I have a problem, while the khash in vertminer are alright, in two different pools I get only 26khash with 4 pc's, so what's the problem. Do I have to start vertminer with something like scrypt or nscrypt??
Using this for 7990:
"intensity" : "13",
"worksize" : "256",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "12000",
"gpu-threads" : "2"
speed is between 325 and 342 per gpu.
Using this for r9 290:
"intensity" : "20",
"worksize" : "512",
"lookup-gap" : "2",
"thread-concurrency" : "27400",
"gpu-threads" : "1"
speed is 370-403 khash

Hey guys the new sgminer (modded by Zuikkis) has nscrypt support as well, I compiled a Windows version here: https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=14996.msg131246#msg131246
Have not run any benchmarks, as always, do a scan
. Hope it helps!

I've played with my configuration and noticed the following:
Hash Rate is HIGHER
Work Utility is HIGHER
Stales are HIGHER
Accepted is LOWER
Utility is LOWER
Should I go back to my old config or stick with my new one?
EDIT: I'm using p2pool.

I'm using the exact settings I use for every scrypt coin in cudaminer, but all vertcoin gives me is "boooooo" results. Every pool's "Gettings started" section looks exactly the same as all the other scrypt coin pools. The line of code is the same. The only difference is the pool address.
Why am I getting "boooo" instead of "yay"? I downloaded the cudaminer version from the OT post. It appears to mine but "booooooooooo!" and no coins.
My settings which works for every single other coin and get me 300kh on GTX670.
cudaminer.exe -i 1 -l K7x32 -C 1 -H 1

Hello
I don't know guys how can you make it work with -g 2, if I try to use more than 1 thread inmediately have error -5
I tried with 1, 2 and 3 cards, also tried with 4GB, 8GB and 12GB of system RAM
my GPUs are MSI R9 280X GAMING 3G, asus mobo M5A78L
Windows 7 x64 driver 13.1
Using 1 thread, it works but I need 8GB system of ram, doesn't work with 4GB, and if I add more than 2 cards, I need 12GB of system RAM.
the best I was able to do was 265KH which is very low, I was expecting 300KH per card at 950/1250 Mhz
what do you think?, am I missing something?
thanks!

--Awesome info for all ----
Please add VTC address to your signature.
this is way to low, isn't it?? how can i optimize this? THX =)
The first step is to add -I 13 (works for almost everybody), then go from there. Take a look at settings at http://www.verters.com/vertcoin-hardware-list
edit: well, nobody on that list has an R7 card. Basically, you're going to be using much lower thread concurrency settings since your card only has 320 shaders. You get a hint of where to start from the .bin file that's created when you first run. It will have tcNNNN in the file name.
adding -I 13 -g 2 gives me: 48.1 kh/s =)

