I switched 2 rigs over to VTC p2pool a few days ago and I have been getting very inconsistent results.
Specifically, I seem to get payouts frequently for a short period and then nothing after that.
The current run started last night. I got frequent payouts, every few minutes for small fractions of coins. Then, at around 9am this morning, all payouts stopped and have received nothing for 12 hours.
Meanwhile, the vertminer client continues to report shares being submitted.
In addition, on the pool side, it reports the "Time to share" as being between 12-15 minutes, bouncing around this value since 9am, but never going outside this range. The pool is reporting my hash rate close to what my client is reporting.
This happened on Friday as well, and im completely at a loss to understand why this behavior is occurring.

Are you specifying difficulty? If the difficulty of the shares you submit is less than the pool minimum I don't think they will count for anything.

Does anyone have any insight on why my single R9 290 never seems to submit as many shares as any of my 280x cards (GPU2 vs GPU0 and GPU1 in the screenshots below)? It runs very stable at 445Kh/s, but has about 20% less shares that the two 280x toxics I have running on the same rig at 387Kh/s. The 290 is still 10-15% lower in shares than some of my other 280s that run at ~360Kh/s. These are separate instances of vertminer running on the same machine, since I'm running 1 thread for the 290 and two threads for the 280s. Also, I'm currently mining EXE, but I use identical settings for VTC and have identical results.

toxics:

Code:

./vertminer --scrypt-vert -d 0,1 -g 2 -w 256,256 -I 13,13,20 --thread-concurrency 8192,8192 --lookup-gap 2,2 --gpu-engine 1080,1080 --temp-target 72,72 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500 --gpu-vddc 1.2,1.2 --auto-fan --gpu-powertune 20,20 --queue 2 --scan-time 5

290:

Code:

./vertminer --scrypt-vert -d 2 -g 1 -w 256 -I 13,13,20 --thread-concurrency 24550 --gpu-engine 1080,1080,1000 --gpu-memclock=1500 --gpu-powertune 20 --queue 2 --scan-time 5

I don't really like the idea of paid votes, but to show some support I just donated .1 BTC + 1 free vote. Currently at 4466...should be +500 soon.

Just trying to figure out why I my reference 290 and 290x can't get past 370Kh/s (on each card, not combined thank god). They are running in ubuntu 13.10 off 14.2 drivers, ADL 6.0, SDK 2.9, and the latest vertminer. Before yous say "it's dem beta drivers!!!!" know that the PTS miner, scrypt, and scrypt keccak have all run fine at decent hash rates. The flags I have are as follows...

290x

Code:

./vertminer --nscrypt -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3369 * -u 0ut1awed.1 -p x -d 0 -v 1 -w 512 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency * 24000 --gpu-memclock 1490 --gpu-engine 1020 --gpu-powertune 20

290

Code:

./vertminer --nscrypt -o stratum+tcp://east1.us.stratum.dedicatedpool.com:3369 * -u 0ut1awed.2 -p x -d 1 -v 1 -w 256 -I 13 -g 2 --lookup-gap 2 --thread-concurrency * 24500 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-powertune 20

Intensity of anything over 13 (even on a single thread) would give me HW errors. Even at these settings after about 340k accepts, I have approximately 1k rejects and 80 HW errors (on each card, give or take). I have also tried dialing back the memory and increasing/decreasing clocks to no avail. As for the TC I tried everything from 10240 to 27000 with pretty much zero change. I setup specfic multiples of the 2816 on my 290x. At 4x(11264) I was getting 355Kh/s. Then at 5x(14080) and 6x(16896) I was back at the 370-375Kh/s average.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Also....
GET OFF OF DEDICATED POOL! IT HAS MORE THAN HALF THE HASH AND HAS FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

Why is it still listed as the first pool in OP (with "NEW!" beside it none the less)?

With all these coins going down the drain do people really want their investments to continue to be flushed away?

I don't know if this will help you or not, but the one 290 I have is far better with one thread (-g 1), and I can set an intensity of 20 with no problems whatsoever.

I am running Xubuntu 13.10 and AMD 13.12 drivers, and I get a solid 445 Kh/s with these settings, which are identical to what I was using for vertcoin:

Code:

./vertminer --scrypt-vert -d 2 -g 1 -w 512 -I 20 --thread-concurrency 24550 --gpu-engine 1000 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-powertune 20

Also, you shouldn't need to run separate instances of vertminer for each card unless you need to run one thread for one and two threads for another. I only have to do this on this rig that has two 280x's running with -g 2 and a 290 running with -g 1.

I've got similar problem with Gigabyte r9 280x.

I can't in any way get over 300 kH/s. Well it would be nice if it reached something about 350 kH/s ; )

My current settings:

Code:

-I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 1

Any ideas?

And also one thing is bothering me, why I can't set 2 gpu threads (-g 2)?
It's impossible in any configuration : (

I think the gpu threads is probably your problem, but I don't know why you can't set -g 2.
I am running 4 Gigabyte R9 280X cards in one of my rigs on Xubuntu 13.10 and vertminer 0.5.3, gpu BIOS undervolt @ 1.094V. Still tinkering but these settings are what I'm using for now:

Code:

--scrypt-vert -I 13 -g 2 -w 256 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-engine=1025 --gpu-memclock=1500 --gpu-powertune=20
