Feathercoin 0.8.7.0 Released - The NeoScrypt Update - Hardfork block 432,000

how is it the gpu miner never works for me, always HW errors even at stock clocks or low -I settings.....

don't forget the neoscrypt cgminer cannot work under catalyst 14.x drivers (whose are best for X11), so in order to produce shares, you have to downgrade.

[Edit]
And I downgraded to 13.1 on my PC with Tahiti (Sapphire R9 280X) and it is still producing only HW errors, so downgrading is not the ultimate solution.
I managed only the Pitcairn to do some work on older catalyst.

I assume you mean 13.12? It's the gold standard of mining drivers. I've seen this behavior while using mismatched driver versions (eg mining 14.6 Open CL libraries while still running 13.12)

Actually there may be this mismatch, as I uninstalled 14.9 with catalyst install manager, then manually deleted drivers from cards, restarted and installed the 13.1, but uninstalls tend to leave files.
But it doesn't bother me anymore anyway, as big farms are now active and on the pool I`m on are fellas with 1+Mhash on neo, top hasher has over 10 Mhash and pool didn't find block for one hour, so even they switched away from asics, it still same big guys story, just it cost much more in electric to run miners.

[Edit]
I just did the calculation, and after 6 hours on new neo-scrypt, so many farms joined, so mine mining reward is about 0.25 usd a day on 0.8 usd a day in el. costs.

cgminer.exe --neoscrypt -I 14 --worksize 48 -g 1 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.ftc.theblocksfactory.com:3333 -u TheMiner.x -p 1

this works great for me

so now it works even thou i was useing that same line...... strange. i cant seem to create a new binfile thou without hw errors, iam guessing its because iam useing 14.9 beta drivers?

I've tried 1.3.5 and 1.3.7 across multiple 14.xx drivers, Windows and Linux, and always get HW errors. 13.12 works fine and dandy on all of them. Compiled from source most of the time, but did use some windows binaries to double check.

Seems like the issue is 14.xx driver compatability.

3.7.7b doesn't work with 14.9 drivers but 3.7.5 work fine.

What kind of hash is everyone pulling? Here's some of my baseline results so far on standard +~10% OC

13.12 catalyst drivers:
r9 280x - Ubuntu 14.04: 53kh
r9 280x - Windows 7.1: 48kh
r9 270x - Windows 7.1: ~28kh

nvidia 240 drivers:
gf 660ti - Windows 7.1: 22kh

Edit: Lower the worksize, it seems to help a large amount, 16-32 seems to be right
r9 280x - Ubuntu 14.04: 79kh
r9 280x - Windows 7.1: 76kh
r9 270x - Windows 7.1: 41kh
gf 660ti - Windows 7.1: 26kh worksize 16 can't go lower =[

My 660ti reports only ~80% "power consumption" at OC so it runs pretty cool and is proportionate in hash to the other cards (the way it looks like it should be anyhow).  i.e. in x11 it would read like ~105%.

If you are on 14.xx drivers and need a .bin for your 270, enjoy: https://www.dropbox.com/s/vgvijzdv6nl08ot/neoscrypt140909Pitcairngmgc8192w32l8.bin.zip

Anyone tried sending FTC from coinotron to BTC-e? It stated that the payout has been sent but the i've checked the block explorer at that address there is no new transaction at all..
What went wrong here?

I'm about to do this with some other binaries too, but how do I specify to load them manually? It seems relatively simple but I don't see a switch in cgminer and doesn't seem to be any documentation on it? Strange.

in cgminer.conf change : "intensity" : "13", "worksize" : "24", and add : "gpu-fan" : "0-80",

all other change that fit your need.

Good Luck

Just curious, where can I find a market for vendors that accept Feathercoin?  I'm not looking to exchange for bitcoin, litecoin, etc, just for vendor selling items to accept them.  I have some that I would like to spend on something productive.

Edit: saw my transaction show up on blockchain just now after 15 hours.. so just need to wait for btc-e to reply why it doesn't get credited to my account yet..
Anyway, i'm still confused why it took more than 15 hours for explorer.feathercoin.com to show the latest transaction.
