my config file has a json error
error code is need to specify at least one pool server.

How you expect to mine in a pool(assuming you're not planning to mine solo with just a 290x) without specifying pool server?

Try out your configuration in other pools first.

i thought this is pool server ?
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://hk.ltcrabbit.com:3335",
"user" : "xxx",
"pass" : "xxx"
},

Try out your configuration in other pools first.

im running ur settings with the thread to 8192 and it works , getting less errors now thanks.
running the settings thru a .bat file

Nice little something for those mining DogeCoin.

currently mining dogecoin with a nvidia rig, feel like converting to amd gpu + apu.. but seems like SG cant find any price lists with APUS leh.

very hard.Gotta go amazon for that one.

anyone using CGminer ?
my HW error like very high, why ah ?
using 290x mining at int 13. fan speed at 70percent.

Then you need to down clock your card. I UC my pair of 290 to 900MHz core and 100% fan to run stably. Else if it gets too hot, there will be errors.

Its like running prime95 on CPU. Errors in GPU hashing does not affect gaming performance but affects hashing accuracy so the block gets rejected.

You should convert. Nvidia cards aren't the best when it comes to mining.

Btw, me mining ltc right now...... Slow and painful..... Only around 4MH/s.....zZzZzZzZ

umm..nowadays what is the max. gfx card can a motherboard support? or should i said, which motherboard has the most gfx card slot? Just asking for my friend.

with the drop in litecoin price and the arrest of that guy, interest seems to have died down? more peopel selling rigs in the forums

It has dropped to 14 and lower before after China banned bitcoin trading but it still bounced back up.

To be specific. A board can support a max of 6 gpus if you run on Linux. Windows as far as I know 4. Most miners use risers to save bandwidth of the pcie slots. It's not necessary to have the long Pcie 16x slots to run gpus for mining.

AMD mantle and the latest beta drivers is all and good for the star swarm benchmark but it crippled my mining hashes,so download at your own risk

my R9 290 is producing only this:

not sure what I did wrongly. The mem.clock refuses to rise beyongd 150.

huh? Intensity 6, GPU temperature at 90 degrees?

ya lor, the settings (like clock speeds) refuses to change sia...

i changed intensity to 20, but it just dropped itself.

use afterburner to turn up the fan speed
then up the intensity.

could be the card is throttling itself downwards because of the temps

Its 20+ right now. But I would say still plenty of interest. Its hard to mine due to scrypt.

Huh? It's hard to mine due to scrypt? It's because of scrypt that we gpu miners still got chance. It's SHA of bitcoin that makes gpu miners no chance.
