61  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs on: January 11, 2018, 01:59:10 AM
Why does BMiner take so long to get up to speed?

Genuinely interested in this as well.

Hi, can anyone tell me how can I withdraw zcl from https://zclassicpaperwallet.com/  ( http://explorer.zclmine.pro/ ) ... if I need to. Thank you   Smiley

You'd have to load your private key into a wallet app, I would think? The wallet apps currently available aren't that great, however... The recently released eleos wallet requires you to put the `wallet.dat` file into the correct folder manually (if you want to load an existing address), I believe.

What does 3a6fcd1 in the file name mean? It would be convenient to have an HTTP endpoint with the latest version info so it can be used as a variable in a script or Ansible-playbook in my case. E.g.

Code:
curl -s https://www.bminercontent.com/releases/bminer-$(curl -s https://www.bminer.me/releases/latest)-amd64.tar.xz | tar -xvJC /opt/bminer/ --strip 1

Like https://storage.googleapis.com/kubernetes-release/release/stable.txt

This is a very good idea. I'm not at the stage of needing it, but I can see its usefulness.

On Ubuntu with 1080Ti version 5 is 0.5% slower than version 4

0.5%? How do you even accurately measure that small of an amount? (or are you joking around...?)
65  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: [ANN] Bminer: a fast Equihash miner for CUDA GPUs on: January 09, 2018, 04:17:09 PM
Code:
$ sudo systemctl reboot --force

like I mentioned?

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2693128

No, I didn't. The description of what it does scares me (re: filesystems, etc). Isn't there a possibility of system breakage?
Quote
When used with halt, poweroff, reboot or kexec, execute the selected operation without shutting down all units. However, all processes will be killed forcibly and all file systems are unmounted or remounted read-only. This is hence a drastic but relatively safe option to request an immediate reboot.

Quote
If --force is specified twice for these operations (with the exception of kexec), they will be executed immediately, without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. Warning: specifying --force twice with any of these operations might result in data loss.

Apologies! I obviously didn't read that closely enough. Thanks for taking the time to educate me... again!

Sorry if you saw my edit you'd see this causes trouble with reboots (have to do a hard power down/up via power button). Am mining on zcl suprnova.cc, ubuntu 16.04, this was with bminer 4.0.0.
Did you try

system reboot should fix that, i switched to DSTM for 10 seconds and tried again with success aswell.
Might be an overclock issue too, not sure yet

Sorry if I'm asking answered question. What about the official wallet on zcl website - https://github.com/z-classic/zclassic/releases/tag/1.1 ?

There's to be a 'new wallet' announcement tomorrow-ish. For OSX and Windows.
70  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Nvidia miners with 0% fees? on: January 07, 2018, 04:04:40 AM
I've found mining pools with 0% fee requirements, but does anyone know of an Nvidia miner with 0% fees?  The one I'm using, I believe it's called EWBF, has a 2% fee, which is outrageous.  Thanks in advance.

I used to think as you do. The fees - as long as they aren't outrageous - are worth it if it nets you a better outcome. The old adage "you get what you pay for" is appropriate here:

  • 0% pools are either young and looking to grow or poorly run/scammy (in most cases). You'll get a better experience out of a fee-based pool, in my very limited experience.
  • fee-based miners generally pack a punch/above their weight compared to non-fee miners. I'm sure there are exceptions, but there it is.

I was using zclmine.pro. It is terrible. The share response time measured (on average) at 15 seconds last night, causing lots of rejected shares and eventual client disconnection.  I've got a minor amount of ZCL sitting there that I can't get out due to a high min payout. Really small, but it's the principle that matters.

I'm glad I noticed the poor performance before I spent too much time with it. I imagine other miners have more skin in the game and more ZCL sitting stagnant.

I'll withdraw my negative comments here if you transfer my earnings to me, but pretty sure that isn't going to happen.

zclmine.pro is junk. Share response time is measured on avg at 15 seconds last night, causing lots of rejected shares and eventual client disconnection. Now I've got ZCL sitting with them that I can't get out due to a high min payout, as others are complaining about.

Don't use the zclmine.pro mining pool.

Try
Code:
$ sudo systemctl reboot --force

Thanks! I'll keep this in mind for next time it happens (hopefully it doesn't!).

Edit: ok, you made me nervous...

Quote
-f, --force
    When used with halt, poweroff, reboot or kexec, execute the selected operation without shutting down all units. However, all processes will be killed forcibly and all file systems are unmounted or remounted read-only. This is hence a drastic but relatively safe option to request an immediate reboot. If --force is specified twice for these operations (with the exception of kexec), they will be executed immediately, without terminating any processes or unmounting any file systems. Warning: specifying --force twice with any of these operations might result in data loss. Note that when --force is specified twice the selected operation is executed by systemctl itself, and the system manager is not contacted. This means the command should succeed even when the system manager has crashed.

Ctrl-C, kill -9 and server reboot fails means that there is an internal nvidia kernel error. Miner process gets stuck and the system can’t properly unload the nvidia driver during the system shutdown process... All the system gets locked, never complete the reboot process that’s why ssh never come back.

So... for the miner freeze issue, I suggest:
First of all try to execute a ”dmsg” command to get more info about your error (is always the same GPU ? PCI port ? Same kind of error ? ecc ...) then try to :
  • change your PCI Risers (bad-quality ones can really become a pain in the ass)
  • update your os kernel
  • update your nvidia / CUDA drivers
  • desable your overclocking setting and/or underclock your GPU
By experience, 99% of the rigs problems are generated by bad PCI Riser so try to always follow this hypothesis first.

Other tips: when your system is stuck like this, you can reboot without using physical power button using “reboot -q”

Hope this will help you Wink

Thanks for the comprehensive response!

I did reboot the computer from the command line already. That's what I was saying - it fails to reboot, I need to physically power it down and start it up again.

Made some changes to the physical layout of the sytem, hopefully that helps with riser connections.

Everyone probably knows this already, but zclmine.pro is a junk pool. Check out the share response time (using dstm zm, but can confirm issues with bminer as well):

Note that the last number before a possible `+` character at the end of a line is the share response time in milliseconds. Avg 15 seconds vs 200 milliseconds? Awesome - maybe don't promote zclmine.pro on your website, ZCL team.

What a waste of GPU cycles/hours.

On Ubuntu Linux 16.04, 6x GTX 1070s, doesn't matter what miner I'm using. Related to overclocking probably.

  • can't Ctrl-C to quit process
  • can't kill -9 the process
  • can't successfully reboot the server (ssh disconnects, but I can't reconnect afterwards)

The only thing that will let me back in is physically powering down the system by holding the power button down for a few seconds (I have no reset button) and starting the system back up. Then I can ssh back into it.

Can anyone help me with what's going on here? How to address it? It happens randomly. Is there anything I can do to prevent this? I'm sure lowering my overclock setting would help, but normally I'd just restart the miner to continue mining.

MiningPoolHub:
You are mining at 0.9% pool fee and you are not donating.

Is pool fees 9%? Isn't that high?

0.9%, as in less than 1.0%. That's pretty low, I think.
