Topic: CGMiner crash (Read 2555 times)
I managed to get bitminter client working comfortably now, I just wanted to mine some Bitcoins so I could pay for a new webhost that shouldn't suck
Thanks, I'll try and see if it works.
This is your GPU returning invalid hashes from it's kernel. This is because new drivers are crap for older cards.
- Uninstall AMD APP SDK
- Uninstall AMD Catalyst Install manager: choose "uninstall all software", make sure you have only a VGA driver after restart.
- Manually remove these files not removed by the installer; any other obvious ATI files with the same file date:
C:\Windows\System32\amdocl64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\amdoclcl64.dll
C:\Windows\System32\OpenCL.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdocl.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\amdoclcl.dll
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\OpenCL.dll
- Install just the Catalyst 11.11 driver package (no SDK is needed; the AMD APP runtime is included with driver)
- Mine just a bit slower on your 6870 than a 5830 would.
Better:
- use cgminer
- set phatk worksize to 256 and underclock GPU RAM to 300MHz for best power efficiency and higher hashrate

Listener for "50BTC Miner": pool.50btc.com:8332 04/08/2013 07:41:00, Verification failed, check hardware! (0:0:Cayman, c0416e50)
I switched to GUIMiner and I'm getting the error "ValueError: need more than 1 value to unpack"
Thanks, I'll give it all a shot it's cooled down finally now so I can think straight lol
Edit: well it's not crashing now but it's not running like normal either which is strange because I can get it mining fine on litecoin alt. currencies etc.

Two things to try:
- Put "http://" in front of the pool URL
- Try pool URL "stratum+tcp://stratum.50btc.com:3333"
Also, change your intensity argument to the shorten version, -I

I'm sure I'm doing something really dumb that I'd normally spot but it's been so hot here I'm too tired to think properly, would appreciate it if someone could take a look at my settings, my miner starts up and then just crashes when I try to connect to the 50BTC pool.
