    Hmm, autotune on windows is super inaccurate at the moment. The gettimeofday() routine I am using on Windows seems to have a resolution that is not accurate enough.  And I think I skip the "take 3 measurements and average" policy when in scrypt-jane mode... But it is not a good idea for low n-Factors...

    This needs to be refined before a new release.

    Have you tried using:
    SYSTEMTIME time;
    GetSystemTime(&time);
    WORD millis = time.wMilliseconds; etc.
    for Windows?
    I think it is the most accurate one

    It could be really slow sometimes. I was thinking about trying to add a few lines to cudaMiner --benchmark mode so that it exits after autotune finds the best startup config and make a massive batch file with all the different kernels/lookup gaps/N factors and just let it play while I'm at work. Not sure if the GPU would like to jump up and down all day though.

    Does anyone know how to go about setting up cudaminer for solo mining? I want to try solo mining vertcoin but I am a bit lost on what I would put in the batch file to direct it towards my wallet.

    Do I have to make up my own port number, username and password? Can I just leave 127.0.0.1 as it is or does that need changed as well?

    Thanks and sorry for the questions. I just want to be sure I've got this right so I'm not mining air.

    Ok guys so I am still mining yacoin here which seems very very low value  what are we all mining? What gpus? And whats profitability like?

    Its a big ask I know but whats the point having amazing cudaminer if im not using it to its best :-) after all; the more I mine, the more gets donated to christian. Right now im looking to donate 10% of everything I mine

    Ok, HERE's the list I was talking about regarding the N factor changes of different coins.

    I probably left some mistakes in as I had very little time to make it. Feel free to comment on them and let me know if you know any more coins that could be on the list!

    Wow. That is extremely useful. I didnt even know nost of those existed. I can now see why microcoin is being mined with such a low N factor.

    But how profitable is it? Im guessing some very high block rewards?

    Microcoin just switched Nfactor 7 to Nfactor 8 (N=512).

    WARNING: cudaminer does not handle this gracefully during mining. The miner must be restarted.

    I wonder if there is a way to get cudaminer to check the wallet for the current nfactor every so often and if its changed restart itself? It would only work for solo mining but it may be a way round it

    nope, everything has to be reinitialized. memory allocation, etc... terminating cudaminer would make sense

    Yes so it could perhaps shut off the miner and launch itself again with the new nfactor

    If I try running my batch file with my wallet not open and it says it can't connect, but then when I open my wallet and try again it connects and starts hashing, does that mean that I have successfully set up a solo mining address? When I am already hashing and I close my wallet, cudaminer continues to hash. Is that a bad sign? I am a bit confused on this and I don't want to leave cudaminer hashing for hours if this is not right.

    I'm not 100% sure but I think recconecting is fine, and the reason cudaMiner won't stop hashing after you close the wallet as far as I noticed is because the wallet stays in the background and not closes completely. Check the process in task manager.

    You are correct in that vertcoin-qt does not close completely unless I end its process. When I ended the process in task manager the hashing stopped, so I think I might actually be solo mining. Smiley

    This would be awesome!

    An enhanced tuning mode that tries all possible warp configs with possible combinations of -H -C -L for a longer period to ensure accuracy and saves the data in a text file to review.

    After further tries on Microcoin the result doesn't validate on my CPU, then it shows "share above target" I'm going to try a Velocity coin pool. Which gives the same results that the result doesn't validate on the CPU. What should the start parameters be to mine them for a Fermi card?

    share above target is a problem with nearly all MicroCoin pools. I can currently solo-mine though.

    validation errors with Fermi kernels have been seen with sm_21 compilations and the CUDA 5.0 toolkit. The CUDA toolkit 5.5 worked fine.

    I went back to compute_10 because apparently sm_21 brings no speed gain, but makes the cards run hotter. This and the validation problem.

    Have you tried both the F and the X kernels in MRC mode? Both fail to validate?



    F and X both fail to validate Christian. I have your 18th build, the latest you warn about it running hot. Is that where you compiled for sm_21? I believe I am running CUDA 5.5 But it's a bugger to keep track of. How would I make sure the compiler uses the latest CUDA libraries?
