Problem setting 'gpu_threads_conf' #141

Closed jsmallz3 closed 6 years ago

jsmallz3 commented 6 years ago

Hi there, I'm trying to set up a basic system using a single gtx 1070. When I go to launch the miner, I get the message:

'The configuration for 'gpu_threads_conf' in your config file is 'null'[...]'.

I have copied and pasted the 'block within the asterisks' to my config.txt file, and beyond that tried to play with some other thread/block configurations that would fit the specifications seen in the README. I even tried rebuilding after making these changes but still am given the output that the 'gpu_threads_conf' is null.

I'm trying to figure if I am missing some important step in attempting to run this. Is there some re-compiling step or something that I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if it matters but my CUDA is up to date.

Use the latest release and use the default config, add only the pool address, username and password. The miner will show you the best config.

I'm using the latest release, and have tried using the default config and the recommended one. I have populated the address, username/wallet address, and password appropriately, but am still facing this problem.

My CUDA works, as I have been able to run the CUDA samples along with Tensorflow for GPU. I've tried playing some more with the config.txt file's GPU configuration a bit more, but to no avail.

Validate your config.json file. https://jsonlint.com/
