Looking for a merge miner of some sort... Perhaps figure out what sort of combinations of algos you can put together and net a better result. Could even be a feature of your 'mega miner'.

KOPIEMTU, VertCoin, AND MobileCash--

JK_14 put together a merge-mining pair with VertCoin and MobileCash.  I don't know how successful it was, but if you look up the Kopiemtu thread, you'll find more info.       --scryptr

Zpool.ca does this already. MobileCash is using other blockchains to generete coins.
Algos that can be merged are 1 simple algo, 1 memory algo.
Simple algos:
keccak,luffa,whirlpool,decred,blake2s,blake256,vcash,skein,pentablake.
 
Memory algos:

Perhaps lyra2/lyra2v2, neoscrypt,cryptonight, spreadcoin, etherum. If you run 2 instances of ccminer I will run with the -C option. (cpu mining) to avoid blocking sync.

Try to combine one simple algo and one memory algo. Reduce the intensity on the simple algo. (2 miner instances.)

[bensam1231]

If you've tried running multiple instances of the miners it often shit itself and seems to throttle more then help out, which is why a formal implementation of some kind needs to be done. It could be I have too many cards on one system and if you have a more antiquated system it works out better... Using a 6 card 970 system, running Eth and Dcr, the two fight eachother and it leads to maybe 5% additional hashrate. It's not very clean and it doesn't work very well.

SOLO-MINING FEATHERCOIN--

I was reading in Ghostlander's thread about the difficulty they have had with the FeatherCoin wallet.  Apparently, wallet v0.9.3.1 is the recommended stable version, as versions prior to and after (v11.x has been recalled) may cause blockchain problems.  If a miner is to solo-mine, he must use wallet v0.9.3.1 to avoid this problem, and to receive proper payouts.

What I came across is this:

" ghostlander REGULAR MEMBER 10 days ago

Solo mining works through Getwork. It’s broken in SGminer still. NSGminer works fine. "

Ghostlander is referring to his special version of SGminer, NSGminer (neoscrypt  SGminer).  It is an OpenCL miner that is AMD oriented, but reputed to work with nVidia cards as well.  Ghostlander knows the workings of the FeatherCoin wallet, and also the PhoenixCoin wallet.

Whatever the code must be in NSGminer, it may fix the problems with solo-mining neoscrypt coins that CCminer has.  I am hoping a good coder could look into the code for a good patch.       --scryptr

[bathrobehero]

I had no problems solomining FTC with the 0.8.7.1 wallet with ccminer. But in the 9x wallet I had a crazy amount of orphans.

Note, Ghostlander came up with neoscrypt.

GHOSTLANDER CAME UP WITH NEOSCRYPT--

Repetition for the sake of emphasis.  Yes, that is true.  The quote was taken from the FeatherCoin forum, and the thread that addresses the wallet problems that are currently being snuffed out.  If you use the interim stable version mentioned above, v0.9.3.1,  you should not have trouble mining solo with the wallet. or with a GPU.

Which/whose version of CCminer were you using?  What was the launch syntax?  I get zero results when trying with any NeoScrypt coin.  The version 8x and 11x wallets can cause problems for the blockchain in general, it seems.  Version 9.3 was a problem, also.  My wallet instructed me to downgrade to v0.9.3.1 (I was using v0.9.5) upon launch.  Also, if you are not mining with a wallet, it may be OK to use it.  The story is spelled out on the NeoScrypt Forum in detail, too much to copy and paste.       --scryptr

Sorry sp I have no place to go but here to get help on my card 970 gtx gigabyte G1 not working.

Ok I was mining ok on my rig then I got a 2nd 970 G1 and ever since my rig won't work constantly.
Drivers crash.. ccminer crashes... ect. I tried replacing the power riser .. but still happening. It maybe a bad card I don't know. So I did a benchmark test

and this is the result. And it doesn't matter which card I benchmark .. I still get gpu 0 found nonce plus the readout of the card I'm benchmarking. I

don't know why.
My rig just crashes or ccminer and or drivers crash.
And help please... Anyone.

[Vegetablepin]

check that the sata for the riser is separate, maybe try installing just the one card and see then if it will change anything. maybe check the asic quality with gpu-z to see what comes up.

The benchmark thing may be unrelated to your problem.

Try swapping the suspect card with card 0 (in the x16 slot I presume) to see if the probkem moves.

I just ran it then activated nvidia inspector ...crash!  So I updated it a week ago but I also had trouble getting the drivers to install ... as soon as I added that card..... everything started crashing.
Gpu-z how do I check the asic quality with that?
I also had all memory clocks show 4505 on my 2x 980ti and the one 970..then I added the second one and the memory clocks showed 4505 on the 980ti and 5109 on both 970's. Like they linked up.

Looks good....before crash.

I did benchmark gpu 1 and the readout is the same and 2,3,4  ect... gpu0 nonce

EDIT: Just got net framework crash report  covering  nividia inspector JIT .. ect.
And I read the error report ... it maybe just maybe I need an app updated.
No that wasn't it.
Swapping cards... but gpu0 is not the 16x slot.

Swapping cards... but gpu0 is not the 16x slot.

I think you're going in the wrong direction. You installed a new card and your system destabilized.
You know the system was stable before but you don't know if the card is defective. That is
your first objective. You need to isolate the problem.

Swap the suspect card with whatever card just to see if the problem follows it. Try removing the suspect card to
get back to a stable system. Try removing all but the suspect card. Look for a pattern.

If the card proves ok then you can look at system problems, starting with power. Do you have enough power?
Do you have too many risers on the same rail?

There appears to be nothing in the software that has changed that could have caused it.
