Anyone using the dstm miner with HIVE OS?

If so, were you able to fix the error messages that were introduced when HIVE was updated to begin using version 0.6?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2021765.msg31970568#msg31970568

Thanks!

I was curious if anyone is using HIVE OS with DSTM?  Ever since HIVE OS was upgraded to DSTM v0.6 I started getting the following errors every time I start the miner on each rig (like after a HIVE OS upgrade, or applying any OC setting changes):



My wallet settings for DSTM are the same as they have always been:



Most of the time dstm starts up fine and begins mining: (although I do get the warning message as you can see)



But sometimes I get this:



And it just keeps looping through that until I do a "miner stop" and "miner start" from an ssh session into the rig having the issue.

Here's the miner config that HIVE OS generates:



Any ideas what I need to change to correct the issue?

Thanks!

I suspect the Ethernet port above the USB thumb drive is the IPMI port.  That's for management.  Try one of the other 2 ports next to the VGA connector.

Grabbed a few L3's

With the 200 dollar coupon  1296 price is pretty good.

I got 4 $100 coupons.  It seems that I'm only able to apply 1 per L3.  Is that right?  Still, $1,296 isn't bad per L3!

Well, here's a rig identical to the first one, except the GPU's are EVGA 1080Ti SC's instead of SC2's:



Note how on this rig the 6th GPU is a little lower than the rest.  I consider that within normal variances.

I see similar variances across my other rigs:

I have several rigs running Asus Prime Z270-A with 9 GPUs with no issues with low hash rates. Here's one of them:

ah you mean the estimates are too low ? I'll check that

Yep, they appear to be low by a factor of 100.  I started mining on suprnova about 3 hours ago and my balance (still unconfirmed) is a little over 0.13 now.  So that translates to a little over 1.0 /day. 
228  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] [BTCP] BitcoinPrivate: A Truly Private Bitcoin [Equihash] on: March 04, 2018, 02:03:55 PM
I was mining ZCL on MPH before the fork with about 40 kSol.  I was doing about 1.4 ZCL per day, which worked to about $200/day up until the fork which is when I stopped mining ZCL.

I switched to suprnova with the same 40 kSol today, and it looks like I'll only be able to do about 0.01 BTCP with that based on what miners with about twice my hashing power are doing:



So how come 40 kSol earns an abysmal 0.01 BTCP?  I mean, I can do about 0.025 BTC a day on NiceHash with 40 kSol.

Unless BTCP hits the ground running at 2.5 times the value of BTC, I'd earn way less mining BTCP compared to just about any other Equihash coin.

What am I missing?  Is the suprnova chart wrong?  It must be, right?

EDIT:  Yes, that suprnova chart is way wrong.  After 30 mins, these are my stats:



So it looks like I'll do about 1.3 BTCP / day, so about what I would expect.

Last upgrade is an Image upgrade?  what is the difference?  We have to DL and install from scratch?

You can update straight in Hiveos it will show that there is an update when you restart and you type the command and it starts to autoupdate.
can't remember the command but it tells you what to type .

If you don't use the latest image, you don't get the latest video drives.  At least that was my experience doing it from the "dashboard".  And yes, I did reboot the rig afterwards.  Once I did it via an image I did have the latest Nvidia video driver (390.25).  Doing a fresh image is super easy.  Just download the image, throw it on a fresh SSD (or USB if you feel lucky), edit the config file with your rig ID and password.  Shut down rig, swap SSD, boot up.  Done.

I did 11 rigs in less than an hour with new images on each one.

My withdrawal from Bittrex to my Electrum wallet finally went through.  Took a little over 6 hours.
231  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Zclassic, Zcash Fork No Premine, No 20% Founders Tax on: February 27, 2018, 03:02:21 PM
So I'm still waiting on movement on my "tester" ZCL coin I initiated a withdrawal from Bittrex into my Electrum wallet about 5.5 hours ago.  Still just sitting under Pending and Authorized.

As a test, I did a cash out of my ZCL balance on MPH (about 1.5 ZCL) and it was fully confirmed and in my Electrum wallet within about 60 seconds.

So the issue is solely with Bittrex (and some other exchanges) it would appear.
232  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Announcements (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Zclassic, Zcash Fork No Premine, No 20% Founders Tax on: February 27, 2018, 12:15:46 PM
Same here.  Trying to withdraw from Bittrex to Electrum wallet.  Been in pending "Authorized" state for last several hours.

Backblaze 60 drive pod comes to $33.57/tb. The alibaba 36 bay solution is $28.65/tb. Backblaze cost 1.17x per tb, but has 1.67x the density.

If I was going for density, I'd go with a used Supermicro 847.  They make a 36 bay version that will hold a motherboard (same layout as the Alibaba one but much better quality I would imagine) and a 45 bay version that requires an external host.  They can be found for around $500 shipped.  Filling the higher density one with 45 8TB drives @ $160, works out out to $21.39/tb.  So way cheaper than either the Backblaze or Alibaba solutions.

