comparing v43 vs. v44 for my gtx750(non-ti) (windows binaries from github)
x15: 1966 vs 1976
x13: 2272 vs 2270
x11: 2886 vs 2883
quark: 5700 vs 5660
qubit: 4418 vs 4419 (with drops)
lyra: 882 vs 881
So, only x15 gain for me

Your junior 750 is beating some 750ti's on standard clocks.
I think it's time to implement a command line switch for the gpu-memspeed and the gpu-core clock. Some of the algorithms needs a good memoryspeed/corespeed factor, and some of the cards are not configured optimal. I had a quick look and found support in the NVIDIA api to adjust the clocks.. Will have a look when I get back from my vacation..

In the north east thailand:

1 hour of Thai-massage costs        0.012641 BTC
1 bottle of 40% thai whiskey costs 0,0088487 BTC
1 noudlesoup meal with meat and clean ice water in the resturant costs 0,0029495  BTC

nice Smiley ...

would be ideal if we could manipulate the clocks ( mem and core ) from the commandline ...

sounds very cheap over there ... and very nice Smiley ...

might even be able to buy property too with btc ... i wonder ...

#crysx

Linux command line to change clocks on my laptop, GTX850M, this is in my launch script.
optirun nvidia-settings -c :8 -a [gpu:0]/GPUGraphicsClockOffset[2]=80 -a [gpu:0]/GPUMemoryTransferRateOffset[2]=300

If you dont run optimus/bumblebee to switch on the second graphics card you dont need optirun, :8 is the display number, you need to have coolbits set in your config for it to work.

am solo mining DGB in the hope that they go up in value.
I got one "yay" this morning and this went into my wallet which is the official version and I got 2386.045241 DBG
I got another "yay" this afternoon but nothing went to my wallet, I can see things like "AddToWallet" and "ProcessBlock: ACCEPTED" and "generated 2385.965241"  in the debug file for the wallet
I am using ccminer sp version from a few days ago from git which I compiled myself,
My question is what do I look for in the log to tell me what the problem is?
Does my wallet need to be unlocked during mining, although I am fairly sure it was locked when I got the 1st "yay" this morning
I've spent a couple of hours googling this issue and not found anything relevant, apologies if this is a noob question that I should know.

Sounds like it was stale/orphan. Around the "generated 2385.965241" part there should be something about it being "stale". It differs for some wallets but here's an example from a random wallet log:

sounds low level, but maybe was orphaned block?



not sure if I can tell what it is, is there an accepted failure rate, what % is the norm?

Re: [POOL] YAAMP.COM Scrypt/Neo/Lyra2/X11/X13/X14/X15 Profit switch with exchange
by

on 02/02/2015, 15:52:55 UTC
do you guys suggest a longer time between switched? right now, i understand it's now switching a bit too often.

Optimal would be if the time to switch would be dynamic and calculated based on the difference in profitability.
So if you are mining X11 and X13 is more profitable by 2% then there is no need to switch fast. If X13 would become more profitable by 100% then it makes sense to switch quickly to X13.

When I 1st started on yaamp last week it seemed to switch through the algos quite alot then slowed down and switched between a few less frequently. I assumed that my hashrate was being measured and then it moved to switching based on profitability. If thats the case I dont understand the need for an option to provide a "factor to normalize profitability" as documented on your yaamp's multi algo page? Anyway I have input my own factors as they are a bit different than the defaults just in case, eg my hashrate on quark is about 15 times what it is on lyra2.
Also my miner had a "sleep 10" on exit which delayed switching so I have comented that out and recompiled it, now for me switching incurrs little overhead.

before asking for change it would be handy to know what the current switching methodology is?
for reference this is what I use on linux:

while :
do
./ccminer -r 0 -a x11   -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3533 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a x13   -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3633 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a x14   -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3933 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a x15   -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:3733 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
./ccminer -r 0 -a lyra2 -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:4433 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3
../ccminer-1.5.31/ccminer -r 0 -a quark -o stratum+tcp://yaamp.com:4033 -u 1DQiMcgWVB8wwLWhwGZFkfjF1YhP5gQNFX -p x11=10.4,x13=7.9,x14=7.7,x15=6.8,quark=20,fresh=11,lyra2=1.3

done

As an aside there were some issues with 503 service not available on the website earlier this morning and the miner getting "connection refused", was there a DoS going on?

I have submitted an optimalization i  the fresh algo. Release 33. To lazy to build. Yaamp.com has added fresh. Prices are swinging but fresh is more profigable than quark now.

Thanks, now added to my multi algo script for yaamp

I am finding that quark is not as fast as build 31
build 33:

both compiled from git on linux. No intensity is being set as in my limited testing the default is  optimum or very close

I have commented out this line (441) in proper_exit() in ccminer.cpp on my system:
sleep(10);                      //make sure that the gpu threads are stopped when updating the stats.
When yaamp closes my miner to move to a different algo it adds a delay before moving to the next one, I have not seen any detrimental effects, is this a bad thing to do?

I'm running a script that cycles through different algos on YAAMP so that in theory the pool gets me to mine the most profitable using  "-p x11,x13,x14,x15,quark,lyra2"

Does that actually grant you higher payouts at the end of the day? I'd imagine constant switching is just lagging behind what was profitable. And the more people use a script like it the worse it gets.

Edit: CPU validation errors are still there with v4.
<--- look at my stats, I'm a newbie. This is the 1st day. I will try single algos and see what difference I get, my wallet is not synced yet. I'd assume that the pool calculates what profitable and switches you to it. At the moment its X14 (alipaycoin) and quark (a mixture) no idea they really are the best, though I see many more people are on X11, going to try a few different things over the next few days and see what happens.

QUARK --

There are 500 miners on Yaamp mining quark now, over 1gh/s volume.       --scryptr

I keep getting disconnected on YAAMP quark today but x11, etc. seems to be fine. Maybe overloaded?

Same thing here!  Maybe you are right.  From 10-12 miners a few weeks ago...        --scryptr

I'm running a script that cycles through different algos on YAAMP so that in theory the pool gets me to mine the most profitable using  "-p x11,x13,x14,x15,quark,lyra2"  to tell the pool what I can do
earlier today I was getting lots of rejects on quark, sometimes down to 10% accept rate main reason was "job not found", now its much better, 90% accept and higher,  the rejects are "duplicate share" so I assume the earlier problem was not down to my miner but more a fault of the pool/network that has been fixed.
 The only other algos YAAMP wanted me to mine were X13 and X14 the others were skipped, I get less rejects with those.
Now it still disconnects with stratum_recv_line failed every so often on quark ,5-30 mins range, skips all the other algos and goes right back to quark. I might as well just run quark only to get rid of the delays induced by failing the others.

I'm completely new to this, so feel free to tell me to go off and read whatever if thats what I need to do

are you talking about sp's ccminer downlaoded from git v 1.5.32?

if so - that doesnt have the spreadx11 algo implemented ...

yes it was from git, that explains it. thanks, just playing with this stuff, not sure I can do anything worthwhile on a laptop anyway
