So CPU mining is over? Or does the CPU use a different diff (channels?)

I must admit, I don't understand either how the two can coexist.. what is the block reward for the cpu channel ?

Thanks , guys , I didn't see the modded exe, and I try it later...

Would you share some command line , I can't see any command line helpfile...
EDIT: I've set it , but getting only booos on my 900s
that's strange which exe are you using ? (did you recompile with 5.2 ? ).
My 980's are running fine, speed around 50~56MH/s

Regarding the 780, yeah the speed shouldn't be that high, it probably doesn't work properly.
Try the exe by mumus, using as #thread the number of cards.
I'll release soon a more conservative kernel for these cards having problem...

It's already the case, the "original" miner gets only booos


decrease the throughput, although with 4gb... (deactivate sli if it is activated).
The kernel being optimized for the 900's (well at least my 980's) you shouldn't have any problem at all

guys im still struggling with the linux compilation.  I'm now getting...

Code:
make  all-recursive

Making all in compat

make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/ubuntu/skminer_source'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/ubuntu/skminer_source'
make: *** [all] Error 2

I fixed the "))))" error in configure, ran autogen.sh, ./configure, then make
Any ideas?

Hi,
After all the miner is working, I've succeed to find blocks both on testnet and main net but it takes some time.  The trick is that  the above mentioned throughput  parameter has to be lowered or the number of threads (which was hard coded to 4) must be lowered. Currently with a single 750ti I can get about 16Mhash/s which was enough to get around 1 block/hour after running 3-4h.
In case someone  else want to give a try, here is an updated binary where the number of threads can be specified as a parameter after the port number.
actually it is a bug and shouldn't be a free parameter (well not yet actually and not like that) it should be "num_processors" ie in the context, the numbers of cards (put it in the printf but forgot to put it in the routine).  putting a number smaller than the actual number of card will run on a fewer number of cards
When the thread parameter is not specified i took the num_processors

the 780 is this compute 30 or 35 ?

My 780ti works well on it.
I think too, it is a problem with the gpu not working properly on your card, if it always return, it means it doesn't work properly.
however, the 750ti shouldn't have any problem.

Any of your cards attached to a monitor ?

For info it was compiled with vs2013
and boost 1_56 (the others dependencies being those of ccminers, except for pthread which isn't needed. )

also make sure you have the latest drivers and compiled with cuda 6.5

The miner still doesn't works here.
I'm also using VS2013. I've downloaded and installed the latest driver and CUDA Toolkit today. I'm on Windows 8.1 if that makes any difference. The Nvidia card is the only card in the system and it's attached to the main monitor.
I am also on 8.1, try to go sk1024.cu and replace const int throughput = 512*8 * 512 * 4; by const int throughput = 512*8 * 512 * 2;

Ok. Modifying the throughput parameter did the trick but I had to go down to 512*8 * 512 * 1. (RAM usage on the video card goes up about 1G+). Now the miner started to work reporting  about 16000 kHash/s.I'm running the miner against testnetbut  still no block was found after about 20min. I guess this is not good.

Did you build the miner with a compute-level, that is supported by your gpu?

My card supports 5.0 and it seams that the project parameters indicates that it's set to 5
it is set to compute 3.0; 3.5 and 5.0 (with the current version don't try to use 5.2, I have finally one version which works with compute 5.2, will update soon... no difference though...)

Difficulty is supposed to be approximately around 6, yet it's been showing like that for a while.
Minor little bug, I guess?
Working on this at the moment. The difficulty is calculated properly, just the display number is incorrect. I'll post 1.0.1c with the fixes to give accurate difficulty numbers when finished.

It is kind of funny how CUDA miner was finished earlier than OpenCL.