I have used Supermicro chassis' and motherboards for 15+ years and they are rock solid.  They share 3rd place (or 2nd place, depending on how you look at it) in the server market worldwide:

I'm also wondering can I plot on the 20 different PC's then when they are done plotting, add the drives to 1 actual machine I plan mining on, or is it the PC that you pot the drive on, you have to mine on?

I do that all the time, no problem.  Just make sure to use the same ID for all the plots, and that the nonces don't overlap between plots.

I just run a script similar the the one below on any computer where the target drives exists:

Code:
@setlocal
@cd /d %~dp0
start "" /belownormal "C:\Xplotter_AVX2\XPlotter_avx2.exe" -id 2597790682173387743 -sn 10600000001 -n 0 -t 52 -path c:\Burst\plot106 -mem 16G
start "" /belownormal "C:\Xplotter_AVX2\XPlotter_avx2.exe" -id 2597790682173387743 -sn 10700000001 -n 0 -t 52 -path c:\Burst\plot107 -mem 16G
@pause

-id - your numeric account id
-sn - start nounce of the plot
-n - end nounce.  Set it to 0 to fill the disk
-t - CPU treads to use
-path - target drive
-mem - amount of memory to use.  Unlike -t, -mem is allocated to each plotter instance, so the sum of them must be less than your total system RAM

You would of course want to change the -id value to whatever your's is, and the -t thread count and memory to your hardware.  I like to leave at least a couple of threads free for other stuff.
235  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Hive OS - new Linux GPU mining platform on: February 24, 2018, 05:06:49 PM
I think you're right and SSR will indeed work with Hive OS.

Looking at the Linux script, this is all there is to it:

Code:
#!/bin/bash

## REQUIRED packages: socat (apt-get install socat)


## Other Linux Systems than SimpleMining OS - unhash 3 lines below and hash SimpleMiningOS ones
srrEnabled="1"
srrSerial="000055"
srrSlot="1"

## SimpleMining OS ## hash this section if you are using above variables
#CONFIG_FILE="/root/config.txt"
#source $CONFIG_FILE
#srrEnabled=`echo $JSON | jq -r .srrEnabled`
#srrSerial=`echo $JSON | jq -r .srrSerial | xargs`
#srrSlot=`echo $JSON | jq -r .srrSlot | xargs`
#####################

if [ "$srrEnabled" -eq 1  ]; then
    echo "SRR is Enabled"
else
    echo "SRR Not configured. SRR Agent will exit in 120 seconds"
    sleep 120
    exit
fi

################################
## Dont touch anything below :)
srrSlot=`printf %02X $(( ${srrSlot} - 1 ))`
firstByte="FF"
byteCount="0008"
action="55"
mac="485053$srrSerial"

checksum=`printf %02X $(( (0x${byteCount:0:2} + 0x${byteCount:2:2} + 0x$action + 0x${mac:0:2} + 0x${mac:2:2} + 0x${mac:4:2} + 0x${mac:6:2} + 0x${mac:8:2} + 0x${mac:10:2} + 0x$srrSlot)%0x100  ))`
packet="$firstByte$byteCount$action$mac$srrSlot$checksum"

while true
do
    echo "SRR, please dont kill me, i will ask again in 2 seconds $packet"
    echo -n "$packet" | xxd -r -p |socat - UDP-DATAGRAM:255.255.255.255:1051,broadcast > /dev/null
    sleep 2
done

So the script sends keepalive packets to SRR over the LAN, and if the stop coming, it will close the power pins on the mobo.  I guess the only thing that Hive OS won't do, is to be able to show a message that a given rig was reset via SRR.  I guess it will just show the usual "rig rebooted" and the rig will actually end up rebooting, even if frozen.
236  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread! on: February 24, 2018, 02:49:17 PM
Which mobo are you using? Any rig pics? Smiley

My Burst rig consists of 5 Supermicro 846 chassis' which hold 24 disks each.  The master one has a Supermicro X10DRi in it and the 4 slave chassis's just have a small power control board to power on the PSU's.  The fans are all connected to the SAS2 backplanes.

Master chassis internals:





I'm just running 2 16GB DDR4 DIMMs per CPU, so I'm only using 2 of the 4 channels.

There's one LSI 9211-8i HBA with 4x6Gpbs lanes connected to the internal SAS2 expander.  And there are 3 LSI 9200-8e HBA's which each provide 2 4x6Gbps SFF-8088 connectors for connecting external chassis. So I can have a total of 6 external chassis connected at once without resorting to any daisy chaining.  The 5th card on the far right is an Intel X520 dual 10Gb NIC connecting the server to my 10 Gb switch.  There are plenty of PCIe lanes to go around, so each card has 8 at its disposal, so no bottlenecks anywhere from an I/O perspective.

