Hello, I just wanted to add that I too also have a negative crypto balance. I hope that Quoine support can sort this out

Everything is back to as it was, thank you for the quick fix Quoine  Kiss

ccminer version 1.2

So I run into this error every now and then

"unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver Insatalled?"

I tracked it down to the file heavy.cu

if (err != cudaSuccess)
{
applog(LOG_ERR, "Unable to query CUDA driver version! Is an nVidia driver installed?");
exit(1);
}


i would like to  to bypass the above by simply hardcoding the CUDA driver version that I have.
However I have no idea on how to compile windows binaries.
Can someone help me .?

Turns out ... you cannot kickstart the ccminer from remote desktops coz ...the NVIDIA backend is not accessible remotely .. that is really strange ..

Am I the only one having to close out MC with Task Manager? Huh  It won't close otherwise. Even after mining has been stopped.
I only had this issue a while back, with CudaMiner (not ccMiner), and that was several releases ago, shortly after console integration.  Haven't had the issue since then.


I haven't checked in a while and just saw manual configuration and failovers are now implemented.
Great job! Will start looking into it now.

I see some people are using cgminer/sgminer based nvidia miners.
Can you tell me how to find these? I've been looking for a while, but no luck.
I would really love the APIs that sgminer offers.
As far as I'm aware, the only reason anyone is using SGminer is either because they have AMD cards, or because they're mining neoScrypt (there is no ccMiner or any other NVIDIA-specific miner for neoScrypt yet).

For sgminer, you need to use the usewindow/true option on the config line.  Otherwise, sgminer gets really confused with the console mode.  There is a text only option in sgminer which should make it compatible but it doesn't seem to work right for me.

Have you tried cgminer 3.7.7b for neoscrypt on Nvidia gpu? I got it up and running but only 100% rejects.

Some GTX 970 numbers:

Gigabyte Geforce GTX 970 (non G1, triple fan model, stock clocks, and stock voltages)
Windows 7 64bit
8GB RAM
intel i5 something-k

X11 - 6600
x13 - 5200
x15 - 4500

This thing is whisper quiet compared to the 6950 it replaced. How much power is each algo using? For now I multiplied the 750Ti numbers by 2.2

Tried a couple of things including I -14, and just using sgminer on it's own. It lags the whole system both amd (cpu) and intel rigs. I've disabled neoscrypt for now within minercontrol, and will wait to see if any cuda miners add neoscrypt. Thanks for the replies.

I can't seem to get more than 25KHS per 750 Ti using neoscrypt on sgminer. Do I need to install any extra bits like opencl drivers? I'm using Nvidia driver version 344.11

Also what to put in the sgminer.conf file or just delete it? I've removed it for now.

my current settings for nicehash look like this:

{ "algo": "neoscrypt", "folder": "C:\\Users\\xxx\\Desktop\\sgm5", "command": "sgminer.exe", "arguments": "_SPARAM1_:3341 -u _ACCOUNT_._WORKER_ -p d=.08 -w 128 -g 1 -I 12 -k neoscrypt", "usewindow": true }

Shuting down my GPU rig, costing me more then I'm making at the moment  Cry Cry Cry Cry
Question is:
Keep the GPU´s or sell them while I still can get some cash/LTC/BTC for them (3pcs ASUS R9 280X TOP)
Do you guys think any new super profitable algo for GPU´s is possible in the future?

Sadly this is a decision only you can decide on. Have they made a ROI? if not, and you sell them, will they then make a ROI? Barring some big demand for altcoins, using GAWminers for mining and just buying btc/ltc every month looks like the way to go. Although I'd like to see the GAW pool's btc/mh/day.

You could split SHA256 / Scrypt to westhash and keep the other algos on Nicehash? The current solution needs to be rethought

what command do you use to reboot this thing? Im unable to login to the web interface an tried to reboot it via ssh. I tried sudo shutdown -r now and it says its shutting down but never does...

I think your pi is flooded. How many miners are connected to it?
before rebooting, can you also run this command?

