Anyone here been mining on p2pool?  I have not been able to get any accepted shares using sgminer.  All I get is difficulty changed in sgminer.  I have tried changing the value in config file.

Thanks

It's working. What value have you tried to change? What is your setup? May be you post your config or a screenshot.

Here is my config file.

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"name" : "p2pool",
		"url" : "http://192.168.1.14:9171",
		"user" : "VwV2J84P8mQggWgUv8ubCf6nJuAXHNoUce",
		"pass" : "1234",
		"priority" : "0",
		"no-extranonce" : true,
		"profile": "Lyra2REv2"
	}
],
"profiles" : [
	{
		"name" : "Lyra2REv2",
		"lookup-gap" : "2",
		"algorithm" : "Lyra2REv2"
	}
],

"kernel" : "Lyra2REv2",
"xintensity" : "64",
"worksize" : "64",
"shaders" : "2048",
"failover-only" : true,
"no-submit-stales" : true,

"api-listen" : true,
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"api-network" : true,

"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"

}

DragonSlayer,

I wonder if this config works elsewhere besides p2pool?
I don't know about experimental "xintensity", mine works fine just with "intensity" setting. Try 19 or 17 depending on a card.
Also, not knowing what card do you mine on, your memclock setting looks quite strange to me (too high).
And does your p2pool connect to nodes without a problem?

I am using 280x's.  The p2pool is working as I have a NVidia rig connected.  I have used several settings, even stripped down to basics.  I will give intensity a try this evening.  I am really confused as I used old vtc config and adjusted it to lyra2rev2.

Thanks

lookup gap isn't used for sure, it shouldn't be there (don't think it will help though),
you should try without using the config file using only basic command line and see if it changes anything

This is as far as I get no matter what.

Update!

I've successfully installed Linux Catalyst 15.7 drivers on the PIMP mining platform adapting the instructions located here: https://www.reddit.com/r/getpimp/comments/294uie/add_amd_146_drivers_and_djm34s_optimized_sgminer/ and using http://www2.ati.com/drivers/linux/amd-driver-installer-15.20.1046-x86.x86_64.zip for the new source.

Happy to report I got my 6970 card hashing away at 1.8Mh with no hardware errors.

Time to tweak and get the max hash rates.

Thanks everyone for pointing me in the right direction!

[DragonSlayer]

Nothing that I have tried will work on p2pool or give-me-coins.  Does anyone have a working config for 280x on give-me-coins pool?  I just don't understand why this is not working.  Oh, I guess another idea, any other place to pick up Win binaries?

3GH/s you are not running on the lyra2rev2 algo for sure.
You have a typo somewhere... (did you try to follow my advice and runs only the command line without the conf file ? ... probably not)

[jkminkov]

Hi guys. With 10.0.1642.5 amdocl.dll from 15.4 beta win32 in sgiminer folder my 5850 hash  around 1.6 mh/s. (my system win 7 64bit  driver installed 14.7 version 14.200.1004.0
 and this config
           r9 280x, 5850

make a bin for r9 280x with system keep it. Then make a second bin with amdocl.dll from 15.4 32bit. Make sure you have the same intesity. something like this

upload Cypress bin somewhere

Yes, I used a very basic config file and just command line.  Working a half day today, so I will tinker with it more this afternoon.

[djm34]

a version working with older nvidia cards (at least compute 3.0) has been released: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=826901.msg12205659#msg12205659

I narrowed my issue down to Windows 10.  I still have not found a solution.  I copied the sgminer folder to Win 7, and it fired right up.  I even tried to use the bin from Win 7 and still no go.r

you can still go back to your previous system, it isn't too late... 

so far I have attempted to upgrade twice to windows 10 (and downgraded after a couple of hour each time)

Vertcoin is more mining profitable from other coins

Soon we expect to pour a few thousand coins to exchange, maybe the price ... little down from now  

[Klarisskin]

This is true. But Ethereum mining is 10 times more profitable than even VTC at the moment. All my 64-bit rigs are switched to it at the moment. I'm mining VTC on the only one that is 32-bit.

Perhaps use a 14.x catalyst driver. I could not get any results using the 15 series drivers. The nice hash website says to use a 14.4 driver or all you will get is hw errors as I recall without looking it up. I am running windows 7 64 bit but when I went to change the driver to 14.4 all I could see was a 14.1 one. I used that and am now getting 3.31 mh/s.

206% average percent? 
The pool finds only a half of blocks, or a half takes itself (joke)!

this is the time it took to find that blocks compared to the average time...
