i have been mining using your restart bat files, so far 1 block in 24 hours.... the previous day (yesterday) i found 7 blocks, now only 1 single block

its because you dont have  a brain

says "ozzy"  lol... "of all the things I've lost, I miss my mind the most"  --Ozzy Osbourne

But really... is anyone really having good luck with XPM solo any more?  the difficulty is mighty high but this calculator should be close: http://anty.info/primecoin-calculator/

I dont have luck any more with solo.... I was tried to figure out where is the problem. And don`t say because of high diff. I am found blocks with high diff. someone can check diff at these days:

7.1.2014 8 block
7.2.2014 8
7.3.2014 6
7.4.2014 3
7.5.2014 5
7.6.2014 8
7.7.2014 5
7.8.2014 5
7.9.2014 4
7.10.2014 2
7.11.2014 3
7.12.2014 1
7.13.2014 0

this was 8x280x
after that no luck... 2-3 block for a day
wher i can check difficulty for these days for statistics
thanks

i have been mining primecoin with 5 x 290x GPU and after 6 days of mining this was my results:

day 1: 8 blocks
day 2: 5 blocks
day 3: 5 blocks
day 4: 4 blocks
day 5: 1 block
day 6: 1 block (today)

anyone else having this kind of low block performance too?

I've noticed in msi afterburner that the cards don't always run at 100% after a while.  I think its  a bug in the miner. i just reboot the miner every couple hours with the batch script i posted earlier in this thread.

v12.1 is available:

- Added "-r" option.
- Fixed some connectivity issues.

Thanks for doing this, but it still crashes with "-r 1"

try setting:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 85
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

Thanks for the tip.  Still crashes. i'm at a loss. just keep mining with 11 i guess.

Claymore, i also noticed a small bug.  If you start the miner while the client is still syncing, it goes into a loop waiting for it to sync.  The moment it syncs the miner crashes.

I cannot reproduce it for some reason. During sync the wallet sends a lot of blocks to miner, it displays them, but with no error.

some times the when the miner is restarted ..its not able to connect to pool and it goes into loop for retry after 10 seconds...there should be a limit for that..if that time limit is crossed the miner should restart again...

Claymore,
I have noticed that the program will error out very ungracefully (looks like a memory leak) if the internet connection gets dropped while the miner is attempting to either submit a share and/or reconnect after a while with no sucess.  It seems to happen almost every time if the internet has been down for more than a couple hours.

You should be able to replicate this problem by starting out the miner connected and hashing, and then disconnecting the internet and waiting for a day or so.

I will test it now.

Claymore we need a fix for this miner getting restarted over and over please

Ok, I'll release update in a day, I'm going to add an optional mining mode, a bit slower (1-2%) but with less memory usage, also "-r" option to restart miner automatically.

Claymore,

Got any other ideas on how to get Ver 12 running without it constantly crashing my drivers?
