On Cudaminer.... the hash rates on scrypt jane nf are lower on windows 8 by 33%. My vista computer gets about 3.6 mh/s and my 2 windows 8 computers get 2.3 mh/s. I tried everything I could even compiling Cudaminer on windows 8. All the combinations of the arguments ect.

people still mine that? I took a look at the AMD kernel - looks like it could use some work.

My vista computer gets about 3.6 mh/s and my 2 windows 8 computers get 2.3 mh/s. I worked on it on and off for months. Still only 2.3 Angry

[/quote]

I think I found the problem. The source code is 32 bit and I can't compile it to x86. Tongue

[/quote]
lulwat ? the source code isn't anything .... Grin

ok just replace every uint32_t by uint64_t Grin

try to retune cudaminer (however it is a known problem)
[/quote]
No problem. Grin

At this point, im ready to load vista on my asrock 81 Grin

[/quote]

From what I have read the hash is normal on all os except windows 7 and 8. What is it about windows 8 that one cant get 3.6 mh/s. money flying out the window. Angry

.002 btc a day per 750ti.

Edit: anybody have any thoughts way please.

Only in this thread will you find people overclocking their coffee makers… Wink

In an AMD thread, you'd see people trying to underpower their coffee makers, and brew a full cup from half as much grounds. Grin

LOL- Nice, made me chuckle.

OK guys, I just tested Scrypt and it works fine. No corrupted screen or ticks whatsoever. Weird huh? I guess it's just the x11 miner.

Again, does anyone have the download link for the older miner? I just want to test it and see if it makes the ticking sound as well.

That is just weird, did you try underclock and undervolt to see if it helps?

actually underclock and undervolt is the answer to every problem in amd world... Grin

Bitcore (BTX) - The Future is Now

looking for opinions. selling off my 750 ti's. still want to be able to mine just in case something becomes profitable, also want to be able to rock all the new games Cool

should i get a 970 or a 980. and what is the preferred brand.

How to set backup pool for cudaminer?With sgminer,it can change to backup pool when main pool is dead.

You can't

I might have read a bit too fast (had just awaken...), it is possible for cudaminer (while it isn't for ccminer)

It's possible with the '-r' (retries=N) parameter which if set to 0, won't try to reconnect in case of a disconnect or a failed initial connection. It is also recommended to use lower than default "-T" and "-R" values. "-T" stands for maximum network timeout in seconds which is 270 by default. "-R" stands for retry pause which is 30 seconds by default and we don't want to waste that much time connecting to a pool when you can connect to another instantly. Putting that all together you get something like this:

.bat:

Quote

echo off
:start
title #1 mining on pool #1
ccminer.exe -a algo -o : -u -p -q -T 3 -R 3 -r 0
title #2 mining on dwarfpool
ccminer.exe -a algo -o stratum+tcp://erebor.dwarfpool.com:port -u

-q -T 3 -R 3 -r 0
title #3 mining on pool X
ccminer.exe ... -T 3 -R 3 -r 0
goto start

Multi-algo mining tools also solve this problem very easily. With Miner Control, for example, if a pool/algorithm it's trying to mine is dead, then it will simply kill the miner and move on to the next most profitable in line. The dead pool is flagged for a set amount of time, so it will not try to mine that pool again until the flag expires.

I don't think it is the same problem, mine just stopped working, no light no nothing...
(last time I used it, it was blinking strangely but was able to get a coffee... the next morning it didn't even turn on...)

I bet you had it overclocked.... or overused Wink

(you might find modded firmware doing that on the amd thread)
It was clearly overused, but it was sort of undervolted (a program so the coffee maker goes into idle between cups...)

this may affect profitability (as well as bad temper trolling) Grin

Happened to me recently, repaired with some Anti calcaire liquid (1€ a Carrefour Wink

I've experienced some weirdness on individual systems as well. Like one machine I configured with a free Windows Server 2012 R2 trial version simply wouldn't run cudaminer at full speed. Somehow GPU utilization never went much above 80%.

But at that point I did not care enough to investigate.

Christian

Thank you Christian. This low hash happens on my asrock 81 win 8..and hp win 8. vista works great.

is it that profitable ?
now if you want the ultimate scrypt-jane high factor experience... install linux, it is well known the hashrate is much higher on linuex

That's mostly because the video memory usage is limited to 88% on windows by default:

Code: (cpu-miner.c)

#if WIN32
   device_backoff[thr_id] = 12;
   #else
   device_backoff[thr_id] = 2;
   #endif

Which is only necessary if you're mining on your primary card.

But my windows vista gets 3.6 kh/s and windows 8.1 gets 2.3 kh/s. Its driving me crazy why. Shocked
