Btw you are wrong with MRC block reward because it is still dropping. You should estimate block reward around ~ 16k only.

for some reason i had block reward set to 160K :p
would be nice if all the wallets gave you the current reward amount like the heavycoin wallet does

things now look like this

no there is a spelling mistake, in the #if query further down

search for this "#if MAXWELL_OR_FERMI"

you will get no results, then search for "#if MAXWELL_OR_FEMRI" and you will get a result, notice the spelling mistake?  :

Also can someone check some hashrate numbers for me for my calcs? i dont mine some so hashrates are ripped off the net, and are for 3x750Ti's

they dont all have a "Worth" because its only linked to mintpal right now. if its right, microcoin could be a very good mining venture

Thanks bigjme I found it. My hashrate is back to 3.2Mhs which is not improved over version 5.

Btw you are wrong with MRC block reward because it is still dropping. You should estimate block reward around ~ 16k only. IMHO groestlcoin is more stable to mine now. Or YAC. My i7-4770k pulls whoopy 2.5Mhs right now so our 750ti won't get any advantage anymore. I think we still have to wait for Christian to give us his magic again.

today is testing day i guess: after jackpotcoin fails for me, I tried CACHEcoin. And this is the strangest thing ever. I had it running for a while solomining just to test the speeds. Then I tried to mine on a pool. However, mining does not start, instead my GPU's do REALLY strange noises (like birds Oo). Can anyone give me a correct command line for that algo which is known to work?

I tried

Code:
cudaminer -a scrypt-jane:CACH -q -o stratum+tcp://cach.catcoin.cz:3333 -u USER -p PASSWORD

but that results in those strange noises...

It depends on your card but I will give you my config as example. GTX780 non-ti:

--launch-config T11x12 -L 2 -b 8192 -C 0 --single-memory 1 -H 2 --interactive 0 -a scrypt-jane:1388949883,4,30

And cudaminer version is important as well. 28-02 version is the best working right now.

I didn't test sgminer with nvidia kernel but IMHO it never matches ccminer performance. Someone corrects me maybe?

Btw, FYI, it seems strange but ccminerv5 works best for me with groestl. Constant 3.2Mhs, no overclock, 750ti. I have tried v5.5, v6, compiled from source, tried Compute 3.5  with #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI 1, all of this but my hashrate still drops to 2.6Mhs, no matter what I do.


did you change the spelling errors? search the 2 groestl files for "MAXWELL_OR_FEMRI" and fix the spelling to "MAXWELL_OR_FERMI"

It was correct #define MAXWELL_OR_FERMI in two .cu files from the start. I pull the source code from git a few hours ago to test so I assume Christian did fix it yesterday. My hash still drops, strange but true!

I know sg-miner is for ADM's, but in my frustration I downloaded it and ran it "as is". I only moved the files in the kernal folder into the one with the executable. I was getting registered shares and decent speed too  Shocked

Anyways now I'm back with ccminer Smiley

As of now I am stuck running sg-miner on the 750 ti's...

Thanks!

here are my settings copied directly from my bat file, even the pool

Code:
ccminer.exe -q -s 1 -a groestl -d 1 -o stratum+tcp://erebor.dwarfpool.com:3345 -u Fm6SkXvoWEGMbzh5eC5RGBLbSFErXQ3Pd7.1 -p 1

Does ccminer have failover support? Also, is it ok to run one instance of ccminer for 5 cards mining groestl, is is a separate instance and worker for each card better?

i believe so yes, not sure how though.
and i believe separate instances is still best to do for each card? but you could run this

ccminer.exe -q -s 1 -a groestl -d 0,1,2,3,4 -o stratum+tcp://erebor.dwarfpool.com:3345 -u Fm6SkXvoWEGMbzh5eC5RGBLbSFErXQ3Pd7.1 -p 1
that would work for all 5 cards, obviously change device numbers

I can't figure out my problem, which must trival as it has worked before - but now I just get some weird time-out errors; must have messed up my .bat file. When I run debug, I get this:

You tried to run sgminer with nvidia-kernel for nVidia card or you just downloaded sgminer and let it run? sgminer won't work without modifying with nVidia, this is for AMD folks. I suggest to use ccminer if you want to mine groestl with your card.

regarding jackpotcoin: I just tried it, and I got 3 x blocks, but it shows the big bad "booo!". Since the hardfork happened a short while ago, I wonder if this just means I found an orphan, or ccminer has a problem after the fork?

Did ccminer say it was accepted? I managed to find a block after block 6000 but it is orphan (not accepted). And yesterday I found > 100 blocks without any orphan so I assume ccminer won't work anymore. One of my rigs shows unrealistic hashrate (900Mhs) so I will forfeit soloming Jackpot now and go back to YAC.

Anyone able to find a accepted block with ccminer after block 6000 ?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
I don't think it could get accepted, this is really this time keccak+3rounds of whatever

ok to confirm this, as of block 6000, hashrate is over 40MH/s on a 750Ti but all submits are rejected. so ccminer does not work now

Seems very high. Mine only get 12MH/s each. And that has been finding blocks

hmm...strange. I have no idea why it gives me these numbers...there's not much you can change in the command line for ccminer, so I just use:

Code:
ccminer -a jackpot -q -o 127.0.0.1:PORT -u USER -p PASSWORD
