New Miner Needing Help with HD7870 settings on NSGminer?

Re: P2Pool additional graphs.
You can now see you “earnings going up” that is the current percentage of the next p2pool payout, it is the amount you would get if p2pool found the block now.
The amount you get will go up and down depending on the Global pool rate. When the next block is found will also depend on the pool rate, If the rate is high you will get more blocks but lower percentage and vica verca.
-
As for the card settings if you press [G] the [ I ] on NSGminer you cant start gradually increasing the Intensity, as you first step into mining optimization. You may get back to I 16 if the xSet commands caused the blue screen!
Note : I’ve edited the title so any one who has a HD7870 might have some better settings… I have a R9 290.

P2Pool just got a block 5 minutes ago, so you got a 6 FTC share, should be in your wallet now
You can see who else was on the p2pool group on blockchain explorer :

thanks wrapper, your cool. thanks for changing thread title.
I’m just going to let it run for a while, as I have loads of washing to do and get dry.
Mining is ideal for that.I had to restore my machine to the last restore point so when i got it back, my newley installed wallet was gone. So downloaded and ran the wallet again and it now has to reindex (2 yeas & 25 weeks behind).
The address is the same as before so it must have picked up the keystore file ok.
So i got a wait to see my FTC. :grinning:So i get a payout when we find a block?
I may bring you luck
Warm wishes

Re : Mining result, you have a reasonable rig at the moment so should see regular payouts for a while, even if Global hash rates double. Difficulty is now averaging 15, whereas it has been steady at about 7 for months, so you missed out there!

No problem,
My NSGminer stop working ~16:00h, restarted, now ok, i might disable “Areo” theme in Windows.
The blip before midday was a windows update i had been putting off.
Also, last night i was mining on the node and saw high stale hashrate, i closed NSGminer, restarted then all ok. Any ideas?
I need to keep an eye on this rig, eth mining was very stable for me.
Also; I will be updating my address in a day or so when my laptop wallet has synched.
Do we have a place on this forum where node users can all communicate?
Warm wishes

@wrapper It isn’t possible to increase intensity past the initial. It may be reduced and increased back to the initial. Memory allocation depends on intensity. It’s performed only once on start-up.
-
Yes, she started it on I 16 - it crashed and blue screened te PC, see the “new members” part of post ,
I explained that NSGminer does a lot of auto settings…
-
yes, HD7870 max intensity is 13,
Getting stability takes time. It will come!@wrapper, i think the bit i wrote about it going blue screen was on the Newbie thread as you said. look…

Any ideas why NSGminer mines well for hours… but just decides to stop working and shuts down? i run the bat and its fine again…, for a while anyhow! I used to have an Antminer U3 like this, hmmm… doesn’t take long to get fed up with resetting. :weary:
-
@greenuser Look at the system log. It could be hardware related or pool issues.
-
@ghostlander , Application error! according to event viewer. A driver failed and then recovered just before. I’m having to reset every 2 hours. This is doing my head in, just haven’t got the time for all this, too many cloths to dry. I might go back to mining ethereum as its heat from the GPUs i’m after, the crypto coin is just a by-product, and I just don’t have the time to spend tweeking.:angry:
-
@greenuser If there was a driver recovery, reduce GPU and/or memory clocks (–gpu-engine, --gpu-memclock).

Ha, I remember seeing you on the ethereum forums. I posted a pic of our aging but useful DL380’s in our data center. :grin: I do remember you, the guy who had the miraculously left behind Tesla K80, and another with a near-useless M2090 (that I helped anyway).
Man, that must be close with max power draw; 2x4-core xeons + 4 7870’s, 1600Wpsu’s if I recall…

Your memory is not that good though. I was one of the few female miners on the forum.
Don’t worry, demmographics in crypto and peoples mind set…, it’s the 21st century and we are still under represented in many areas… and yes, i have enough switch mode PSUs to start a V8 :smile:
So you left the Banking Establishment’s crypto foot-in-the door, coin to mine ftc? :smirk:@ghostlander thank you, things have settled now. One card had differing results from the other three in NSGminer. I dumped a .conf file while running and went in to have a look.
All values looked the same for each card (i did however trim my fan speeds to get all the cards at ~ the same temp) so i then looked at my AMD settings and one card was slightly overclocked in frequency for some reason. Driver seems ok now.
I note your recommendations and will try if i have further difficulties, can i just add them to the list in the .conf file of NSGminer?All running sweet now fingers X

Of course I remember you’re a lady, sheesh! :blush: My 50-ish brain hasn’t melted yet, (though my kids are always trying to turn up the heat). And I think you already posted a pic over there, it was sitting on a table in your dining room or near your kitchen if I recall…
I’ve mined FTC for a couple years on and off now with some others inbetween. ETH was a quick buck for me; got in in January and quit in April, bought my kids new PC’s with the proceeds without having invested anything in “mining equipment” (game boxes I’ve owned for years). I just love the blowhards over there who call themselves “professional miners” — a true deprecation of the p-word. :disappointed:
Too many people think fintech is actually going to use one of these public cryptos for something, causing its price to do a moonshot. :rolleyes: <— (we need this emoji!) Sure, some blockchain variant will get cred and “affirmation” if it’s used (only in their backroom transaction services, eliminating jobs of course), but crypto as a true form of payments are still a long, long way from critical mass public adoption. Especially when it takes a wallet hours to sync a few weeks worth of blocks (looking at you, bitcoin).
Oh well, nice chatting, time to put the boys to bed… :family:

@bluebox I am convinced that ethereum is the banking establishments secret weapon to try dominate crypto. They want to discredit public blockchains in favour of private banking blockchains. It will all come out soon that eth has been adopted by the same banks that crashed the economy.
People will lose their shirt in eth, already being asked to double down the dao and the word “Ponzi” was in my head from day one. Anyhow, I love a good Ponzi, early adopters make the coin. You just need to remember to get out when asked to double down. I did ok though, but it is a changing world, and there is a need to stay ahead of the curve.Feathercoin attracted me because of the ASIC resistant algo, slightly better encryption and the attitude of the dev team and community. I watched the vid on the feathercoin web page and compared it to the vids I remember from the ethereum and the slockit dev teams. Go look for yourself. It looks more “bottom up” here (ftc) and more “top down” over there (eth). I also think feathercoin is undervalued in the markets and could be a good hedge against Brexit fuelled GBP (£) losses. It need better suport from the exchanges though.
Anyhow, back to work,
NSGminer stopped in the night last night. The application did not crash. I looked this morning and the column after the fan speed figures had displayed the word “WAIT”, I restarted and it is hashing now. I may do ghostlander’s idea of reducing GPU and/or memory clocks (–gpu-engine, --gpu-memclock) in .conf… If I get time today that is… We are getting drunk ATM, celebrating the first British Independence Day -

OK i am mining on ethereum nanopool at the moment.
It will mine for about 2 min on feathercoin and then it tells me to WAIT!PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME GET FEATHERCOIN WORKING.
