I have 3 R9 280x sapphires I use with sgminer
On almost every single pool, with or without --no-submit-stale, after about 5 min of hashing, my worker get's banned and hashing drops to zero. If I lower the intensity, I barely get 500mh/s if that. If I set it to 13, it runs normal, but I get banned?
sgminer -o stratum+tcp://neo.cryptcoins.net:3331 -u user.worker -p x -I 13 -D -P --no-submit-stale
How can I prevent from getting banned with a decent hash rate?
[18:58:33] RECVD: , "Worker is temporarily banned", null], "id": 666, "result":
Here's a mention of banning I found looking through the stratum-miner source code.
Excessive sending of invalid shares or shares above indicated target (see Stratum mining docs for set_target()) may lead to temporary or permanent ban of user,worker or IP address.. Maybe your config settings are wrong? – John T – 2014-02-21T06:37:34.567@Jacob Torba That sounds correct. But I have no idea where to begin looking. sgminer doesn't have a .conf :( – dooode – 2014-02-21T13:04:05.483
Look for error messages in output? – John T – 2014-02-21T19:29:27.750
@Jacob Torba Just this, and nothing else, in any log file. [18:58:33] RECVD: , "Worker is temporarily banned", null], "id": 666, "result": null} JSON decode failed(1): end of file expected near ',' – dooode – 2014-02-22T13:13:42.210
@dooode Post your issue here - https://github.com/veox/sgminer/issues?milestone=2&state=open
– gotqn – 2014-03-23T07:56:29.833@Jacob Torba I posted there and they blamed the pool. I have since built a second miner using non sapphire r9 290 and on a different ASUS board but exact same settings and they don't get banned and I crank them up. It's got to be a hardware or driver conflict, but I see nothing in the logs. – dooode – 2014-03-27T08:04:25.483
