Chuckle...love it!!

A NVIDIA gtx 970 should be around 100% faster than a AMD 280x when mining nist5

opensource ccminer(sp-mod release 50) vs opensource sgminer(5.1.1).

Great news

Pools don't always follow protocol.

There was a bug in the hashrate NIST5 in some of the .4x versions. But It is fixed in release 50.
Nist5 haven't been profitable for a long time, but now new coins have made this algo very profitable on NVIDIA with the latest SP-mod.

Release 50 is hashing fine with few rejects at yaamp. Just let the miner run for a while and the rejects are gone. In the beginning of the hashing, the difficulty is low, and the pool will try to find the correct extranonce size and difficulty. When a extranounce is reset, or the difficulty is changed, the minersoftware needs to reset all the work, and not submitt results. I will add another switch to fix this. "Don't submit shares after disconnect or extranonce change."
Similar to the switch in sgminer.

Fellas...fellows..FELLAS!!! Wow,.... Gentlemen! Everyone...OFF the high horse and down to biz. Stop the 'bitch-fest' and let's try to find a solution. Can we? So far, and no complaints about previous attempts, a solution has NOT been found. We all are aware of that. A once in a while, isn't a fix. Heads together...let's find a way!

Thank You

i noticed that sam ...

if you look at the graph - i even pointed some of the farms miners on x11 - and it does exactly what you say it does ...

and further - the amount of rejects are almost 98% ...

it seems that yaamp and westhash have this issue due to the extranonce sizes - yaamp especially ( but both yaamp and westhash / nicehash ) ...

we mine blackcoinpool also - and using the same stratum-proxy that we do for the donation link ( which we have just setup for granitecoin donation and will for devs if they would like ) - we dont get any of those sorts of issues also ...

so we are replicating the exact same issues you are receiving - regardless of whether its through the donation link OR directly ...

we have also been mining through mintsy - and renting out the farm via mintsy ... its does the same thing - except that it shows NO results for mining on the sites ( yaamp or westhash ) but accepted shares on the miner ...

when we contacted the devs on mintsy - they said that they are working on a fix for this - but due to the extranonce2 size changes - even their stratum backends were having issues too ...

we are not alone ... but there does not seem to be any fix for it - yet ...

Hi everyone, i think this is a problem with multipools like yaamp, nicehash/westhash etc.
I mined with release49 for 24 hours on blockcoinpool and never got any errors with 2920 khash/s and 98.5% accept rate.
I have been mining on crysx's proxy for last 24 hours which inturn mines on yaamp and i got similar errors, hashrate of only 2890 khash/s & ~85% accept rate.

Regards

Sam

bensam ... i wake up and go through each post as i read them ... then i post ... i dont read the WHOLE thread then go back ... too much time wasted ...

douchebag? ... well - i certainly dont go out of my way to do anything of the like to become something like that ...

i realized after reading the rest that i had posted a little too early ...

my mistake bensam - i didnt mean to offend you ...

it was more constructive that it was an attack - as you so clearly took it ... so once again - my apologies ...

im not here to attck anyone - just to be as constructive as i can ...

you're aggression is uncalled for and certainly not welcome - but i wont take offense ...

ill put my tail between my legs and take it on the chin ... there is no opposition on my part - nor am i trying to provoke ...

as for you 'letting' me get the 'last word' in - geez tanx ... im appreciative of that ... :|

it really DOES show how 'respectable' you really are ... nice one ...

stop thinking that im against you and that im just spilling my 'shit' here - and instead work with me as well as the rest of the community to sort things ... and stop the aggression bensam ...

im no genius - but it does not take one to work things out with the whole communities input ... SHEESH! ...

in any case ( and more to the point ) - ccminer does not have anything built in - its been conversed many times over previously and in other threads ... it would be nice if it did like sgminer - but its not built that way ... maybe one day some dev will extend it to that ...

apparently a batch file in windows consistently crashes on exit also - but that is of no real consequence IF the rotational batch works ..

im looking for a working batch ( working by means of others opinions and experience here - i dont use windows ) - because i remember in one of the threads that someone had a WORKING version of the batch for windows ...

minercontrol seems to be the one app that is always brought up ... maybe time to test with windows on a couple of machines on the farm and see ...

sp - would it be that hard to add a --failover or --load-balance ( like in sgminer ) option to your ( sp-mod) fork? ...

#crysx

You didn't notice that till other people pointed it out, good catch on that one after the fact bro. Quit being a douche and move on already. I let you get the last word in and you went out of your way to do this again. You don't want to ruin the thread, don't start shit.

Me not responding to your earlier 'spiel' and then you going 'oh I'm good enough to not say anything else' right after you did was not you winning. It was me being the respectable person and setting things down and moving on, because I actually care if this devolves into a two-three page long bitch fest. Don't assume a lack of a response is submission, rather restraint and self control. Exactly what you were preaching, but couldn't practice.


In the batchfile I gave I had MM pools in front of the westhash pool and it fell over to the westhash pool, I didn't check to see if it picked up the MM pools after they cameback up. As per other people, apparently it wont swap back to other pools when they come up (although one person said it does on occasion). As I said I thought it was the same as sgminer, but it might be different.

i thought ccminer had no form of failover bensam? ...

in fact - ive tested your setup - and it seems ccminer only picks up the second pool that you input and mines there only ...

sgminer has failover builtin ... we have both running in the farm - and only sgminer drops to failover when the pool drops ...

miner control or other packages ( all windows which we cant use here due to linux - as far as i know anyway ) are the ones that do that 'for' ccminer ...

would be nice if it was built in ...

what should I try for startup batch
i am getting more boos than yay's

currently using standard batch with no intensity adjustment
ccminer -a x11 -o stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com:3336 -u  -p

using nicehash because westhash just gives me nothing but rejects or timeouts -
located on US west coast 100MB connection

I believe the extranonce size message is new but normal. The ctrl-c crash is a problem that was
introduced in a recent release. There is some discussion about it earlier in this thread, around the
time the problem first appeared. It would be nice if it was fixed.

ccminer does not support failover. A bat file can implement a crude failover mechanism but
it won't revert when the primary pool comes back online. it will only switch when the backup
disconnects. As such it will only guarantee that it will keep trying until it finds a pool that works
and will stay on that pool until it fails.

Such a bat file is useful when the pool supports profit swicthing among various algos.

Real failover handling for ccminer requires a non-trivial script or application that will monitor the ccminer
process and the pools to determine when a pool fails and recovers and take appropriate action.
You might want to take a look at Minercontrol. I've never used it but I believe it can manage failover
with ccminer.
 

Release 50 --- this is acting odd for me

Also when I do use CTRL-C it gives me a windows error (unhandled win32 exception occurred in ccminer)
release 45 is still stable for me

Or use something like this:
But when you use BAT files then ccminer is stuck at the backup pool, even when the first pool comes back online.

I have optimized scrypt too. from 260Khash to 282khash on a standard clocked 750ti. launch config  -l 5x24.

8% faster, but not profitable, so why bother..

place the bat file in directory with ccminer. Make link to desktop and run it.

I think it is...not sure.

And then it could crash...it's still at the goto loop....looking for ccminer.exe  that it can't find.
