261  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: WeMo Switch, Remotely booting, Wake-On-LAN etc. on: September 14, 2017, 12:38:24 AM
I've got a WeMo Insight: http://www.belkin.com/us/p/P-F7C029/ which is cool cause it's got an app that shows wattage & even has an API I can use in conjunction with others to calculate all kinds of ratios/stats. Only problem is it only shows wattage over local wifi, but that's another problem all together.

What I'm really looking to do is, say that my rig locks up for whatever reason, maybe I have a slightly unstable OC etc. I get a notification that the worker is down & then I simply turn off the WeMo switch, turn it back on & then use WOL(ethtools) to tell it to boot back up. Seems simple enough.. Actually it would be even simpler if my motherboard(ASRock H110 Pro BTC+) supported Power Recovery where it'd just power back up after turning the switch back on but I don't think it does(please correct me if possible) :/

Anyway. I'd really like to get your thoughts/ideas on this. What do you do & how would you suggest setting this up where I could reboot my rigs from 3 states away in the event that SSH is unresponsive? I could figure something out but I'm assuming those with more experience than I may have a even better solution.

Thanks!

I use my insights as you propose.

My method is:
ethmonitoring.com sends alerts to rigs misbehaving (but you could use another app or pool alerts)
try to access via vnc (because i'm using windows, ssh/teamviewer are alternatives)
if it's not responding cycle power with the wemo app
bios is set to always power on
miner app runs on startup

Re: BIOS power up state:
It's for a different model Asrock but I'd be surprised if they removed it from a mining mobo?!:
Quote
in your asrock bios menu, go to Advanced => Chipset configuration. there you find it. "Restore on AC/Power Loss" change that to "power on" or
whatever it says regarding turning back on or booting etc. this reboots automatically on powerfailure.

Re: only able to view energy use locally:
Not sure what's up with your setup? I can view energy use from anywhere with the wemo app. If you setup a VPN server (some routers can run one or you could use a raspberry pi / an always on machine which isn't mining) then you can connect to that and the wemo app will think it's local.

Also if you're into scripting and get VPN setup then you might find this interesting, you could remove the need for the belkin app entirely https://ouimeaux.readthedocs.io/en/latest/installation.html

You still need a regular PSU to power the motherboard, CPU etc though.

Not true. Some server PSUs already come with the 24-pin atx power cable and 6-pin cpu power. Actually, most server PSUs sold for mining already include this, you just need to find the right one that matches your power consumption. But definitely go and aim for server PSUs if youre in this for the long run. Server PSUs are cheaper in terms of SRP and have better power efficiency (most are rated 80+ platinum).

Like these from the same supplier even: http://www.parallelminer.com/product/160watt-24pin-atx-power-module-included-sata-molex-cpu-power-connectors-bypass-your-atx-power-supply-entirely/ They do a 180W but these do the trick for my rigs.

265  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Sixth alt coin thread I forgot to mod last thread. on: September 05, 2017, 11:21:57 PM

Any recommendation on PSU for 6x 1080 ti?
at least 2 x Modular Gold or Platinum 850W from eVGA, Corsair, Seasonic, Thermaltake, Rosewill + add2psu wire type


 I'd go with at LEAST a 1000 or perhaps an 1100 (3 cards + MB + HD + etc) and at least an 850 but preferably another 1000 (other 3 cards) - TDP on the 1080ti starts at 250, and I suspect there is SOMEONE out there that has even higher from the factory.
 Keep in mind that TDP is a TARGET, the card can AND WILL exceed it momentarily at times when the load level shifts.

 I'd EXPECT occasional issues from running JUST 3 cards on an 850, that's VERY little room for spike handling, unless they are going to be significantly reduced TDP all the time.

 An 850 is NOT going to be enough to run 3 cards AND the CPU/RAM/Motherboard/HD unless the GPUs are VERY MUCH REDUCED on TDP, and it's going to be iffy even THEN.



 A 2400 watt server PSU would be plenty, presuming it has all the ATX connections you need to run the MB with AND enough PCI-E and "riser power" connectors - AND presuming you have 220 volts to run it on.



