281  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0019-1.4 on: November 15, 2017, 06:09:47 PM
wow, what a cool project!!

Sorry to barge in like this.  I am only on page 7 so far and am sure the answer to my question is in the next 273 pages Wink

Is there a way to run a script or is there a list of things to install on an existing Ubuntu LTS?
My rig is our media center and file share server, but would like to add a dozen cards or so (asus mining expert) to do some mining, as it is idle most of the time.

Thanks

I think its easier to reformat your existing ubuntu and install nvOC then install and set samba, nfs,... and any thing else you need for your media center instead of going through installing and setting up nvOC over an existing ubuntu.

I think his request seems quite interesting to me.
By developing an installable package on a stable "normal" ubuntu (I say normal to mean that this system would only be installed from the ISO provided by cannonical), Fullzero's scripts and all the others could be spread on much more mining rig.
I admit that it is also another work a little wider and tedious, but in fine, the nvOC package could thus be deployed much more widely and probably also on debian or probably other systems.

He would thus make a big competition to ethOS which makes pay his scripts, even if the first goal is not this one, that would perhaps make them review their commercial policy that personally, I find doubtful.
It would probably also bring other linuxians (called "bearded"!) :-) in some circles ha ha! ) to help this very active community of this thread to further optimize scripts and mining software.

Start with a package including software and scripts adapted for an ubuntu and then chained with a debian more classic and less heavy IMO, and observe if this package could interest the other communities of the other banks of Linux like RED HAT, Fedora and / or Mint ... etc.

Would not it be judicious also to reserve this distribution Ubuntu to the beginners with Linux because it is necessary to recognize this to him, ubuntu tries then a few years to convert the workstations windows to Linux.
In my country, it has done rather well to the national gendarmerie! A civil branch of the police.

I think it would be interesting to put these scripts on a system less heavy volume in one way or another.

I hope that what I am trying to express is understandable to some of those who have read this post.

I try to read your huge script and i think you're a very experienced scripter. Thank for it.

But i see multiple auto_gram openden when WTM restart 3main at each switching coin. and i get en ps error but i don't know how.
I will post tomorrow in this thread about that

Thx  Tongue. I don't have a nvoc 19+ installed. The script was tested on nvoc 19 stable so I don't know yet how to get it working with WMT switch.
If some one have WMT switch working on Nvoc 19 stable and want to share a how to I'll be happy to modify the script.
Post what you have anyway.


look at this error message i can see on my miner's screen in a guake tab named auto_gram:
Code:
m1@MINER:~$ bash /home/m1/kk003_telegram
error: list of process IDs must follow -p

Usage:
 ps [options]

 Try 'ps --help <simple|list|output|threads|misc|all>'
  or 'ps --help <s|l|o|t|m|a>'
 for additional help text.

For more details see ps(1).

Note : my version is nvOC19-1.4 and i'm using WTM_Switch included in z-papami_WTM folder
283  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0019-1.4 on: November 07, 2017, 11:48:54 PM
That "ps ... " error is probably when miner restart and script cant catch miner up time, you can ignore it.
I changed WTM  auto switch so it dont restart 3main and only start miner, you can test new version in z_papampi_versions

First copy PAPAMPI_WTM,  WTM_AUTO_SWITCH from /home/m1 to a new folder to keep my old version, then copy and replace my versions from  z_papampi_versions to /home/m1/

My new version just restart miner and wdog (to prevent wdog from catching gpu under utilizations) and get faster switch (under 30 seconds with 7 cards)
If you add any new coins or edit miners in 3main you should do the same in wtm-miner,
The new version doesnt work with damNmad OC, so you should disable it.


Done. Thx papami.

1/ Did i could ignore all the tabs auto_gram in guake ?
2/ I replaced all the "
Code:
screen -dmsL
" by
Code:
"screen -dmS"
because i run nvOC with datatravel kingston usb key for now more than  two month. I will réplace it with classic 2.5" HDD soon and réactivate screenlog.o after this replacement.
3/ Is it possible not to kill cpuOPT when you restart your wtm-miner script Huh
I saw this in code :
Code:
#kill miner
pkill -e miner

For now, i disable CPUOPT because it restart to much and its not a good idea to restart xmr_miner.

