Just figured I would report my results with the .99 firmware. It's been running stable since yesterday when I upgraded.

My mercury was running .96 prior, ~141GH most of the time.

With .99 it's been averaging ~155GH with dips into the high 140's.

Awesome work KNCMiner, thanks! I wonder if I will see 175 or 200 in the future? Lol

Where do you take these speeds from? Can you post a screenshot please.

Thank you.

I thought getwork-based solo mining didn't work well or at all anymore, and that you needed a stratum proxy of some kind to achieve reasonable efficiency, especially with a large amount of hashpower.

I solo mined alts for 10 minutes one day as an experiment and kept getting "pool is not providing work fast enough" error.

No idea if the same goes for btc solo mining.

Would be interested if anyone has set up stratum proxy for solo mining and how they did it.

I'm pretty sure you need a stratum pool, not a proxy for solo mining:

Damn that's a complex post Shocked

You could be right about needing a stratum pool, or how else will you be able to set the difficulty? It's not something you can set in cgminer, so it has to be somewhere further down the food chain Undecided

Again, just use BFGMiner and your problems will be solved. It uses GBT for solo mining, so you don't need stratum.

How do you tell it what difficulty to use?

In solo mining, the difficulty is the network difficulty. The only accepted share you will see is when you solve a block.

Now this is new. cgminer is reporting ~2Mh/s on avg but the 5s is normal and pool speed is normal. This is with 0.99, but everything was fine from yesterday until i had to shut the miner off. It started normal, but after 30 mins i got this 2Mh/s. I don't care so much about cgminer as long as it's hashing, but this is interesting.

EDIT: I should add that BFGMiner is already installed on your KnC miner if you are using Bertmod 0.3.

15? The range seems to indicate a max val of 10, no?

you're totally right.

just looked up what the mentioned value was and then I though let's add the line from the documentation
should have read my post before sending it Undecided

Saw this in another thread:

Quote from: os2sam on November 12, 2013, 03:33:48 PM

In CGMiner you can increase your ST (Staged Work) by increasing your queue by going to settings and then queue and increase it from the default of 1 to 90 or so. That will help. Also setup some backup pools so that when Bitcoin-QT doesn't supply work fast enough you miner can leak some shares to standard pools. That way it's not a complete loss.

I think the readme values might be out of date?

Getwork is not fast enough for ASIC h/w - but BFGMiner will use GBT for solo mining, and you will not get those 'pool 0 is not providing work fast enough' messages.

Sorry guys...for clarity I didn't solo mine it, it was on Giga's pool.

I logged in and there it was listed in the blocks found showing I mined a block.

I WAS thinking about solo mining once things start to pay back more, I'm approaching "fiat breakeven" on the cost of my Saturn so solo mining may be fun to try for a few months.

At the current diff I could find a block in 3 months (or less if I'm lucky).

It would be nice to wake up to a new virgin block sitting in it's own paper wallet.
THAT would be a trophy!

There's a topic in the German section focusing on solo-mining with KnC devices.
The solution for "Pool 0 not providing work fast enough" seems to be increasing the queued work items in cgminer.

Code:

--queue|-Q Minimum number of work items to have queued (0 - 10) (default: 1)

a value of 15 made it appear only once in 20-30 sec

Cool... I "found" the 52 second block on eligius yesterday!

You should have been hashing at BitMinter. A block that quick would have won you Jupiter in this months mint race.

Not really. The lowest hash wins, not the quickest to find a block Wink

New cgminer binary based on cgminer 3.8.2 up

http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/kncminer/cgminer

Note that we may have tracked down at least one of the causes of the memory leak that leads to cgminer being killed for being out of memory and it involves frequently using the API. This means that if you are not actively monitoring its performance on the web interface, you are better off closing the web interface window for it to not repeatedly keep using it.

how can we put the cgminer into the system?

thx a lot
