CUDA miner

Genoil

coinotron, coinmine.pl, ethpool, ethermine. I have nothing personally against dwarfpool but I don't think they really need more hash if you know what I mean. So stratum support for dwarf is not very high on my priority list.

Failover for stratum will come in 1.0.7

mrp

ethermine use dwarf proxy, what problem attempt to dwarf ?

but no hashrate appeared on ethermine.org through implemented proxy, still in miner window shares accepting

So... using the -R old option, it now uses twice as much diskspace. The old files are kept inside the ethereum mining directory and there are two still in ethash in app data. Not sure why this is the case. When it generates a new one you can literally delete the old ones while it's doing it.

-R old implies that you want to store Dag files in ./old directory. It has nothing to do with cleanup. Use -E old for that. It will then keep the current dag directory (default or specified via -R) clean, but always keeps the latest two dags (current and upcoming)

Weird, not sure how I messed that up. Looks like it works.

Genoil, I remember you were experimenting with DAG into 2 chinks of memory - did you forked-off this feature?

Small feature request - when new job is received or share is found todiplay number of found&accepted shares?
Like in ccminer style
accepted: 99/100 (99.00%), 1096.36 MH/s yes!

Updated today to NVidia-364.12 opensource, got 5 % higher hashrate one my GTX950M
goes up from 5,5 MH/s to 6 MH/s stable.
needs to recompile the miner

cheers

Hi, new to this. I own video studio. Experimenting with one rig, a Titan X on win 10 latest drivers. Disappointing 6-10Mh/s to nanopool. I have 3x 970 and a 980ti as well as Titan X. Would like to tune before expanding to other rigs. Should I make a bootable usb with linux on for mining or can I get better rates with win 10?

i went back down to windows 7 because i was only getting 15mhs with 3 Titans on windows 10.
With windows 7 i get about 62mhs

@electricvideoguy
yes you wold get better performance with NVIDIA Devices on Linux.
Normaly you could run linux also from USB Thumbdrive.

electricvideoguy

Cool. Thx chaps. Any recommended (read:easy) distro?

LeChuckDE

@electricvideoguy
would recomment ubuntu 15.10
Cuda 7.5 from NVIDIA Website (it is for 15.04 but works with 15.10)
update to NVIDIA 364.12 Driver:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-364 nvidia-364-dev nvidia-settngs
fetch cpp-ethereum from genoil and compile

works for me greate !

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mark everything between the lines.
save it it into install.sh
chmod +x install.sh
./install.sh

now you are able to build the cpp-ethereum from genoil

brilliant, thanks again!

I was getting about 3mh/s on Win10 so I tried it on my older Vista system with the 347 nvidia drivers and am now getting about 12mh/s. Win7 or vista plus older drivers seems to be the trick for nvidia cards.

dugan

I am getting 21 mh/s from an overclocked GTX 970 on Windows 10 with 0.9.41-genoil-1.0.6b2. Using 347.52 driver did the trick. Before that I was getting less than half that on current drivers. Since that driver version is not officially supported for Win10 I uninstalled all drivers, started the installer and let it extract contents to C:\nvidia, through device manager manually add the driver to the card through the "have disk" option and point it to the extracted location. You cannot run the installer itself due to error out as OS is not technically supported on this version.

Do not forget to tell Win10 not to automatically update drivers, Advanced system settings, hardware tab, device installation settings, select no option to not automatically download drivers.

Hello. I need help!
My hashrate is verry low in ubuntu 14.04 with 750ti. This rig is with 6 x 750ti

Genoil

@hoze it's not much indeed, but expected behaviour for 750Ti's. With each new DAG, it gets a bit worse.

hmm, so it's better to leave on something else . I though that 750ti can give something like 6-7Mhs/gpu .

Have you overclocked the gpus? You should overclock both gpu and memory. They oveclock very well.

Offcourse. You should enable coolbits and then You can find the overclocking sliders in the Nvidia Xserver settings.

hoze

Thx. I will try that.

Anyone successfully mining with GTX 650 Ti? I'm getting some strange results with 0 H/s each third/fourth try and no successful solution submission.

See mining log here: http://pastebin.com/bGTzQXc8

hoze

I try to build the last version of now got this error:



Sorry! SOLVED

work

That's just because your work size is too large to consistently complete in the 200ms reporting window. Increase your farm-recheck a bit, or decrease work-size.

Regarding shares, you're mining on ethpool I see (I'm guessing based on the share target). Ethpool's fixed share target is very high for small rigs, so it's understandable that 10MH isn't finding many shares. Hard to say if those 2 shares that were rejected mean you're producing bad results, because the sample size is so small.

Try another pool with vardiff. I've been very happy with MiningPoolHub recently.

Genoil

If you are worried about the ability to find shares, run ethminer -U -Z. You should get solutions and diff should go up towards high twenties. If it stays at 20, the kernel consistently produces rubbish. I use it for kernel testing.

Offcourse. You should enable coolbits and then You can find the overclocking sliders in the Nvidia Xserver settings.

Only option I got in nvidia-settings is fan control. Maybe some help ? I edit xorg.conf and add the Option "Coolbits" "4" line.

mfluker

Is there a recent set of steps to follow to compile on Linux? I'm on Ubuntu 15.10 64bit. I've cloned the repo. Just looking for the proper make commands. I got a little bit lost in this thread.

I already have the vanilla ethminer version working. Thanks and appreciate any help.

Add coolbits 28.

Genoil

@mfluker see a few posts up: http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/comment/27276/#Comment_27276

then in cpp-ethereum:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DBUNDLE={cuda}miner ..
make -j8 

in {} is optional. if you build for cuda, you'll need the cuda toolkit installed.

Genoil

@LeChuckDE would you be interested in trying to figure out the least amount of required dependencies for Ubuntu? Things like Qt, llvm are no longer required to build my fork.

I'm planning to get solid build instructions up on github, but then they need to be perfect

A weird bug in 1.0.6
on 7990 card this version count the cores in reverse order - other ethminer version see the 2 cores in different order. Tried 103, 104 and "official" ethminer versions

Also, I had the stupidity to run with -E old, when mining EXP - in result my ETH DAGs were deleted, but the weird thing is - EXP DAGs were deleted too - and then it started rebuilding these :O
