A friend of mine has a little problem

See pictures:




What is he doing wrong and get all these invalid shares ?

Your overclock is too high, memory is messed up, or thread_concurrency is too low (but it shouldn't be).
For some reason too if I use cgminer to mine with I get invalids for my 69xx cards, but if I use reaper it's fine.  No clue why this is.

Also enabling stratum will reduce stales but not invalids.

Also your GUI is way larger than mine, I'll have to figure out why that is (it's supposed to be smaller by default).

Hmm sorry guys, seems like stratum got locked up there for a few minutes. All is normal again 

[Nicksasa]

What can I say ..

Congratulations !

Sorry for being noobish and lazy however I have tried to find my problem and with no luck.

Problem: I think its b/c of stratum and I have a minerd.exe working but not when its pointed to your pool.


version 2.10.5
minerd.exe -q --algo scrypt --retries  1 --scantime 5  --threads=2 --url http://notroll.in:6332/ --userpass XXXXXXXXX:XXXXX

I do connect and the cpu is showing its at 100% throttle with the taskmanager. However



Its continues on with:
LONGPOLL detected new block
LONGPOLL detected new block
LONGPOLL detected new block

I check on my miner on the W/S and its not showing any hashs...
                                

I have this on my laptop however my other computer is mining away using cgminer and a gpu. Working as it should.

How would I need to change the command line to include stratum on a minerd program I'm using.

Thanks

You'd have to use stratum-proxy but for a "slow" cpu it doesn't change much.
minerd.exe -o http://notroll.in:6332 --userpass xxxxxxxxxx:xxxx -t 2
That should be more then enough, and it should be showing your current hashrate on each thread .. (but i see you were using -q so it was quiet, better leave that out and see if it is actually reporting hashrate and displaying submitted shares), btw that version 2.10.5 is a cgminer version, not minerd.

[MooC Tals]

Yes your right. I removed the -q and it shows the hashrate and it is accepting shares. Strange But it works now.

Thanks

Shouldn't that be put out as a bug?

Oh yea that was the cgminer folder I read it from. The minerd was from scryptminer program.

[MKEGuy]

So is it 6332 or 3333 we should be connecting to?

[MooC Tals]

I think 3333 is for reaper with a proxy with the stratum but I user 6332 with my minerd.exe

[MKEGuy]

I've been using 6332 with cgminer and 7 7970's and it seems to be working.  I just wanted to make sure I am where I should be.  Information seems kind of conflicting.

https://notroll.in/index.php?page=help

Thats where I was getting my info: in red

Miner Configuration

URL: http://notroll.in (for reaper use notroll.in)
Port: 6332
Username: your_username.1
Password: 12345

For stratum, use atleast cgminer 2.10.3 and point it at stratum+tcp://notroll.in:3333
Latest cgminer binaries can be found here http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/
You can also use the stratum proxy from here and run it as miner_proxy.exe -pa scrypt -o notroll.in -p 3333 and then connect your miners to http://localhost:8332 with your normal worker/password.

because problem is not in the server itself, i believe its connection. vardiff should decrase not only cpu/mem usage, [which is not the problem if anyone can get a full hashrate] , but also significantly decrase network traffic.

I have the same issue as you. I've been monitorin my miners and they'll drop to 50% speed every 2 minutes or so for a couple of seconds. Apart from the loss of hashrate, also thermally this is really bad for cards.

I have this problem as well, is there a fix?

I found that too, assumed it was intensity up too high or put the gpu on auto along with the fan in cgminer options g> c> a> f/g

edit : Also keeping it in a cold garage helps too;

yup, loosing  10% hashrate is not good , and thermaly killing gpu's  neither.
couldn't find a fix, changed pools,  made a comparison https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=153431.msg1628997#msg1628997

[Nicksasa]

I'm looking into it ... stratum-mining doesn't exactly handle well with a lot of hashrate on it, it seems ...

Also "found" another bug, but that's really a litecoin bug (because it's outdated). Stratum on the US server was down for 4h.
Using getblocktemplate at the same time litecoind is processing a new block is a big nono, stratum hardlocks and I have to -9 it ...

[MooC Tals]

The best pool out there!!  Thanks.

[yochdog]

May I humbly request a couple additions to the use stat page?  (also know as "home"?)

I would love to see the following:

-combined hash-rate for all workers (entire account)
-total income generated per worker  (this would fit nicely next to shares) 
-projected next difficulty


I would really appreciate that!

let me know.

I am very new to mine litecoin. I just mined with cgminer 2.11.2 tonight at notroll.in in Stratum manner, however, there is no share and no hashrate speed from the status of notroll. But it was ok when I mined with reaper last night, and I got shares and coins rewards.

So what is the problem?

You should post your command line here along with your conf file

cgminer.exe --url -- so on

and cgminer.conf in your cgminer folder. I think that will make it easier for someone to guess and give suggestions on how to proceed.
