BFGminer - getting 244 Khash/s but no coins!

[rshoel]

I started mining EMDcoins with cgminer on myl aptop a few days back, but it's so slow so I decided to try mining with my gaming computer. But cgminer didn't work since I got the error "0xc000007b" so I switched to BFGminer which turned out to work great, atleast I tought. According to both BFGminer and hash-to-coins.com (which I am using) I have just about 244 Kh/s, but no increased ammount of BFGminer, so.. I'm not, have no idea why.

When you have cgminer, bfgminer etc you see after the hashes A/R/HW/HU

A=accepted
R=rejected

The most important thing on the screen to track is the value of A.
This is the number of accepted shared. 
Even when your GPU's are hashing there might be a problem and you'll see A=0.
And having the highest possible hash doesn't always give you the highest amount of accepted shares.

anyway, is EMDcoins Sha-256 or scrypt? 244 isn't exactly a lot, and mining on a laptop easily breaks it.

it says   : 1.01 Gh/s : A:258 : R:3+0

well its alot for me considering that my laptop has 3 kh/s :3 with the laptop it takes me just about 24 hours to get 3 EMD, with my computer it takes 20 min to get 1

A:258 is the accepted shares, so you are generating coins. BFG miner doesn't show you the number of coins you have made, that will be on the pool website or in your wallet (for solo).

Emerald (EMD) is scrypt based.

yeah I found out there wasn't really a problem, just seemd like I had to reach a certaint amount of EMD before I could see it or something

and I know, I use hash-to-coins wallet. I can see the ammount increase no so it's ok :3

but thanks alot for replying so fast, it it was helpfull to know about the A's and R's and that this was the rejected and accepted counter

HW = hardware errors, can also be usefull to keep your eyes on and figure out what's happening.

A perfect miner would be A:12342387463 R:0 HW:0  

You can experiment in your .bat file with the Intensity to maximize your accepted value.

for example if you have 4 cards: 1 over-used, 2 used and 1 new, i would type

--scrypt pool.pool.com:3333 -u me.x -p x -I 12,16,16,18 --gpu-clock 750,800,800,900 --gpu-memory 1000,1100,1100,1200

or use MSI afterburner and in the setting unlock the sync and give every card it's own over clocking, although that's the same as the --GPU-clock/memory flags. doing them both is useless.

The goal would be to stabilize all cards at 80-84°C with highest possible accepted hashes.  Every card has it's own behavior so you can do a lot of individual tweaks to extend their lifespan while maximizing their potential.
