not yet, but could be added as a new param, you see the result number when "-i" is set (decimals accepted)

is that the x-intensity on cgminer ?

that's the problem, I never understood what exactly cgminer is doing with those numbers, I think it would rather be the raw intensity

[italeffect]

also, what's the default -i value when one is not specified? I've been testing a few so far and 18.4 seems to be the best of those I've tried so far.

The default "-i" value varies per algorithm.  For x11, it is currently 20.  There is a listing by the author, tpruvot:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dI1Cc3JhhsA-UdIRlndvQ9huX8FmoJT2TXFDB0wdp54/edit#gid=1086083191

For x11, I get good results with "-i 20.5".       --scryptr

Thanks for this. So far I seem to get the most using 18.4 = 19,145 vs. 20.5 = 19,120 or no i param = 19,125 kh/s.

these are mine at 'stock' settings with -i 20.5 - it seems to be doing the best at the moment ...

i am unable to OC these cards under linux ( fedora 19 ) that i am aware of (without flashing firmware or the like ) ... unless someone can shed new light on that? ...

this is a 6 x gigabyte 70ti oc machine running fedora 19 with the latest nvidia drivers in the repo ( kmod-nvidia-3.14.23-100.fc19.x86_64-331.67-1.fc19.19.x86_64 ) and kernel ( kernel-3.14.23-100.fc19.x86_64 ) ...

the other machine ( 5 x gigabyte 70ti oc ) is doing approx the same hashes per gpu ...

may-be using ccminer (as well as an algo would help)
now if it is ccminer and x11,you are probably using a version which doesn't support compute 3.0

[baristor]

what kindof algo are we talking about ? Its ccminer and windows what is x11 ?

So i tried with different pool now getting the foll

pool0.btcdig.com:3333 x11 bl ock 335183

Baristor-

The miner that is in your previous post's command line is sgminer:

"I keep getting the following : sgminer -o stratum+tcp://pool.profitcoin.org:3893 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword "

You did not specify a mining algorithm in the above command line.  Each class of coin will have its own mining algorithm, like scrypt for Litecoin and SHA256 for Bitcoin.  You need to read some tutorials.  Google "CryptoBadger", or the name of the coin you are trying to mine.

This is a ccminer thread, for nVidia GPU cards.  Sgminer mostly works well on AMD GPUs, with some exceptions.   Not all ccminer versions will work on a GTX 670 card, they have older chips.      --scryptr

sgminer requires that you set the algorithm that it will be mining via -k x11mod ( as an example ) with other parameters to get it mining ...

BUT - as far as i know ( and guys in the know please help here ) sgminer is an opencl miner - which will work - but not well on nvidia ( cuda based ) gpu ...

i have both ... so with nvidia gpu - i use ccminer ... with amd gpu - i use sgminer ...

nvidia gpus are built with different chipsets - so different 'compute' instructions are required ... which means that different ccminer's are required for the type of gpu you have ...

as djm34 posted - you will require to specify the algorithm ( that the coin you are trying to mine ) is using AND get the compute 3.0 ccminer ... ie ccminer30 ( .exe if you are using windows )

if its say - granitecoin ( shameless plug - so sue me ) - then you will need to specify the kernel to be used which is in this case -a x11 ( the algorithm parameter for ccminer ) ... if it were feathercoin for instance - the kernel for the algorithm is -a neoscrypt ...

so you command line would look something like this ...

./ccminer -o stratum+tcp://pool.profitcoin.org:3893 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword -a x11 ( plus any other parameters you require after that - but stick to the basics first as a beginner ) ...

or ccminer30.exe -o stratum+tcp://pool.profitcoin.org:3893 -u Weblogin.WorkerName -p WorkerPassword -a x11 ...

if you use ccminer that is compiled for a different compute than yours - you will get wild hashrates and NO accepted shares ...

so ... two questions ...

what coin are you mining?
which ccminer are you using?

i hope this helps - at least a little ...

bro r u guys stupid... ?