I have 220v setup

whats your opinion on gold vs plat -- my electric bill is the bane of my existence lol

I've found the cards run well @ 200 watts on nvOC -- but if you think there's a better efficiency sweet spot i'm all ears!

http://www.parallelminer.com/product/power-supply-kit-for-3-antminer-l3-plus-litecoin-miners-ltc-94-platinum-high-efficiency-200-240v/

Also this PSU example only has 6 pins, but I need 8 pins ?

Is there a setting to disable that in the GPU?

pretty cool mobo adapter if you guys havent seen this already
http://www.parallelminer.com/product/180watt-max-24pin-atx-power-module-included-sata-molex-cpu-power-connectors-ditch-your-atx-power-supply-entirely/


+ I'm swamped and have been swamped with DIY projects I'm looking to just buy a solid gpu frame or case lol xD they seem relatively similar on ebay . . + around 150 which seems a bit high for what you get . . imo

I'd recommend those platinum server PSUs

This one comes with 6+2 pins at the card end of the cables http://www.parallelminer.com/product/2400-watt-power-supply-kit-for-gpu-mining-94-efficiency-200-240v-up-to-24-gpu

After testing on one rig I'm ordering another 4. Here's my two cents:

Pros:
Good value compared to decent 1000W+ ATX PSUs (in my region at least)
Lots of power overhead
Which also means you should be operating in the efficiency sweet spot
Run risers from a PCIE cable and drop the SATA-PCIE adapters
Compact size and the breakout board keeps the cabling tidy

Cons:
The small stacked fans are VERY loud if it gets hot. My rigs draw ~1100W and at 20˚C ambient it doesn't get loud at all.
Shorter warranty. But I trust server quality gear and will order a spare to have on hand.

If I was being picky:
The ATX replacement module has a screw on barrel plug on the PCIE cable which is a bit fiddly. Probably best to solder it together permanently.
The only C19 power cable I could easily source was more expensive than a regular kettle cord and had a 15A plug so I needed to change that to fit a domestic 10A socket. Both no big deal but a little more work if you were setting up lots of rigs.
266  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Motherboards Selection - Please Guide on: September 05, 2017, 11:08:01 AM

AsRock H81 Pro BTC R2  -  Have been using them, but the only issue i faced its a bit OLD model.. and just supports 6 GPU (i am fine with 6 too). But is being OLD model motherboard a problem for Long run?
AsRock H110 Pro BTC  - Looks good... but many have faced issues due to very close risers.. Also you can just run 8 NVIDIA or 8 AMD and rest other Chipset.. if running on Windows.. is it ?


 The spacing on these boards should be IDENTICAL.

 Slot spacing is part of the ATX specification.


Hmmm… I think this is the ASRock blueprint for the H110 mobo

Hi guys, I'm looking at getting the Gigabyte 1060 Gaming (GV-N1060G1-GAMING-3GD) but only the 3GB version.

Is there a diff in the hashrate of the 3gb and 6gb 1060's? I know about the possible DAG limit in the future, I'll just mine other coins then. For now I just want to know what hash rate can be achieved with this card?

Its more than half the price of 1070's where I live, but does produce more than half the hashing power...?


My 1060 3gbs get ~280sol/s ZEC or ~22MH/s ETH. My 1070s get ~450sol/s or ~30MH/s. So something like 60-70% of the hashing power for half the price!

The only reason I have the 1070s is they were more affordable when I setup my first rigs. Otherwise I'd be all 1060s.

Not sure about the diff between 3gb & 6gb though.

HI GUYS,

 I need help !!!

CLAYMORE V9.8 mining ethereum

I am using ZOTAC GTX 1070 MINI GPU , with Intel pentium G4400 CPU, 4 GB DDR4 ram, 1500 Watt PSU silver edition

WIN 10 Verision 1703 , NVIDIVA Driver verision 385.41

everything works fine for 5 GPU, and basic hashrate 26 Mh/Sec and after MSI afterburner overclocking 30-31Mh/sec

PROBLEM :

when I add the 6th Card..  it runs for 3-5 mins and restarts windows ... it is like loop .

