I disagree with your statements mate, painful to read...clearly you're the owner of a gazillion 7950s and don't want descentralization and prefer a hard fork instead.

Have fun raping this coin.

no one knows why I can't mine?

post your current config settings and your rig details

My pc:
AMD FX 8320
G.Skill 2x4GB RAM DDR3 1866mhz
Shappire Radeon HD 7950

The config:

Code:
ultracoinminer -o stratum+tcp://ultra.nitro.org:4337 -u x.x -p x --scrypt-jane --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388361600 -w 256 -g 2 -I 12 --thread-concurrency 16384 --no-submit-stale --expiry 10 --scan-time 1 --queue 0



Ok Albert, first your config is for nitro.org pool but you are looking on nitro2.org pool. for results. Completely different pools.
First shut your rig down, by that I mean kill the power completely and wait a bit before restarting. The drivers need a reset.
Is your dual bios switch on the card on (lit up blue) or off (no light). The blue light needs to be on for those config settings to work. Also add some parameters for that card. --gpu-engine 1040, --gpu-memclock 1250 is enough. Also set a --gpu-temp about 72. If this does not get you hashing near 100kh/s then add look up gap 3 and should give you about 70kh/s

Same problem...

Actually he is connected to nitro2 the URL does not make a difference only the port. But I think he needs to drop intensity to 11 as his card is generating hardware errors only. Not sure about the specifics of his card, but some 7950's are not like other 7950's this seems weird but it's true. My sapphire 7950's have outperformed my HIS 7950's for some reason on the same settings. 
I tried and it's the same to put 11 or 12

How do I verify that I have activated POS correctly?

I typed the relevant stuff in to the console, hit enter, it went green, followed by an empty line, and that's it.

Not sure if it is working or not.

Thanks!

In console, type "getmininginfo" (no quotes), and in the listing you should see:  "hashespersec" : #.  If # is 0 then something was done incorrectly, otherwise you will see a number.

 My bad...you should also see "generate" : true.  Then you are doing POS.

"setgenerate" true is for cpu solo mining, for pos you just need to unlock your wallet. Make sure you encrypt wallet with a password and then go to debug console and type "walletpassphrase" xxxxxxx "999999999" true  (xxxx is your password with no quote marks) you will have to retype this if you close your wallet, and no coins will be generated by pos until coins remain in your wallet for 365 days without being moved.....!

To see if pos is activated just look at the lock icon on bottom right corner of wallet it should look unlocked. Also just hold your mouse over it and it should say "wallet is encrypted and UNLOCKED"

Oh my...you are correct, Sir.  Thanks for correcting me.  For some reason I had CPU mining on my mind.

Maybe somebody can code a program that gives you the values and automaticly compensates for N factor changes? or would this be a giant coding job?
automatically gives you what values? like changes your configuration/settings based on n factor?

yeah for example i say i have a r7950, and it provides my with my settings every time the N factor changes

Actually, I already know how to do this, and am working on implementing it into YACMiner (which can be configured to mine ultracoin).  I don't need a central database of cards, it's based on the math needed to do the calculations, and the information available to the mining software from each card. 

If you're a developer, you can look at my chacha-flexible branch on my github https://github.com/thirtybird/yacminer - it re-implements the scrypt-chacha opencl kernel without using the lookup gap as a compiler directive for the opencl kernel, and uses a parameter instead.  This means the mining software can try different lookup-gaps without recompiling the opencl kernel.  Also, over the last few months, I've changed how you configure YACMiner to be more aligned with numbers that people understand - i.e. how many megabytes of GPU memory do you want to allocate?  (Instead of "thread-concurrency"...). Once it had this number, either from BS or TC/LG, and the N factor, it can generate a chart for how many GPU hashes it can launch simultaneously, and pick the best one based on how each LG compares to the next one down.  It won't be perfect because overclocking can change the numbers, but it should eliminate HW errors for people at all N factors.  I'm calling it easy-mode, and hoping it will be within 5% of optimal settings, but I don't have any really high end cards to test it on.

GPU mining at higher N factors is great, so long as you have the information on how to do it, and I've been trying to help people get there, they also have to have realistic expectations.  Nobody is going to get 900 KH/sec mining YACoin on any card without being all HW errors.  That's a hard perception to fight - as posts age and users see these numbers from previous N factors and want to know why they can't get those numbers even though N has incremented five times since that post.

UTC will benefit from those of us who have pioneered with YACoin because we've been there, and done that, and know how to help you do the same without the pain of being the first people to do it.  Delaying N-Factor increases will certainly appeal to folks who've invested in high end Radeon R9 hardware, because they'll stay at the top of the heap, but the higher N factors will allow people to choose lower priced hardware that consumes significantly less power and still do a really good job mining.

@ albert, still connected to nitro 1

stratum+tcp://ultra2.nitro.org:4337

edit the conf bat file with above address, save. Delete your bin file and start again  Wink

Could you put your config?

i mean as an ultracoin service Smiley

yes that could be done. might be better to generate conf files on the website - enter your config, display the proper settings. easy to set up and maintain, doesn't have to be distributed.

I think it'll work for multi gpu setups as well...just have a 64bit OS and enough ram, say 8gb-16gb.

I actually know how to tweak for each N factor thanks to Thirtybird, the yacminer developer.
His readme cover this perfectly fine.

In theory, it would work.  Certainly for single card.  I don't think all the rules always hold true when you get up to 4 card rigs though.  I think through at least 2 cards, most things stay consistent rig to rig in most cases, though.

Like an autotune? Which will account for NFactor as it will have to readjust to find new optimal settings? Gosh that would be nice huh...
