when I execute run.bat in sgminer I get a Windows error 'sgminer has stopped working' - is this because i am running a 32 bit version instead of a x64 which my PC is? Please advise. I downloaded v5-LYRA RC1 WIN32 but am running windows 8 x64.

trying to get it hooked up to here; http://p2pool.crunchpool.com:9171/static/

FYI, there's less than half a day left until Vertcoin switches the mining algorithm to Lyra2.

CrunchPool will automatically restart and switch to Lyra2 when block 208300 comes.

Give 'em the pickle

I am having troubles.

I believe I have everything setup perfect. Config file is good.

I am using Ubuntu..

This is my start.sh file:

export DISPLAY=:0
export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1
export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=200
export CGMINER_BIN=/home/user/Downloads/vertminer-gpu-master/vertminer
$CGMINER_BIN --scrypt-vert \
--config "/home/user/Desktop/config.conf \

If I try to start mining by typing "screen ./start.sh"
I get a message saying [screen is terminating]

If I try to start mining by just typing "./start.sh"
I get a message saying:

/home/user/Downloads/vertminer-gpu-master/vertminer: --scrypt-vert: unrecognized option
./start.sh: line 11: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"'
./start.sh: line 12: syntax error: unexpected end of file

This makes me sad Sad

Can anyone figure out what I am doing incorrectly?

Thank you!

--------------

edit: I have changed "--scrypt-vert" to "--nscrypt"

But now, when I type "./start.sh", vertminer starts, but asks for URL, username, and password, like it is not reading the config file.
When I enter this info, I only get a total of 52 Kh/s (I have four 280x cards)

I don't think my config file is being read.
Anyone know why this would be?

Does anyone know of a vertminer that can run different gpu-threads for 2 different cards in 1 instance? Because I have an r9 270 which likes 1 thread and a 280x which likes 2.

Anyone had success using vertminer 0.5.4? I use EXACTLY the same settings in 0.5.3 but the cmd window always closes when I try to start it.

Are there different settings I have to input to make it work?

Try sgminer v5; I don't think anybody really uses vertminer anymore.

I did try Sgminer 5 beta actually, but I just cant get the dam thing to start as it also closes. I'm not sure what I am doing wrong as I have never used sgminer as vertminer was the first scrypt-n fork that worked so I stuck with it...

Hello folks!
Do you have any idea if I can mine Vertcoin with an ASIC miner? And if it's possible, can you please help me? I tried to mine it with vertminer, cgminer, but none worked for me.

Thank you.

There are no ScryptN11 ASIC miners. Only sha or scrypt exist.

Well hello there!

Was just thinking about grabbing one of my old GPU rigs and firing it up to mine vertcoin to see whether or not I could turn a small profit. This thread is exactly what I was hoping for to make things alot quicker.

Hi. A few days ago I bought R9 290 and get 440Kh/s. But also get many stale shares ( on p2pool ~10%, on give-me-coins ~5%).

Tried to set gpu-threads 2. Get ~427Kh/s and very very few rejects.

I think that can get more Kh/s. And I'm trying to find the best value thread-concurrency.
Maybe someone knows the value?

thread-concurrency: Without this set correctly, you will get many hardware errors, and a very low hashrate. Now I have zero HW errors with these settings, and a negligible number of rejects.
- gpu-engine:
Set it lower than you would for scrypt mining. I was able to gain over 100 kh/s on the 290x cards by lowering the clock speed from 1030 to 935.
- RAM:
As long as you have 4GB of RAM, you should be able to get the maximum possible hashrate. I have no trouble running three-card 7950 and 7970 rigs with only 4GB of RAM, while also maxing out the CPU for XPM mining.

I'm running vertminer 0.5.4pre2, on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

Here are my settings, separated by type of card:

7950, at 283 kh/s:

"intensity" : "21",

"temp-cutoff" : "95",
"temp-overheat" : "90",
"temp-target" : "75",
"gpu-threads" : "1",
"nscrypt" : true,

7970, at 367 kh/s:

NB - This card needs to be run with 2 threads for optimum performance, and the intensity has to be 13.

"auto-fan" : true,
"expiry" : "120",
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"nscrypt" : true,

R9 290x, at 456 kh/s:

NB - For this card, it's crucial to keep the temperature below 92º, because above that temp, the engine clock speed will start to drop. Don't forget to set powertune to 25, not 20!

"intensity" : "21",
"vectors" : "1",

I tried this conf with my 6-290x rig but 2 of them is failed to run indicating off.There is 8gb system ram here.[/list][/list]

Hello everybody
Have 1 question about vertco.in work. I use vertminer 5.3 and have 1.5 Mh/s. I start mining and check "Dashboard" and "My workers". All right, I see 1500kH/s in both items. But after 5 minutes in "My workers" stream decrease to 1 kH/s. In "Dashboard" it still 1500 kH/s. No HW errors, no Rejected... and very slow stream of Accepted. What does it mean?

   {
      "url" : "stratum+tcp://stratum.vertco.in:8080",

THANK YOU THANK YOU..

Your config solved problem with hd 7970 having only 280Khs. Lot of people have same problem.
The reason is that you need to set gpu-engine to lower frequency as you are used to from regular scrypt.

Thank you:)[/list][/list]

Thank you for your advice. It works perfectly. Just need to add --gpu-threads 1 to scrypt above

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
C:\miner\vertminer-0.5.2\vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.composedchaos.net:9595 -u xxx -p xxx -g 2 --gpu-threads 1

Now i got ~290 KH/s

im with vertminer 0.5.4
Any ideas where i'm wrong?

Why don't you use the 0.5.2 version all use? https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-new-thekev-vertminer-ultimate-vertminer-guide-for-windows-466867 (read it all!)

Try to change the .bat to this:

Code:

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
C:\miner\vertminer-0.5.2\vertminer.exe --scrypt-vert -o stratum+tcp://stratum.composedchaos.net:9595 -u xxx -p xxx -g 2

BTW you need much more RAM to run Scrypt-N ( 8Gb )
