Hello,
I'm trying to get a rig up and running using a Radeon R9 380 on Windows 7. I'm using sgminer 5.1, AMD SDK 3.0, and Catalyst 15.20. It will connect to the pool, and sgminer shows hashing, but no shares are ever accepted. I've tried different pools, uninstalling/installing catalyst and amd sdk. I tried using another mining program, with basically the same results.
This is what i have for my batch file:
sgminer.exe --algorithm scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333 -u 1BceNw9f9wY8Vx9LNN1Dn1Xou4EjnUBkcf -p x
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
This may not be related because I'm on LINUX with an R9 290 GPU, but:
Yesturday I upgraded fron Catalyst 15.5 to Catalyst 15.20 and I had the same problem with the X11 algorithm. sgminer would hash away at 7 MH/s without any problem, but it would never accept any shares. I changed sgminer versions, kernels and .bin(s) to no avail. The only thing that worked was to go back to a previous Catalyst version that I had at hand (14.6).
ive found that 15.7 is the best catalyst version to run this with ...
mine are all 7970 / 280x oc cards - but they had a similar issue - until the latest sgminer compiled with cat15.7 ...
x11 with wolf0 bins are the most stable we have had ... wolf knows what the hell he is doing when it comes to optimization and stability ...

haven't been paying attention...but thanks for that....are AMD SDK's necessary and if so what version?
in fedora 22 x64 ( KDE version NOT gnome - as catalyst is broken with gnome ) - the latest AMD_APP works very well with the compile ...
depending on the linux distribution you are using though - that may be different ...
#crysx
should have qualified...op system is windows 7
ok - i can only ever give info about linux ( fedora mainly ) ...
can someone else answer? ...

So I tried installing a previous catalyst version 15.7.1, and after i do that I check the driver version and it shows 15.20.
Then I try an even older version 14.x and check the driver, and again it installs 15.20. Ran sgminer anyway to try, and the card just hashes away, but no shares are accepted. I tried neoscrypt too, to no avail. If the problem is with the drivers, catalyst won't let me install a older driver. If the problem is with having the R9 380, then I still have time to return it. BUT I fear that if I buy a 7970 for example, catalyst will still force me to install v15.20, which looks like doesn't work
Maybe I'm screwed as far as GPU mining. I already have a T2 for scrypt, but I wanted to do another algorithm with GPUs.
genreal version 15.20 IS fglrx version 15.7 ...
amd just set their version in a silly way like that ...
it doesnt seem to be the driver or the card ...
what version sgminer are you using? ... what are you mining? ... and where? ... and what is the exact commandline you use? ...

I'm using sgminer 5.1. I've tried scrypt and neoscrypt algorithms. Where? I'm in usa, and tried usa nicehash, and eu nicehash. Or if you are asking where I have sgminer., its just in a the same folder it came in after I unzipped it.
"C:\Users\Gridseed1\Downloads\sgminer-5.1-nicehash\sgminer-5.1-nicehash\sgminer.exe" --algorithm scrypt -o stratum+tcp://scrypt.usa.nicehash.com:3333 -u 1BceNw9f9wY8Vx9LNN1Dn1Xou4EjnUBkcf -p x
That's the exact contents of my .bat file. (Gridseed is just the computer/username,, i used to have some gridseeds hooked up to this computer)
I've also tried the above code but with doing neoscrypt instead. It doesn't have any problem connecting to nicehash, and it hashes appropriately. It just never gets any shares. I started with 8 intensity. Waited for about 30 minutes with nothing. Then changed to 11, then 15, but still nothing. I left it going overnight and checked in the morning, but not a single accepted share.