---
I even tried BIOS motherboard H110-D3A Gigabyte enabling 4G encoding.


still, it crashes and restart.

how to fix this issue..

any help... I even checked PCI riser cables .. unpluged and re plugged..

how to make 6th card working without crashing windows



Sounds like your psu is being overloaded by that 6th card.

I run 7x 1070 ITX stable on 1200W PSUs so 1500W should be heaps. As an aside I'd look at at least a gold quality PSU if you can swing it. Unless you have cheap power.

Check your BIOS version. Looks like it should be F23a which was relased in July https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-H110-D3A-rev-10#support-dl

Install the latest nvidia driver. The advice to use a particular version is out of date.

Don't OC until you get them all running to remove that as a factor.

If it's still resetting try a fresh install of Windows from scratch.

is your tool fully automated, like is it recognizing the controller and using the correct registers, or you still have to do this by hand editing ?

The wolfamdvolt/ohgodavolt? Full automation - it dynamically opens up the I2C interface of each GPU and runs a detect function for every supported VRM, which will find it if it's there. Once found, that VRM's functions are used to get/set shit as requested.

that is awesome  Cool

Designing a rackable 4u mining case right now that's intended to use the Delta DPS-2400AB PSU + its breakout board but i can't find any dimensions by googling around. Was wondering if someone who owns that PSU could help me out by supplying all the dimensions for the PSU and breakout board separately, along with the mounting holes if possible.

Thanks,

273  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0018 on: August 26, 2017, 07:59:01 AM
Hi all,

Has anyone incorporated ethminer 0.11.0 into this nvOC release? I managed to download it and can get it to run, but have been having the hardest time getting any results. I am running all GTX 1060 6GB cards (13 per rig), but am still getting about 21.5 Mh/s with mem OC.

I may not be the most adept at editing the 1bash though, and was having a difficult time finding a list of the flags (ethminer --help told me that ethminer wasn't a valid program).

Any thoughts?

U dont have to put any miner os nvOC, miner is in nvOC. For eth u can use genoil as far i know is the one u can grab more mh/s per gpu
Copy past your 1bash file ( only the first part ) here and i will help you Wink

Thank you. My apologies if I was not clear. I have been able to use the Genoil already in nvOC 18 (it automatically executes through my editing of 1bash). I have also managed to successfully download the later version of ethminer, which is supposed to get more Mh/s for GTX 1060 cards (which I have). The challenges I have are:
- These use different flags for the optimization.
- I cannot find a list of the flags, and going to the ethminer directory and typing "ethminer --help" tells me that ethminer is not a program (even though I can definitely get 0.11.0 to execute when pointing to it in 1bash, or simply dropping the new ethminer into the Genoil-U folder).

So really, I am hoping to find if anyone has had success configuring this later miner version and gotten the increased performance.

Any help would be awesome.

Adding the new ethminer with individual GPU output has already been requested by another member.  I will compile it (probably) tomorrow and tell you how it does / upload the files.

In the meantime:

On the ethminer executable you copied to the Genoil-U directory, open guake and type:

Code:
chmod 755 

with a space after 755 then drag the ethminer executable you copied to the Genoil-U directory to the guake terminal and let go.  It should add an absolute path to it after the chmod 755

press enter then try running ethminer again.

Thank you! I will try that this evening and share anything worthwhile that I learn.

As a follow up, I just tried this and unfortunately the result is the same:
--
m1@m1-desktop:~/eth/Genoil-U$ ls
ethminer
m1@m1-desktop:~/eth/Genoil-U$ chmod 755 '/home/m1/eth/Genoil-U/ethminer'
m1@m1-desktop:~/eth/Genoil-U$ ethminer
ethminer: command not found
--

I tried removing the single quotes as well, but same result.

Have you tried this?

Right click the ethminer; properties; go to permissions tab and check the tick box which precisely says 'allow to execute the file's and try then?