About xmr_miners. What do you think about adding xmrig and xmr_stack_cpu wxhat i use on some workstation with xeon processor ?

4/ What is the problem with OC_Spécific Settings and how do you do for OC your mémory and GPU cards ? This feature is really great, it is a bad loss can't using it.

NB : I try to write in english directly without translator, so it is possible that we have difficulties to understand us corectly.

Just installed this nvoc on one of my rigs, looks good. So questions though (no, I did not read all the pages..):

- Is there a way to limit telegram messages to be sent only when there is something wrong, i.e. reboot of server or miner is needed ?
- My rig has some stability issues, I am mining Ethereum with ethminer. In order to track the GPUs causing problems they would have to be run as separate instances/sessions, (xmos does this by default). Any plans for implementing such feature? If not maybe I try with claymore or plug in xmos USB stick, adjust overclock settings and copy them to nvOC.

I suggest you to read the notes and comments on /home/m1/kk003_telegram and see if its ok for your needs.
Or you can go here:
https://pastebin.com/vPnb6TKn

and see.

I guess if you leave empty var USER_CUSTOM_TIMES_TO_SEND_TELEGRAM you'll get only warnings (including warnings from IAmNotAJeep_and_Maxximus007_WATCHDOG).

Form:
Code:
USER_CUSTOM_TIMES_TO_SEND_TELEGRAM=("12:00" "18:00" "21:32")

To:
Code:
USER_CUSTOM_TIMES_TO_SEND_TELEGRAM=()

I did not do this check, hope it works for you (I think so).
Let me know if it does not and I'll fix it.

You may too set USER_CUSTOM_TIMES_TO_SEND_TELEGRAM like this:
Code:
USER_CUSTOM_TIMES_TO_SEND_TELEGRAM=("18:00")

to get a telegram once a day at 18:00 (or any other time/s of day you want)

Here is the warnings list (most of them):
Code:
# Some warning you can choose to get via telegram or not 
SEND_WARNING_SYSTEM_RESTARTED="YES" # YES or NO
SEND_WARNING_XORG_RESTARTED="YES"   # YES or NO
SEND_WARNING_LOAD_AVERAGE="YES"     # YES or NO
SEND_WARNING_CHECK_DISPLAY="YES"    # YES or NO
SEND_WARNING_WHEN_NO_L_ON_SCREEN="YES"  # YES or NO     YES send a telegram when screen is not starting miner with -L (create log file)


And some info you may choose to get or not in your telegram msg:
Code:
# some information you can choose to receive or not on your telegram msg
SEND_REBOOT_REQUIRED="YES"      # YES or NO
SEND_WORKERNAME="YES"           # YES or NO

SEND_LOGGED_USERS="YES"         # YES or NO
 
CUSTOMIZE_SYSTEM_NAME=""        # "PRIVATE_IP" or "PUBLIC_IP" or "AnY CusTom nAme you want here", if empty it uses the system's hostname
                    # This is the main header you'll get in your telegram message
                    # PRIVATE_IP will use your private ip/s (remenber you may have more than one)
                    # PUBLIC_IP will use your public ip

Warnings auto-clear when system gets back to normal.

Now I can see PIRL has been listed on whattomine, if you are interested to mine it, please follow the below instructions and add it :

Change the coin first in 1bash

Quote
COIN="PIRL"

If you want to use the below suggested pool, make sure you set this option to 'DOT'

Quote
DOT_POOL_FORMAT_or_FORWARD_SLASH_POOL_FORMAT="DOT"    # DOT  or  SLASH    # formerly ETHERMINEdotORG

Add the PIRL address & pool details in 1bash

Quote
PIRL_WORKER="$WORKERNAME"
PIRL_ADDRESS="yourPirlAddress"
PIRL_POOL="pirl.pool.sexy:6006"


Add this in 3main at right place

Quote
if [ $COIN == "PIRL" ]
then

if [ $ETHMINER_or_GENOIL_or_CLAYMORE == "GENOIL" ]
then
HCD='/home/m1/eth/Genoil-U/ethminer'

