path is irrelevant TBH. Batch files are originally meant to be in their home directory and executed as such (typically) originally for being able to execute a common set of commands.. I try to stay as close to the system level and as simple as possible to keep things reliable and easy for the laymen to use/modify.... also less folders, less stress on the partition table, and etc... many reasons.
If you wish to run it from a location, just make a shortcut by right click drag and make a shortcut. I use a shortcut to the batch in my startup folder. works fine, no path required. it adds more mess TBH, and its less versatile as you would need to edit it if you change a filename or directory structure. Plus, why would you want a million directories when you can just drop the updated executable in the folder and update the batch with just a version number change on the filename.
The 'tasks' do not have the same name; they have the same executable name. The quoted algo name while using the "start" command is specifically to title the windows for each algo.
If i did it your way I would have to create a special pointer for each algo, which would just be a placeholder for the algo name. Seems utterly convoluted to create a variable per algo. Too much mess. If I created a lookup table from a TXT file, that would be OK, but I would need to code a program to do that, and that's going too far away from the concept behind this batch considering I am trying to avoid using anything 3rd party.
Yes they may all have the same filename, but you are trying to add definition to which one is running...... and in that its making the batch less universal. It works fine in this manner because it isn't looping multiple code segments, but the loop is just looking for a program in memory continuously... IF I added up all the code to accomplish your method the code would probably equal 2x the characters of the loop being used.... which actually becomes more chars by your method...
But i've already made it super easy to know which is running just by hovering over the window or taskbar.... so I don't think ill implement path into any of my scripts as the only file changing between versions is the EXE file. Its much simpler code wise to just look for each program that can be in memory one after another and re-loop once all versions are closed.
If I got out borland and did code an app, i honestly would have it poop out almost the same code I have above.... It's been a LONG time since I have coded a TSR dos program. But i'd give it a fancy ANSI interface that you could use the arrow keys and navigate fields and edit the data in real-time etc... But I don't see this happening.
I always unzip the new miner app, then append the version number to filename, then I copy to my current miner directory and update my batch.
One of us is not understanding. If you know what you are doing then fine but some of your response suggests otherwise. My changes should work as is for you, I don't know why you believe it's so complicated. Special pointers? TSR? You've lost me. I have been doing something similar for over a year (monitoring miner tasks), it's just that all my executables already had the same name so I didn't have to rename them. You said "The 'tasks' do not have the same name; they have the same executable name." What's the diffreence? Doesn't tasklist /FI IMAGENAME return the file name of the executable? Shortcuts wouldn't solve the problem because it would hide the taskname from the batch script, that is the opposite of what I want to do. How would the task then be monitored? I don't see the relevance of the Window title or how my chnages affect your use of it. You say I'm trying to add definition as to which one is running. On the contrary I'm trying to abstract it so the task monitor doesn't have to to pick the taskname based on the algo, they are all the same. I agree that it would make the script less universal but when you consider that with your implementation a user would have to ensure all executables and the batch file are in the same dir. With my changes a user would only have to define variables for each path. It doesn't have to be done by editting the file, shell variables will do. |

I'm hoping something gets done about the TD list soon. I have over 170 and it's impossible to manage
them with no way to sort.
Yeah this needs to be done sooner rather than later imo. My wallet is a damn mess in terms of term deposits and it's very frustrating that the list isn't sortable. While on this topic it would also be nice to have more TD options like setting the target block maturation. I would also be nice to display the maturation block and date in the TD confirmation dialogue. What would be the benefit of being able to set the target maturation block? You can already set the deposit duration in number of blocks. Same question for displaying the maturation block and date..the confirmation dialogue already shows how many blocks and roughly how many days the deposit is for. It requires extra math that users shouldn't be burdoned with. Why should I have to pull out a callendar to figure out how many days until my target date when the wallet can do it so easilly? Same with blocks, the math may be simpler but still unnecessary. |

I don't use this method but I looked at the script to see how it works. I believe it is more complicated than necessary. You have a two stage loop that appears to be used to support two executables. Each miner has a different taskname so you had to handle them seperately hence the two stage loop. That algorithm doesn't scale well if you need more diffrerent miners for different algos. I suggest you rename all the executables with the same name but in different directories. That way when you start the miners you specify the path to the miner for a given algo but when it's time to monitor the tasks they all have the same name. As long as the taskname is the same as the executable this should work. Here's a snippet of code to illustrate: set CCMINER=ccminer.exe
set CCMINER_DEFAULT=\path\to\default\%CCMINER%
set CCMINER_EVO=\path\to\evo\%CCMINER%
...
start "SIB" /min %CCMINER_DEFAULT% -r 0 -a sib -i 15 -o %POOL%:5033 -u %ADDY% -p %PASS%
start "X11EVO" /min %CCMINER_EVO% -r 0 -a x11evo -o %POOL%:3553 -u %ADDY% -p c=BTC,neoscrypt=0.378,x14=7.0,x15=5.6,x17=5.2,nist5=8.0,x11evo=8.2,blake2s=1.2,skein=293.0,sib=1.1,c11=8.8,stats
echo Waiting for %CCMINER% to close...
:wait1
FOR /F %%x IN ('tasklist /NH /FI "IMAGENAME eq %CCMINER%"') goto wait1
goto start
Do the miners allow their executable to be renamed? It's just a file name. As long as the name in the tasklist matches the file name it should work. Most should aready be called ccminer.exe, they might have been changed by JK to implement his scrypt. |

