Comme on, it's a 60 Darkcoin bounty and some other guy propose to put Darkcoin in the pot too.

Yes, I've three rigs with 290s and each suffers from the same problem.

I checked for any option related to sleep mode, dpms, but both are disabled by default in BAMT 1.6 .

Others have the same problem with the windows 7 build of that miners...

This bug is incredible. Near all the 290 miners are stuck with poor hashrate because of that.

For bug-finders:
I have 2 others 290 on windows that did not suffer the bug (except from very rare occasion) but they are watercooled.
Is it possible that the Darkcoin algo make some part of the card too hot, or too something, and that some part of the card are disabled? Again: in scrypt/keccak/Scrypt-jane there is no problem.

Hello, yesterday I migrate from BAMT 1.1 to BAMT 1.6 to try Darkcoin mining. Configure my BAMT like before - i had enough experience with Linux and mining but have trouble start mining Darkcoin. With default cgminer there are no problems at all - it mines like in older version, but when change the bamt.conf to sgminer-sph i get:

Started sgminer 4.1.0-85-gccc7d
Loaded configuration file /etc/bamt/sgminer-sph.conf
Kernel darkcoin is experimental.
Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram)
Error compiling program for search.
Frontend phase failed compilation.
Error: Creating kernel search failed!

Failed to init GPU thread 0, disabling device 0
Restarting the GPU from the menu will not fix this.
Try restarting sgminer.

In "sgminer-sph.conf" i change only the pool/worker data. In bamt.conf - stop cgminer with "#cgminer_opts: --api-listen --config /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf", and set: cgminer_opts: --api-listen --config /etc/bamt/sgminer-sph.conf miner-sgminer-sph: 1

I read in here:
"Error -11: Building Program (clBuildProgram) - execute miner from the directory where "kernel" directory is present"
and start mining process from the console with:

export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100
./sgminer --kernel darkcoin -o stratum+tcp://stratum1.suchpool.pw:3335 -u xxxxx.1 -p xxxx

with no options just to check if the mining process will start at any kH/s. The console returns:
Started sgminer 4.1.0-85-gccc7d
Kernel darkcoin is experimental.Killed

It takes about 1 or 2 minutes between start and error (kill) of the mining process.

Where can i find a solution of my problem, thanks in advance.
I mine with one HD6950.

sounds like the kernel path is messed up or something

Edit: also it defaults to thread-congurency 6016
So maybe try setting it manually to something lower will help

Last night i recompile the sgminer-sph:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
sgminer 4.1.0
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Configuration Options Summary:

  Use git version......: yes
  libcurl(GBT+getwork).: Enabled: -lcurl
  curses.TUI...........: FOUND: -lncurses
  OpenCL...............: FOUND. GPU mining support enabled
  ADL..................: SDK found, GPU monitoring support enabled

Compilation............: make (or gmake)
  CPPFLAGS.............:
  CFLAGS...............: -g -O2
  LDFLAGS..............: -lpthread
  LDADD................: -ldl -lcurl compat/jansson-2.5/src/.libs/libjansson.a -lpthread -L/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86 -lOpenCL -lm -lrt

Installation...........: make install (as root if needed, with 'su' or 'sudo')
  prefix...............: /usr/local

and no change with my problem (maybe if i change some flags in ./configure script?) - is there any other software or version for mining darkcoins in Linux?

try
CFLAGS="-O2 -Wall -march=native" ./configure --enable-opencl
also if you are using bamt check this link
http://www.reddit.com/r/BAMT/comments/207rdz/release_bamt_v160_scrypt_scryptn_darkcoin/
also
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.5487088

I switch to SMOS, upgrade the sgminer to the latest version and it works

HD 6950 with few changes in conf file i get ~1500 KH/s

, temp get down on ~64 oC and maybe the power consumption - i will measure it today.
With higher intensity i get it to work at 1800KH/s but no need to over force it that much

Can't get the Windows build to work, although I used cgminer, sgminer, vertminer on the same machine without problems.