PIRLADDR="$PIRL_ADDRESS/$PIRL_WORKER"

if [ $DOT_POOL_FORMAT_or_FORWARD_SLASH_POOL_FORMAT == "DOT" ]
then
PIRLADDR="$PIRL_ADDRESS.$PIRL_WORKER"
fi

screen -dmSL miner $HCD -S $PIRL_POOL -O $PIRLADDR:x -SP 1 -U

if [ $LOCALorREMOTE == "LOCAL" ]
then
screen -r miner

while [ $BITCOIN == "theGROUND" ]
do
sleep 60

Effectively, i see that coin seems to pay 0.0057 BTC a day if i beleive that WTM said a this moment !
But not realyy interesting in WTM_Switching profit if it does'nt pay more than ETH in current profit + current revenue !? Right ?

Tried my best to search for an answer, but no luck so far...

has anyone successfully gotten rid of the login loop issue?

Ive console logged in, did a re-image, tried different versions, and every ubuntu based fix i could find online (clear and .Xauthority fixes)

Board is a HP z400 board

Try this:
press CTRL- ALT- F1 together, terminal window will open. Login as m1, pass miner1

type:
Code:
sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade && sudo reboot

Please reply with results

After login in ssh, try the others commands given in page 246 (dpkg ...)

and try to réinstall latest nvidia drivers with

Code:
sudo apt install nividia-387

or try to install nvOC V0019-1.4

Unfortunately did not get rid of the login loop

Does it go into a loop with -1.4?

No loop for me. I was on 1.3 when i réinstall nvidia-387 driver.

1.4 had some smalls bugs, but i correct when i see them. I don't note them. So sorry.

Off topic, but I think some of you have the answer that I can not find online. Perhaps, I don't make my request correctly ....

That's it, I've now installed nvOC V00019-1.4 and I'm using Papami's WTM_Switch. According to their profitability, I mine HUSH, SEN, and KMD. I mine others, but these three are set by default on Luckpool.org. i have no problem with this pool, but i think i need some explanations. Now, I do not understand or I do not undertsand how to see what I mine on one of these three tokens as long as the system does not undermine them. As soon as the system undermines them again, I can access them again.
Is it because of hybrid PPLNT/PPLNS reward ? if this is the cause of my misunderstanding, i think, i'm not the only, and i suggest it would be more prudent to replace this default pool with another one that does not have this problem.
This at least for those who use profitability switches according to the algorithms? Or at least a small text message from a line about luckpool PPLNT/PPLNS around linked variables.
If I read the definition of PPLNT, it seems to me less profitable than to undermine pools like suprnova at 1% in PPLNS. What do you think ?

Vosk touted last week the merits of luckpool, but he criticize the people just mining for acquiring BTC in other videos. Finally, that's what I understood by watching his chain and videos. So, he criticize all the peoples that undermine on algo-switching like us.
I'm not saying he's wrong or he's right, after all, he's got his opinion that he's built over time, but just that we have to take a closer look at what we're mining and HOW we do it with which pools and payment methods for pools.

This is far from being a small affair !

Does anyone have saw what he was mined on luckpool when the miner does not mine the chosen coins in WTM at the moment you try to know how many you have already mined ?

Sorry for my bad english or using globish by google translate.

Belle envolée depuis le 17 octobre passant de 7 € à 20 €


ah ah très drôle ton pseudo ! Il me semble qu'il a causé en mal des cryptos récemment le bonhomme d'ailleurs.


En revanche, je viens de commencer a miner cette crypto via les scripts de basculement automatique en fonction du profit et de la difficulté  sur nvOC V0019-1.4 (By papami). Son script utilise le site whattomine et les JSON associés (selon votre requête a vous) pour déterminer toutes les 3 minutes l'altcoin le plus profitable a miner et lance le logiciel de minage selon l'algorithme de cet altcoin.

Mon problème ne viens pas de ce script mais du fait que je mine sur Luckpool et que je ne comprend pas comment fonctionne ce pool. J'ai miner plusieurs fois sur leur pool mais je ne vois aucune trace de mes fragment de minage de zencash nullepart. Lorsque je cherche sur mon adresse zencash, je ne trouve rien. Il me dit que le mineur n'est pas en ligne, mais qu'est-ce que ça peut faire  Huh Ce que j'ai déja miné, est bien quelque part !???

