sgminer on trashcan MacPro w/d700s

NOTaMango

No matter what I set the intensity to the HW: (hardware errors) constantly increments, and it never submits a share. It does not do this with the older version of 4.1. I've tried it on 12 different systems all with the same result. Curious if you have any insight.

Here's my startup line:

export GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT=100; export GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS=1; ./sgminer -o stratum+tcp://...(redacted) --shaders 2048 -I 18 --no-submit-stale

Thanks!

A bunch of the algorithms in sgminer don't work properly on macOS, it had to be modified slightly to even compile and run for it - which are you trying to use?

NOTaMango

I'm just doing basic scrypt mining, I haven't been specifying an algorithm. What's the best one to pick?

FabulousPanda

I'm not sure whether it defaults to scrypt, I'd suggest setting it to scrypt specifically. You can also use bfgminer for scrypt if you're having trouble with sgminer.

NOTaMango

Yeah still no go, and bfgminer fails as well (also your link to d/l is dead). sgminer 4.1.0 still works, so I guess I'll continue to use that.

Whoops, thanks for the heads up! Fixed the link.

What sgminers are you using? Are the problems with ones downloaded from this site and where are you getting 4.1?

NOTaMango

I grabbed 4.1 from spaceman.ca quite a while back, I was just trying to get on a more recent version on the mac side of things.
