I'm doing ~1.04GH/s I=29 on a HD 5870 with 100% stales. What's the right RPC port to use? 8227 or 8984?

I'll make an official ANN post in the next 24-48 hours, but for now you can at least download and use the GPU miner.
Please post any issues or performance statistics about the miner on this thread or in a PM to ME.

Woot! Found a block I now have 25.00047007 BLC around 2025 shares
around 2025 shares October 21, 2013, 11:19:13 PM
needed to make my command window size and buffer 87x26 to prevent scrolling

Oh, as a note: tons of stales is fine. If the network difficulty is 2,000, you can expect, on average, to need 2,000 difficulty-one shares. The miner submits every difficulty one share, and when it is rejected it counts it as a stale. If you see your stales around 3x the difficulty with no accepted blocks, then you might have a problem. Just let the miner run.
If you guys are interested, you can try the miner at http://www.blakecoinmining.com/Reaper_Blakecoin.zip which doesn't submit these shares, but it hasn't been well tested. Thanks to above poster, forgot to point this out!

I'm using Kill-a-Watt meters on each rig to check power. Also, all of the cards are running fairly cool (low 70Cs) compared to other algos.

Reproduced issue in VM, most probably you have some OpenCL misconfiguration. Reaper loads opencl.dll and gets 64 bit one from windows instead of 32 bit. Not sure what is the right way to fix it, but try to locate 32 bit OpenCL.dll (it should be somewhere in bin\x86\OpenCL.dll in AMDAPPSDK directory) and copy it in reaper directory.

Block target time is 3 minutes and retargets every hour
last hour was 8 blocks in network1 block per 8 minute, not 3
It retargets (difficulty changes) every 20 blocks exactly, so next retarget is at block 8100, then 8120, 8140 etc. Nice and easy to follow.
The difficulty is bouncing up and down quite a lot at the moment, though I expect it will take off once the reaper GPU miner goes public
yeah it is unlikely that the real network could produce a constant hash rate that would produce the magic 1 block in 3 minutes so the wallet will always be re guessing the difficulty to try to create a close to 1 block in 3 minutes as possible, the bouncing is most likely due to being a small network atm

Just compiled reaper on ubuntu 64bit and for 5850+5870 both overclocked to 900 MHz I've got 2.3 GH/s

yes that why the difficulty goes up more block produced in the time span or difficulty goes down if not enough blocks produced in time span
and the wallet will re calculate the difficulty each hour(20 blocks) to get the magic 1 block in 3 minutes

Beta seems to be going well. Full release coming sometime this evening my time (it's a few hours before noon). Again, anyone who wants in on the beta can just PM me, haven't turned down anyone.
Edit: On another note, difficulty is shooting up. 874 now, but it hit around the 1,200 mark a bit ago.

Can anyone advise how to mine with cgminer please?
Is that a SHA256 or scrypt?
How should the bat file look like for this coin please?

it is not SHA-256 or Scrypt it is Blake-256 and cgminer is not ported to it yet
PM Vorksholk if you want to help test the OpenCL miner software Reaper_Blakecoin_Beta
Thank you

I can't get the miner to work. I'm getting a 0xc000007b error, unable to start. I set up the blakecoin.conf and reaper.conf with the proper user, pass and rpc port.
Try to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) I have Visual C++ 2012 Redist (x64) install already. Does the miner only work with the 32-bit version?
I'm running on Ubuntu 12.10 x86_64 on all my rigs without a problem. The source code in the beta compiles fine using CMake.
Below are my stats thus far (w/o overclocking):
x1 Diamond 7990 - 5.1GH/s @ 500W/h - 32 blocks
x2 MSI Twin 7950 - 4.1GH/s @ 600W/h - 15 blocks

I ran Dependency Walker and got the follow errors:
I am running Windows 7 x64 and have the following Microsoft libraries installed both x86 and x64
maybe this will help as it runs fine here
think the key is having .Net installed and both x86 and x64 visual C++ even if you are using an x64 OS
