I really want to get this working and I've tried so many times and failed due to the "Cannot connect to server issue". I've decided to delete everything and start again, hopefully someone can tell me where I'm going wrong!

1. Downloaded Smelter 0.3a from http://rghost.net/49940688
2. Found the folder where my Quark QT wallet is installed and extracted the 3 files from the zip into this folder:

smd.cmd
smelter
smelter.exe

3. In the same folder I created quarkcoin.conf, Offering.conf and securecoin.conf and added the following information

Quote

listen=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=8772
server=1

4. Checked the smd.cmd file to make sure it had the same username/password. I didn't alter this file, even left the original wallet file is as this is just a test.
5. Double clicked smd.cmd.... Smelter opens.... Error: curl_easy_perform() failed: Couldn't connect to server

HELP! PLEASE! I'm going insane

6. Added --debug to the smd.cmd file and ran again and got the following:

You have your Quark wallet open right? It has to be running and up to date.

Also your smd.cmd file shows 8385 as port while your config files shows 8772. They have to match to connect.

Also your .conf files should be in the respective coins appdata folder not in teh smelter folder.

Thanks, moved the file to that folder and I got the same problem - Cannot connect to server.

Try changing the port in your cmd file to the one you have in your .conf file.

After 2-3 hours miner work, speed suddenly drops to "0". GPU load is also 0%. Helps only restart miner. What could be the problem?

Tried both 0.3 and 0.3a and they both quit with

Failed to read source file: ./quark0td/kernel/kernelQuark.cl
SummonProgram failed
ThreadHost::Thread() unexpected exception:clCreateKernel call failed

Try 0.2, it has the same features and speed

there is no linux version of smolens gpu miner - am i right?

yes, there is no common build available

Quote from: CoinBuzz on December 11, 2013, 05:10:40 PM

how much is it's performance for example for a 7950 ?

How much better than pure cpu ?

My sapphire 7950 used to mine around 1,45Mhash/s at 1050/1400 clocks at 1.1v
3570k running at 4,2GHz got to 750khash/s

Mining SRC or QRK is pretty much waste of time considering network speeds and block rewards, if one without botnet wants those, best way would to buy them and mine something more profitable´or usable (like curecoin ^^)

A question about smelter, then, specifically worksize. When I am pool mining with scrypt, I notice that when I raise my worksize the pool server notes a higher share rate even though my hashrate is less than if I lower my worksize. Is the same true with solo mining for QRK or SRC with smelter? I notice a hashrate drop of 40% when I increase my WS from 128 -> 256, but will this translate to a 40% drop in block discovery rate or does the worksize compensate for that?

The best indicator is reported hashrate, adjust your settings for the best hashrate, there is no "compensation" or any other accounting tricks. Quark kernel uses too much registers, so increasing worksize lead to so-called "register spill" and GPU power is wasted on useless memory <-> register file transfers.

The ability to specify which gpu to mine would be great..I use my 5870 for normal activities and my second card for mining.

Already in my TODO list

Help needed. On the latest verison I see that -I is set to 200 is this a typeo or actualy ment to be 200

Meant to be 200. The intensity scaling for Smelter has a bigger range than cgminer or guiminer.

Intensity value is time for a single clEnqueueNDRangeKernel call in milliseconds. 200 ms is a good value for dedicated mining PC, but you'd lower it to gain better desktop interactivity.

Any idea how to use a pool?

Currently Smelter is for solo mining only, don't expect pool server soon Sad

Quote from: rmhuntley on December 06, 2013, 06:52:31 PM

Downloaded the latest version of smelter, edited the sm file, and get "couldn't connect to server"

Try adding "--debug" option, may be there will be a hint in log messages. Error diagnostics in Smelter is rudimentary, I know Sad

Is there a specific location I should be saving Smelter and its files to in order to avoid the "couldn't connect to server" issue? Should it be in with the Quark QT wallet or something?

btw - I didn't get stung by that nasty Quark Stealing fake miner even though I downloaded it. I guess I'd deleted its files before it took the opportunity to steal from my formerly unencrypted wallet.

i think about crypting my wallets and put testpayments from the pools before getting all from the pool

Well from the logs in the pictures above I thought it had corrupted the files
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\tzres.dll
C:\Windows\System32\WSHTCPIP.DLL
So I am hesitant to say just deleting is enough Cry

moral of the story is lock all your wallets, quarks were the only one that I have much in that wasn't locked and now well doesnt have anything

Nope, it doesn't corrupt the files,
it just opens them to access the dll's features.
WSHTCPIP.dll is a WinSock Helper plugin, used in networking.
Tzres.dll is used to manage timezones.

Changing files last modified date back to what it was before is easy.

C:\Windows\System32\WSHTCPIP.DLL

Both files have a "last changed" Date in 2009 and 2010, so there could not have been a modification or am i wrong?

It's a shame about the ScarletRose scam. I know we were all looking for something that was (at least for now) too good to be true. I imagine smolen is probably snickering at us all right now Wink

A question about smelter, then, specifically worksize. When I am pool mining with scrypt, I notice that when I raise my worksize the pool server notes a higher share rate even though my hashrate is less than if I lower my worksize.

I notice a hashrate drop of 40% when I increase my WS from 128 -> 256, but will this translate to a 40% drop in block discovery rate or does the worksize compensate for that?

I have managed to find 1 block of SRC with smelter, so I am definitely looking forward to future development of this project. Keep up the good work.
