    Ok whilst checking credentials out of the dcrd window I noticed that it looked in USERS/LOCAL,,,, for a dcrd.conf file ,,,

    I don't have one !!
    what is that supposed to look like ?

    thanks that's done it
    i'm surprised to see port 19109 instead of 9109 I would never have got that

    Edit the solution was quite simple ,,, Stop using a dcrd.conf file all together.

    Do note that there are 2 ports, one is for testnet and one is for mainnet!

    no, its some extra data used on "stratum" pools, used to prevent duplicated hashing (data different for each worker)

    @tpruvot I've tried both from sgminer-x64-5.3.1-dcr.7z and sgminer-tpruvot-cfc6e1e-wolfbuild-Win64.zip with an AMD R9 380 and the hashrate is much lower than cgminer v0.0.4 . With sgminer I get about 1Gh/s with intensity at 29 and with cgminer I get about 1.20Gh/s with intensity at 14. I also set the intensity of sgminer up to 31 with no obvious benefits on hashrate. GPU usage in all cases is almost constant 100%.

    The good thing is that we can now use stratum with AMD VGAs and the CPU usage with sgminer is close to 0%. But the hashrate is significantly lower compared to cgminer and I hope we will see improvements with the future sgminer versions or the future gominer because stratum is starting to become a standard on pools.

    sgminer.exe -k decred -I 19 -g 1 -w 256 -o http://dcr.suprnova.cc:8120 -u asd.1 -p 123

    I'm not sure if this is the right place; please let me know if it isn't. When I use sgminer, compiled on Ubuntu 15.04 x86_64 from github.com/tpruvot/sgminer, it works fine for about 13-15 mins and then I get an (core dumped) message and it stop.

    This is the command I'm using: sgminer -k decred -o stratum+tcp://yiimp.ccminer.org:3252 -u Dxxxxxx -p x -T -I 20 -w 64 -g 2

    Then I noticed that if I lower the intensity, it last longer before it gets the segmentation fault. So far, it looks like if I use an Intensity lower than 12, it has no problem at all. I have tested this in a computer with Radeon 7770 and another computer with 2x R9 270x (both with Ubuntu 15.04 and the recommended Crimson drivers) with the same results.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Could you try with the older "decred" branch to check if there is a difference... i also seen stability issues with a RX580. Could be related to AMD drivers

    Sure thing. I'll be out of town for the weekend, but Monday morning I'll give it a try. Thanks.

    Is there a technical reason win 32 bit versions do not support TLS?

    Spent a few hours trying to get sgminer 5.3.1 (32-bit) to mine solo before realizing this.
    I does appear to work with dcrd --notls but then dcrwallet stops working connecting.
    Due to some legacy issues I can not upgrade to 64-bit.
