.
Now if i start the miner without any config file only using the command the output given above doesn't even appear.

On trying to run without any command line paramrtrrs and config file its the same output, as well as in case for running without any command line parameters but with a config file.  
  
I am using the latest amd 17.12.2 drivers even tried an older driver but it doesn't fix the issue.
  
Any help will be appreciated

miner used http://www.blakecoin.org/cgminer-alt-pool-la1.7z

dont use latest driver is my advice as amd have changed all sorts would need to recompile with later sdk

older driver should work fine and newer driver very rarely improve hashrate

try 16.9.2 which should work fine on r9 390

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/amd-radeon-software-crimson-16-9-2-driver-download.html

any issues removing or changing driver use DDU

http://www.guru3d.com/files-details/display-driver-uninstaller-download.html


I tried with 16.9.2 aswell ut it's the same result it crashes after that.

could it be a problem because of amd sdk installed on my pc to compile some other miner?

could you help me compile it with latest sdk?

Any idea what to mine?


If you use Windows as mining platform the cgminer Bluedragon mentioned should be fine. I used the same for testing until i changed onto a Raspberry as mining controller.

This was my Mine.Bat content:

Code:
cgminer --disable-gpu --url stratum+tcp://eu1.blakecoin.com:3334 --userpass youraccount.yourworker:yourpassword

If you like to use a Raspberry Pi too, i can share a SD-Card image if you like to (just need to write a little text for it, so you wouldnt mine on my account)

Man is free at the moment he wishes to be.
Hi, sorry for the possible double post, but I am not shure where to ask:

started mining with blakemerged (bluedragon) pool - what I cannot find through google:
can I use the blake wallet with multiple adresses for all 6 coins or does the blake wallet only work for blake?
I created for every coin a new adress in my wallet and put them in my dashboard, but I don't seem to receive payouts.
thank you!

Each coin has there own blockchain, You have to treat them as if they are separate and use the correct wallet for each coin. This is not like eth, the only thing these coins share is the hash rate.

BLC is 100% better a crypto than XRP! I always tell ppl to at least buy this one. I have a hunch!
Sure it is better, but explain it to those people. Even if BLC has great possible applications, all we can see in the years are promises Sad - well, no pun intended, but IMHO BlueDragon would need a bit help from other people, it's just too much to be done for a single person who only can devote his free time to the project. A team of people could maybe finish the game, at least. I know very well what it is like to do programming in free time and over time it annoyed me because it was, well, programming again, which I also do for a living so I kind of stopped liking it and switched to some other activities.

yeah many things have not quite gone way was expecting + work irl = poor results

I cant do anything about what work have taken on until about april but will look to cut back a bit and get ahead with my own projects this year  Roll Eyes

yeah a team would be nice but with so many sharks around hard to tell honest help offers to scammers trying to milk me, might be worth me looking into sub some bits out to freelancers independently from crypto scene to fast track things and make good on some of those promises not just for others but also to go bit easier on myself as I maybe have bitten off more than can chew doing stuff solo  Embarrassed

whatever the case still not gonna quit the games are still the goal just maybe need to re prioritize things a bit as it would be tragic to miss these waves in 2018/2019 for these genuine projects *we all see many projects in top on cmc that pretty much any of the merged coins would be better than if it had a chance Cry

I know i missed these times. I looked into the historical diff data and saw that, when i returned to set my boards up. I fear i had to quit short before these mentioned quiet times began and returned after they ended. But real life can be an asshole, but most important (for me) is - i am back, even with all my coins i mined in earlier times Wink

The short term profit ppl are the ones, that now make the diff spike. Moving on the blockchain, when the calculator says it is more profitable than xyz but 20 or 40 blocks later they leave again because of the spike they were responsible for. I left my boards running (as long as the circumstances allowed it) even if the calc said i am only getting +-0 or even negative profit. Here in Germany its hard to be competitive (if you compare it to other countries), just because of energy costs. But i just knew (okay, a part of hope was with it) that the coins i mine now will be profitable in the future.

I know what you want to say with the gpu/fpga times. I had such moments too - like mining a nearly dead coin just for fun (there were times it looked like only 5 ppl were mining it) and then it returned to an exchange - with the known initial spike in price. This was just like christmas and birthday on the same day Wink Even if i got into the crypto thing at the end of 2012 and even if i never got the most powerful hardware at the right time i can say too "I was there before it was something and i watched the whole crypto system growing, learning and succeeding" - even if i missed the very beginning. Even if this may sound a little stupid - i am proud of that - in real life i often heared something like "ahh go away with this stupid thing" when i tried to talk about Bitcoin and crypto and the technical things behind it to the ppl i know in real life. Today... you may know how this would end - sth like same ppl say "i wish i had listened to you" and so on.

At all - i wish i would be a better programmer - sometimes i have (i think) good and useful ideas (nothing like stupid dice games) on what to do but am unable to think through it in the whole dimension and so to realize a useful solution.

