Re: [BBR] Boolberry GPU Miner Discussion - AMD & Nvidia - OpenCL & CUDA

I have several 1070s.

When setting up a rig, I tried a single 1070 on a spare PC. I was getting 1400kh/s.

So I built a rig with multiple 1070s and each one now is getting around 800-1100kh/s. I am also getting a message: "share doesn't validate on CPU"

I am using cpuminer-opencl with command:
minerd.exe -a wildkeccak_ocl -o stratum+tcp://bbr.mbkpool.info:7777 -u  -p x -k http:///scratchpad.bin -l scratchpad.bin

What is going on? I have the most recent nividia drivers.

I am running Windows 10

TIA

CPU at 100% - Share Doesn't Validate on CPU

I'm setting up a GPU miner with multiple Nvidia 1070s.

I installed the 2nd card and ran the opencl miner, but now I'm getting 100% cpu usage.

Wondering if it is safe to put the 3rd one in?

The CPU is a celeron G1820. I think 2 cores.

I thought CPUs had very little effect on GPU mining.

Can anyone shed some light on this? Thank you!  Smiley

Edit: Also I get the message: "Share doesn't validate on CPU for GPU01 (my 2nd card).

Is it possible to mine this?

The information everywhere is so vague...

what is the miner you use?

The mining pool that is active is vague and has no information on which software to use and how to hook onto their pool.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

The OP is outdated a bit. Any NeoScrypt capable miner will do the job. There are a few pools out there.

NSGminer v0.9.2: The Fastest NeoScrypt GPU Miner

Thank you sir. Any pools you recommend?

Thanks a lot man!

Do you know how I would calculate how effective my GPU would be for different scrypt coins?

Is there a calculation with difficulty?

Go to http://www.whattomine.com/coins

There you can enter in your GPU's hashrate on various algorithms (coins) as well as your card's power usage and your electricity rate to get a ballpark figure of where you would end up with different coins.

That's exactly one of my questions...

So on scrypt, my hashrate will be the same across all coins?

On X11, my hashrate will be the same across all coins?

I've been trying to figure it out. Google search for hours, but I can not find the answer.

When I GPU mine, my hash rates go from 400/hs to 2000/hs, depending on the coin. What determines this? Is there a calculation I can make per coin to predict what I get?

For then now the only thing I can do is actually start mining to find out the h/s.

Also, if I point a BTC miner to PPC, do I get the same h/s. So if an antminer is rate at 1/ghs for BTC, do I get the same for PPC?

Thanks in advance.