Between the 4 HBA's, I have a total bandwidth of 4x8x6Gbps = 192 Gpbs.  So my theoretical throughput when reading and writing is 24,000 MB/s.  Smiley

View from the front showing the 108 drives (lower 5 chassis) currently installed just starting to scan a new block:



The 2U 12 bay server at the top of the stack is a dedicated plotting rig atm.  It has a single E5-2683 v3 in it and can do about 50,000 nonces/min.  Below that is my media server, which has 24 6TB drives in it arranged as a RAID60 configured as 2 x 12 disk RAID6 arrays.  It is also spotting a 2683 v3 to handle transcoding needs for media clients.
237  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread! on: February 24, 2018, 12:36:06 PM
I'm doing around $17/day right now, but I have had $80 days when I mine a block and/or the coin is valued higher.  It has been above $0.10 recently and will hopefully bounce back.

Average power is a little over 900 watts:



Plus I got a mini split keeping temps in check that consume another 150 watts or so:



So current math does not really show a great return, especially if you were to buy all the hardware from scratch (I had a lot of mine already).  But I have been hodl'ing everything I have mined since last summer and am hoping it will be a good long term investment.  As KaydenC mentioned, if POC goes belly up, all those HD's will still be worth quite a bit.  In my case, I'd keep them for multimedia (already got another 100+ TB server for that).

Anyone in here having setup 6+ GPUs on a riserless mobo with a custom water loop? I suppose that would be a good setup too, you'd need need two 360 rads I suppose to dissipate the heat...

Crazydane did it.

I was going to but decided to go hybrids

I got one rig with 4x MSI 1080Ti's on a custom water loop.  2x 480 rads and 1x 240 rad.  Despite that, I'm still seeing a 11 degree temp differential between ambient and coolant temp, suggesting I'm under radded.  That said, those 4 1080Ti's on water hash like nothing else I got:



Btw, I'm totally hooked on Hive OS as you can probably tell from the above screenshot.  Smiley
239  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Happy New Years! Seventh alt coin thread! on: February 24, 2018, 11:52:16 AM
I stopped gpu expansion for now, it's too difficult to find them at a good price. Even my early jan order of 1070tis from a local supplier has yet to arrive. Right now I'm focused on HDD mining. Takes 16 months to payback HDD mining now, but with new proof of capacity coins coming I believe it's viable. Worst case scenario the $150 8tb drives can be liquidated for $120. HDD is low returns, but low value at risk. Unlike GPUs, where a $400 1060 6gb can drop to $150 in value if things go south.

Took 3 weeks and I have 300tb online. Looks like another 6 weeks to get the full 1pb running. An Rx480 it takes 1 day to get 1 drive plotted and optimized. 1950x can do 2 per day.

For anyone who's interested to do HDD, I recommend NOT going for a threadripper build. Go i7 8700 build instead, no gpu needed. Add another rig when needed. The rig cost per drive is similar, total compute power for plotting is similar too. Also don't be like me, connecting 10 drives per usb 3.0 hub. There's new miner software that can scan a 8tb drive in 17 seconds now, limit to 5 drives to prevent read bottlenecks.

I currently have 417TB online for HDD mining.  Plot speeds are good at around 90,000 nonces/min on a dual E5-2660 V4 rig (paid $350 each for ES versions of those CPUs):



And scan speeds are really good:



Takes around 20 seconds to scan 417TB worth of plots.

Does anyone have experience with using hardware watchdogs with Hive OS?  If so, what are your experiences with them?

I was looking at these:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Watchdog-Computer-Automatic-Restart-Blue-Screen-Mining-Game-Server-BTC-Miner/282777988573?epid=14011629036&hash=item41d6e1addd:g:vVkAAOSwY7taZBI2

It looks like they are supported: (well sort of)

http://forum.hiveos.farm/discussion/175/generic-watchdogs

Based on my limited time with Hive OS, my understanding is that the series of event goes like this:

1. Hashrate watchdog it triggered due to hashrate dropping below set-point
2. Miner restart initiated
3. If miner restart doesn't correct issue, reboot takes place
4. If reboot fails, then hardware watchdog attempts reset
5. If hardware reset fails, then hardware power cycle takes place

But if you have a frozen rig and #2 and #3 don't work, how is Hive OS going to "reach" the USB watchdog to perform either 4 or 5?

Maybe the above is not how it works, and instead the OS on the mining rig sends a keepalive signal to the USB watchdog, and when that fails, a hardware reset is attempted.  And failing that, a power reset is attempted.

Over the years, I have had computers lock up so hard that the only thing that would get them back, was to physically remove power and restore.  I guess a USB watchdog can't do that unless the output from the on-board power relay was driving a much larger external relay that can kill power to the rig.

I know with SMOS, SRR (SimpleRigResetter) is the way to go for hardware watchdog, which gets around the issue of using a USB dongle that might not be reachable if the rig is frozen.  But as far as I know, SSR does not work with Hive OS.   So I was curious what everyone is using with Hive OS.

Thanks!
