I *think* this miner BSODed my rig this morning with a Windows error code of 0x...50 which is usually from a hardware failure, but seeing as this miner now warns it will stress the GPUs even harder than its progenitor (which is already quite finicky about overclocking) I'm guess it is the actual culprit.

Should I tweak intensity, or go with the non-hp version?

Can you explain to me, I do not quite understand.
Block time: 120 seconds

But now at official pool:
Network:
Hash Rate: 6.51 MH/sec
Block Found: 12 minutes ago

Why is that?

The block time of 120 seconds (2 minutes) is the target time. There will be variance either side of that number depending on the luck of the various pools. Over time however the average time to find a block should be very close to 2 minutes.


Agree with @Speedie.
Average time is used. Sometime it may take few hours also to find next block.

Statistically this is possible, yes, but it should be a "tail event," if not an outright "black swan." Difficulty is supposed to dynamically adjust so that the target time to find each block is reached, yes?*



* - I suspect if the difficulty adjustment function was too aggressive oscillations in difficulty would result, with severe over and undershoot; perhaps that is what we are seeing as a result of, e.g., wild swings in network hashrate from NiceHash coming on/offline?

1064  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NPlusMiner - Pool/Algo switching miner with Plus logic (NVidia) on: February 24, 2018, 11:46:53 AM
Is it plausible to include a "pause" function? Something where we can stop the mining process, but keep the brain function active? I dislike losing the accrued "trust" level whenever I restart the program. I may stop this program so as to check on a new direct mine coin for a couple of hours or a couple of days, but then this program needs 6 hours to spool the trust level back up.

I like this suggestion, too.

***

On another note, I let 1.3.2 run all night and the new Neoscrypt miner was in heavy use (no surprise, since it claims to do about 500 kH/s more than the miner used in 1.3.1 and earlier) BUT about 30 minutes ago - right as I was walking the mutt so not looking at the computer, of course - Windows BSODed with a 0x00..50 error, which is usually hardware related but which I suspect is hsrminer overstressing the GPUs (or I need to back of the O/C to use it).

So I am back to 1.3.1 for now to see if the issue repeats, which would then suggest it really is a hardware problem.

what's wrong ?

Well, for one thing it specifically says on the home page to NOT add the algo to the coin symbol in the password field; the algo is specified in the URL/port combination. So your password should read: c=XVG

Otherwise, you, just like manic_miner74 before you, don't seem to understand that this pool let's you specify the algo to mine, and the coin to receive as payment, but does not let you directly mine a single coin. So all of the Shield and Taj and Neva coins listed above will be sent to an exchange to get converted into the payout coin you specified, XVG (once you fix your password, anyway).

Sweet mother of Crisco, NPlusMiner just added this as the new default Neoscrypt miner and it's going through the benchmarking now. If the console output is to believed it's doing over 4.5 MH/s on my 6x GTX 1060 rig, which is at least 300 kH/s better than Palgin's version claimed it could do. Even if I have to lop off 10%, same as Palgin, that's still a very respectable ~4.1 MH/s.

You can't evaluate a mining pool by comparing what you made on one day vs. another! Even if your hashrate is the same and you mine the same algo(s) for the same time(s) that doesn't account for changes in network difficulty or pool "luck" (finding a block is a probabilistic event, not a certainty).

It's even harder to fairly evaluate a multi-algo, auto-exchange mining pool as the algo-switching software (e.g. - NemosMiner) affects your earnings, too.

The only approach that has any chance of producing useful data is to compare two identical rigs with one running NiceHash and the other your multi-algo, auto-switching software on the pool of your choice. This comparison needs to be run for at least 24 hours, but preferably for several days, and you should note the total earned for each rig at the same time(s) each day.

