[GPUC] GPU Coin | Mandatory Wallet Update

[flaminius]

So this is my first time using vertminer and I can not get it to work. In ubuntu 13.10 with the 14.2 cata drivers. Cgminer 3.7.1 and 3.7.3 (keccak build) run fine.

I setup the vertminer the same way i setup 3.7.3 and the configure comes back looking good. I can't get it to mine though...

Here's how I'm starting it up...

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
./vertminer -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3367 -u username.1 -p x -d 1

That gives me a supposed 680Mh/s and no accepted shares (although it doesn't say reject either). I couldn't find a specfic flag for the scrypt n algo so I tried to add in the standard scrypt flag (--scrypt). When I do that it does the completle opposite, bumping down my supposed hash to 11Kh/s and droping the load on the GPU quite a bit as well. I also start getting straight rejects as well.

No matter what I do my miners in the pool website never show as being connected either.

Any suggestions?

Highlighted area tells me you're using the wrong miner. Should be kh/s for this coin

I don't think so. I'm using this...

https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu

I believe the switch you are looking for is --scrypt-vert, as so:   vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o 127.0.0.1:6857 -u user -p x

WHy is nobody mining in these pools? is this the actual coin?

Dont want to waste my hash

[flaminius]

vertminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://gpu.suprnova.cc:4444 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password

I always got an error " error -4"

try vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://gpu.suprnova.cc:4444 -u Weblogin.Worker -p Worker password

I tried another pool. is it samething.

I still cannot login.

I got this msg:

You are mining GPUCOIN now ! Look in Getting Started for help

Did you create a worker on the pool?
Or maybe you have to check your mail for verification....

why so few 1 GPUcoin per block

Because the block reward is only 1 GPUCoin right now... we'll have to wait until tomorrow to see what happens once the block rewards jump to where they should be.

I can't seem to get VertMiner (official version) to work...
I get error and GPU disabled as soon as I launch it.

This is my config for a 280x:

What am I doing wrong guys?


Thanks.

kernel should be "scrypt-vert" I believe, and remove the "nscrypt" : true line.

I think you are trying to feed it 2 different kernels by "kernel" : "scrypt" and "nscrypt" : true

why so few 1 GPUcoin per block

At least two purposes...First is so there's no insta-mine right at launch... the second is if there's way too much hashing power with that low of a difficulty, there's a high probability of a fork / failed launch. Doing it this way gets the ball rolling before the big miners jump in.

I have create a worker on the pool. it is mining right now.

I donot get any mail for verification yet.

and when we know it is a failure or not?

Well it's technically already a successful launch.. since pools are up, no forks, easy enough to get nodes.. difficulty is where it should be.  Just waiting to hit the rewards now...

[sarcasm]When it fails. Or not.  [/sarcasm]

thx for reply

solo BAD idea ? for this diff ?

[yaboymarvo]

wow i bet in a few hours we hit block 2600

[flaminius]

perfect time to discuss miner settings while reward is so low


setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
vertminer --scrypt-vert  -o 127.0.0.1:5555 -u user -p pass -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 -l 1 --thread-concurrency 8191,8192 -Q 0 -s 2 -E 4

so what do you guys change for 280x's this get me 730kh/s each card scrypt. but only 200 and 250 respectively scrypt-n.
changing TC to 8192 for first card gets me 250,250kh/s.

what else you guys try? I hear 350 is very achievable with 280x's

waltsmith

I get 388Kh/s with each 280X with the following:

vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o 192.168.1.68:6857 -u user -p x  --lookup-gap 0 --auto-fan --auto-gpu -l 1 -g 2 -I 13 --gpu-memclock 1800 --gpu-engine 1120 --gpu-powertune 20 --thread-concurrency 8192

I'm running two Asus R9 280X TopCU

I think these cards like -g 2 and 8192 TC in general...  just gotta play with your clock speeds to tweak them for your specific cards.

You are running those cards way too hard for that hashrate. I get 386kh/s with memclock 1500 and gpu engine 1080. I also am at 0 powertune and undervolted to 1.1 volts. I am also using Asus cards, more than 1 and they are both the same. You should probably try to lower those settings since you are using a lot of electricity overclocking that much.

Mind posting your settings?

[precrime3]

If you could get some 750 tis or r9 270 gpus for us heat/noise/power sensitive miners, that be great 270x aren't worth it, even with $30 bucks off. They require an extra 6 pin for like 20 hash.

Staggered launch is good but this is extreme to wait 2600 blocks.   Also the minor to the major reward is gigantic, 1 to 20000 right.   So this is like the launch before the launch, it is a cool idea and should have been done ages ago.
Its a rolling start, I agree it seems like it'll work 'under load'