Yes - great idea, but I tried that too.

Try the edited bit now please

EDIT:

Have you tried this?

./ethminer --help (make sure you are in the same directory)

If still doesn't work, please post a screenshot of the folder with its contents

I have - that is ultimately what I am truly trying to solve for, as 1bash can execute this, but I wanted to run the --help to see the flags for the optimizations (and then figure out how to fold them back into 1bash).

Not much to see in the screenshot, but I will share as soon as I figure out how to create one (or where to paste/save).

TLDR; as suggested when you are in that directory you should try adding DOT SLASH before the ethminer command e.g.
Code:
./ethminer --help

Otherwise maybe a bit of linux 101 is in order?

If you want to run a binary in a specific directory you have to use either the full directory path to that binary or be in that directory and run ./<command> (which just means 'this directory'/<command>)

e.g. for this case run:
Code:
/home/m1/eth/Genoil-U/ethminer
or
Code:
cd /home/m1/eth/Genoil-U/
then
Code:
./ethminer

(I don't have a running instance of nvoc at hand to confirm so I'm assuming this is the correct directory from your post)

Why?

If you run a command without a path specified e.g.
Code:
ethminer
then linux looks for a command with that name in the directories it knows are used for storing the binaries for commands. These are set in the $PATH system configuration file. You can view that by running  
Code:
echo $PATH
which returns something like
Code:
/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin


So in the background if you type a command, in this case
Code:
ethminer
, the system will check to see if that exists at:
Code:
/sbin/ethminer
/bin/ethminer
/usr/sbin/ethminer
/usr/bin/ethminer
/usr/local/sbin/ethminer
/usr/local/bin/ethminer

Of course that doesn't include '/home/m1/eth/Genoil-U/ethminer' so you get the command not found error.

If linux didn't have a set list of places to look for commands this way it would have to try every file on the computer to see if it matched what you typed and if it was a command.

One way to check if a command is 'installed' to work anywhere is with the 'which' command. e.g.
Code:
which ls
returns
Code:
/bin/ls
So when you run 'ls' anywhere the system knows that you actually want to run a command binary located at '/bin/ls' not some random file called 'ls' in your current directory.

Yeah, but I have no controll over downloads.

? just ONLY download form their official repo at: https://github.com/lbryio
you can get the app from: https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-app/releases and MD5 check it yourself
honestly your not gonna get much more safer than that, other then just NOT using their APP at all Cheesy


I think he is worried about downloding files with virus on LBRY. It is true, someone could upload a virus just like to any other site. This is more prevalent on Windows. To protect yourself, you should always use Virus and Malware Protection.
But here is the case that most of these files are detected as virus or malware in windows.
So in which case, what should we do, delete or keep?

I think you're confusing the client app and the files you download with it. You are completely safe using the LBRY app if it is downloaded from Github.

Then it is up to you to decide on anything you download through the client app. If you are downloading video, audio, ebooks with known file types then you should be fine. If you are paranoid run any download through your AV software before opening it.

Or run linux or osx (sorry had to say Wink)

Thanks for the small laugh, you two - seriously. I'm swamped with shit atm, and no matter how much I have on my plate from other sources, I still need to keep the queue of VBIOS work requests moving... and that's ignoring real life! I hate to turn down work, really, I do - but sometimes I just can't take the time to deal with someone who has no clue what they want/need, nor what is offered... (even when my owner kindly set up a page I can direct them to ( http://ohgodagirl.com/vbios ) they STILL apparently either don't read it, or just don't get it at times... and then if they finally get to the stage where the actual mods required are about to be pushed to my work queue... they want to haggle over pricing. While BTC did skyrocket - the current pricing (which was meant to be temporary) is still in effect (ignore the expiration date posted; needs an update to the page) because of BTC's insane rise. So the prices actually haven't changed much since then - yet you still hear "Well, with BTC having gone up so much..."

Shit. I'm rambling instead of clearing work from my queue. But yeah. Feeling a little pressure.