1068  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Server PSU or ATX PSU? on: February 23, 2018, 06:59:35 PM
If using a mobo that requires risers for the GPUs then sure, a PICO + server psu is the way to go, but if using a riserless mobo like the Onda D1800, etc., then you pretty much have to use an ATX PSU, with or without a server PSU.
1069  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NPlusMiner - Pool/Algo switching miner with Plus logic (NVidia) on: February 23, 2018, 06:49:21 PM
ah ok thanks

Also I think I have a problem. For how long should the system be bencharming? My bitcore algo is being bencharked since almost 1 hour now

http://prntscr.com/iiuden

Near as I can tell, each algo is supposed to take 6 minutes to benchmark, sometimes 12. I would close the main NPlusMiner window, making sure the miner window closes, too, then restart NPlusMiner. It should pick up where it left off, and it should also skip over bitcore, but if it doesn't let it run for 15 minutes then remove it from the list of algos in your start[pool].bat file and try another day.

1070  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Server PSU or ATX PSU? on: February 23, 2018, 06:14:14 PM
I hate ATX psu`s, they are bulky, heavy, expensive. PICO is microscopic compared to ATX.

Yeah, and it also blows up when overloaded and takes the mobo with it. No thanks.

1071  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NPlusMiner - Pool/Algo switching miner with Plus logic (NVidia) on: February 23, 2018, 06:05:51 PM
Why the PHI and TRIBUS gives me 0 as potential profit?

http://prntscr.com/iitvb1

Probably because those ports have been disabled by the pool due to a fork or some other issue. Note that both of those are single coin algos.

1072  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Server PSU or ATX PSU? on: February 23, 2018, 05:27:49 PM
I think server PSUs are using for providing to GPU only (It looks). I saw breakout card on eBay, but there are no ATX 24pins on the board. How you guys connect those for operating together?

Oh fercryinoutloud - I answered this in post #32.

I get an error when Is tart ccminer alexis.

I have 12 cards. When I select  -SelGPUDSTM '0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11' -SelGPUCC '0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11
I get an error from ccmimer alexis 1.0 as CUDA 11 gpu not existing.


Is it a known problem?

Do you have any experience running ccminer or other mining software by itself? If not, then I strongly suggest you not use this miner manager until all the kinks and bugs are worked out because it is not really geared towards newbies and may not ever be suitable for such, given that it is a collection of PowerShell scripts and batch files.

NiceHash is an excellent alternative, and no shame in using it - I do myself sometimes.

I have done that, and the output is shown in the picture that I originally attached to my post.

Likely your card is not supported, then, or badly misconfigured in amd.txt as a result of your attempts at tweaking. A common cause of the GPU not being used is incorrectly setting the platform index (choice is either 0 or 1, AFAIK), but xmr-stak generally picks the correct one if you let it.

Also, you were asked to specify your card but all you replied was, "AMD Radeon" - at risk of pointing out the obvious, that is not a specific card...


1075  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: XMR Stak miner 2.2.0 with colorscheme, inline shares + total hasrate, 0% dev fee on: February 23, 2018, 12:33:56 PM
@MagicSmoker

I do understand that nvidia & amd is different, the question is what do you "tweek" to display the Hashrate?
I did modify some values in the amd.txt file but Hashrate is still not displaying.

Thx

Look for the parameter in the main config file (config.txt by default) called:

"verbose_level" : 3,

and change the 3 to a 4. That will print out a hashrate report every 60 seconds.

1076  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: NPlusMiner - Pool/Algo switching miner with Plus logic (NVidia) on: February 23, 2018, 12:08:29 PM
Suggestions:

1. StartEarningsTracker.bat should get its parameters from the Start[pool].bat file, and not have to be separately specified. This makes it easier to switch between pools.

2. Use a fixed name for the main NPlusMiner PS1 script rather than one that changes with each version so that the same Start[pool.bat files can be used from version to version without modification. If parameter and/or miner selection changes in a version then simply warn us about it in the readme or let us suffer the consequences.

