AMD OpenCL Momentum miner

[battleaxe]

I need some help setting up my miner. I have my 290 on the Ubuntu machine. Can someone help me set it up? I don't know the commands to get it running in as I am very new to Ubuntu. Still learning the process and terminal. Can someone help me?

reason invalid worker username

i dono how to set up... i register in ypool.net i want to add the ypool user name?

-t 6798 means Gfx card no 6798.

You need to change that to -t 0 or -t 0,0 is you only use a single 280X.

First, congrats for your  very good work. I think the 2.5% fee helps to motivate

Second, I've ran into an issue with 0.2.2 (Didn't test with previous versions) : I can't launch more than 8 threads inside one clpts, have to launch 2 times. Seems related to the lenght of the command line, when I put more than 8 threads, clpts can't authenticate (showing me a weird one char login).

My login is 8 chars, my password 1 char.

Probably a minor issue but if you can have a look, it's probably a 30s fix

Thank you

Please use the latest version, i.e. 0.1.4 for beeeeer.org and 0.2.2 for ypool.net
EDIT Is another miner running on your computer?

[NewMine]

Do you have only one card? Then -t 0,1 will not work. Please try -t 0 -a 1 or -t 0,0 -a 1 and see which setting is faster. btw 1750 cpm is too slow for a 7970. Is the newest miner version installed?

Now I am getting -a is not an option message.

[NewMine]

still getting error..  line 71: Method clCreateBuffer (...) for binned data failed (errorcode -61) and i removed the 1 from -t

[NewMine]

driver 13.251.0.0

yeah after reading through the thread i thought 1700 was rather slow.

only 1 card.

i downloaded from op.

my .bat is  clpts_x86-64.exe -u xxxxxx.pts_1 -p xxxxx -t 0,1

everything was working fine the past few day until tonight. i was getting ~1750 col/m on these settings.

It means CL_INVALID_BUFFER_SIZE. That should not happen with a 7970. What are your command line options and what is your Catalyst driver version?

[NewMine]

Just got an error -61.

Anyone know what this means? It has been running fine the past few days. I have windows 7 running a 7970. My computer rebooted for some reason and then I get the error message now.

I found this guide on editing your bios to undervolt AMD GPU's on linux. Someone should give it a try and share your results, of course know that this is at your own risk. I am extremely busy with my work and school schedule so I most likely won't get to it this week.

This is a great article and find but unfortunately it doesn't apply to those with R9 290(x). Perhaps someone will come up with a solution
for those of us with linux + r9 290(x) in the near future. I do know someone that used this mod and it worked great!

I have previously reported some windows updates changed some of the performance of the 0.1.4 version... but I got mistaken by the fact that I am using the second GPU for my monitor... and the AMD driver has a "flaw" (in my opinion...) that when the first card to be detected over the PCIe has no Display adapter connected to the RAMDAC... it does not "turn on the full potential of the GPU"...

I mean if you walk away from a computer and the monitor turns off, why keep things running and wasting energy, it is a brilliant energy saving feature 99% of people benefit from, except miners... you need a dummy plug that will trick it into thinking there is an actual monitor plugged in... I'm assuming your 270 card probably came with a DVI to VGA adapter of some sort, most seem to, you can use the website below and some simple resistors from an electronics store.

some people who use certain powered risers, won't need this as the pcboard they connector to their cards will have this built in as a feature...
