starting to feel pretty pointless soloing on just 2 280x @ this point i'd be happy to find a 10chain just to know the latest version is working... stats seems good but yeh i'm about ready to throw in the towel here.

That's the down side of solo mining when a coin is too high in diff, luck/chance is low. At least with a pool, the luck is distributed more equally and with the help of the pool of miners combine hash power.

I haven't pulled in a 10-ch and/or a block for the past 28 hours. Even though the stats are better in the latest miner and the diff has changed a bit for the past couple of days.

im using 14.3 but it mines after that as shown also runing cpu usage 11 and look at the usage

Ok, please keep me updated.

Re CPU usage:
Please make sure that it's "-cpuusage=11", not "-cpuusage 11" (You'll probably need a lower value if it's the case)

found a block to bad it was a orphan

"This has never been a problem before because it doesn't impact actual mining performance and I use .bat files to launch all the other miners I use and apply the clock speeds and whatnot within said .bat files."

Correct me if i'm wrong here but he's saying it already works for scrypt don't see how it wont work... not sure u even need dummy plugs these days u just disable ULPS. Unless this is some issue caused by nvidia card and amd card in the same system which i've never done so cant say.

I've had nvidia/amd rigs before, trust me...he may apply clocks in the bat files but they won't do squat without a dummy or a monitor.

So I have a problem I'm hoping someone can solve. This machine runs a 560 TI in the 'main' pci slot as main video/games/etc card, and a visiontek R9 270x in the 2nd as a full time scrypt miner. Due to amd+nvidia in one machine, the r9 really does not like to properly read out temps(i manually keep that under control, no worries there) or allow changes made in MSI Afterburner, and has a readout of zero on every sliderbar in MSI.

This has never been a problem before because it doesn't impact actual mining performance and I use .bat files to launch all the other miners I use and apply the clock speeds and whatnot within said .bat files. Being that this miner doesn't run that way like CGminer/SGminer/etc, can anyone recommend a workaround? I don't know how to enter any variables currently, so it simply runs at default settings, getting 0.60 expected CPD.

You need a dummy plug to be able to oc and whatnot...

you can also start cgminer with a bat file containing the clock speed u want for ur 270x and simply close it after it starts, afterwards the drivers remember the settings

until u reboot the machine or change them some other way.

Nope won-t work without ADL *he 100% needs a dummy plug in windows.

I opted to get a 2nd license +1 to devs for quick turn around on license request happily running latest build on 2 280x now 2.89 cpd =) the new cpuusage increase has helped

btw i notice the cpd goes to shit if the cpu usage spills over onto ht cores (will try disabling ht from bios when i get a chance)

What cpu?

I'll try with and without ht on my 3820 then...or use affinity. :p

E3 1230v3 i also found sweet spot @ cpuusage=9

Edit 9 happily makes use of HT without killing performance, very slight boost to 2.9-3 cpd using 9 vs 8 (8 doesnt bring Ht into play for me at least)

We added new order processing system to our web site.

Please put your orders for the miner here: http://primegpu.com/buynow.html

We will handle manually only orders of more than 10 licenses.
In this case you can also use the processing system but also can put your request by email, PM or via this thread https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/primecoin-gpu-miner-orders-554697

If the number of requested licenses is less than 10 we do not guarantee the answer because of we really overloaded with tons of emails.

Currently existing customers could contact by PM in the same way they use now.

things are getting harder so dont expect the same as a week ago were at 10.48x and ypool has added about 9k more workers now i think if primegpu ever make this pool compatible he should choose beeeeer.org

of course we can get lucky and a bunch of botnets shutdown but i doubt it because it free to them regardless
i dont ever see ypool cracking down on them but beeeeer.org seems to be
