I am not sure what it means, "invalid nonce"? The word "nonce" suggests this is a message that I can ignore, but perhaps it is a specific term in bitcoin?
Notice the "HW: 180" on this line of the cgminer output:
Code:
GPU 0: | 215.9M/222.4Mh/s | A:0 R:0 HW:180 U:0.00/m I: 4
This indicates that you're getting quite a lot of hardware errors which is what the "invalid nonce" errors are about. There are three things that generally cause hardware errors:
1. Incorrect thread-concurrency setting. If your thread-concurrency is set too high or too low, hardware errors can result. Solution: Find your GPU here: https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/wiki/Mining-hardware-comparison and adopt a thread-concurrency that is known to work.
2. The GPU is overclocked or undervolted too much. Solution: Reset your card back to default clockspeeds and voltages; use this as a starting point.
3. The GPU is damaged or defective (unlikely). Solution: RMA the card or order a replacement
My best guess is that your thread-concurrency is simply set to an incorrect value. Seek out some good cgminer settings for your particular GPU at the github page linked above.
I've passed the invalid nonce error, now I've got some -5 error or something. I just want to mine litecoin!
This is a bit of a shot in the dark but if you're getting the error that I think you might be getting you need to run this command before starting cgminer:
Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
or, on Linux:
Code:
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
Hopefully you can get up and running as soon as possible, good luck!