Si quelqu'un peut m'expliquer comment fonctionne ce pool, je suis preneur.

NB : je ne suis pas débutant et j'ai déjà miné sur bien d'autres pools comme minningpoolhub ou dwarfpool ou encore suprnova. Leurs interface ne sont pas tjrs conviviales, mais compréhensibles. Chez lockpool, l'interface semble conviviale, mais il semble que les choses ne sotn pas affichées ou expliquées clairement.

Maybe its me but the speeds to download the OS are incredibly slow. I built a torrent and I am seeding it from my server and personal desktop here: https://www.cryptocurrencyfreak.com/2017/10/30/nvoc-mining-os-torrent/

Feel free to help seed!

Is this 1.3 or the name is wrong ?

That torrent really is for the 1.3 image; I think he DL'ed just before fullzero posted 1.4, and then came back to post about the torrent just after fullzero posted.

This one is for the 1.4 image:
http://s000.tinyupload.com/index.php?file_id=00585421597763893895

I've added it in comments on cryptocurrencyfreak 's blog; it's awaiting moderation or for him to notice it here.


Seeding with a gigabit seedbox and a 500 MB 2nd seedbox for the next 7 days.
Enjoy !


AWESOME!  Roll Eyes Thanks!!

Could you please answer a few questions regarding this OS?

- Does nvOC have a "graphic" online interface like SMOS?
- Is it possible to easy install new miners?
- Is there any "hidden" fee for using it?
- Does it have general "quality of life" features, like: restart with auto connect, auto restart miners, ...?
- Does it update (or auto update toggle) video cards / OS?
- Is it possible to enforce overclocking for GPU as soon as the system restarts (auto)?

Thanks!


I think all theses (your) questions could be a good start for little FAQ on this NVOC help page :

How do I enable root access (miner1) in linux? I would like to troubleshoot by editing 1bash without returning to windows.


My error is line 137: 1861 terminated  bash '/home/m1/3main'

There is no need to enable anything. Just ssh to your host and login with user m1 password miner1. This will drop you right into directory /home/m1 where 1bash lives. You can then edit with your favorite editor - e.g., vi 1bash.
vi and vim are hard for windows and new comers to linux better use nano

Code:
nano 1bash

Yes, but, in the same time, they need to learn tu use nano... So, i think, it is better to learn vi now without waiting or facility because vi text editor is installed on any UNIX/ LINUX system. vim is more confortable, but not installed everywhere as vi.

Basis editings and utilizations are easy to use and undertsand for everyone. it's just confusing the first time because all you need is a keybord and not any mouses.

Vi is the best and powerfull text editor that i 'd never seen. Notepad++ is a beautiful toy for a windowsian, but never, never powerful as vi

:-)

Hi,

Is it possible to add ZOIN (ticker ZOI) to nvOC ?

Only mineable with a CPU ... It's an interesting alternative for the "plusCPU".

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2085112.0

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1326803.0

Best regards.

_S_C_

What is the algorythm. Your links dn't said anything about that !  Undecided Huh

What's the best miners softwares ?

Please make us a short summary if you want Fullzero or any coders here add your coins.

Algorithms
Miners :
Pools :
Pools ports :

And any kind of information what you think it will be useful.

You can look a the papami's or damnmad posts when they add coins to 1bash.

Only giving us some links is too short.

Be clear, short and precise, and you will be served.

Wait&See

EDIT :  I loose 10 hours of minning too ...The update come later on my rig. I had to unistall and réinstall latest nvidai drivers.
Code:

sudo apt install nvidia-387

Eveything is Ok now.
Time to correct this problem : 30 min (except the time of 10 hours while my rig don't mine anything).

This is so frustrating, nvOC17 was rock solid and nvOC19 has been a headache like 15 16 18 were

nvOC_17 DL
http://www.mediafire.com/file/oi84ue7e6z9epn9/nvOC_v0017.zip


Can anyone help me add a couple coins to 17 and implement the newer auto fan controller?

nvOC v0019 is stable for me. I didn't have any problem with it.
I never update anything on it. Just save some orginals files in the m1 profile by a tar command copied the tar file to another external disk  or machine. I just modify some parts of MPH_Switch code or parameters and compile the Klaust's miner that finally seems to do its job correctly in MPH switch. In unique minning, klaust's miner seems to dysfunction after thirty minutes but times's intervalls on MPH is rightly 30 min !

