any news about CUDA mining?
November 13, 2014, 02:14:47 PM
I noticed that with solo mining hash rate is 30% higher than to mine trough the pool.

i think need a good miner for GPU , this miner is working on 1 VGA card for one time open . When i open more bat file to run multi cards , speed of each card decrease and cards only use about 50-60% . Need a new miner update or another gpu miner 
Its better to use the cpu-miner at the moment. Even if gpu mining is a little faster - it consumes lots of extra energy.

If the processor is a good, work all the cards to near 80%
I have so where should the FX 8150: 7970 - 280000 pps, R9 280x - 260 000 pps, R9 270x - 180 000 pps and one computer 720 000 pps.

Notice I removed the --stratum and changed your thread count to 1 - this is the CPU threads for the overhead calculations. I also changed the port # to the higher difficulty port to reduce stress on the pool.
Does the difficulty differ on each ports? Why some of you are setting higher threads number? I was setting 1 or no thread number at all... but still havn't solved my problem with 0 pps on GPU.
yes, port 4200 is the standard (low) difficulty for CPU. 4205 is slightly higher difficulty for windows GPU and 3385 is the stratum port. As for 0 PPS - it sounds like your GPU(s) are not doing any actual work. Are you seeing any errors when you start up the miner? Maybe post a screenshot of the start-up output.
Your thread settings will depend on the core/thread count that your CPU can handle. If you have a 4 core CPU and 4 GPUs then you want 1 core for each. If you have an 8 core CPU, then you can increase this to 2 threads per GPU. The GPU miner is still very CPU intensive, so you don't want to overload it. I find that I can only support 2 GPUs on my linux miner - even though I have 4 cards
I have Intel G860 and he can not keep long one R9270X, hangs miner, But on another computer AMD 8150 Fx (HD 7970+R9 280X+R9 270X) and everything is okay.

You need to run a separate instance for each GPU - so you would have 4 start.bat files
gapminer-gpu.exe -o http://mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 4205 -u user.1 -x password -t 1 --use-gpu -d 0
gapminer-gpu.exe -o http://mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 4205 -u user.1 -x password -t 1 --use-gpu -d 1
gapminer-gpu.exe -o http://mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 4205 -u user.1 -x password -t 1 --use-gpu -d 2
gapminer-gpu.exe -o http://mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 4205 -u user.1 -x password -t 1 --use-gpu -d 3

thanks for your reply.
i had done so, but i got another problem that GPUs usage reduce average from 95% to 65%
hope this issue being solved in the new miner version

Just cause you were in the settings of the pool. Thank you for answering
Here are my settings bat file for R9 270X: gapminer-gpu.exe -d 0 -o http://mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 4200 -u user.1 -x password -t 20
Working? Remove the --stratum in your connection string.
how to set 4VGAs run together?
only VGA #0 run (with or without "-d 0")
gapminer-gpu.exe -d 0 -o http://mine3.gap.nonce-pool.com -p 4200 -u user.1 -x password -t 20 --stratum --use-gpu

when solo mining
how do you make a rpc username and password ?
gapminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1 -p 31397 -u -x -t 4
how do you make a rpc username and password ?
gapminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1 -p 31397 -u
you put it in your gapcoin.conf:
server=1
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
(maybe rpcallowip=*)
I'm quite new to all this stuff and I have no idea where my .config file would be...
Windows? in %APPDATA%\gapcoin\
Linux? $HOME/.gapcoin/
there is the appdata folder, no .conf file ?
I keep getting a "unable to connect to server" error
the text file should be saved as gapcoin.conf, correct ?

I guess the new cpu miner is not a good idea cause of botnets. It's a two sides of coin again.
making GPU miner work with sieve algorithm will take care of that, mine with CPU while you can
what would be really nice is to attract fpga to encode the algo, now that would be something, for that time has to pass I think, imagine size of primes then.. would scare cryptologists for sure

the price is too low,can't earn back power fee.
put wallet in an encrypted USB stick it in a glass jar and burry underground for some time
I have a feeling and image in my mind of bunch of people digging ground to look for jars with bitcoins in em'
hey! gap looks great network hash accelerated while at the same time still allowing people to get to coins even on lower end CPU's , nice! exellent coin

Go ahead and create it. Its a text-file.