Any changes to 0.5.4?
--------------------------------------- EDIT notes --------------------
This post is becoming more about getting the Asus Radeon R9 290X running on Fedora 19 than just about vertminer-gpu 0.5.4.pre2. It will also provide material for the vertcoin.org gpu-miner-build-howto.
I will be fixing some confusion between ADL-SDK and AMD-APP-SDK below, and adding more details about what it took to get an Asus Radeon R9 290X running on Fedora 19. But I can't get it all done today
so I want to post the incomplete revisions to avoid losing them and to avoid leaving incorrect information online.
ICD files:
The OpenCL™ ICD (Installable Client Driver) is a means of allowing multiple OpenCL™ implementations to co-exist and applications to select between them at runtime. The files seem to give the names of the shared library files for the AMD-APP-SDK.
The vertcoin.org gpu-miner-build-howto suggests editing these files to add full path to the library. I don't think that is what the designers of ICD expected, but apparently it works. AMD expects to use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to specify where to look for the named libraries...
-------------------------------------- end EDIT notes ---------------
I was just following the build instructions for linux, which specified downloading the latest git version. Then I tried to follow sample configurations from this thread, but the meaning of the --scrypt option has changed.
vertminer-gpu 0.5.4 adds support for ADL (AMD Display Library), version 6, among other things.
Code:
2014-02-12 20:54 Bufius o [master] [origin/HEAD] [origin/master] fixed unexpected build issues
2014-02-12 20:22 Bufius o fixed wrong variable type in ocl.c
2014-02-12 20:08 Bufius o miner prepared for normal scrypt + nfactor scrypt
2014-02-08 22:10 Bufius o remove unneeded files
2014-02-08 22:08 Bufius o autogeneration
2014-02-08 21:35 Bufius o and again the adl stuff...
2014-02-08 21:27 Bufius o correct adl_functions.h
2014-02-08 21:24 Bufius o Revert "include corrrect adl_functions.h"
2014-02-08 21:21 Bufius o include corrrect adl_functions.h
2014-02-08 21:05 Bufius o ADL6 support
2014-02-03 18:02 Bufius o [origin/0.5.3] bump to 0.5.3
You could see all the gory details at the github site, if only you already knew how to use github... (I just learned yesterday, and can't explain it).
I have an Asus R9 290X and I installed catalyst 14.1 beta for linux, (with some difficulty because the 14.1beta Fedora package is not available yet).
So I think I needed ADL6. If so, I also needed vertminer-gpu 0.5.4.
(Someone please draw the attention of the maintainer of http://vertcoin.org/gpu-miner-build-howto.html to these comments about the problems with the AMD-APP-SDK installer).
I highly disrecommend the AMD installer for the AMD-APP-SDK. It puts global definition of LD_LIBRARY_PATH into /etc/profile, which impacts load time of everything on the system forever more unless you erase it. See http://www.cc.dtu.dk/?page_id=304, "LD_LIBRARY_PATH – or: How to get yourself into trouble!"
Also, if you did happen to have "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH and some other stuff on the same line" in /etc/profile, it erases it the other stuff without notice, replacing it with just export LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
The AMD installer also does nice things like executing (as root) rm -rf $dirname, when it is not immediately obvious that dirname cannot be /. So I don't trust it. Also it is written, for no good reason, in perl. The person who wrote it is obviously not an experienced sysadmin.
To install AMD-APP-SDK 2.9, I just untarred it: mkdir AMD-APP-SDK; cd AMD-APP-SDK; tar zxvf AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-lnx64.tgz.
Code:
-rw-rw-r-- cas/cas 150269240 2013-10-30 06:52 AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-RC-lnx64.tgz
-rwxr-xr-x cas/cas 11466 2013-10-30 06:40 default-install_lnx_64.pl

-rwxr-xr-x cas/cas 6678 2013-10-30 06:40 ReadMe.txt
(Actually, I should have used the tar option to ignore the specified user/group, since this is always happening when root untars something.)
icd-registration.tgz untars to
Code:
drwxr-xr-x cas/cas 0 2013-06-10 01:33 etc/
drwxr-xr-x cas/cas 0 2013-06-10 01:33 etc/OpenCL/

-rwxr-xr-x cas/cas 15 2013-06-10 01:33 etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl32.icd
I put those files into /etc, correcting the ownership and removing the execute permission from the .icd files.
Code:
$ find /etc/OpenCL -ls
1493085 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 14 Feb 18 22:43 /etc/OpenCL
1493086 0 drwxr-xr-x 1 root root 48 Feb 19 08:58 /etc/OpenCL/vendors
1609357 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15 Jun 10 2013 /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl64.icd
1613003 4 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15 Jun 10 2013 /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl32.icd
$ head /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl*
==> /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl32.icd <==
libamdocl32.so
==> /etc/OpenCL/vendors/amdocl64.icd <==
libamdocl64.so
The I untarred AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-RC-lnx64.tgz, which happens to produce a single directory named AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-RC-lnx64. I corrected the ownership, removed group other write permissions, moved or removed any existing /opt/AMDAPP directory, and moved AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-RC-lnx64 to /opt/AMDAPP.
Then, instead of using LD_LIBRARY_PATH forever more, I just told the build process where the libraries are going to be:
Code:
CFLAGS="-g -O2 -Wall" LDFLAGS="-L/opt/AMDAPP/lib/x86_64/" ./configure --prefix=$HOME
You can also avoid doing any of this as root if you take the hint from http://devgurus.amd.com/message/1299447 and use OPENCL_VENDOR_PATH to give the path to the data from icd-registration.tgz, and use the configure time LDFLAGS variable to give the path to where you put the contents of AMD-APP-SDK-v2.9-RC-lnx64.tgz. (Just don't move it afterward or you need to rebuild or use LD_LIBRARY_PATH).

I compiled HEAD branch of https://github.com/Bufius/vertminer-gpu.git on Fedora 19, but didn't look at the NEWS file, so didn't see that now the --scrypt option means litecoin scrypt, and I was getting 100% rejects. As soon as I changed the option to --nscrypt, I started getting 100% accepts.
I doubt there are any precompiled versions. I don't run windows.

Where do you download the 0.5.4pre2 Windows verstion?
link pls
hey guys, any suggestion for a Radeon 7770 card? it is just collecting dust on the shelves so I thought maybe I should start mining with that too but I couldn't get more than 20 kh/s from it, thanks
