Getting the following error trying to mine on a 750ti. What am i doing wrong? Thanks

Any specific reason why the devs won't acknowledge a single thing I post in this thread???

It has been said multiple times that it does not work with Nvidia GPUs, it is even in the first post

Ok, if yours does not do it, it must be something to do with my PC, I have a few more R9 290x's mining other things that I can try this weekend. Just FYI though, the CPU I am running is an i7 4790K so I don't think it is CPU load here that is affecting it.

Sorry, I meant on the cpu miner I ran -t 1 as well, to test it. It still caused the slow down. So to confirm

So both the gpu miner and cpu miner running -t 1 causes the slowdown.

I get 2.1m pps on my r9 290x on default settings. These seem optimum, as most settings don't seem to change anything. With sieve-size lowering it by about 600kpps if I go up or down.

It runs fine using -t 1 so I figured I could run the cpu miner as well but that caused the GPU to half in speed. Is there any way to run them both or is it a choice of 1 or the other?

Random luck, I have an I3 that found more blocks over the weekend than my 4xI7s combined. Haha.

Sorry, we thought we had the stats pretty close until the release of the new miner, although it is like 10x faster is is not nearly as efficient as finding blocks on the pool their has been about 2x as many shares increase versus blocks found since it's release.

I don't fully understand how the sieve and all works but I would imagine it is much better at finding blocks while solo mining.

The issue is because the new miner quickly dismisses primes below the asked for difficulty. Because you only ask for 13 merit shares your miners have to crunch far more primes instead of dismiss them. This means you will get far more shares with little increase in chance of finding a block. The 2 options I am considering for the pool I am to writing is.

1) Dynamically increase the pool difficulty depending on the current Network difficulty.
2) Add a difficulty switch to the miner. Depending on difficulty depends on how much each of their shares are worth.

Either way, you will need to increase pool difficulty in relation to network difficulty or you will just become less efficient.

So someone got a 33.32281046 gap. That would put it 12th in the world record list.

Trying the new version, It no longer crashes <2048 however it still gives me 0pps no matter what I set -w to.

What could be wrong? I'm mining it with CPU and it's all right..

Maybe too much work at once for the gpu.

You could try to change some of these parameters,
I would start to try -w 256

Code:
-s   form 100,000 to 100,000,000 default 15,000,000
-w   from  32 to 32000 default 2048
-a   from  1,000,000 to  100,000,000 default 30,000,000
-z   from 2 to 30 default 10

I having the exact same 0pps problem. I have tried changing -w and if I set it to anything <2048 the miner crashes

So the pool has 85% of the network hash rate. Should this be a concern?

No one in that thread managed to get it to work, nor has anyone. They agree it might be possible but mostly not easy and in no way cost effective. You could most likely with a hell of a lot of effort make one work and a god of a programmer.

Are you sure about that? By my maths...

1.45btc * $800 = $1160

$1160 * 3 = $3480

$3480(3xantimer price) - $2700(320gh price) = $780 cheaper than 3 antminers

Slightly later than what was ideal. I have received my tracking number and shipment is on route.

One of my fans is not attached to the plug and has been directly soldered onto the board. Is that normal?

Excited to receive my package. I open up the box and remove my miner. At the bottom of the box I notice 4 loose screws in the corner. I pondered to where these could of come from where they could of come from to all end up next  to each other in the same corner.

To answer this riddle I decided to remove the side of the case. Upon do so imagine my surprise when I see this.

http://www.fleeop.com/asic/btmine.JPG

Imagine my shock at seeing the heat sink placed like that wedged between each other. I now realize where the screws should of went before the builder didn't put them in. I then try to move the board away. BUT I CAN'T!!! The board seems wedged in. I decide to remove both boards and attempt to de-wedge them outside the case. It is at this point I realize that it is not because they are wedged tight that I can't move them but, the fact that the person who built it has screwed 2 screws into each heat sink through the holes on the case for the bottom heat sink. So I can only imagine the person must of had to wedge them together and put real effort into managing to get the screws in.

puppet

Perhaps, but my bank assures me it can return the money if shipping takes longer than 2 weeks. As well as having multiple orders with multiple people, so quite frankly if it turns out to be a scam then I get my money back, if not I get 720gh with the lowest lead time actually available. So yeah, why am I a puppet?

We have not hit a block in over a day. No blocks no payouts. The 2days before hand though, you should of made double your expected payments. Swings and roundabouts

He's keeping me up to date with every step, that is not to say it is real until I have units, but he seems to be going to a lot of effort if he is fake. His instagram has more pictures.