I think someones updates their Nvidia driver manually, but i thought that is a bad idea and i didn't make this update. I think this is the explanation of active auto_updaters in their rigs systems.

I think its risky to use beta for mining out of tests.
I let others test the beta versions for me.
I tried with the 19.1-3 version for the WTM_Witch, but after 3 hours lost, I came back to my modified and stable version that I had of course thought to save before rewriting on a 32 Gb USB key
295  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [OS] nvOC easy-to-use Linux Nvidia Mining v0019-1.3 on: October 23, 2017, 08:20:30 AM

It just seems to me that it's easier to keep it all in one place, and just to make it obvious where "Basic" ends and "Advanced" begins.

And again, if CSV or JSON is easier for you to implement than the current text file, by all means, go ahead... it just seems to me that it will not be easier. In fact, I fear that certain coin/pool combinations will require many settings that others don't, which will complicate the implementation and, honestly, may  be what really confuses new people!

Why? Well, imagine you only know of 3 "facts" that go with your mining pool/wallet... and you go to fill in a line on a CSV file with 20 headings... how do you find all that other information?!? Versus finding a section that only asks for the 3 facts you have:

Code:
#ZClassic
ZCL_WORKER=$WORKERNAME
ZCL_ADDRESS="replace_with_your_ZCL_address"
ZCL_POOL="us.zclmine.pro"
ZCL_PORT="9009"

To me, that's much simpler than figuring out what to put in POOL_NAME versus POOL_DNS, and what's my WALLET_PROVIDER_NAME? For advanced users, filling out the sheet may be easier, because we'll understand better which rows need extra information, and which ones don't... but for the new person, every empty slot is another puzzler!

I think that all that leads you to write all this long comment comes from one thing that I remember very well when I installed nvOC for the first time: The lack of documentation simply.

I think we should all give a hand to fullzero to create a web page or a readme.txt file that would explain all the possibilities of the system. i think the claymore dev did it very well and insists heavily on the btctalk thread so that users will read the explanatory note and the various switches associated with its program.

I have some experience with Linux / UNIX, but I remember very well that the first time, I returned to Windows in less than 2 hours! I was in complete fog, and in addition I had defective material (riser of bad quality), I did not understand absolutely why the system restarted and even less how to see if the miner mine or not.

It is absolutely necessary a message indicate in big characters on the screen press F12 access to terminal guake. It faltered a few times before I understood it and I restarted the terminal which i clic several times restarted each time the 1bash

It is therefore clear that the new user must first immediately get his miner to work the first time very easily. Thus, he can continue to dig configuration after that without worriing.

For the CSV, I am convinced that with a good explanatory note of less than 5 lines (not to repel people to read it) it would simplify things, especially for Windows users. Thus, they could feed their file from windows in excel in a very simple way. A few lines of examples (3 maximum), well filled, and well chosen, could clearly facilitate the comprehension and the filling of this file. And I do not know many Windowsian people who do not know how to fill an excel file.
Querying lines and fields in this file may be longer and more complex to do, but in the long run it will allow for a quick and simplified extension of the number of coins to add to the mining capabilities of nvOC or rxOC

In a global way, I think you want to simplify things too much, but the world of cryptocurrency is far from simple. That of UNIX / Linux is not easy or ergonomic either. I find that Fullzero and contributors like papami, damnmad, kk03 ... already simplifies things a lot with his ubuntu reworked by the community scripts. Those who want simpler things can also turn to ETHos and pay for it. And by the way, ETHos is charging for the scripts and nothing else!
Under windows, there is also software that allows the same thing. Some have been quoted in posts on this thread. The choice of Linux is also a personal choice of the difference and complexity / richness of a UNIX system, of the community as well. Has not it always been so Linux?

In the end, it is fullzero who decides because it is him who is the creator and developer of this project. And then, I was simply a proposal, there is nothing concrete for the moment. It's up to him to decide.

Regarding basic vs. advanced 1bash... I'd like to see it broken into three pieces.

