New "how to hop" blog post:

How to hop part2: More on score

This week we discover Slush-type score systems fatal flaw, an update on the Slush hop point (previous estimate nearly 50% out), and what 'c' really means, and how to make a great meatloaf using only left overs!

Great article, thanks! The next patch of CherryPicking will definitely have the tweaks.

I am having a couple of issues in getting CP to work on a couple of pools.

One is NoFee and the other is BTCServer.  Neither one will pull stats and I made sure the config file is up to date with the information posted on this site.

Another issue I am trying to work through is if CP is have a problem running 5 different GPU's on one computer with Win7 x64.  I keep experiencing a system crash after about 2 hours of run time.  All my card temps are 61 - 65.  All are running stock voltage.

Card 1: 6950 shaders unlocked 850/400
Card 2: 6870 960/300
Card 3: 6870 960/300
Card 4: 5970 800/300 both gpus

I am running an Athalon X2 with affinity set to core 1
2gb RAM
PSU is Anatec 1200 pro High Current

I have one cable extension with a molex adapter.

I am running the cards a little slower than I did with guiminer...

Any ideas?

Thanks,

There's nothing in CherryPicking itself that could crash your system, absolute worst case scenario it could crash a miner and cause one or more of your GPUs to stop mining if it had a serious bug, but that hasn't happened yet. Since it's a system crash I suggest looking at your hardware and drivers, the problem would probably be there.

i've been looking at my mining data and continue to be very impressed with CP. blood i must thank you for doing such a great job. with roughly a month of data to look at, 1 Ghash/s is averaging .75 BTC/day. the last 5 days alone 1 Ghash/s has been averaging almost .9 BTC/day. anyone else with some comparison numbers? it would be awesome if i was the low to mid end of the spectrum.


Happy to hear you're getting good results. Which hopping algorithm have you been using this time?