The above posts I made refferred to cc miner with the algorithm.

I Just wnna know about that cpu nonsense keeps coming when i try mining profitcoin 1st graph( the cpu ! kh/s ) and now i switch pool to another pool for bitcoin for the 2nd graph frm cmd giving kh but thats it no shares showing...

At the moment i get something like this
Starting stratum on stratum+tcp ~~
1miner thread started, using 'x11' algorithm.
Stratum difficulty set to 20
66.55.92.73:8000 x11 block 508972
GPU #0 GeForce GTX 670, 2216kH/s

And thats it.. it just shows the block and gpu again n again no news about shares or anythin sum1 in the know pls tellme what i am doing wrong...or if i am doing sumthing right

after WE try and help you 'bro' ...

after YOU post that you are using SGMINER in the very first post and THEN ask 'what is X11?' ...

mate - i dont know where you are from - but here in australia - we help people the best way we can and the best way we UNDERSTAND from what YOU have written ...

stupid huh?

if WE are so stupid - what the hell are YOU doing here asking the bloody questions in the first place ...

sorry my bad din c but ne ways gt it all working nw

but no shares it just shows block n kh/s

[grendel25]

anyone else get frequent crashes?  I run on three separate win8 rigs and all occasionally get a pop-up window saying the ccminer.exe stopped working.  Or, sometimes it stops working without a pop-up window.

It's not bad but of course very noticeable when the original/slower ccminer doesn't crash at all.  And the crashes aren't too frequent but at least once in 24 hours so I check it daily.  I know I could do some other monitor things or just set it to restart every 12 hours but... I'm lazy!  And... just wanted to bring it up for any discussion.

thx

hey chrys can u tellme whats wrong ?

cc miner now goes like this

Stratum difficulty set to 20

GPU #0: GeForce gtx670 2222 kh/s
GPU #0 ~~~~
66.55.92.73:8000 x11 block 509105
GPU #0 ~~~~

Does this mean it is working properly ? Coz miner is not showing  active on site.

Also stratum connection timed out
Stratum connection interrupted - every 2 mins.

ur cc miner wont open without a batch , ie it will open and quickly close itself.

on the bat file i got sumthing like this -o stratum+tcp://pool0.btcdig.com:3333 -u 1234 -p 123

from what i can see ( and what i understand - please correct me if im wrong guys ) you are connecting to a pool that mines bitcoin directly as a pool ...

this means that you are trying to mine using the btc algo - which is sha256 ...

as far as i know - ccminer does not have that algorithm in its arsenal of algo's ...

i just did a --help on the compiled linux version and the list of algorithms is as follows ...

  -a, --algo=ALGO       specify the hash algorithm to use
                        anime       Animecoin
                        blake       Blake 256 (SFR/NEOS)
                        blakecoin   Fast Blake 256 (8 rounds)
                        deep        Deepcoin
                        dmd-gr      Diamond-Groestl
                        fresh       Freshcoin (shavite 80)
                        fugue256    Fuguecoin
                        groestl     Groestlcoin
                        heavy       Heavycoin
                        jackpot     Jackpot
                        keccak      Keccak-256 (Maxcoin)
                        luffa       Doomcoin
                        lyra2       VertCoin
                        mjollnir    Mjollnircoin
                        myr-gr      Myriad-Groestl
                        nist5       NIST5 (TalkCoin)
                        penta       Pentablake hash (5x Blake 512)
                        quark       Quark
                        qubit       Qubit
                        s3          S3 (1Coin)
                        x11         X11 (DarkCoin)
                        x13         X13 (MaruCoin)
                        x14         X14
                        x15         X15
                        x17         X17 (peoplecurrency)
                        whirl       Whirlcoin (old whirlpool)

i could be wrong - but btcdig.com is a stratum server for sha256 ... and ccminer ( if you dont specify an algo ) defaults to scrypt ...

what you need is one of the other miners that they list on their website ...

can anyone verify this please? ...