I am getting:

Code:

[04:48:33] Started sgminer 4.1.0-96-g983e
[04:48:33] Loaded configuration file sgminer.conf
[04:48:33] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable
[04:48:33] All devices disabled, cannot mine!

need more info if you want help
edit: try running without the config, i.e.
sgminer -k qubitcoin -o 192.168.1.197:9372 -u badman74 -p x -I 18 -g 2

Could you please add a Adaptive NScrypt kernel as well, please? This version of sgminer does pretty much all algos, only Adaptive Nscrypt missing. Cheesy

Also, question, can I mix different algos for different pools? in the same .bat?

get it from the github link in my sig
no you cant mix algo in one .bat at the moment, i'll look into it when i have time

I updated the AMD Linux driver from 13.12 stable to 14.3_1 beta (still has the PowerTune bug since 14.1 but it doesn't seem to matter with DarkCoin because it generally runs "cooler" anyway) and recompiled the latest sph-sgminer git source (also changed since my last DarkCoin mining attempt).

I am not sure which one of the two helped, but I can mine DarkCoin now. (I got instant system wide crashes earlier if I used high X/I or randomly when I ran with lower X/I for a few hours.)

But it's still far from perfect. Crashing stopped, but my hashrate now slowly drops from ~10Mh/s to ~8.5Mh/s during several hours.
If I check my GPU threads periodically I can see as they drop one by one (not at the same time) until they all stuck with a lower speed than they started with.

A possible explanation would be if the driver still crashes but instead of taking down the whole kernel, it seamlessly recovers and continues to work but clock rates get reset and locked to default. (This is what happens on Windows Vista and above.)
But sgminer reports unchanged clockrates (could be false though).

usually its just the mem clock that doesn't recover

i have heard that is works on some nvidia gpu on some coins but in general it is amd only
you may want to check for a cudaMiner (or CCminer) with myriadcoin-groestl

tried, no luck..

nice work guys..mining x11, no problem with different GPUs in the same PC unlike scrypt N miners

you must be using my build if it has nscrypt Wink

Could I have opinion of specialist about my Problem? I suspect a bug of the programm because that'is the only thing I had not check, someone can tell me if it's possible?

I offer on the other topic 30 Darkcoin Bounty to solve that problem, a nobody has a clue, but I get in touch with other that had the same problem.

Here is the facts:
I have 3 different R9 290, other people has 6 290 of other brand, after 10 minutes, the cards looses 10% of Hash.
That probelm happend only on R9 290 cars.
I'm on Bamt 1.6 from Bajawa, He is on windows 7, same problem.
All 290 on the same rig experiment the loss in the exact same second
if you put another card in the rigg that is not a 290, all the 290 had a loss, but not the other card
The cards are cold.
The problem happenedonly with sph-darkcoin miner, if I mine Litecoin, I'm stable.
I split the cards with 2 PSU, does not change a thing, cards crashed at the same time, no matter what psu they are plugged.
I change motherboard, does not change a thing.
I run 4 different sgminer, each one with one card activated: even I did launch them with a delay of 3 minutes, 10 minutes later, all the instance with a 290 had a 10% lossat the same time
I launched sgminer without a .conf: only intensity in the parameters: happened with I:18 and I:21 (0% rejected, cards should worked with high intensity)
Once I got the loss only a cold reboot can recover the missing hash. If I mine restart only the miner, it restart but is capped to 90% of max hashrate.

I'm getting out of hints. If the problem is in the programm, I shoud stop wasting my time. If it is not, I will keep investigate, even if I think I already get pretty far.
PS: as usual, english is not my first languagae, so if I offensed any-one, it was not intended. Wink

Bumping this question, and adding my details. I have the same problem.

It's across 5 computers, all different motherboards. Running 10 cards, all 290s. 7 reference asus . . mix of hynix and elpida. 3 nonref asus . . all elpida. 3 bronze psu's, 1 silver and 1 platinum. All on win 7 64 bit. Fresh installs all of them. I use the comps for other things . . that's why there's only 2 in each comp.

Anyways, the hashes and cards are completely stable except for this drop in hashrate.

It starts at 2.4M#, and drops to 2.0M# (running at stock clocks for the gpu's) after a certain amount of time. Can't get these back unless restarting the computer. It will run at 2.0m# for a week straight . . so no stability issues.

I don't have this problem with other mining software . . so what could be causing it with this software?

Also, I'm throwing another 30 drk on top of boubou's bounty . . so you'll now get 60 drk for a successful fix for this.

I also have the same problem as above (BAMT 1.6).

I tried with the most simplest settings in my conf - w 256 i 18 g 2/4, but after ten minutes considered that my hash rate was dropped by 10%.
It appears only with sph-sgminer.

Why my .bat file not working?

Mining on a 7750. Would like to mine some hirocoin, but whenever i boot it up its too fast for me to see whats wrong with it.

put pause on the line after that and it will pause when it quits on you so you can see what is wrong
