Directed my bitcoin miner to this coin...

Is this coin sha and scrypt friendly?  I read that it's good for asic and gpu mining?

Mining is done with SHA algo...can use either ASIC or GPU for that. However, you get much higher returns using GPUs for folding rather than mining (and you help the scientific research...which is the point really). The scrypt algo is unrelated.

I've been running into a lot of hung work units.  The work unit will hit the end and just sit there forever at 99.99% with 3 seconds remaining.  I've done a bit of looking around and from what I've seen so far they say look for connection errors in the logs.  So far I haven't seen any but I have these hung work units on several computers.  I'm not sure how to resolve them but they certainly are hurting my production.

About the only thing I've been able to do so far is restart the computer without stopping the work unit first.  That seems to knock it back to a previous checkpoint and then it will process about 50% of the time after it redoes the work again which can take hours.

If I stop the work unit prior to rebooting it just sits are 99.99% again.  There must be an easier way to get around these.  Has anyone else been experiencing this?


I can confirm that this is a overclocking issue !
You can read about my experience on the few last pages. My Gpu's have always been rock solid with every coin but I had to down clock them to avoid the 99.99% problem.

Here's what I found from the folding forum:

The usual reason for this occurring is a GPU reset, check the Windows logs for this happening around the time the WU stopped progressing in the folding log. The cause can be an overclocked GPU that is not stable for folding or a driver crash.

Another action that will do this is sleeping or hibernating the system with a GPU WU active. The OS will reload regular RAM from where it is saved on disc for processes running on the CPU, but does not do that for GPU processing. A newer version of the GPU folding core is under test that is intended to detect that change in state and restart at the previous checkpoint, but has not yet been released to general use.

 

FYI the 99% thing is purely a cosmetic symptom while the client starts up, or shuts down. Sometimes it takes a little bit for the GUI to sync with the work unit. This is especially true with the above mentioned circumstances.


Thanks for the info!  I also saw your situation where you have two computers with identical hardware and one is running at essentially half the speed of the other.  I've got the same situation and I'm rebuilding that machine right now.  I suspect it also has to do with GPU's in that machine.  But it has been hard reset many times while mining so I thought I would start fresh.  I suspect the cards in that machine will actually need to be toned down a bit more than the others.

What does your log look like for these hung units?

EDIT: Also does anyone know how to do a spoiler in this forum? I'm new here so sorry for taking up all the space with the log. Put it in a quote to make it a little smaller anyway lol

My logs shows the updates stopped long before 99.99%.  The 99.99% is not valid.  It actually stopped at 29% for the log I was looking at.  No errors in the F@H log but the updates stopped.  I'm sure the GPU driver crashed.  I need to look at the event log but I'm in the middle of another system rebuild at the moment.  lol

Got to love the late night (for me) computer battles.

Thanks for the info!

Hey there! We like CureCoin a lot and set up a new pool to spread the hashrate. Who helps finding the first block?

  • No registration required: Mine anonymously.
  • 1% mining fee



How to mine CureCoin with us

Step 1: Generate your CureCoin wallet address
Step 2: Point your miner to stratum+tcp://pool.mycryptoco.in:50080
Step 3: Username = Your wallet address, Password doesn't matter (e.g. x)
Step 4: As soon as the CureCoin Client allows us to send mined coins you'll get your CURE immediately

are you running multiple cards? I literally just ran into the same issue... still only solution i can find is restarting without stopping. still trying to find another sorry.

Yes each machine has two R9 290X TRI-X's in them and I am running into this on nearly every machine and I've got them in 7 machines so it seems to be consistent and I am running catalyst 14.4.  I suspect it is an overclock issue and my cards are factory overclocked.  I can tone them down and see what happens.

Thanks for this and I also saw a reference to a similar problem on the previous page after I posted.  My GPU's are factory overclocked so I suspect the OC'ing is the issue.  I'll look into it!

Can somebody explain to what the exact differences are between curecoin and gridcoin? Aside from gridcoin contributing to BOINC and curecoin to FAH? Also, somebody said that curecoin is a registered business in the us. Is that true? What are the implications of that if it is?

Curecoin is a registered organization in the U.S. The implications of this are that if the founders/developers try to pull a quick one or scam someone they can be sued & tried in the US - a country with a great law system and ability to find people.

The exact differences between curecoin and gridcoin is first gridcoin had a lot more difficulties with the mining process. Secondly, gridcoin only allowed you to use cpus, while curecoin allows both gpus and cpus with the added advantage of Asics to secure the network.

There was a nice post by cygnus about curecoin being registered in the US - I'll try and hunt it up for you.


Edit: Found it, its on page 20 a little from the top.

Thank you. Love the idea behind this coin. I am working on my first GPU rig and I think this will be where I point it when it is finished.

Edit: Really impressed by the post from cugnus that you directed me to, everybody should read that if they haven't.

Good luck with your rig and thank you for joining us.

And yes, I agree its a great post Smiley

Can somebody explain to what the exact differences are between curecoin and gridcoin? Aside from gridcoin contributing to BOINC and curecoin to FAH? Also, somebody said that curecoin is a registered business in the us. Is that true? What are the implications of that if it is?

Curecoin is a registered organization in the U.S. The implications of this are that if the founders/developers try to pull a quick one or scam someone they can be sued & tried in the US - a country with a great law system and ability to find people.

The exact differences between curecoin and gridcoin is first gridcoin had a lot more difficulties with the mining process. Secondly, gridcoin only allowed you to use cpus, while curecoin allows both gpus and cpus with the added advantage of Asics to secure the network.

There was a nice post by cygnus about curecoin being registered in the US - I'll try and hunt it up for you.


Edit: Found it, its on page 20 a little from the top.

Thank you. Love the idea behind this coin. I am working on my first GPU rig and I think this will be where I point it when it is finished.

Edit: Really impressed by the post from cugnus that you directed me to, everybody should read that if they haven't.

Anyone with GTX 750 TI folding?
What are your results per card?

The 750 doesn't work properly with f@h at the moment. You'll have to wait for the next f@h update.
