Having a problem with GPU0 on both of my four-card 270 rigs. GPU0 on both rigs hovers between 10-20 kH/s while all other cards are near 200. Doesn't seem to be the windows idle/monitor issue like with cgminer because plugging in a monitor doesn't fix it.

Using stock config with the exception of adding all the cards to the devices. Same problem in Vertminer 0.5.3 and the Kev version.

For some reason or another on one of my rigs, vertminer will startup and run for about 30 seconds ..then everything will just freeze up and i have to hard reset....any ideas?

I have a rig with 4x r9 280x (powercolor turboduo)

1030/1500 undervolted @ 1.1v - this card does not like over or underclocking so I have to go with default clocks (dramatic hash drop even at slightest clock change)

using vertminer 0.5.2

fiddled with config a lot, this is the best one (powertune -20 gives a lot of boost):
Code:
"expiry" : "1",
"failover-only" : true,
"log" : "5",
"no-submit-stale" : true,
"queue" : "0",
"scan-time" : "1",
"auto-fan" : true,
"gpu-threads" : "2",
"gpu-engine" : "1030,1030,1030,1030",
"gpu-fan" : "33-100,33-100,33-100,33-100",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500,1500,1500,1500",
"gpu-powertune" : "-20,-20,-20,-20",
"intensity" : "13,13,13,13",
"temp-target" : "72,72,72,72",
"temp-overheat" : "98,98,98,98",
"temp-cutoff" : "100,100,100,100",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"worksize" : "256,256,256,256",
"lookup-gap" : "2,2,2,2",
"shaders" : "2048,2048,2048,2048",
"thread-concurrency" : "8192,8192,8192,8192"

this is what I get:

I can't even load the modified CGminer with any configs listed here for 280x sapphire cards. AT ALL. I literally click the batch file and it pops the cgminer box up for a millisecond and then closes. What kind of b.s. is that

It's because of a very simple reason: your config file has wrong format for cgminer (may be some "," or "{" is missing etc). Cgminer detects that and shutdown. You can view the error message if you run your batch file from cmd window.
I've never set up a conf file, I just figured it would work with only a batch file...which has the same settings for vertminer so can I just delete the conf file?

In that case, try to run your batch file from the cmd window (click start->run-> type "cmd" and press enter). You can read the error message when cgminer shutdown and you can debug from it.

I have got six Readon HD 7870 to mine Ltc .I want to mine VTC, but when I config them ,there are many Rejects. can you tell me
what reason be? Thks

To debug this, add --no-submit-stales. If rejects drop off to near zero, then the cause is network connectivity and you should look for a better pool or try to improve your Internet connection. If they don't, then these are invalid shares, so you should back off on the engine clock and/or intensity settings.

(OTOH If your rejects are at 100% then you're just making some sort of very basic error that you should be able to figure out on your own.)

I'm getting this error.
Code:
 [2014-02-06 08:27:44] Started cgminer 3.7.2

 [2014-02-06 08:28:04] Try restarting cgminer.
Press enter to continue:

Here's my batch

Code:
del *.bin
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 200
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
COLOR 0B
cgminer.exe --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://vtc.poolz.net:3333 -u xxx.xxx -p xxxx --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0 --gpu-powertune 20 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 -I 18 -g 2 -w 256 --gpu-engine 1115,1115,1115,1115,1115 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500,1500,1500,1500 --auto-fan --gpu-fan 85 --temp-target 70 --temp-overheat 85 --temp-cutoff 90

You need to lower your tc or increase your lookup gap as it says  AND if you are trying to mine vert you need specialized miner like vert miner NOT cgminer.

The miner keeps crashing on windows (vertminer.exe has stopped working etc ...), I tried 0.5.3 and 0.5.4 sameo ...

Other miners work fine : maxcoin , scrypt ...

Anyone experiencing same issue ?

Just use modified cgminer

Hello, i have been mining VTC for a month now and have been thinking about these a lot but can't diagnose what's wrong with it:

Question 1
this Shares of 0.08 per sec is normal for a 1.3MH/s rig? I can't tell what's normal and what's not.
http://i.imgur.com/2vRCDU9.jpg

I also seem to get about 5-10% Invalid Shares almost every round, which is really odd. I do not have any HW too. i see others in the pool getting 0.35% or something.


Question 2
I'm using 2 Sapphire Tri-x 290x, with 1 Asus R9 290.

Somehow, I'm unable to get the CGMiner working with just .bat file alone. the CGMiner won't show any response with just .bat file. So essentially I had to use a config file + bat file to get it started. I'm unable to use just 1 of the 2. As both settings are virtually the same, the only thing is with these 2 config + bat, the pools tend to get stacked up. I only have 2 pools on my list, but they combine and become 4, though it's the same pools... i.e. in cgminer:

Quote
ecurie.io diff 2
vtcpoolz diff 2
ecurie.io diff 32
vtcpoolz diff 32

Anyone else can't run their CGMiner without having both .config and .bat files on it? Same situation for me when i mine litecoins, need to use both config and bat. Weird, cant seem to get [spoiler] to work here.

Below is my .bat file:
Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o (url) -u (workername) -p (password) -g 1 -w 512 -I 20 --thread-concurrency 24550 --auto-fan --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-fan 45-95 --temp-cutoff 105 --temp-overheat 95 --failover-only -o (url) -u (workername) -p (password)

Below is my .config file
Code:
"intensity" : "20,20,20",
"vectors" : "1,1,1",
"worksize" : "512,512,512",
"kernel" : "scrypt, scrypt, scrypt",
"lookup-gap" : "0,0,0",
"thread-concurrency" : "24550,24550,24550",
"shaders" : "0,0,0",
"gpu-engine" : "1000,1000,1000",
"gpu-fan" : "45-95,45-95,45-95",
"gpu-memclock" : "1500,1500,1500",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0,0,0",
"gpu-powertune" : "20,20,20",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.000,0.000,0.000",

This has really boggled me for some time. Thanks a lot!

guys some reason why i get some rejected blocks??

that just happen when i try mine vertcoin.

some tips?
