine no coin, but BLACKCOIN!!"

Fuck it, I'm pre-gaming already! Just rented a 40MH GPU farm. I'll be hitting the Blackcoinpool in minutes with that plus 6.5Mh from home!
If I get good service from this monster, it'll be back in saddle again come BLACK FRIDAY MUTHUFUKKAAAAAAAAS!!!

That's the spirit!

edit: Multipool sitting at 665Mh/s now, awesome! Wonder if we could get it to 1Gh/s before Friday.

The army of Black Knights gathers,
its ranks begin to swell with able-bodied men from all nations,
armed in glory with fearsome rig.
One by one, they pitch their tents, sharpen their steel,
awaiting the day of battle.

Steam money for blackcoins is amazing. Also, would be an easy way to convince gamers to mine on the multipool.

May go on the group buy for the titan.

Thanks for sharing what website! If I got some spare BlackCoins I might buy some Steam money indeed

I'm not sure about that group buy. Who's going to own it?

Where are mint boys from few pages ago who spamed that it will fall to below 2000

Dont worry it will crash to 8000 and then be dumped to 20000.

yes in bin you store old configs this is normal auto creation

I dont understand PoS.  How can you get any coins if you dont already have coins?

you can only generate coins via PoS with the coins you already have in your wallet. If you don't have any blackcoins already see my post above.

I dont understand PoS.  How can you get any coins if you dont already have coins?

The best way to mine blackcoins is with the official pool. Blackcoinpool.com

In order to create new coins you simply need to hold them in your wallet for some time and allow them to stake.

In order to create new coins you simply need to hold them in your wallet for some time and allow them to stake.

In the case of BlackCoin, it will start to stake after about 24 hours in the wallet and will generate 1%/year or 1/365% per day

are you sure, I thought it was only 8 hours?

I'm definitely in a Titan group buy if we can somehow materialize that. What a simple way to reinvest back into the coin.

Here is the text contained within the Launch - Scrypt.bat file:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
Color 0A
sgminer

I then double click on Launch - Scrypt.bat that is in the sgminer-4.1.153-v2 that I downloaded from sgminerwindows.com, but always get this error message?

All the files that are contained within the sgminer that I downloaded are these:

My card is a AMD Radeon Sapphire HD 7870

Can someone let me know what or where I am going wrong as I have been trying many different settings this evening, but nothing seems to work.

Check config for errors like missing  ","  "}" last time that was my foult i just forgot "," and wasted 3h...
try bat like that:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
sgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://blackcoinpool.com:4444 -u BCADDRESS -p PASSWORD

then save config and change parameters inside
if still problems try cgminer 3.7.2 on that bat rest is optimization

IMPORTANT move /rename conf files, miners like force conf paramiters even you have deleted bins

Thank you for the reply XbladeX

I edited the Launch - Scrypt.bat to:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
sgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://blackcoinpool.com:4444 -u BDb6rUjx4hF3SwVhgyEZhZF1rfnxjsX7zv -p xxxxxxxx
pause

added pause so I could catch the error window that flashes up, which is as below:

Is a .bin file supposed to be created? In the ,bat file it looks like it is set to delete it when present in the default .bat file in sgminer?

remove --scrypt
in sgminer bat file

Hi SunnyIgor and XbladeX,

Removed --scrypt in sgminer bat file, then ran .bat again (note that I am not using the Nscrypt.bat at all) and got this error:

Current .bat file:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
sgminer -o stratum+tcp://blackcoinpool.com:3333 -u BDb6rUjx4hF3SwVhgyEZhZF1rfnxjsX7zv -p xxxxxxxxx
pause

Current .conf file:

Code:

I dont understand PoS.  How can you get any coins if you dont already have coins?

you can only generate coins via PoS with the coins you already have in your wallet. If you don't have any blackcoins already see my post above.

Should I use a faucet?

The best way to mine blackcoins is with the official pool. Blackcoinpool.com

In order to create new coins you simply need to hold them in your wallet for some time and allow them to stake.

In the case of BlackCoin, it will start to stake after about 24 hours in the wallet and will generate 1%/year or 1/365% per day

are you sure, I thought it was only 8 hours?

Minimum 8 hours. It depends on how many coins you have as well.