And at the end - thank you for all the efforts you made to realize Blakecoin and the ecosystem around it - it is the niche coin (maybe not niche for all times) that made me happy... from setting up solo mining to getting my boards running (okay, there were times i was close to drown in despair) to the feeling to be a part of it.



yeah I know life def throws a few curve balls at times atm here got all this "Brexit" bs omg what a scam  Lips sealed they put possible worst people in change even a homeless bum could do a better job but yeah just got to keep calm and go get a nice cup of tea  Tongue

when I was talking about crypto stuff most people inc my friends just thought I was nuts so pretty much stopped mentioning it and until recently ~ 6 months no one asked but now quite a few come up and are like "psst hey you know about this bitcoin stuff" followed by how to mine/were to buy  Roll Eyes *pretty crazy this crypto fever but sure its not first time many of us have seen this  Wink

It really does not hurt to have a well spread portfolio of different coins especially stuff that is mineable non ico/ipo and I did get some newer nvidia cards so I could play with other algos but hmm "profit" maybe one day price on electric is quite expensive here too so gonna sit on most and wait and see  Grin    

its been a wild ride and it seems far from over really glad I got into crypto also proud I did Blakecoin it has the old spirit that attracted me in first place so maybe not super popular but it does bring me a sense of fulfillment when its working well and when others also enjoy it too  Cool

so far 2018 is looking good just hope things can come together game side then will be making some real progress on daily use case, its ok that trading is going on but really will feel better when it does more than just that  Tongue  


Is it worth even trying to mine with a 30 Mhs Scrypt anymore?


I also agree that 2018 is going to be insane and so is 2019. I'm talking massive pumps and rises like you wouldn't believe. Look at how much these super shit coins pumped this past week. I knew coins would pump because of the BTC correction or wtvr, but damn, you could've made money off any coin almost. And, most of these 1 sat coins I've never seen move in 2 yrs went up 10-15x even 30x. Cap is at 770B apprx. News is reporting on crypto almost daily. Everybody I know wants in. Even when I fuck up and sell in the middle, it's still a few thousand dollars. Or, even a whole BTC off of some cheap crypto I bought in 2016.

Wait til the cap is over 1-12T. There's no stopping it now. Ripple dude is 5th most richest person in the world now lol. Ripple!!! Almost $3 a pc. Huh

BLC is 100% better a crypto than XRP! I always tell ppl to at least buy this one. I have a hunch!

you missed the real lows of 80-120gh/s many of us enjoyed for many months when things were quiet and btc was 10x less Cheesy

but like I said many people look very short term for "profit" and by time anything shows its often very highly competitive it was no different for bitcoin in early days, not saying blc is btc as they are different reward models just saying if I myself had more long term approach to my early btc mining it would have been better than trying to compete so hard and only looking at price on day/week/month basis  Shocked

I never stopped mining Blakecoin(and merged) since it was released! one day that really will be my "most profitable" move I have made with mining and I am sure some are already enjoying some good returns for sticking about especially for Photon as it was dumped very hard yet has potential due to sheer numbers of coins  Cheesy

also the waiting for normalizing does not always pay off sometimes it does other times like with me on btc never going to get as much per day even using latest asics than I did with gpu/fpga, really latest bump with btc has made an impact loads of new miners entering space it may take awhile to calm down or may never go back down to such lows, if my own game projects ripen in mean time you might as well forget such lows and just say "I was there man before it was something"   Grin  

Still time will tell everything else is speculation on an unknown future

Happy new year to all of you Smiley
Atm the spikes are really heavy. I think it is because of the raised price of Photon which led to a switch to the Blakecoin-Algo on Zpool.

So they want to build Asics for the BLC Algo? Sad

Yeah seen a lot of activity and I think they have already built asic they at least in theory can mine Blakecoin still waiting on a reply from the manufacture about support

cant rule out "Testing" of asics before release as well as large gpu farms profit switching but whatever the case network is still minting new blocks just average times can be off until things stabilize  

best time to mine has been the years before all this action Cheesy

the "most profitable" on a day basis maybe just is not best way to make larger gains on time/effort due to the sheer competition time will tell I guess  Tongue

I dont think this is a kind of testing of Blake-Asics.
The spikes in difficulty began, when Photon's price raised on Dec 25th. Then, maybe an hour later, the net hashrate jumped from something like 300-400GHs to like 4THs in seconds. I looked on zpool and saw they were responsible for like 3THs at this time - for sure only for a short timeframe until difficulty rocketed. I think when the Alt-Coin season is over and the prices will fall back to before the pushes, the diff will "normalize" again.

I just thought BLC would be like ASIC-safe because of the low market cap - i just forgot there are other Blake-Algo coins too. I even was looking for some more FPGA boards to enlarge my little farm (with no success yet) - but if there are rumors in this direction, i think i will leave it running as it is until the time has come...

you missed the real lows of 80-120gh/s many of us enjoyed for many months when things were quiet and btc was 10x less Cheesy

but like I said many people look very short term for "profit" and by time anything shows its often very highly competitive it was no different for bitcoin in early days, not saying blc is btc as they are different reward models just saying if I myself had more long term approach to my early btc mining it would have been better than trying to compete so hard and only looking at price on day/week/month basis  Shocked

I never stopped mining Blakecoin(and merged) since it was released! one day that really will be my "most profitable" move I have made with mining and I am sure some are already enjoying some good returns for sticking about especially for Photon as it was dumped very hard yet has potential due to sheer numbers of coins  Cheesy

also the waiting for normalizing does not always pay off sometimes it does other times like with me on btc never going to get as much per day even using latest asics than I did with gpu/fpga, really latest bump with btc has made an impact loads of new miners entering space it may take awhile to calm down or may never go back down to such lows, if my own game projects ripen in mean time you might as well forget such lows and just say "I was there man before it was something"   Grin  

Still time will tell everything else is speculation on an unknown future

Happy new year to all of you Smiley
Atm the spikes are really heavy. I think it is because of the raised price of Photon which led to a switch to the Blakecoin-Algo on Zpool.

So they want to build Asics for the BLC Algo? Sad
