I've update to the Beta drivers 340.88 and the hash increased slightly. Now getting 7.1 Mh or so but still not the 7.8/7.9 Mh you are getting. I also tried with minep.it pool but as I was expecting it didn't change anything.

Any more ideas?

I have not followed the whole conversation, but I am wondering if one of you is running on risers and the other not?

In the latest version of NVminer, with all the combined algos, when I am mining XMR is it suppose to slow the machine down to a crawl?

I would love to get this version for Linux OS !  Sad

It has this facility also, it is just not enabled by default. Add the argument --bfactor=6 to your starting line. This is then the same as Windows default behaviour. You may lose a little hash, but it also drops power usage.

A manager for ccMiner that gives failover support amongst other things.

http://www.coindiscussion.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=46&t=295#p1743

It's only been tested on my rig, and works well for me. Whether it works for you is another story!

Please let me know if it's of any use, either in this thread or the CDUK thread.

Cheers.

Thank you! Clever approach to use temp. Does it autoswitch/check back to primary pool periodically, in case it comes back up?

Has anyone written a program for managing ccMiner, or is currently writing one? I've put together a shell script to handle ccMiner, and could share if there's demand for it?

Current features:

Failover support.
High GPU temperature temporary mining shutdown.
Miner restart on driver crash.
Monitoring of GPU's
Mining logs.
Error logs.
Email alerts.

Would be happy make this available, but not sure if anyone is working on something more advanced?

I believe there is some ongoing work, but nothing that has been published. A script like this could be really helpful for a lot of us!

Hi guys, what should be used as the username and password if running a command line miner, like Claymore etc.? Is it the website login?

I'll just leave this here.

Damn, that's slow. Seems to scale almost perfectly with hardware memory bandwidth when comparing with Claymore's AMD miner. R9 290X has 3.7x theoretical memory bandwidth compared to 750 Ti and does around 600 H/s. Surprise, 600 / 3.7 comes to around 162. Same story with 270X and it's rougly 2x mem bandwidth. Guess that's not entirely unexpected since there's a whole lot of global memory access going on with the cryptonight algo. Still poking at it but I doubt it'll improve much without C&C level voodoo magic and that's well beyond my skillset Smiley

Nice work! What sort of power usage do you see?

Just wanted to say thanks again Christian. I am sending a "beer" your way later today! I know it's not too much compared to your earnings, but hopefully it counts for something Smiley

For those looking for a failover Pfool has a handy stratum proxy that can serve this purpose https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=611338.0

how is the power consumption 750ti on talkcoin>?

For 2 750Ti I get ~115W for JPC and TAC, so 57 - 58W per Ti

Cool hadn't seen this one before.  I'll check it out later tonight. Getting ready to celebrate Father's Day with the kids (young adults).
I really don't need a pool with a lot of features.  Just basic proxy feature and a way to track shares.  I'll do the rest outside of the pool/proxy.

Carlo

BTW, Happy Father's Day to all you Dad's out there!

Enjoy! I'm using it to act as my failover in Linux

If anyone knows of a proxy stratum that can be used in the middle to point to other pools I'd consider going this way and modifing it to track shares.


There is a java based proxy available https://github.com/Stratehm/stratum-proxy - maybe that could work. I'd love to be able to put together some profit switching on my own, but I can't program!

Anyone wanna share the settings for jpc in ccminer for gtx690. Cant get both gpus to work. -t 2 doesnt work

Unless you can turn off SLI it won't work; I'm assuming the 690 is treated as being in SLI and CCminer can't operate properly on both GPUs in that setup.

Windows Forms Smiley Everyone likes a nice UI. I'm actually writing it for myself, but I think everyone else might like it too, so that's why I'll be releasing it.
Yep, I saw CGWatcher, it's one of my inspirations, next to CUDAManager, but I'm writing it from scratch.

I'm still wondering how I could implement the profit switching by multipool. OK, I could use the api from poolpicker to pick the most profitable pool over X days, but only for scrypt. I'm unsure if that's still worth it.

This guy tracks other pools; however, not sure if you can scrape from the google spreadsheet. Plus format etc. changes often and you are totally reliant on someone else's work. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=514242.0

I think you are better off pulling specific coin numbers from somewhere like coinwarz or whattomine

I believe you can raise the power limit in afterburner, but in the BIOS it is set to 38.5, so that's the base 100% it's working from I believe. I've not done it myself as my miner runs Linux.

Guys, the power supply to cards is not the limiting factor of their performance in almost all cases with the 750s. You will run in to stability issues first, judging by most peoples' experience. You would also have to mod the BIOS to raise TDP. Remember that for a lot of people the cost of power will end up offsetting any tiny gain you get. Look at cryptomining blog and elsewhere, they have tested this. You are better off getting something like a palit dual x which doesn't have the 6pin and performs better clock wise than almost any other card, even at stock.

Hi guys!

I've been trying for 2 days to get my 560ti working with ccminer 1.0
and it just doesn't and since I'm not getting any kind of error I have no idea what is wrong.

I hashes, but the pool doesn't receive anything, what to do?
I have that 2010 Sp1 thing installed


screenshot



You are using the wrong version. 560ti is CUDA 2.1 This is no longer officially supported. Bombadil has compiled a version that works with CUDA 2.1
