And this algo doesnt use a lot of memory, so i dont see what is your problem...

But I don't have a 4 core CPU... 

What I do have is a gt610 in a winxp32* machine that stays running 24/7/365. (*I've also recently made the switch to live usb ubuntu to do away with the hard drives, but willing to revert if needed.) I've been desperately trying to find a miner that I can run (Lyra2rev2 especially) but apparently being a 32 bit system is making that an impossible task.

Low hash rates and negative $ profit are of no concern as long as there are valid shares being delivered to something. CCminer is just so close to perfect for this but yet still out of reach.

If this is a total pipe dream and beyond the scope of ccminer, I'm sorry to have wasted time in this topic. Alternatively, if anyone would be willing to point me in the right direction of a miner that would work, please do; I would appreciate it tremendously.

Your main problem is that you want to mine a new algo on old HW.  An older version of ccminer would probably
work but you would be more limited in your choice of algos. 32 bit PCs aren't the problem, I've got one mining
with Win7-32 and all precompiled versions are 32 bit anyway, I think the problem is XP. Compiling on Win7 and above
may no longer work on XP. Your best bet is to compile on XP, I don't know if you've tried that yet.

Due to very limited space (long story short, call it a nightmare scenario taking days to fix with physical storage I don't have, and online backup is not an option), I can't install all the things needed to run a compiler on XP. I had a go with linux but that was a separate level of hell on its own. I ended up finding a version of sgminer on XP and managed to get that working. Lyra2rev2 has been hashing all night for me and it's using openCL (at what I assume is half the speed of what CC could do), so the algo being a newer one isn't a problem.

It's frustrating being just inches away from the finish line with a brick wall in front of you.

That might be directed at me about not finding a steady algo to run, but that's just an assumption on my part.

I tend to feel concerned by what other might post  but here not sure I would take it for me, if I was in your position  )
  yeah if you are called epsylon3 that's definitely directed at you (if you are just "lost", this has to be directed at epsylon3 to get help  )

For info cuda takes about 1-2Gb (you probably still have a few free Gb's... or it is time to make some space...)

Hi,

If using 2.1 or 3.x device, are there any significant performance differences between 1.7 x86 or x64 releases?

Also, are builds built explicitly for 2.1 and upwards, or should the binary also work with 2.0 devices (but haven't been tested)?

And if I understand correctly, 2.1 devices should work an all algorithms except for neoscrypt and whirlpoolx?

Thanks!

yup - i got 'lost' djm because epsylons comment was not quoting what he was responding to ... and it didnt follow on from the previous comments - so i got confused ...

but then again - its not that difficult to confuse me ...

The x64 is only built for 3.5 5.0 and 5.2, since i removed the 3.5 from the x86 one to reduce the overall binary size (so 3.5 devices will use 3.0 code)

If you need special ones like different cuda, do it yourself :p these windows builds are very slow to be built...

I've been having some problems that I started to encounter recently. I used to be able to run this for a day or so at a time; but recently the program will close itself after a few minutes of mining.

I'm running Windows Vista 32-bit with a Zotac GTX550Ti. I'm really happy with the numbers it's pulling out when it's running, but I hate that I have to babysit it and keep opening it when it closes.

I tried using CGWatcher, but it won't hook to the API. And I also tried using Awesomeminer but it wouldn't hook into the API either. My .conf file is set up like this:
{
   "api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1,W:192.168.1.x",
   "api-listen" : true,
   "api-mcast" : true,
   "api-mcast-port" : "4068",
   "api-network" : true,
   "api-port" : "4068",
   "pass" : "x",
   "url" : "stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:11111",

As a workaround you could use a looping bat file to automatically restart ccminer if it exits.

Well I decided to install Windows 10 and now it doesn't close randomly, but I still can't connect to the API using monitor programs. I realized that the API settings I had from CGMiner wouldn't carry over here so I my original config file's API stuff is gone now and instead it now says,

"api-bind" : 0.0.0.0:4068,
"api-remote" : true

sgminer/cgminer uses json api requests (even if the simple socket mode also exists), not yet ccminer and cpuminer-multi.

I'm trying to run the miner in the background on Ubuntu, but I keep getting the error, :

Code:

Cuda error in func 'skeincoin_init' at line 711 : initialization error.

The function it references is in the cuda_skeincoin.cu file and it reads:

Code:

__host__
void skeincoin_init(int thr_id)
{
                 cuda_get_arch(thr_id);
                 CUDA_SAFE_CALL(cudaMalloc(&d_found[thr_id], 2 * sizeof(uint32_t)));
}

I tried deleting the function, I tried modifying it to follow the format of the groestlcoin file, but it never works in the background. When I run it in the foreground, the program and algo run fine.

which time the ccminer 1.7.1 will be compiled ?

Did you try other algos?

It's odd that it would work in the foreground but not in the background but that error sometimes means the
intensity is too high. Try modifying the -i arg, I have no idea what good for skein buut try number between
14 and 24.

that all depends on what he means by foreground and background ...

if by background he means '&' - then the majority of times it will not work ... dont ask me why - i dont know mate ...

and so if by foreground he means directly in console - then of course it will work ... especially if the gui is being used ...

so i just wanted to determine which way the 'background' method is ... as you would be on the nose with the '&' way with the intensities - as the card is using gpu memory for the gui and would crash accordingly when trying to access at a higher intensity ...

so i guess the question i SHOULD be asking is - what is your commandline parameters to run background? ...

#crysx

[pallas]

why do you even run it in background? just use byobu and hit F6 to exit.
it will go on as normal and you'll get back just by ssh-ing in again.
multiple windows and scrollback buffers as bonus ;-)