I think these X11 miners were all scams pretty much. The hashrate went up almost 100% in the last 2 weeks. They were suppose to not produce anymore but they keep making them.
I wouldn't necessarily call it a scam and I think someone would have to be a little naive to believe they would limit the supply. Furthrmore now that the genie is out of the bottle anyone can build x11 ASIC miners, so it would be stupid of Pinidea to just give up the market. The dramatic drop in x11 profitability will be a bigger factor in the decision to build more. |

I just have to LOL on compiling ccminer. If you can't compile it, you are just lazy imo. It is so easy.
Maybe you could try compiling without source code to see how easy it is. Or maybe you could post something in context with the recent discussion, which was about the availability, or lack, of source code. If people who don't know how to compile are lazy what does a post like yours make you? I could answer that but I'm not into name calling. |

My private kernals are running fine on linux. You just need to setup wine.. If you don't know how to do it. Use windows.
With Wine, what would you need to install extra software or is it just the latest version and run the exe through Wine? Have a really tiny SSD on my Nvidia rig and Windows 7 takes up nearly 50GB. Nothing special, just use wine or wineconsole from a shell. You get full speed. |

Forget trying to convert PCI to PCIe. Given the slots are recongized by the OS and assuming no HW faults in the bridge or riser, power seems the most likely problem. You must use powered risers. The host x1 slot may be limited to 25W where x16 can supply 75W. Even if the slot does support 75W that has to be shared with all three slots on the bridge. You could try connecting the card directly to the MB and then through the riser to troubleshoot any potential HW issues with the card or riser. |

Get real, no-one can ever say, what SP_ has done is "Greed", he made a small margin profit on doing some research and lots of coding work.
Whether it's greed is irrelevent, it's just my opinion. It's what he is doing now that is the problem. What he did in the past was good. What he is doing now is not. He can do whatever he likes with his code, that is his right. But he has no right to publish binaries of modified open source code without making his source modifications public. |
|
|
|
PUBLISH ON REQUEST WITH A FEE--
He does not have to toss his code to the digital waves. He is allowed to ask for a fee for the code, and to publish only on request.
He can charge for a binary, and charge another fee for the code, on request. That allows for a delay in release of the code, to prevent instant cloning of his work. He does do assembly modifications to existing code. That is his "art".
--scryptr
He was asked by a major donor who doesn't use Windows and refused. |

You are right about the license.
But others have a point with sp_ having really helped small miners to stay onboard.
That was in the past, and I recognize that. The problems started when he stopped publishing his changes to open source code. And if you look deeper many of the optimizations in his fork were developped by others as open source yet I don't see him kicking back any of his "donations" to them. Greed seems to be his current motivation but he's still not satisfied so he's quitting. That doesn't help anyone. |

Look at Gensis Mining?
Their coders wrote a Ethereum program called Enigma, which gives a significant boost to hash output - no-one is hate posting on their thread for them to opensource Enigma.
They've kept is completely secret; you can bet there are pieces of opensource coding in it.
SP_ was getting £16 donations in 2015, for a windows compiled version of ccminer, with tweaks and optimisations for small miners who cannot code and cannot compile from source.
People are being way to harsh on this thread to SP_
You are completely missing the point. Your example is the right way to do it. Presumably they did not use any open source, Their code is all proprietary so they are not obliged to publish it. SP is using open source code made by others adding a little bit of his own then not publishing the source. It has nothing to do with charging for it, it's all about how you use someone else's code in your product. See the difference? |

I am not selling anything. I gave away a faster lyra2v2 kernal for free to my donators.
Semantics The Nichash opensource is +100%. When you opensource something you should expect that somebody else fork and optimize your work.
Correct. If not you should spread the binary..
That's where you're wrong. If you used open source to build your binary you must publish all the source used. It doesn't matter if your charge for the binary or distribute it only to donators or give it away free, if it contains open source code then any code you add is also open source and must be published. |

Does it really matter that much, that SP_ made some BTC when BTC was at a very low price Fiat Currency price, he sold compiled Window versions of the software to people who cannot compile from source, he develop original mining software for many algos and when he get's drunk on this thread his post are a really funny.
NO. What matters is he is selling binaries built from open source without publishing the source code, in violation of the GPL. It would be a violation even if he was not charging for the binaries, but withholding the source code is a deliberate attempt to keep his changes closed. Providing only binaries is not a service it is a restriction. With the exception of Spreadx11 he did not develop many algos, he simply optimized them. Many of the optimizations he takes credit for were produced by other developpers. He did a lot of good work and as long as he was keeping it open it didn't matter that he was taking more credit than he deserved. It was only after he started trying to profit from other's work without publishing his code that people started complaining. And the latest stunt with Nicehash Miner is a perfect example. |

Whats the difference between 1580r10 and 176r5 ? Is there way to read about changes between versions? For starters I presume one is based off SP the other TPruvot. I would also guess they are similarly optimized rfrom different bases. This is great news considering SP is burned out. A big thank you to Nanashi San and Nicehash. I agree with Nicehash's disappointment with SP trying to sell free code. It is also technically a violation of the GPL to sell tainted code without the source. Adding another 10% to a 100% free speedup then charging for it is pure and simple greed. |

i also having same issue after configuring the miner bat file and run it, it will be close automatically
can you guide me how to set up properly? thank you so much good luck espers.
Forget bat files and use your keyboard. |

I tried, but it throws an error once it starts, and program closes.. If you provide more info someone might be able to solve your problem. From your brief description it seems like you have an older cpu and are using the wrong executable. |
