Code:

Single pool, first card regular desktop, 3 other dedicated cards:

cgminer -o http://pool:port -u username -p password -I d,9,9,9

Ok question about this setup... so how would I run this if I was using just one pool, but had one miner on the pool per card? So 4 cards, one desktop mode, one pool, but 4 different miners (so the miner/password would be different)? Can you put in that many in these arguments? I might need to switch to CGminer for my 7970 (am currently using GUIminer).

On Windows.

I had not further inspected the code. After further inspection, it is very very Linux specific. For Windows, I have no idea how this would work(considering I am on windows and for a moment was excited).

@conman

I suggest taking a look at this https://github.com/ius/radeonvolt and see if the license permits, to use it. The software is from what I see, able to detect VRM temps on a 58XX card(only, but still better than nothing). It also appears to enumare the number of GPUs in a better manner than the way you do it(by querying the opencl devices).

People need to know the VRM temps. My 5850's core can be 65C at max load, when my VRM temps skyrocket to 110C.

The license is fine (GPL v3), the amount of work would be significant though.

If I'm understanding your problem correctly, the answer is that they will all be "Below Target" until you actually mint a block for yourself (very rare, especially at only 500 MH/s)

What does share below target mean? I have never seen that when solo mining?
Sam

Verbose mode required to see it. It means that if you were on a pool you would have been counted as submitting a share, whereas solo mining it means you found something that looked good, but when tested wasn't good enough to be a real block, so worth nothing.

I am solo mining. However it feels like "share below target" are muuch slower than when pooling. I am getting 8-15 share below target at 500mh/s per 2 minutes as seen by log. Pooling at 500mh/s I am surely to get more shares per 2 minutes, yet...
Is there any problem with solo mining I should be aware of?

I am not basing this information just on that part of the image, but from overall observation.

Shares are random.
If you have ANY expectation of how often you will get them then you are misguided.
The only thing you can HOPE for is that over a VERY extended period of time you should on average get a number near the expected value.
You of course cannot guarantee it, only HOPE that you will.

For your hash rate of 500Mh/s the expected long term average based on the assumption that the difficulty used to calculate "share below target" is 1, is approximately 8.59 seconds per share.
If you hash 1,000,000 "share below target"s and the figure is vastly different from 99days 10hrs 5mins 34.6sec that still isn't beyond expectation.
Maybe if you hash around 10^10 of them are you are still way off the expectation then there MAY be an issue ...

I'd gladly make a donation for your time Kolivas. I want a specific startminers.sh script for linuxcoin final and cgminer2.0.7

Here is my current script:
#!/bin/bash
sudo aticonfig –od-enable
cd cgminer-2.0.7
./cgminer –o http://us.eclipsemc.com:8337 –u username –p password –I 9,9,9,9 --gpu-fan 100 --gpu-engine 800 --gpu-memclock 300

This is for 5970's I have three machines with 3 cards and eventually want 4 cards on each. I want to figure out how to make sure it will restart dead gpu threads.

Oh and I already have a Headless auto start script so I'm all set there.

If you are interested in helping me privately with this I will pay in bitcoin with a pre-negotiated price. we can consult through chat, IM, phone, email or skype.

please pm me if you're up for it. I will also set donation to .5% if you help me.

I'm not actually sure what it is you want... you have a script already and by default cgminer tries to restart dead GPUs already.

Buy this account on March-2019. New Owner here!!

I loose speeds with 11.11,,, I use 11.9

but if it worked before it should work again

try this, try to delete cgminer directory and then download it and extract it again
also if you get that opencl binary error wait a min, then quit with "q" dont just close the window
run it again and if you get the error again - run it this time as administrator
(I am not sure why this works but it works)

also make sure you are using -I 9 in your batch file or command line

This is not OK.

Oddness last night.

cgminer 2.1.0 was happily working when I stopped and restarted it. Came back saying there was a problem with opencl, binary was 0 bytes (or something).
Restarted machine - same thing
downloaded 2.1.2 - works OK, but lost 20MH/s!
Tried 2.0.8 - works, but again working -20MH/s
...and I need every MH I can get, only have 150 (was 170).

Setup is win7, cat 11.11, HD6670 + APU A6

Any ideas? Huh

I'm Still having some issues with Windows 7 & cgminer. regarding Memory clock. i can adjust core clock fine within cgminer.. or by using the .bat file. i cant adjust the mem clock in cgminer. or with the .bat file

Which card is giving you trouble Mash?
My Asus EAH6950 1GB DCII cards will only allow up to 125 MHz lower for the memory core than GPU. You try downclocking more and the card will just ignore it.

sapphire hd6870's the funny thing is it was working perfectly. then i had to restart the system and ever since then its not worked. even after updating versions. and reinstalling the drivers. i might try to go 125mhz lower and see what happens.

otherwise using trixx is working ok, but a bit annoying as if there is a problem its a bit of stuffing about to get it going properly again.

Thanks for doing this work. It will take me some time to review these patches as they're fairly large and I'm relatively low on cycles for anything more than a cursory glance at the moment.

A mining buddy Eliden got some weird problem with all versions of cgminer from 2.0.7 to 2.1.2

http://img841.imageshack.us/img841/6650/88077886.png this is the screenshot

The temps and the rpm of the fan disappearing on start of cgminer

Cgminer only reports what the ATI display library shows and does not show anything if it's not reporting results from a device. At the mercy of the ATI display library. If it stops reporting values there's nothing cgminer can do about it.

I think I found a bug. Compiling CGMiner with Yasm support gives me this error

Quote

undefined reference to `@Calc
Sha256_x86@12'

If I am correct, this means that the object files for the assembler compiled algorithm for x86_32 is not included in the makefile.

What do you suggest for a fix ckolivas?

Also, I appear to have found some bug regarding curses. Basically, upon exiting, the window(a command prompt) is not returned control. I.e I cannot change that windows's size at all nor scroll up.
