@ DougB62...I'm still waiting for the fail to see if your file works. I may not be so smart...just an ass. My fingers were too quick to restart my miner. I do know tho that with your file I had to put my primary pool as the second in the command line. I'm gonna delete my comment below until I know if the kudos need to be applied.

Back in a few!

edit; tbear is right...dang it. I was really hoping dougb62 was correct. Thanks for the try; appreciate it!

No problem, and I'm busily searching for a working solution - may need something more than a simple bat file though 

It really depends on what you what you are trying to acccomplish. Just running ccminer without the -r parameter
will try to reconnect continuously. This is sufficient if all you want to do is recover from momentary disconnects.

A bat file is more useful if you want to switch to a backup pool if the active pool disconnects. This is more useful
if a pool goes down for a length of time. In that case you would specify -r 1 to allow ccminer to exit on disconnect
instead of continuously trying to reconnect. 

Regarding the problem of finding ccminer.exe from the bat file, you need to specify the entire path to the executable,
ie c:\this\is\the\path\to\ccminer.exe. If the bat file is in the same folder as ccminer.exe it might just find it without the path,
but I could be wrong.

Here we were talking about it earlier in the thread. ccminer won't do round robin work... sp needs to implement it into ccminer I think.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.msg11233494#msg11233494

Here is the problem I was having or still maybe have.
 At that time the command window was still open and if I clicked the warning window off the miner would start mining again without any problem.

round robin, loops in bat files - use miner control for ccminer (yaamp, westhash and nicehash whith selecting best mining algo and pool for current moment)

Really I need it for pool backup...but I gave up and just let ccminer try to reconnect on it's own.

I hope this question isn't off topic, I'm not aware of a cuda HW thread.

Does anyone have any experience with Gigabyte's half length 970? I'm concerned heat
would be an issue with everything crammed into half the space. If not it could be
suitable in a smaller case.

I run a Zotac 970. It is "half-length" as you describe it.

Heat comes mostly from the GPU core, (yes, VRAM and VRM's etc do generate some heat, but not like the GPU core does) so while I do not have experience with any of the longer length cards, I can say that my card works just fine. OC's decently well with stock BIOS.

is it in a case? ... or an open rig? ...

#crysx

It's in a well-ventilated case http://us.coolermaster.com/product/Detail/case/mid-tower/haf-912.html, but I sometimes just leave the side cover off. When the side cover is on, there is a 120mm fan right above the video cards.

the haf series from coolermaster are really good cases ... but i actually thought that they would be a little too restrictive with airflow and heat dissipation ...

obviously not ...

this does not include scrypt right? we need cudaminer for that? do you appear to have an improved version of that too, because the last one is from last year...

it does include scrypt and even sha256 You can try some litecoin or bitcoin solo mining

[bensam1231]

@ bensam1231     In your bat file... if westhash goes down then nicehash takes over... but if nicehash then goes down does it go back to westhash?  thx

ccminer.exe -q -a quark -o stratum+tcp://stratum.westhash.com:3345 -u  -p x -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3345 -u  -p x

Yes, it's failover. When westhash comes back up it should switch back to it, unless failover in ccminer is different from sgminer.

[Zels]

There is no Failover in ccminer/cudaminer.
Miner will stay on the pool he is until pool goes down or your restart miner yourself.

Try MinerControl if you want some kind of "failover"

I think it is...not sure.

place the bat file in directory with ccminer. Make link to desktop and run it.

I have optimized scrypt too. from 260Khash to 282khash on a standard clocked 750ti. launch config  -l 5x24.

8% faster, but not profitable, so why bother..

[Schleicher]

place the bat file in directory with ccminer. Make link to desktop and run it.

Or use something like this:

Code:

C:
cd \Users\Klaus\Downloads\Release50
:start
ccminer.exe -a quark -r 3 -R 5 -o stratum+tcp://first.pool.example
ccminer.exe -a quark -r 3 -R 5 -o stratum+tcp://backup.pool.example
goto start

But when you use BAT files then ccminer is stuck at the backup pool, even when the first pool comes back online.

I believe the extranonce size message is new but normal. The ctrl-c crash is a problem that was
introduced in a recent release. There is some discussion about it earlier in this thread, around the
time the problem first appeared. It would be nice if it was fixed.

ccminer does not support failover. A bat file can implement a crude failover mechanism but
it won't revert when the primary pool comes back online. it will only switch when the backup
disconnects. As such it will only guarantee that it will keep trying until it finds a pool that works
and will stay on that pool until it fails.

Such a bat file is useful when the pool supports profit swicthing among various algos.

Real failover handling for ccminer requires a non-trivial script or application that will monitor the ccminer
process and the pools to determine when a pool fails and recovers and take appropriate action.
You might want to take a look at Minercontrol. I've never used it but I believe it can manage failover
with ccminer.
