This is my first jane coin, so this n factor change thing is new to me. I was spewing hardware errors when I switched my miners over to cache this morning, so I've dropped the intensity, they're running cleanly now at about 1/4 the hashing power or something (which is making it pointless to mine cache at all), but they seem very underutilized - the temps are very low. I'm suspect I can get more out of them if I tweak things other than intensity, but I'm not about to spend a half a day doing that when I'm sure people have seen this before and can save me a lot of time ... is there a general guide/rule of thumb for what to tweak other than just intensity when there is an n factor change on a jane coin? I don't expect to see the same hashrate, obviously, but my GPUs sitting there bored and cool can't be optimal.

Cheers.

Personally I had to completely retune my gpus this n factor to get a decent hashrate. Huge PITA for sure!

Thanks! Was your intensity the same in the end?

How come difficulty has remained the same for each block after Nfactor increase? Seems to still be at ~80/block. Shouldnt the difficulty drop proportional to the net hashrate drop?

edit: oh woops doesnt change until hitting the set block change amt..cant wait lol

Difficulty drops very slowly and only on PoW blocks.

It's very difficult to mine for at least a week after a large hashrate spike, the N factor adjustment is just icing on the cake.

yeah no PoW block since nfactor...

these were my setting for last N factor new yeidling HW errors !

Does anyone have Settings for R9 290's for the new N Factor ... i am currently away on business and access my miners remotely with TEAM VIEWER . Therefore I can't really test a bunch of settings ... I am currrently getting Hardware errors .. I set my intensity as low as 13 and was still getting some ! Sad

Any help would be much appreciated from others mining with R9 290's

Cheers,

tune down the nfactor until you get more accepted then rejected. not much more you can do. seems the is the HW-algorithm

Hello , about hour ago , in my miner i start to see a lot of HW , they only disappear if i reduce tc , and with reduced tc i only get 200kh. (before was 1500)

Is this normal ? or ?

The N-Factor went up today... so thats the reason. You have to reduce your intensity to get rid of HW errors.

Time: 1391047035 30 Jan 2014 N: 1024 Nfactor: 9
Time: 1393144187 23 Feb 2014 N: 2048 Nfactor: 10
Time: 1394192763 7 Mar 2014 N: 4096 Nfactor: 11

Time: 1401532795 31 May 2014 N: 16384 Nfactor: 13

It could be the nFactor increase. You normally need to decrease the intensity (-i) when this happens to avoid HW errors.

Ok Noted ... but what about wallet being open .. i am guessing it has to be open and I have to have unlocked it in the debug console ... What happens if My wallet is open and unlcoked for 6 days ... then I reboot. or computer crashes as it is mining ... Will I lose those 6 days of coins sitting in my wallet for PoS ... Is there a PoS for dummies FAQ or something out there ... I feel bad asking all these questions but there literally is no information out there I feel there should be.

Don't worry, you wont lose anything if your machine crashes. Just keep the wallet open and unlocked. If you recieve a block you get coins and if you dont ... well, then you dont. But it doesnt matter how long your wallet is open, you dont need to keep it open 7 days!!! Just the coin age is important!

Regarding the PoS "not working", my CacheCoin wallet CPU usage is higher than my other wallets, I guess it's doing "something"?!?!?

POS doesn't require any significant CPU usage, so I daresay that isn't the cause of your high processor load.

Validating the blockchain needs CPU, that's maybe why you see it. It stops doing that after a certain amount of time.

~~How many coins have you in your wallet for it to mint that amount? I have ~100 with a coin age of 7 days+ and I haven't seen any staked coins yet.~~

After having talked briefly on IRC, my scenario (~100 coins, 14 days old) can expect to stake 0.2-0.4 CACH and luck plays a significant part.

another things I was wondering ...

To get PoS for CACHE, do you your wallet need to be open ? How do I remove encryption from my wallet if I have encrypted it ... ( not the command line) I just want to remove it altogether so I don't have to remember to enter it so that I can PoS coins .

also.. When exactly is the N factor Going up today ?

Cheers,

That is a very, very bad idea - no wallet should be kept unencrypted. To unlock for POS, run the command "walletpassphrase 99999999" in the debug console.

You won't loose you "days". The PoS miner looks at how old the transaction is. Not how long it has been open

So, I literally just started mining CACHeCoins about an hour ago. My R9 270s, on normal Scrypt, get a nice stable 480 or so, but I'm no where near that when I'm mining Cache.

I've been playing with settings in CGMiner, and I can't break 160 Kh/s per card. And weirdly, it doesn't seem to matter what I do, it's always 160. Intensity can be anywhere from 13 to 19, TC can be 8192 up to 12736, GPU Engine from 950 to 1070, I can even set the Mem clock between 800 and 1500 with no apparent hash rate changes.

Am I missing something? Shouldn't I be getting higher hash rates? I'm running SMOS with rmDavidson's version of CGminer. I didn't update the Catalyst drivers when I compiled, could that be it?

I'm starting off the command line like this: /opt/miners/cgminer/cgminer --scrypt-jane -I 15 --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 80 --temp-cutoff 85 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 800 --gpu-powertune 0 --gpu-threads 2 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-fan 75 --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388949883 -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3364 -u ********** -p ***********

Or is this just the expected hash rate after the nFactor change? 160 is pretty sad...

Seems about right...

There are plenty of persistent windows commands, issuing them once is sufficient.

setx is just editing system environment variables. Go to System Properties > Advanced > Environment Variables > User Variables

There's your 2 parameters.

So doubt or not, it works Wink

P2P (P2Pool.cachecoin.org) has been extremely stable for me, maybe it's your latency to the node? 1-2% rejects on 280x. 4.5% rejects on my 290's

I solo mine once hash drops back below 100MH/s.

Either way, good luck mining!
