Hi all

Newbie LTC pool miner here just looking for some clarification..

Just trying out ltc mining on my Dell XPS 17 (Intel Core i7 2670QM 6gb 2.20GH with Nvidia GT555m 590MHz/3gb dedicated video ram) with reaper and this is the output which seems strange..

Getwork took 7.29 s!   0|0, stale 0%, ~0 kH/s, 404s
Got LP9.7MH/s, shares: 0|0, stale 0%, ~0 kH/s, 415s

GPU 717.4MH/s, shares: 0|0, stale 0%, ~0 kH/s, 2106s

Any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks

Not mined for a while, but I forgot my PIN. Is there a way to reset it?

You bet.  PM me your username, I'll look it up and get the process started.

mind sharing your config? ive played with reaper a dozen times and just about every switch i could think of, and it always craps out after a few hours.

litecoin.conf:

Quote
host ltc.kattare.com
port 9332
user
pass


protocol litecoin

worksize 256
aggression 12
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 18
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 4096

Adjust aggro between 10-20

This thread concurrency works well with my XFX

reaper.conf:

Quote
kernel reaper.cl
save_binaries yes
enable_graceful_shutdown yes
long_polling yes
platform 0
device 0

mine litecoin


Hope this helps.  I know it put me back on a normal 5-10% stales

i brought in about 1mh today and my stales are terrible. im hovering between 15-25% personal stales, and the pool is sitting at 81% efficiency. I noticed some big boys came into the pool to play today - things a little haywire or can you offer some tips to reduce stales? using cgminer currently with 4 5830s.

I get around 10-12% stales myself, I would use reaper but it gets mad at me when I throw my mixed system at it(5870's and 6850 in the same box). When I did try reaper on that rig it gave me about 800kh/s less than I was supposed to get. When I use reaper on another rig, the 5850 just FLIES almost nearing 380kh/s at heavy OC.

Thanks! I was just putting in the wrong password, and I should have known better. That's what I get for trying out something new when I'm rushed and need to eat, lol.

I totally don't know what I'm doing wrong here. I've mined for BTC before but never LTC. I downloaded the cpuminer version 2.2.3, windows32, extracted the files and tried running the minerd in the command line of windows using:

minerd -url http://ltc.kattare.com:9332/ --userpass USER.1:PASS

where USER is the username, and PASS is the password. I keep getting URL returned error:403. Not sure whaat I'm doing wrong here. Help?

403 is an authentication issue.  It doesn't like your username/password combo.

This page (when you're logged in) has brief instructions on how to use a json config file: http://ltc.kattare.com/gettingstarted.php

Cheers.

cgminer --scrypt -o http://ltc.kattare.com:9332 -u user.1 -p password



try that and let me know

I run 5830s and have to use reaper it helps immensely as I posted before.

Setting -E 15 didn't help at all, but I noticed something.

The pool still reports essentially the full hashrate for the worker.  I think a lot of the stales may be duplicate submissions.

I'm going to post my reaper 13 beta 4 config for Radeon HD 7950 that's been working well for over 24 hours now, in case anyone else is trying to get this up. This is on stock voltage, CPU, and memory clock:

Quote from: reaper.conf
kernel reaper.cl
save_binaries yes
enable_graceful_shutdown yes
long_polling yes
platform 1
device 0
cpu_mining_threads 0

mine litecoin

Quote from: litecoin.conf
host ltc.kattare.com
port 9332
user YOUR_USER_NAME
pass YOUR_PASS

protocol litecoin

worksize 256
vectors 1
aggression 20
threads_per_gpu 1
sharethreads 32
lookup_gap 2
gpu_thread_concurrency 24576

reaper reports 578 kH/s with very little variance, stales are at 5-9%. Looking at "my stats" page, I see hourly kH variance, the range of values shown is 500 kH - 700 kH.

Note: be sure to give reaper the right "address" of your graphics card: in my case it's "platform 1, device 0". Default config reaper comes from is "platform 0, device 0" which would be Intel CPU for me. Don't let reaper mine on CPU - GPU hash rate drops due to that.

The stale and unknowns are WAY too high, what's going on?  I thought this was being addressed?  19% stale is not on my end, I've got 50MB fibre with a 32ms ping time, and I keep getting pool not providing work fast enough.  If this can't be addressed it makes no sense to stay.

Maybe you need to adjust -E option.

Yeah I too am getting crushed by stales after found blocks.  Is there anything I can do from my side?

EDIT: Switching from cgminer to Reaper seemed to help immensely

I was having this same issue, and today I updated to cgminer 2.11.0 (from 2.10.5), and it seems somewhat better.

After running for about 20 minutes now (12 new blocks on the network), my stats show A:402 R:29, or 7.21% rejected.

That's improved from 2.10.5 where it was showing about A:6000 R:800, or 13.33% rejected.

Edit: After a longer period, I'm now back at A:3864  R:608  NB:130.  I guess I didn't fix it after all.   Sad

Hey burnside,

First off, thanks for great work Smiley I've been on-and-off in BTC mining, and now that it's getting pointless to mine BTCs with GPU, I've decided to give LTCs a try. So far I'm having lots of fun with my 7950 and reaper Smiley

I'm here with a perhaps unusual offer. I'm a Linux Sysadmin / DevOps with about 8 years experience and a B.S. in CS from a good university, in my mid-20's, based in the U.S. I'd like to get a lot more into cryptocurrency, learn what are the challenges of operating a real pool, contribute a few fixes/improvements to infrastructure, etc. If you need a person like me to help with whatever it is you're working on, let's chat off-thread sometime. Rather than stumbling in the dark learning it all on my own, I'd be more than happy to help out an existing project.

If that sounds good to you, let's chat off-thread. Thanks!

Has anyone else experienced less stales running Reaper instead of CGminer?

I have always been able to match Reaper hash rates running CGminer and I have fully debugged my setup using CGminer.

Reaper looks like a whole new learning curve and it doesn't look like reaper handles overclocking internally, so I will have to get software and figure some way to script the overclocking...

Anybody have a quick and dirty GUI front end for reaper they suggest?

Planman

Reaper V13 beta4 64bit the newest one I am pretty sure. 

I am very new to this all so I am little help but these may help
