Yes to both questions. I've tried multiple pools, Always the same result.
CCminer keeps hashing away, but pools show nothing at all

Edit:

huh?

1. u added:


to your .BAT?

2. u have selected groestlcoin kernel in conf?

something has clearly been misconfigured if uve tried multiple pools.

So, none of the pools mentioned show me any profit or hashrate???
Shares are getting accepted, blocks get detected. Anyone else has this issue?

EDIT: CPU mining is shown, GPU mining is doing nothing at all?

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

Hi Atrides!

Thank you for your latest interest to GroestlCoin.

I wish you had more time for us when I asked you how to implement stratum mining for GroestlCoin (2 times in this thread, PM in BTC talk, and email on your pool page). It took me about 2 weeks to figure out myself. The time that I could have spent implementing other features like Android wallet / miner.

Thank you

Yes, bdver1. I will reboot and let run overnight to verify.

thanks very much - if u could please add it to the list:

I'm new to the forum but I just want to say that I am getting +2600 on a i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz (8 threads and stock/no OC). The numbers are about the same with both YAM M7q and YAM M7t (win64-Hawell eds.).

I pulled all the numbers from settings spreadsheet. The calculations are on the bottom of this page.

I usually use the AMD-FX8320 as reference CPU because I have one. In this case, I used FX8350 because it was on the sheet.

Is there a new miner that makes the calcs incorrect?

awesome, thank you.

block reward structure? i don't see it in the OP

nevermind i see it now, 6% reduction about each week

hi, what is the block reward structure like for this coin? has it already decreased at all? and is there a bamt that can mine this?

I decided to share my BAMT setup for GRS mining. For those, who don't know, BAMT is a very simle plug'n'play Linux distribution which is tailored to do only one thing: mine Scrypt coins. It also boots from 4GB+ flash drive, so you don't need to do any setup, just boot and mine. See https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=2924.0

Somehow, I could not get my R9 290 to perform as good in Windows 7. I tried 13.11 and 13.12 drivers. It could only achieve 8.5MHS. With BAMT I go as far as 9.8MHS.


Tested on BAMT 1.3 with Sapphire R9 290 TriX and Gigabyte R9 270X.
Here are the steps:

0. Download precompiled sph-sgminer from https://mega.co.nz/#!5F5kFLAR!tTDIYnsIL4NyBhe4A7nK63S9FREhCkmkSpsih64pIRM.
1. Bamt control \ stop mining sessions.
2. Accessories \ File Manager, browse to /opt/miners/ folder.
3. Rename existing "cgminer" folder to cgminerscrypt.
4. Copy contents of my ZIP file to "cgminer" folder.
5. Step inside the cgminer folder, locate "cgminer" file, right click it.
6. Switch to "Permissions" tab and turn on "Make the file executable".
7. Now go to /etc/bamt/ folder.
8. Backup your existing cgminer.conf to cgminerscrypt.conf.
9. Make cgminer.conf similar to something like this (Use recommended settings for your card, see https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Atmcd1XbwbURdFVhT0w5RXdvcUdKdXVQVUt1blZZSHc#gid=0, this config is for "R9 270X, R9 290, R9 290"):
{
"pools" : [
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://erebor.dwarfpool.com:3345",
      "user" : "YourWalletHere",
      "pass" : "p"
   },
   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://grs.cpu-pool.net:3650",
      "user" : "YourLogin",
      "pass" : "YourPass"
   },
   {
      "url" : "192.168.1.7:1441",
      "user" : "u",
      "pass" : "p"
   }
],

"gpu-engine" : "1225,1205,1205",
"gpu-memclock" : "1075,150,150",
"xintensity" : "512",
"thread-concurrency" : "21568,32767,32767",
"gpu-threads" : "1",

"auto-fan" : true,
"temp-cutoff" : "85,95,95",
"temp-overheat" : "80,90,90",
"temp-target" : "72,80,80",
"gpu-fan" : "25-80",
"worksize" : "256",

"api-port" : "4028",
"kernel" : "groestlcoin",
"gpu-powertune" : "20",
"scan-time": "1",
"expiry" : "5",
"queue" : "16"
}

10. Finally, do Bamt control \ start mining sessions.

Note: sph-sgminer webpage https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-sph-sgminer-multi-coin-multi-algorithm-gpu-miner-added-marucoin-475795 recommends 4 threads, but somehow this results in dropping hash rate in approx 10 minutes. This happens only in Linux, in Windows it's all ok with 4 threads. So if you have similar problems, try 1 thread.


PS: Use the lowest possible RAM frequency (which is 150Mhz for my R9 290 and 1075 for my R9 270X), high memory frequencies are not needed for GROESTL.

Great tutorial

Which version of yam did u use for testing FX-8320 (bdver1) and is this properly optimized for the FX-8320? I see the FX-8320 is compared in some bencmarks to an i7-3770K. Multi-thread benchmarks show the cpus performing similarly, albeit the Intel faster.

I would expect a better result for the FX-8320 - will PM yvg1900 re this.

Allrighty then. I retested on my CPU. After setting up huge pages and fine tuning, the hash rate on my CPU is 1340kh/s. That's lower than the FX8350 number used in the previous GPU Advantage calc so the GPU Advantage rose slightly.

I have reorganized my list based on market cap (previously it was GPU Advantage) so Groestlcoin is much closer to the top.

Finally, here is a how-to for pool mining Groestlcoin with your CPU -> http://cpucoinlist.com/how-to/cpu-mine-groestlcoin/

Why are yo overclocking your memory???
Downclock memory, you'll save lots of power trading for 1-2% drop in hashrate... and will get more stability.
What are temps of your cards (with GPU-Z, it should report seceral different temps, for GPU/Ram/voltage regulator)