Code:
top

This is like the windows taskmanager, what is hogging up all the resources?


With 20 GSD connected, after 24 hours unable to login via web interface but hashing away in the background. Here's the top output

Is it possible to force restart RPi every 24 hours without superuser via cron?

I'm trying to mine Scrypt-N on trademybit multipool. Everyone on their irc seems to be using cudaminer for Scrypt-N but I can't get it to work. I thought ccminer was for Scrypt-N?

cudaminer.exe —algo=scrypt:2048 -o stratum+tcp://server.address:2220 -u user.worker -p passwd -i 0 -l T5x24 -C 2 -m 1

this just crashes cudaminer. Anyone mining on trademybit scrypt-n multipool who could help me out? (I'm using 750Ti)


You will want to use the last official release I made in February. Any later binaries might have some unstable modifications
(unstable for scrypt-jane and possibly scrypt-N that is).

If it still crashes, come back here Wink

Christian


That works great, I just had to change to T5x12 as well being scrypt-n and all Smiley

Took the plunge and updated to 1.4.5 about 12 hours ago. This update ignores your reboot miner function and resets it back to zero in the background, but it still shows your X time. Changing it, and changing it back fixed it and now it's back to rebooting after a specific time.

GUI wise there is now duplicity. The whole dials look can now be removed, and use the advanced tab as the main control panel. You could add a 'lock/unlock' button for messing around with frequencies. Possibly using less resources being gobbled up by your front end on the RPi?

Otherwise a really solid update, nice one.

tprogex : Good point! I was just thinking if the ASICs could be repurposed into something like folding or seti but I guess not. I think they rely on a floating point and integer SIMD instruction. Well at least they used to back in 2001.

I don't see the point, well maybe one, of holding onto GPU rigs even if is for Scrypt-n. Right now I can mine Scrypt altcoins on a multipool with ASICs that auto converts to VTC.

The point of holding onto GPU rigs, as has always been vert's mantra, is to maintain decentralization. You bought your ASICs from where? One of 3 companies that produces the ASICs, who each run their own mining warehouse? These companies effectively hold the keys to any currency which they produce ASIC for (they effectively push all other players out of the game). If they are generous, they will share this key with you.

On the flip side, with GPUs? Anyone can buy them from any of hundreds of locations online or in a store. More people can mine = network is more spread out = has fewer points of failure. The cost to get started mining is extremely low - some people can start with hardware they already have. AMD and NVIDIA do not have warehouses full of mining operations which push little fish out of the mining scene. In all cases, with GPUs, you are not RELYING ON SOMEONE ELSE to give you the key to the currency.

Ah I see, supply decentralization. Whenever I thought of decentralization I wasn't thinking of the tech supply chain.

Apologies for wall of text and ramblings.

Great responses! And something to mull over. You guys have been in this game longer than me so it's great to hear your thoughts. I'm just trying to grasp why a large company wouldn't just buy/create a large GPU farm. These guys have millions if not tens of millions to spend, and I don't think the issue of ASIC vs GPU would come up except for power consumption. That becomes a moot point too when you find out they have a 200KW solar/wind/thermal farm running everything as well. I'm not saying that's what will happen but if I can think of this I'm sure they can to? Although I think there is a coin technology being developed to normalize hashrates in a progressive way from the cpu miners all the way to the big farms.

I'm looking at the A2 22nm chip ASICs that Gridseed will be shipping sometime in June. The GSD Blades (~5-6MHs) are down to a grand but I'm skipping on these and the 55nm ASICs that Hashra have started taking orders for. I'll have to double check on the Hashra chip size. I feel a bit bad for the folks who pre-ordered with KnC. That thread has turned into a clusterfuck, sorry I can't think of a better term.

i got into mining wanting to mine LTC, but in the end, ie the same day, I just started mining on scryptguild and that converted everything to BTC. It's such a quagmire. Do i mine for the ideology? Do I mine for pure profit? A few weeks later I opted to buy the mini gridseeds and put the GPU machines on VTC and haven't looked back since.

