Why does this garbage GPU miner not work on my machine ?

I get error -11

For AMD, use the latest driver.... 13.14 or something like that, not a beta, stable

And the guys that are working constantly on these GPU miners for us are doing a great job, so I take offence to calling them garbage Undecided

We have a difficult combo of 11 algorithms to deal with. The coin was designed to make it hard to transport to GPU so that the network could build slowly. There was a lot of thought that went into this coin, everything for a reason.

Will do thanks, i think I have the old one.
Much appreciate the dedicated and skilled work that goes into each and every line of hard won code.

That's better

I know it gets frustrating sometimes and we get grumpy

Well I've got 13.12, it turns out, do i need the new beta 14.1 ?
In fact I'll just try it anyway.

I was thinking about this earlier, does anyone know how hot GPUs run mining bitcoin? If that runs cooler I would tend to think the extra power draw and heat is because scrypt pretty much rewrites the entire ram available as fast as possible over and over again, whereas Bitcoin/Darkcoin would only use a small amount of ram.

Curiosity got the better of me... below are some test results for 2 x HD7950. Power is measured at the wall. Idle power is 210W.

darkcoin
hashrate: 3.80Mh/s
temps: 52,57
power: 415W

bitcoin
hashrate: 1.21 Gh/s
temps: 69,76
power: 680W

litecoin
hashrate: 1.34Mh/s
temps: 73,81
power: 740W

This may not be a valid comparison because I don't know how to optimize settings for bitcoin. All I did was fiddle with the intensity setting. Does 605Mh/s for each HD7950 sound reasonable?

Thanks for the info. I am also a little over half the power consumption mining Dark then any other coin. My room is also now bearable to sit in

How about posting your log and telling me what hardware you got instead of just trash talking myself and everybody else who has been slaving to get GPU miners out there.

do we believe in 0.003 that is the question

oh yee of so little faith! LOL I see no trouble getting to 0.003, in fact I expect it by next week, though I could very well be wearing rose colored glasses (duck)

No question about it...last night I suspected it won't dip into 0.0016 like couple days ago and bought up @ 0.0018... So glad I did.
Great buy support, coin is outstanding and that's before major exchanges etc.

Question is how long until 0.005. I don't think very long.

Hey guys just wondering if anyone tried mining darkcoin with betarig? Is it even supported?

Thanks.

Am I misunderstanding something about the diff adjustments, or is something strange going on? It's jumping from the 150s into the 260s while the network hash rate barely moves. Unless the pool display of network hash rate is off of course.

Edited to add: I understand KGW, but it shouldn't make diff jump around that much if the network hash rate goes from (e.g.) 4.3GH to 4.7GH. Should it?

Which pool are you mining on? When I was on smalltimeminer, it used to jump around like that. I think it is a configuration glitch with the MPOS web site... If you are GPU mining, you can see the net difficulty in the miner, and that seems to be more accurate. I think KGW might cause MPOS to spas every now and then

I'm on coinmine.pl at the moment. I'll check the CGMiner output next time it happens, though if it's an MPOS glitch it also extends to the displayed difficulty for solved blocks. Hmmmm.

Diff just jumped from 156 (block 21186) to 200 (block 21187) with no dramatic increase in network hash rate that I could see. Confirmed in CGMiner, so it doesn't seem to be an MPOS display issue. I understand that KGW doesn't cause linear diff increases, but should e.g. a 10% increase in network hash rate (which wasn't the case here) result in a ~33% diff increase?

About a 10% increase for me...

Any chance of a windows compiled version?

I removed now the big optimization, too much CPU dependent... Try now and PM me if you want again that 10%, I'll say to you what change on the code...

any chance of optimisations for Xeon E5450? when i get back home i have 28 of these waiting for some hashing

Try this version. I got a +10% with a i7. Some Xeon has the same improvement, same not. Let me know the improvement with your e5450. Send me a pm when u'll try.

ok i will, im getting them wenestday or thursday
