7990 should give you more than 5GH/s, you may want to look at the posts in the beginning or middle part of this thread for a better config.
What core and memory frequencies are you using? And how many gpu-threads?

Hey Guys, me again.
I REALLY want to luv this algo but it's driving me bats
No matter how I tweak my .config I get thermal runaway on gpu1 of my HD7990
This is one attempt, with I= 11,3, just before I turned off....
Then later, with gpu1 DISABLED & I=0 I got this before shutting down & going back to myr-gr
With the same rig this is how myr-gr behaves, so it's NOT the rig or card.
Is anyone else using an HD7990 who can post a known-good .config for me to try?
I know gpu1 always runs a bit hotter than gpu0 but on blake it's chuffing ridiculous right now

Hi, I'm annoyed. Why you have deleted my Mac Os X Wallet post?
Was it against the rules to ask for donnations?
Or the link to mega?
I have posted this earlier than MystPhysX wallet link was posted.
That's no way to behave to delete this silently.

I did not delete any post I am not a mod on this forum
The version by MystPhysX was on 30th March did not see any earlier MAC OSX version posted here but been busy with merge mining stuff

Most of the time it doesn't even connect at all so there's no share numbers to look at. The share level isn't in real time but it's definitely not supposed to drop to zero over and over and over like that. It looks consistent with what I was able to observe where it occasionally would connect briefly and sporadically.
I don't think the cgminer version is the issue. I've tried putting different pool info into the Blake version and, while it can't mine on the scrypt pool, it does connect normally. When I try your pools in the scrypt version of cgminer I also have on the same PC, it does the same thing where it won't connect. And of course the scrypt version connects and works fine with a scrypt pool.
So I'm stumped. Also don't know how I'm going to get the orphaned currency from your pool since there's no manual payout option visible and I have less than the minimum payout amount of Blakecoin and Dirac scattered accross all three servers.

for <5GH/s the dashboard can repeatedly drop to 0 if it does not get enough shares in time period, the pool stats should show your shares in round if they are valid
Manual payouts off is far better than the pool getting duped and the wallets going into negative with the recent DDoS attacks it is just not possible to turn them on

no idea why you have issues with connecting to the pool server I have multiple rigs and they all stay on first pool in list unless that is down or reset (server code changes or crash) then it mines 2nd in list and switches back once the 1st is back online, currently have miners in all the merged pools and no issues with connection
Yes, this is exactly the behavior I've always seen in every other situation, including with this same PC yesterday when testing other pools. Quote from: BlueDragon747
edit:
had a look back at your conf and noticed a few things you could try if you have not done so already remove

Code:
"api-allow" : "w:127.0.0.1",
"api-listen" : true,
"api-mcast-port" : "4028",
"api-port" : "4028",
"thread_concurrency" : "8192",
"lookup-gap" : "2",

"api-mcast-port" : "4028",

"thread_concurrency" : "8192",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
Yeah, I removed the last two lines above first because I saw elsewhere in the thread that they're not needed. I also tried removing the api- lines too, nothing changes it. It definitely has nothing to do with the conf file because I tried using the scrypt version of cgminer with a copy of one of my known-good conf files with only the server URLs changed to yours and no other changes and it does the exact same thing. And the Blake version of cgminer works normally/as expected when substituting a known-good scrypt pool with your pool info.
So the only issue seems to be specifically with your pools.
Again, is it possible my worker or account could be banned in some way by your pools, or the IP address blocked by a server firewall? I can DM you the info so you can check if that's a possibility. Thanks.

I was able to clone the git repository for the miner but can't get it to build. Anybody with some pointers?

Last night I was enlightened by someone about Blakecoin and the future potential of the blake256 algorithm, so I've switched my mining rig to full time blc! Just wanted to report my hashrates for anybody with a similar setup looking for ball park numbers, I'm very impressed with the blake256 efficiency so far: high hash rates, low temps. I'm using the kR105 cgminer and running BAMT 1.5.2, it was actually quite easy to switch from scrypt to blake256 - I'm impressed.
I have 4x Gigabyte R9 270s:
I'll be happy to share my config if anybody with 270s is interested, just ask.

I just found Blakecoin myself and would like to move my BAMT rig to Blake-256. Anybody know how to upgrade the miner in BAMT so that I can use the merged mining miner?

did you try the cgminer that i suggested? try that. and then download msi afterburner. AND make sure your fan speeds are set to 100 % NOT AUTO http://www.blakecoin.org/cgminer-alt-pool-eu.7z is the one i was talking about. edit the .conf file and before you start it make sure to download msi afterburner and max the fans !!!

I am currently working on two more pools on one in Chicago and the other in London these are with a different provider to the current pools, but LA1 is also a different provider from EU3 and NY2

not sure why you are getting connection issues
I would ping and tracert your connection to the server in command prompt see if you have any high ping latency issues
Edit:
is there a specific server you are having issues with btw?
I have all three in my config file. When I open cgminer it says it's launching then hangs for a minute or more before finally listing the names of all three servers, the worker name & password and lets me press any key or wait for it to retry.
If I leave leave the room and just periodically check in my browser with all three pool locations open in tabs, I'll see it connect to one of the three randomly for a minute or three and drop the connection. Sometimes it will connect and drop from the same one over and over so the shares line on the dashboard looks like a sine wave.
the dashboard is not real time and not very accurate for sub 5-10GH/s its based on your submissions over past period 1-3mins
as long as you can see shares have submitted for that round it should be good, look at U:x.x/m in cgminer for shares to server, 1.3GH/s is ~ U:0.5/m and 3.16GH/s is ~ U:1.4/m as a rough guide
pings look good I agree its kind of weird
you could try the 3.7 version maybe that will help maybe not?

3.1.1 is the most stable and tested on the most machines and should be tried first, 3.7.2 is not as stable in the early testing and there is no real gain to using it unless you get some weird issues when running 3.1.1
hope that makes sense
hope that makes sense
Cheers BD I'll try that, the way things are going with gpu1 I won't be able to mine much, still thermal runaway even with I=4 (88 degrees but only 55Mh/s)
EDIT - BIG improvement
At I=9 gpu1 isn't breaking 91 degrees
...maybe spoke too soon, pool not showing any active worker or sharerate even though miner says all OK

14250 khash/s on a Intel Core i7 3930K. year it is right. 
sounds ok but with current difficulty and the merge mine pools I dont recommend CPU mining unless its a new released Blake-256 coin then only for solo mining against the wallet, stratum is not patched for the cpu miner
most of the hashing is done on GPU or FPGA atm
But one thing to remember is that the wallet does use the algo on cpu so does the pool software so speed gain is what helps with merge mining and why we will be able to merge more coins for the same server hardware
