I got it working, but when I try to overclock, it crashes. Got the cards up to 730khs each, but I think I need more ram in order to OC more. Does that sound right?

Unless you watercool them, 730 could be too much

It's an open rig, cards aren't getting over 65*C. They are 7970's

python script after mangling code for personal edits. Very tiny readout, all unnecessary information removed or merged. Displays local time (strftime) instead of server time. Locked to BTC-e for price, removed data grab from Gox.
.....

Just got into scrypt mining with middlecoin. 
First off, middlecoin is great!  Sure, the website isn't very pretty and the influx of newbies like me is causing scaling problems, but it works and is making me more $ than mining LTC and trading them.  Many thanks H2O!  Keep up the good work.

I made a couple of small changes to the python script:
  • Support for multiple wallets (I prefer to have a wallet per rig)
  • Fixed the "time since json.." bug around midnight

I really wish it was in a proper repo.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/python2
import urllib2, json, os, time
import datetime as datetime
from fractions import gcd
from time import strftime, strptime
#orignal script: michwill, 15r271ADbvPkCcENraokEzrRgLrmaSpfc8
#modded version by: mardilv, 1PkCFatY7jgxY8BFaZe1YeL1baa8G7tVuR

            write("Exchanged   ", my.get("bitcoinBalance", 0),mbtc)
            write("Unxchg&Imm  ",my.get("unexchangedBalance", 0) + my.get("immatureBalance", 0),mbtc)
   
            print ("Shares last hr\t:\t%.0f" % (my["lastHourShares"]))
            print ("    Hashrate    :\t%s KH/s" % (my.get("megahashesPerSecond")* 1000))

Can someone help me out with my miner really quickly?

I just set up a new rig with 2 7970's. I made the config file, and I'm not getting any hardware errors... but I'm not getting any accepted/rejected shares either. It keeps telling me "stratum from pool 0 detected new block", but no accepted/rejected shares. It's also telling me my hashrate is over 900 on each card which is probably too much for 7970's, since the most I see other people get is around 800. Also, my temps are staying in the 30's-40's and MSI Afterburner says my GPU is only being used at 45%... what am I doing wrong?

You probably forget to add -scrypt to Your config / bat file. SHA256 is bit faster than scrypt, but in MHs instead of KHs. You´ll recognize it easily - You´ll see MHs instead of KHs in cgminer.

You were right, silly mistake. But while I was messing with over clocking, my gpu crashed and now cgminer says it can't find the pool (?wrong URL) middlecoin.com is all it says

Really can´t help You without command that You feed to cgminer

I´ve got a picture! Haha!
Hi Guys I am new to this, I just want to make sure everything seems normal.. I am not new to mining pools as I have been doing it for over a month now. I now know what the normal Accepted/Rejected shares should look like. The interesting part is that this pool has the most rejected that I have every seen.

Example : 900000 Accepted  Rejected 20500

Thats around 2.3% Rejection

Usually in every other pool I have been in the rejection is half that rate at 1.3% 1.2%

Is this something that is normal with this pool?

Its completelly normal and tightly related to which coin is currently mined. Some coins have huge amount of rejects due to low diff / fast blocks (as I described a bit above) - basically its because lot of other people submit same share at same time as You and only one can make it through.

My ping does seem pretty awful. Ehh, i'll just upgrade. Even if it doesn't help my mining, at least I won't lag anymore in dota2 and get ganked by riki.

You can still mine "ordinary" not so low diff coins even with bit laggy connection. I am OK with mining on middlecoin (even while running live TeamViewer session) on connection with 200+ms ping, but the same time middlecoin switch to some low diff coin with fast share submission, whole connection lags badly, mostly resulting in remote reboot.

Have you installed AMD SDK APP ? I think it could be the Reason.

might be a stupid question but I had to ask... can I have 2 separate rigs pointing to the same btc wallet as a username when mining with middlecoin? Will my stats simply just show combined hashrate of the 2 rigs?



Yes I have 7 without too much issue.

I've had a similar problem for a while now, added an extra 1 at the front of my address when I started Middlecoin, i've not had much luck in getting it fixed.  Correct address is - 1M9B8YxAXRLzSR3J74kZe8uA18ZCQGZFCh, wrong address with balance is 11M9B8YxAXRLzSR3J74kZe8uA18ZCQGZFCh

The posts about ping are interesting, I get between 250 & 300 to the middlecoin severs as I am in Aus.  Would it really be screwing me over?

Don't think so. I have similar pings in AU, and reject rates are incredibly low (http://middlecoin2.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/reports/15r271ADbvPkCcENraokEzrRgLrmaSpfc8.html)

0.04 for me, I have optus 4g running from a TPlink mr3420 - http://middlecoin2.s3-website-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/reports/1M9B8YxAXRLzSR3J74kZe8uA18ZCQGZFCh.html

I guess its not too much of an issues then

If I get it right, 0.04 means 40ms and its great latency.. And as I wrote - it matters only on fast block LOW DIFF coins (obviously because Your shares will reach their destination later than same shares from someone else)

Anyway. Try without a config file:
Code:
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu.middlecoin.com:3333 -u 15r271ADbvPkCcENraokEzrRgLrmaSpfc8 -p x --thread-concurrency 8192 --intensity 13 --worksize 256 -g 2 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 0-85 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-vddc 1.17 --gpu-engine 1050 --auto-fan --auto-gpu --temp-target 80

What are your cgminer settings: voltage, clock rates, etc? What command do you start cgminer with?
