Funny reading this thread is like reading the Orb thread last month. Same excuse's from the dev almost verbatim.

Why don't you get in touch with Mad_Max like I recommended. He probably will only take a small bounty to fix your issue.

He fixed ORB because he liked the coin and the dev turned it into a all out war instead of adopting the fix. But they have worked it out and Max is now a dev.

Lurkmode on.

Hard fork update with code that puts a lock on the sync process unless the user is updated to the latest version.  If I remember correctly, I'm pretty sure it's how Litecoin did it last year.  Basically, "if version !=x then sync=false".  And they get a big red update notice in the area that says "you need to update you wallet or else you're a dope".

Force them to update, and let's eliminate this variable.

The longer it goes on the better for you? Why, cause the price is so low? What if it completely crashes because the problem takes too long to get fixed? lol

Does anyone here use sgminer and understand how to 'build' it, or save me the trouble and tell me where i can just download the complete thing

cheers

I don't see the download link though.. probably being dumb

I don't understand GIthub either... a bunch of files but for what and where is the download link

OK yeah I found that.. about 2 seconds after I said I can't see it... sheessh this head cold makes me slow!

Ok now whats this about 'building' it  Can't I just use it as it comes? like I did cgminer? (obviously I've got to create my .bat file)

Can someone please tell me where I'm getting a problem with this .bat file using sgminer if it matters

I've taken the settings from this guy

https://litecointalk.org/index.php?topic=12369.0;prev_next=next#new

though i have no idea what the expiry/scantime/queue bit do. but he has the same cards exactly as i do and is getting 700 + hash.  anyway I get the "unexpected extra commandline arguments" error.  I took out the expiry/scan-time/queue parts and got the same thing. I noticed that each card has its own setting and though he has different ones for each card for gpu engine as i'm starting i was keeping mine the same.

any help please

I dont think you need to tell sgminer to use scrypt as that is the only thing it does.

Let me know if that fixes it haha. I have a couple rigs using sgminer on windows 7

Nice, mate! I'm getting the same rates with my Asus 280x's!

Ok I still need help here please

I followed this thread as it got him decent results with my cards

I've got a complied version of sgminer, downloaded his .cl file and .bin file and written the .bat file like his (as below) and all I get is "unexpected extra commandline arguments" from sgminer.. Why?

sgminer kernel : scrypt130302 --thread concurrency 8192,8192,8192 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --auto-fan --temp-cutoff 90,90,90 --temp-overheat 85,85,85 --temp-target 68,68,68 --gpu-memclock 1500,1500,1500 --gpu-engine 1065,1065,1065 --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0

that thread has --lookup-gap 2 in his .bat file as well, though that has already been pointed out it doesn't need to be there, but I get the same problem whether its included or not.  The kernel file is simply the name of the kernel file, but again i've tried the zuikkis.cl and that doesn't change anything.  So where am I going wrong.. still...

please help!
