That buy order  


Edit: Aaaaaand it's gone.

iv setup easynode and im getting accepted untracked stratum share,is this normal or?

When cgminer sends shares via stratum, it does not send the share and then wait for the response as this might slow down the sending of other shares. This means that the response back from the pool is processed separately from the share submission (to make the most of a truly multithreaded environment). However there is never a guarantee that the responses come back in the same order you send them. So cgminer stores a copy of each share as it sends it to the server in its own local database of submitted shares. When it gets a response back about that share from the pool, it deletes the copy of that share. Now stratum is meant to be an uninterrupted connection to the pool, and if you lose that connection, it is assumed that your "session" is no longer valid. So if you send some shares and get disconnected before you get a response, cgminer has to assume that those shares have been lost - otherwise it may end up keeping copies of heaps of shares that it will never get a response to and wastes memory. If you manage to reconnect, sometimes the pool will actually tell you "oh by the way those shares are ok" - however cgminer has now thrown out the record of what those shares were and can only say that the pool said a share was accepted or rejected. Then cgminer just says it's an "untracked share"." (c) ckolivas

I am able to manually enable the GPU's, but they show 0 KHs. If I try to use the restart command, they go offline.

How much system memory is needed? I was under the impression that all the mining was on the GPUs and the system ram was just to run the OS. Someone earlier recomended using 8Gb, but I don't understand why that would be needed. The host CPU isn't doing anything but passing packets between the GPUs and the pool or am I wrong?

I downloaded the vertminer-0.5.3 and ran your exact command to bypass my CFG file.
3 out of 4 gpu's failed immediately and only 1 ran at single digit hashrate.

Then it's a RAM issue, how many and what GPUs are you running and how much RAM are you using?

It's somthing more than that, because I have several rigs which run scrypt fine.
I converted to vertminer and they were all DEAD.
I then tried a bunch of setting changes, including removing almost everything and letting vertminer choose the defaults.
Still, everything comes up DEAD, even at intensity 8.
Switching back to Scrypt, everything runs fine again and I get good hashrates at intensity 20.

So, in summary, there is either a problem with how vertminer chooses default values, or with the scrypt-N running on certain brands/models of GPUs.