  • I would love to see the logical functions in the 1bash; choices of logic and add-ons to use (or not, for basic.) Many of us would largely use the same settings on groups of rigs, but the file necessarily changes with every update.
  • I would love to see the per-GPU and per-coin OC settings broken out into another stand-alone file; these all need to preserved between versions and rebuilds, but are completely unique to each rig. Persistent but local.
  • I would love to see the Addresses, Workers, Pools, Ports section become a stand-alone file; these are all the same on all my rigs, and when I change any, I want to change them on all my rigs. These don't change for rebuilds or for upgrades and need to be copied every time. Persistent and global.

Just a thought.


Yes, I also support this proposal. Very good synthesis readable and understandable.
3 separation would be even better than two.

Indeed, rewriting all these addresses in the 1bash at each update is too time consuming and discourages me from updating every BETA update.
This proposal would probably help me to update more often.

Fullzero is also right in saying that the new user must first be able to start the mining quickly and take the time to dig the advanced features once the rig is started.

There are lots of ways to organize configuration.  The largest problem I have found regarding how the configuration is organized is that some users want more settings and others want less.  It is annoying to update a new version of 1bash with your addresses / pools; especially if you aren't using any of the new features.  At the same time I want to offer as many advanced features as possible.

I do like the idea of being able to export / import ones settings from a csv or json file.  This would greatly simplify the process of updating, which is why I think it will be a good feature to add.  However I don't think it should be used to replace settings in 1bash, but rather to allow members to export / import their settings more easily if desired.

As a very large number of users only mine the primary coins, and new members just want to start mining a primary coin as easily as possible; I intend to address this issue by making a simple 1bash for v0020. 

The simpler 1bash will be for members who just want to start mining primary coins and aren't concerned with perfect optimization / advanced features ( I will make logic to auto OPT based on my own OC settings / pools / the users location ).  For v0020 I will make the default 1bash as simple as possible; I will include a normal (advanced 1bash) inside a directory (folder) named advanced or something similar.  3main will detect if the simple or advanced 1bash is used and execute accordingly.  Thus new members will have the simplest possible 1bash to configure to get up and mining; and advanced users will only have to overwrite the simple 1bash with the one in the advanced directory.

Everyone should then be able to use the simple, the normal (advanced) or customize the automation features of the simple to mix a simpler 1bash with advanced customization.

IMO this combined with csv or json import / export should cover all the use cases without forcing anyone to use a configuration method they view as too simple or too complex.


There is no problem with yours solutions hold out.

you are the creator and pilot of this project. As I wrote, I will wait and continue mining on Scott Alfter's script pending the next stable version. The V0020 from what I understand by reading you...

Can I somehow modify ssh port?
[clip]
Thanks.

You must redirect from external wan address to local IPs and Ports like 45022 or 345622 for example. Otherwise you risk attacks.

Well, not 345622. That would be an illegal number...

Port number only goes up to 65535.

ICANN allows registration of ports from 1024-49151 if  company wants to claim it for their protocol (like a particular game or application), but you're usually safe using one of these. If you have a game that suddenly doesn't work well, check if you've grabbed the port range it wants to use, but most games will try to find another port to connect on.

Ports below 1024 should be avoided as "well-known" ports that lots of people use, such as 22 being SSH and 80 being http.



yes, you're right. i add too much numbers for example

Can I somehow modify ssh port?
Because I have 2 rigs with the same external IP and I connect to it, and the portforward via router to the PC.
For the easy portforward setup it could be better to modify ssh port from 22 to for example 23 for second PC.

Thanks.

You redirect the ports by NAT/PAT on your router ! ssh port is always the same ! You could change it but it is not a good solution.

Search on the internet how to redirect with address and port transaltion from the internet to your machine at home. We have all the same problem ! it is better to not rediect directly the ssh port to your rig. It is risky to do that.

You must redirect from external wan address to local IPs and Ports like 45022 or 345622 for example. Otherwise you risk attacks.

Does it have support for the Xevan protocol? Been mining on windows with afterburner, but looking for a switch to learn something new (very small hobby mining)

It seems to me that someone post about this algo a few days and few pages before on this thread. For BTX if i remember correctly.

I think if you Seach in this thread (with BTTalk engine and the word "xervan"), you will find your responses.
