Hey , can someone help me setting up my Vega rigs for xmr mining ?

I had a perfect setup using xmr-stak-amd , with 1407/1100 settings, all cards reg modded etc.

Now with the new XMR-STAK I am facing following problem - all shares are rejected by the pool, when using these settings even with a single thread. Pressing R shows low difficulty share errors , wtf?

Oddly enough, I am getting all good results using the ETH settings I am using - 875 core / 1100 memory. Hashrate is significantly lower of course.

Any idea how to set this up right?

I'm not sure if this is applicable to the problem you are having but i was experiencing the same "low difficulty share errors" when trying to mine stellite today.

The fix was to use the new version of Cast_xmr (version 092) and the --algo switch to tell it to use the new algorithm ( the --algo is not a mistype). It would not work until that switch was in the bat file. Here is a copy of my .bat file but please note that i am using 2 Vega 64 cards so you will have to change the -g switch to your own requirements. And i am still using the Blockchain version of the amd drivers.

cast_xmr-vega -S stellite.ingest.cryptoknight.cc:16223 -u Se3Az8q18VrRxivgz6W4JHHyBqSQtnBg3ck8Wj5Zf4s91yjLCD3qru3j1ukF3xh1mVA9WRL9fN63G6L niNd7yfWr19iVYLq3p PSW: x --algo=1 -G 0,1 -R --forcecompute

Hope this is of some help.
