Hardware error: Hash abxXXX above minimum target 00000XXX #175

Does this mean I have to change something in my code? I've been mining Decred for 4 days on a GTX 1080 Ti and haven't gotten any blocks. Does it have something to do with this error?

Hi,

This is actually a duplicate of #122. I believe it's simply a case of not clearing out the last hash calculated on the GPU before returning to gominer. (gominer expects the GPU to only return share-like hashes).

With respect to not getting any blocks, the difficulty/hash rate is so high that your chances of solo mining a block with a 1080 Ti is very, very small to none.
