Apparently this is a problem:

Code:

cgminer.exe -c cgm0 -T
[2013-12-29 23:33:00] Started cgminer 3.4.0
[2013-12-29 23:33:00] Loaded configuration file cgm0
[2013-12-29 23:33:00] clDevicesNum returned error, no GPUs usable

[2013-12-29 23:33:00] Command line options set a device that doesn't exist

Also, if this helps:

Code:

cgminer.exe -n

Ohai!

Post title pretty much sums it up. Read up some stuff on bitcoins and altcoins, and decided to give it a try with Gridcoin.

Got BOINC installed, got the latest gridcoin-qt.msi, installed it, then tried to configure it to the best of my ability.

Problem is the miner won't start. I've added the gridcoin.conf file, server settings, used the 7870-Pitcairn profile, then created the CG Miner instance. I try (re)starting the miner from the Gridcoin module, however I only get a quick flash of a cmd window opening then closing again within a second.

Here's my gridcoin.conf:

Code:

server=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9332
server=1
poolmining=false
gen=0
dev0_gpu_thread_concurrency=8192
dev0_worksize=256
dev0_intensity=13
dev0_lookup_gap=2
dev0_enabled=True
dev0_name=0 - Pitcairn - Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
dev0_gpu_thread_concurrency=8192

And here's my cgm0:

Code:

{
  "pools" : [
   {
   "url" : "http://127.0.0.1:9332/",
   "user" : "username",
   "pass" : "password"
   }
],
"api-listen" : true,
"api-port" : "4000",
"api-allow" : "W:127.0.0.1",
"intensity" : "13",
"vectors" : "1",
"worksize" : "256",
"scantime" : "7",
"kernel" : "scrypt",
"scrypt" : true,
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192",
"gpu-engine" : "0",
"temp-cutoff" : "80",
"temp-overheat" : "70",
"temp-target" : "60",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"gpu-platform" : "0",
"device" : "0"
}

Any idea how to proceed? Cheesy

Such cheers, very holidays, wow! (during my research I stumbled over dogecoin, and thus the doge meme)

EDIT: Solved by changing the gpu-platform setting in cgm0 from 0 to 1.