I get the whole notion of decentralised GPU mining, or at least I think I do, and it strengthening the network by numbers, but who are these miners? The ones that lucked out being born in a prosperous part of the world? I would love South America, and Africa really dialling into this space but they won't be coming in as miners. Taxes on electronic good into Africa and South America are sometimes at 100% or greater. These guys will be mostly coming in as consumers using ltc, btc, vtc, or whatever other coin that's on the market. Simple transactions over cell phones and the feel good factor about having control over their money; demand for scrypt, scrypt-n, and sha256 will increase in that sense. The mining tables have turned. They are now the consumers, billions of them, and the technologically advanced countries are the miners. Also people are weird. A person looks at BTC and thinks that's a lot, now I'm dealing in .00334 numbers. They look at LTC and think hey that's a more manageable number in their heads, and so on. Big purchases? Use BTC, everyday purchases use LTC/VTC. Over time I've noticed that what techies think is the right thing the consumers tend to think the opposite :/

To be fair I look at the ROI argument and in my head I square it off the same way as property prices in hot spots like central London, New York, or even the few square miles in Toronto. It's kind of similar in the sense that there is no more place to build but for some unfortunate reason everyone wants to live there, or can't leave. The point is the desirable land is finite, much like BTC/LTC/VTC is finite. Once the technology has reached a plateau, the ROI in a market that's desirable will always be greater than it's growth, you just need to stay in the game. That's a bold statement, but you can look it up. Capital in the Twenty-First Century by Thomas Piketty looks a fascinating read if you're interested in economics and has some great insights into this and other cool economics stuff.

I don't think cryptocurrency is there yet because the technology hasn't started levelling off. It's still in a dog eat dog phase. It's nuts that the GBlade was 2000 dollars 2 weeks ago, then 1500 dollars a week ago, and now 1000 dollars. ASIC producers were claiming 50MHs for $10K, then 75 MHs, then 100+ all in one day. 22nm die size is pretty much where we are globally as well. 14nm is still a ways away for everyone except intel. And even they are delaying the die shrink.

I would suggest that if you're going to invest long term into mining from an ideological sense you should put 50% or 25% of your next purchase into solar or wind. If you're in it for pure profit then you probably play the markets and need be able to make enough per day to move on that same day. But what if you don't have space for solar or wind? Well now you know what South Americans and Africans feel like when they can't even mine, but at least you have the option to move to a more rural area and do your thing there. What's the ROI if your electricity is almost free? It doesn't matter anymore, you now have a basic income. Sure it will go down as difficulty ramps up but if you stay in the game you're really getting the taste of freedom. Money, electricity, heck even water from rain collection. Something something chasing rainbows right? Smiley

So now you have your 2 boxes producing 250+MHs scrypt using 2500W of power. You have a 5KW renewable energy source, wow VTC is going places. I stick my 250MHs on a pool that converts scrypt to VTC. This is now the equivalent of 125MHs at 2500W. Using the most efficient hash/power GPU, ie 750Ti, let's do a calculation:

1.8MHs at 450W. But wait it's scrypt-n so 900Khs at 225W. 2500W will give you about 10MHs on pure VTC. You'd be getting 12 times more return from mining scrypt and exchanging to VTC from a power perspective. These numbers don't seem right so please chime in and tell me where this went wrong.

I was going to sell my GPUs a week or so ago but the sidechain news that Vertcoin implemented piqued my interest, so I'm holding on to see how it pans out over the next 2 months.

The cryptocurrrency community hasn't had a taste of real demand yet, not even a whiff to be fair. Only investors and short term profit makers have put the price where it is, and coders/techies on the bleeding edge of mining software take advantage of new algos becoming bag holders; much to the joy of the ideologists because the genie is out of the bottle. Once mindshare reaches a tipping point, and the barriers of entry become trivial I don't see why there won't be a demand for absolutely everything in this space, BTC/LTC/VTC included.
