I'm trying to make a batch file that restarts ccminer when it crashes, cause I cant figure out why it crashes. But cant get this command to work. Now I'm stuck :/

SET AppName=ccminer35
SET ExeFile=ccminer35.exe
SET ExePath=C:\Users\Mining\Desktop\ccminer-v0.5\x86\

SET KillIfRunning=0
SET KillIfNotResponding=1
SET KillIfUnknownStatus=1


SET StartOnlyIfKilled=1

SET KillStatus="%TEMP%KillStatus.tmp.txt"
SET Success=0

ECHO Killing existing %ccminer35% instance...
IF {%KillIfRunning%}=={0} CALL :CheckKillStatus "%ExeFile%" "RUNNING"
IF {%KillIfNotResponding%}=={1} CALL
:CheckKillStatus "%ccminer35.exe%" "NOT RESPONDING"
IF {%KillIfUnknownStatus%}=={1} CALL :CheckKillStatus "%ccminer35.exe%" "UNKNOWN"
ECHO.

IF {%StartOnlyIfKilled%}=={1} (
   IF {%Success%}=={0} GOTO End
)
ECHO Restarting %AppName%...
START "%ExeFile%" "%ExePath%%ExeFile%"
ECHO.

IF EXIST %KillStatus% DEL /F /Q %KillStatus%

ENDLOCAL


:CheckKillStatus
ECHO Killing with status: %~2
TASKKILL /FI "STATUS eq %~2" /IM "%~1" /F > %KillStatus%
SET /P KillResult= < %KillStatus%
FOR /F "tokens=1,* delims=:" %%A IN ("%KillResult%") DO (
   ECHO %%A:%%B
IF /I {%%A}=={SUCCESS} SET /A Success=%Success%+1
)


:End

ok guys so to elaborate on my problem, so i've clocked all the 750Ti's so they run the same clock and memory.
The one that plays up is running at 33mv higher then the other 2, i am unable to under voltage the card in msi afterburner
when the miner crashes, if i restart it the card pretty much stays idle and mines at around 4Mh/s
Doesn't clock itself back up, which seems like maybe a driver crash. So i un-installed all my drivers, and re-installed them

even with new drivers the same card is still crashing the same, so the loop trick wont work as the card never clocks itself back up. Seems a weird one to me, and i dont have a clue why afterburner wont let me undervolt the card

who ever helps me get this sorted (besides suggesting returning the card, i will send you every heavycoin i have mined, at the moment its only 40, but i will send through more as i get them)

EDIT
Ooo and the card will happily mine for ages when its sitting at 4MH/s

these clowns are targeting Auroracoin [AUR] as shitcoin and hence I cannot take them seriously.

I don't think that's the case. I've checked with Maxcoin on 1GH and copperlark and CryptoMeth. All are SHA-3 and no version of cudaminer seems to work with that algo.

--algo=keccak  exists since the Maxcoin launch. Works for me.

Note that you need really large kernel launch configs like -l T1024x24 or -l K1024x32 in combination with -L 512

That's the weird part. It was working fine on Max till a few days ago. It's okay if it autotunes, I assume. The -L flag is the only thing that needs to be put in the .bat file,yes?

My cudaminer reports only 4-5% GPU usage while mining keccak. It's the latest one from Feb. It works >95% using CCminer or scrypt. Any ideas as to what the issue may be?

Guis? Guis pls.

i would say wrong algo for a pool you have chosen Wink

A few pages back Christian1980(i think) posted a solution that appears to be working on one of my machines.  It's possible my -500 memory clock did it, but I'm not sure.

this post right?
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5948942

i had noticed the overclocks are different at stock, one overclocks itself to around 1.3GHz and runs fine

EDIT:
ok so i just ran the card that is playing up, its using 37mv more then the other 2 cards
and i am wondering if its trying to suck too much power through. MSI afterburner will not let me manually drop the voltage, the second i try to apply it, it sets the voltage back to 0

Guys i know ive asked already but i kinda need help on this one. So 3 750Ti's, each with their own ccminer launch config (seperate windows), mining heavycoin

2 of them run perfect, and have been mining all night. On my 1 card it just crashes constantly after a few minutes. Asin "ccminer35.exe has stopped responding"

Has anyone else had this issue before? It does mine and sends through shares, so tue card and risers work. Theres no overclocks applied their totally stock

The only thing I had to tweak was: util.c
And my modification allows for syslog logging and normal cudaminer logging at the same time.
(normally, -S option switch off the cudaminer app logging)

noted... Wink

It's very good, but I'd like to see you integrate that new modded sgminer, maybe improve on the code and add all kernels?

ccminer wouldn't hurt but it's not 100% needed, at least not in other than its normal form.

I'll gladly donate some yac to the cause if you want them. Smiley

Wow, Christian invasion! :p

Amazing work guys, seems like NVIDIA will be "the way it's meant to be mined" soon.

(It already is, imho, but software was lacking for a serious farm)


"Amazing!
I'll have to give it a shot as soon as I get a 750 ti."

Why, Ivan... Why? Cheesy

I didn't have one till recently :p
And my inet provider sucked till yesterday (got redundant isp's now, 6mb download...best I could get Sad )

I'll flash a pendrive on Monday and try it on my main rig.
You have an API for cudaminer!?

I made, let say: "Readonly API" Wink

my goal was: to use as much as possible from that, what is available in cudaminer (i.e. to add as little extra code to cudaminer as possible)

so, the only modified file in cudaminer is util.c, and is included in my Linux image - if somebody want to compile some other version of cudaminer than included by me

And I simply process cudaminer output messages, what is quite enough for statistics, and for decision about failover.

what setting will I use to do sha256 with cudaminer or is it not possible?

Someone said there might be something wrong with the blockchain for METH.  It's currently at %15,000 on okaypool now.

I only got .69 METH for my troubles.  Lame.
Apparently the whole network was stuck by the reaction of the kgw to a big THash/s whale (apparently it is finaly good for something this kgw)

got 3 orphans in solo mining, I moved to a pool very fast (in view of the diff...)
Was on okaypool, find kind a strange that it was taking so long to get a block, moved then to hashfever...
Just realised, we are only at block 100 (between that and graphene which gives 10000 block in one hour...)

The hashrate of the gtx780ti is not reported well at all (50Mh instead of 320Mh) while the R9 seems more or less ok.
(I think there was already some problem like that with helixcoin). And I think shares get lost somewhere...

Sadly I was forced to miss METHcoins Sad

Doesn't sound like you missed much.  I was new to solo mining until today but if i had an extra 30min before launch i could have set them all up.  Instead I did a pool that ultimately crashed and who knows if they found any blocks, but I was one of the only ones on there for a bit.

People were talking about how it was a good launch but i guess that only applies if you were on one of the other pools that didn't have problems the first 40min.  After that difficulty ruined everything.  Oh well, maybe i'll get credit from hardcoreminers pool.  One can hope.
