Thanks for your power measurement. my measurements indicate that a r9 290@1025mhz draws about 200W at wall and makes about 2300 cpm.

I'm lucky enough to have gotten a CP1500PFCLCD when it came out, the digital display makes it real nice to let a system warm up to get a base reading, and then one by one you can add the cards or start using them, there will always be that few percent margin of error from the system but it's pretty darn close once you wait for temperature and fan speed to settle...

too many idiotts on the pool, no profit. :o
That's not how it works. We need as many miners as we can get to solve as many blocks as possible. The more miners, the better that chance, it's a proportional payout of the work performed. Sure your payout might be smaller, but you would be getting more of them.
the point is you can only mine here with a (more) profitable gpu in comparison to scrypt
HD6990 - it makes 2540 cpm here  / 940 kH/s with scrypt / o.k. here
R9 290X - it makes 1350 cpm here / 850 kH/s with scypt / not o.k. here

BUT with the fast open-cl-miner my R9 290X makes 2530 cpm - this is o.k., but only at the beeeeeer-pool

hope NaN will implement other pool-support

when you mine at a smaller pool the luck-factor becomes bigger in comparison to mining at a greater pool(s)
Seems like that miner already has ypool support.

Would rather see 1gh supported before ypool to spread the pools out more... I've got to say the layout of the 1gh website is the primary reason I was mining here... it really is well done and informative to what you want to see... beeeeer.org went the "just the minimum" route for I'm assuming efficiency but man sometimes you just claw your eyeballs out...

I guess 1gh was not added for now because it "does not implement the latest xpt-protocol"... I was excited when 1gh added stratum... guess I will have to read up on the differences between all these protocols...

This means that the miner isn't able to connect to the server. That's a different problem. It could be a boost related problem, i.e. boost::asio::connect somehow fails. Did your IP change before that happens? I'm trying to fix it
UPDATE newly released version v0.1.2 should fix it.

Okay ran v0.1.1 for windows the past 12 hours straight and it seems to still be running solid no issues... I'll get the new version and fire it up...

I updated the miner to version 0.1.1, which should fix with the "doing no work" bug in Windows.

Okay got it up and humming along... saw the v0.1.1 in the header, I appreciate that!

I'll check back on it in a few hours and let it run overnight just to keep pressing it.

@Darkbane: This is really strange. the miner even recognizes a dead tcp connection ("watchdog timer triggered") and tries to reconnect but no block arrives from the server. after that a corrupted block is received. the sharetarged should be 03ffff....ffffbeafde4d. I guess this is related to Windows 8.1. Do you have access to Windows 7 (this works) or Windows 8?
EDIT other users with Win7 also report this problem. I take a look at it. The linux version works without problems for me.

Yeah the weird part is, clearly its worked many many times since I have run this for almost 8 hours, but several times its done this exact same thing... I mean I'm assuming its worked many times, I think it said every 30-60min it will mine for the author? so its worked 20-40 times but every so often randomly it just hangs... the weird part is its still pegging the video card at 99% even though its just trying to reconnect?

so Ubuntu is good? I've been thinking about taking a stab at it on a bootable usb drive, but I just don't know an ubuntu for dummies guide that really teaches me what things mean along the way, versus "type this"...

I understand this is v0.1 so I'm certain you've got pages of things you plan to do already heh... it's just impressive the performance gain over other miners with the same GPU... being able to leave it unattended for days would put it well beyond the others.

its been running for several hours... but now I seem to be running into a new problem... when it comes time to mine for the author, it seems to do that just fine for the 35 seconds... but when it comes time to switch back to mining for the user, it seems to be having trouble trying to get back to working...

in picture one you can see its going back to mining for user for 30min... at first it seems to be working but then suddenly dies... and in picture two you can see the problem continues for quite some time and it was not improving, so I finally killed it, restarted it, and its working without an issue again... this is the same problem I ran into before... it seems to have an issue switching between the mining for author and mining for user again...

my gpu's seem to be working at 99% as normal, but you can see the shares per minute absolutely drop down to nothing... and this goes on for quite some time, I simply could only take so many pictures in scroll back heh...

The new version of the miner will be released soon and will resolve the issues. EDIT: v0.1 is released

Very nice work !!!

2K cpm with r280X

but could you try to put it on Ypool or 1GH please :))

I would love to see this for 1GH, the paranoid side of me says no to Ypool until other pools level things out heh...

so far this seems to be running well, only encountered a problem when I hit a stale share after several hours, looks like the program froze, or maybe the screen stopped outputting, not really sure as I did the close window open new window fix... I should have captured the screen and checked with GPU-Z if things were still running...

