Hi guys , I stopped mining for a couple of months (dont know exactly how much) and when i decided to fire up my rigs again , i discovered that dark is now dash , ok , updated my wallet, started sgminer , and I am mining again , but i noticed that I am getting this:

Did something change with the configuration , since dark is now dash?
This is my .conf file:
Code:
{
"pools" : [
   {
     "url" : "stratum+tcp://mining.darkcointalk.org:3333",
     "user" : "",
     "pass" : ""
   }
]
,

Would you like to try mining on p2pool ?
If yes, please try using your address as User with any password and change url to one of following address
stratum+tcp://p2pool.dashninja.pl:7903 (France)
stratum+tcp://103.13.228.168:7903 (Thailand)
stratum+tcp://dash.p2pools.us:7903 (us)
stratum+tcp://eu.p2pool.pl:7903
stratum+tcp://dash01.p2poolmining.us:7903 - Miami
stratum+tcp://dash02.p2poolmining.us:7903 - Seattle
stratum+tcp://dash03.p2poolmining.us:7903 - Chicago
stratum+tcp://dash04.p2poolmining.us:7903 - Los Angeles

Please let me know if you have any questions.
 
I updated my miner to sgminer v 5.1 and now I am getting:

I have had that happen a few times and never quite nailed what the problem was.
What has triggered it:-
1) opening another mining instance on a separate GPU/worker (restarting instances usually sorts this)
2) changing to another version sgminer
3) updating graphics drivers

Possible solutions

1) Download a different version of sgminer such as sgminer_x11x13mod_03_06_2014 or sgminer-5.0-pre-release-2014-07-20-win32
2) Go back to an earlier version of your graphics drivers, for AMD, try amd-catalyst-14.7-rc3
3) try x11mod instead of darkcoin-mod
4) adding this in your config: "no-extranonce" : true
5) try a smaller work size, I find 64 is best
6) delete all your old .bins and create new ones and start from there, only add wolf0's .bins at end if all is working.
7) copy a working sgminer folder or specific .bin from another machine and using that if compatible (good one when all else fails!)
 
I just saw you are using the old out of date darkcoin kernal instead of darkcoin-mod and your config is overly complicated, start simple and add later, most settings max out anyway. (make sure your graphics card is device 0, it might be 1!)
