Hi guys need help i've 5 rigs with 5x750 Ti the hasrate is around 130MH but on nicehash it shows just 60 Mh any ideeas why?

use --diff 2

On the pool on verters the hashrate is normal i think i'll mine not rent my power

[fenomenhaa]

Anybody tried to compile the ethminer with cuda 6.5?

All binaries out  there are 7.5 (some even 7.0) and we know these cuda versions underperform at most algos and moreover maybe 750ti is fixed by compiling with cuda 6.5 as well.

I DON'T KNOW--

This stuff is deep.  The main dev said he dropped CUDA 7.0, I don't know if he went back to 6.5 or forward to 7.5.  I am solomining for the first time!  You don't have to set up a *.conf file, you just issue a command in Geth, the console-only wallet.  I'd write a tutorial, but I think I'd have to start my own string, because ethminer is neither ccminer nor CudaMiner.

I might get 25 coins a week if solo mining works.  I keep checking my wallet balance, again, by command line.  Nothing yet.  If I get my 6x280x AMD rig  rebuilt, I could potentially get a lot of ETH coins.  AMD 280x cards are rated at 24Mh/s for ETH coins, and I know how to configure the miner now.       --scryptr

Pls share how to guide and your rates with 280x, i have 15 280x waiting. quick chechked the ether project and understand nothing.it seems it takes too much time to understand.

When mining ETH has anyone worked out how to use only certain GPU's, -d does not seem to work.  Trying to just use the 970 on my mixed rig.  I have messed around but can only seem to use 1 card or all of them.

thanks a lot

any suggestions to get the pool hashrate showing the same as local hashrate when using --diff 2 does not work?  I've tried all the pools and they all report me at about 1/5 of my local hashrate.

[sp_]

Try to rebuild from gihub.  and use --diff 2

[hashbrown9000]

hmmm.  it's a freshly compiled build.  i just tried djm's miner with no diff setting and am getting the right hash at give me coins.

[lawrencelyl]

I'm using sp's build, currently mining at give-me-coins and it is showing correct hashrate without "--diff 2".

[hashbrown9000]

maybe it's the pool's way of saying "fuck you, we fixed the glitch, so we're going to fuck you over even more" ....

ETHMINER--

Ethminer is not CudaMiner or CCminer.  By default Ethminer only uses card 0.  To use specific cards, put the command:

    ex.1)  "--gpu-devices 0 1 3 4"   or  ex.2)  "--gpu-devices 2"

on the command line.  The first example I gave will skip card 2, the second will only use card 2.  Don't use commas between the numbers, that is CudaMiner or CCminer format.

I am afraid that SP_ might be upset because of the Ethminer chat, it is off-topic.       --scryptr

I disagree, this is Cuda miner bonding time... :p

That and I'm sure if this generates interest, SP will want to get in on it too. The current Ethereum miner is mainly OCL so Nvidia cards all suck compared to AMD, they aren't running Cuda code for the most part. A 280x gets 25MH/s, while a 970 gets 17MH/s... SHAME! If only there was a Cuda coding hero that could rescue us~

ETHEREUM--

Ethminer is part of a much larger networking (group computing?) package called Ethereum.  Anyway, the miner itself is a small part.

Further, the Windows compiled version (~v1.0) that CryptoMining Blog distributed has a bug that affects 750ti cards, reducing their hash rate to 1-3Mh/s from about 8Mh/s.  Mine get about 1Mh/s.  An older version, v0.9.3, supposedly still works at the higher rate, but I can't find the code or an executable. One user said he compiled it on Ubuntu 14.04, and his rig runs fine.  My 960s run fine on Windows with v1.0, but the CUDA toolkit that Gemoil, the dev, used is a mystery.  He supposedly moved to v7.5, and no longer has v7.0 dependencies.  It is not known if the miner will compile on CTK v6.5.

The code has some dependencies not used in CudaMiner or CCminer, that might be problematic for a CCminer port.

ETH mining mania is good for those who are mining VTC, diff is down to 248 again

I encountered a weird bug. When trying to mine with ethminer I get 'out of memory' when trying to start it up on one of my machines. Using the --opencl-device and --opencl-platform flags don't change anything. It refuses the use the 970s even though they show up with --list-device and obviously they have enough video memory on board.

Something else I noticed. I tried a older version of the miner and it makes a dag and then starts trying to mine with my AMD-4250 (integrated graphics). The switches for devices and platform once again do nothing. Weird thing about this, the 4250 isn't even in device manager and the motherboard isn't reporting it as it's disabled!

I noticed a cuda switch with a older version, trying that now. Either way the platform options seem to be broken.


Edit: seems the cuda switch works, however the miner eventually crashes after trying to regenerate the DAG file while it's mining. It also mines at close to nothing as utilization is through the roof. My 8350 with a handful of cards uses like 40% for 3x970s for comparison.

The coin is being hyped by some brazen blog-spammers, but the Ethereum project is bigger than all that, and appears legitimate.  If the coin (ETH) goes to a stable $3-$5 like LiteCoin and DASH, a single 6-card rig of 970s or AMD 280x cards would be profitable.       --scryptr

Right now AMD rigs are very profitable... makes me hurt inside when I think about having sold mine and downsized to Nvidia hardware. Hindsight is always 20/20 though. We'd all be millionaires if you could see the future.