1035 cpm on ASUS R9270-DC2OC-2GD5 (non-X version) estimating 100 watts used for the card it seems...

ok, thanks. this is a little bit strange... i need to think about it.
@duckproto: the 270X has 4GB RAM, or? with 2GB two instances should not work

both the 290 and 270 have 4GB each.

http://i.imgur.com/ykrZRpL.png

I was shocked to see there are some R9 270X versions with 4GB of memory... all this time I've only ever seen the 2GB versions... I would not have searched that out without noticing what you were doing... I shall now go palm slap my face.

so if 1 instance takes 1200MB, two takes 2400MB, are you able to run three for 3600MB on your 4GB cards? and still increase results?

Do you find that your GPU mining lowers when you are CPU mining on the same machine? I attempted this and the loss in GPU was simply not worth the gains from the CPU, I was simply using more electricity for no gain... (I was using the yam) I'm sure results will vary person to person, just wondering if anyone has added them together to see yet?
Yeah I noticed a big drop if you try to run both GPU and CPU at the same time. At the time I was running yam pointed to ypool and pts-miner 1.3 pointed to 1gh. I was able to get pretty good results by dropping 1 core on the CPU miner, example if it was 12 core, I used 11, etc. Now that they can all point to 1gh, I'll test more this evening with the new version 1.4 and see how goes.

Ahhh yes that is a good idea, dropping 1 thread just to free immediate CPU use... the things you overlook at 2am... guess this means I shall attempt again... good suggestion for those attempting to try this out.

thumbs up for this suggestion to use 1 less thread than your maximum available... tried it out and it works without causing any drop in performance on the GPU mining... (for my CPU its still not worth doing, but anyone looking to do this and noticing a drop in GPU performance, use one less thread and it should hold steady)

Guys,

Pool miner is now updated to version 1.4, please download it from the pts.1gh.com page.
  • It now uses stratum mining protocol, stale shares are almost zero
  • It is now possible to override workgroup size detection, please try setting it to 64-128-256 if you had 'Invalid group size' error
  • Hashrate is slightly improved

The pool now supports XPT protocol, for CPU mining you can now use yam! Connection string for yam is:
Code: [Select]
xpt2h://YOUR-MMC-ADDRESS:x@pts.1gh.com:18120:18121:18122:18123/pts
Sounds great, it will be nice to have all of my miners on the same pool. So we can use this miner? (the yvg1900 one?) from here:
https://mega.co.nz/#F!h0tkXSxZ!f62uoUXogkxQmP2xO8Ib-g
Thanks.

Does the GPU miner use a lot of your CPU time? It was the case for me when using two cards without setting GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS, now the miner sets this variable automatically. It is some old AMD driver issue.

barely any CPU usage at all (under 6% in task manager while I use various programs on the desktop)... I do from mining other things have two environment variables set... GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100 and GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1... I had been attempting to get SeLockMemoryPrivilege for cpu mining with large pages, but windows 8.1 is just an absolute bear with allowing this to get set, the MMC won't run locally by design anymore so I have not been able to set a correct value to get this working, which is why I am discounting my CPU mining experience as normal...

I do notice the GPU miner skips over my intel CPU as a GPU, despite the fact its still enabled for graphics, in fact its what I am using as my main desktop GPU so the two cards have zero load from anything else, it's just nice to not have any flicker or skips while using the computer... I tried to set the memory on the motherboard to 1024 thinking it skips past the built-in video as being too small, but even GPU-Z still does not recognize an increase in the memory, I was going to dig around for some set minimum command in windows to see if windows will force it to have a minimum memory.

using the 1.4 stratum version now, may I request you include a version number somewhere when it starts up, so we can easily identify in the future which version we are running? seems I am almost identical to previous work rates, so the inclusion of stratum to lower rejects should give a net increase with no wasted work time... huge bonus for all.

I started to try out the different workgroup sizes... seems I must settle on 256 as anything higher will error, is that expected for a 2GB video card? I'm guessing a 512 would work on a 4GB and so on? (just taking a stab at trying to understand since I see only 1.1GB of gpu memory being used, ASUS R9 270 2GB)

Wondering about the memory usage... I've got a 2GB video card but I see to only be using 1.1MB of the memory... wondering if this is normal from the program automatically configuring itself?

Windows 8.1
2x ASUS R9 270 (not the 270X) http://www.asus.com/Graphics_Cards/R9270DC2OC2GD5/
pts-1gh-win (is this version number or how do I tell)

side note for those wondering why it says dynamic memory instead of dedicated memory... For some reason GPU-Z has never reported dedicated memory usage, I think its just a snafu in the program or the driver itself reporting it correctly, when GPU mining scrypt I can change the threads and suck up every last bit of of the 2GB memory...