3. v1.3 failed sometime last night because of a missing dll, no doubt as a result of me simply copying the bin directory over from one version to the next, and the NPlusMiner script basically sat there doing nothing for several hours once again (this never seems to happen while I am awake, I notice...). There really needs to be some monitoring of the miners and a way to mark miners/algos/ports as inoperative and skip over them rather than get stuck.

Otherwise, I still like the progress being made and that is why I have spent many hours installing and testing each version as it is released.

Is it vaible to have a "deposits" option like XDN has? It pays you for having coins deposited like some kind of strange yet useful PoS.

You seem to be fixated on earning interest from your (shit-)coin and trying to get DERO to be something it isn't; might I suggest Bitbeans (BITB)/Beancash (BEAN) or Trezarcoin (TZC) instead?



Be nice. Smiley

That *is* nice for me... Also, I actually have 2500 of Bitbean and have mined >800 and counting of Trezarcoin, so I wasn't recommending anything I didn't find at least marginally worthwhile myself.


That is a completely counter-productive attitude.

Perhaps, but I take the rather reasonable position that no one coin can be all things to all people. DERO already has an interesting set of features that make it a promising prospect - not least of which is a dev who is active here - so why saddle on more crap like masternodes?

The point of my previous rebuttal was quite simple: invest in a variety of coins that serve different functions or market niches. In other words, don't ask Satoshi - if you can even find him/her - to implement smart, anonymous contracts on the BTC blockchain.

I think DERO has real promise, but I am also sanguine about this nascent crypto market with its menagerie of >1000 coins; one might even say a little cynical, due in no small part to my experience actively trading stocks/options during the dotcom bubble... and bust. For every Amazon.com there were a hundred webvan and pets.com and other ill-fated dotbombs.

Mind you, I've not only pointed a majority of my Cryptonight hashrate at DERO for most of the last 2 months, I've even been buying more GPUs specifically for it, but I am not allocating /every/ GPU and CPU I have at mining DERO because I never go all in on one bet.

I direct you back to msg #2481 where you basically said that it might not be a good idea to put a staking estimator/calculator in the wallet because it might confuse people or make them think they were entitled to a certain reward, etc. I may have employed a bit of hyperbole in my previous post when I characterized this as essentially calling your clients/customers/users stupid, but it's not too far off the mark.

With all due respect, I strongly disagree with that assertion--I do not believe it is anywhere near the mark.
IMO, looking out for customers/clients and trying to make things intuitive or easy for them to use is NOT at all the same thing as saying or believing they are "too stupid to understand"... Extending that logic to the consumer/retail world would mean companies like Apple that distinguish themselves by creating easier to use, intuitive products are, likewise, insisting their customers are "too stupid". Although I personally do not care for Apple, I find that assertion ill-fitting and at best misleading.

We seem to be veering off into the weeds here, and I suspect you are taking my insouciant style a little too seriously. I am merely trying to emphasize that the wallet for a PoS coin absolutely needs to provide an estimate of the time to find a block from staking. It's basically a core function of a PoS wallet, the way I see it.

EDIT - so I just found this document on setting up the Linux wallet for staking and something in it really tweaked my knobs:

Quote
If you send a transaction from a staking wallet, every input time will reset to 0. So you should have a regular wallet
and a PoS one (you can follow the Local Wallet + PoS Headless Wallet on VPS for setting up such confguration).
...

No, if you send any coins from an input (i.e., consume that input), then all the coins IN THAT ONE INPUT are reset.
Either the author you quoted choose poor phrasing to communicate a point, or misunderstood how inputs/UTXO get reset when consumed.

Rest assured, you do not need to worry about other coins in the same address or elsewhere in your wallet getting their ages reset.  Smiley

Okay, well, what is an input and which coins are assigned to it?

NB - I have the whitepaper pulled up now and can see what an input is, but the wallet does not tell me this, nor does it allow me to chose to send my newest coins should I wish to conduct a transaction.
