Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: excavator by NiceHash - multi-algorithm NVIDIA & AMD GPU miner [1.3.7a]

on: December 17, 2017, 01:55:26 AM

I'm having trouble using Excavator to mine Pascal Coin on Nanopool. The miner launches, detects the card, but doesn't seem to do anything.

Code:

$ excavator -a pascal -s pasc-us-west1.nanopool.org:15555 -u ${addr}.0.${worker}/${mail} -d 0 -ca

I get the exact same behavior on Windows 10 and Linux (Ubuntu 16.04). What am I doing wrong?

Quote from: gzubeck on December 16, 2017, 10:57:39 PM Just to give you an idea I mined BTG for four hours straight and received no compensation from suprnova. I was connected and it showed I was hashing away but nothing was added to pending confirmations for four hours. BTG is dangerous to mine in my opinion. In my experience suprnova can at times be slow to update their dashboards, and I've seen some of their pools taking a bit of time to move data through the pipeline. But this never went beyond a few hours, and in the end it was all good. I don't care about small delays like that as long as they don't drop my data. I very strongly doubt the miner crashed because BTG is allegedly "dangerous to mine". Quote The other thing is power settings. I set mine at 72% not below 70%. I think equihash does better there. I've heard etherium can be done comfortably below 70%. Each system is different and has its own sweet spot. Don't operate based on what you hear, do your own tests. Crashes may occur if the GPU overheats, but mine was far from that. It doesn't make sense that the miner crashed because the power limit was set too low.

@Epsylon3 - any chance ccminer will ever support mining Pascal Coin?

@Epsylon3 - I can't seem to find a way to open an issue on your Github project, so I'll post here my bug report. Using Windows 10, Nvidia Titan X Pascal, driver 388.59, ccminer 2.2.3 cuda9 (.exe downloaded from GitHub). Mining BTG on suprnova: Code: ccminer-x64.exe -o stratum+tcp://btg.suprnova.cc:8815 -a equihash -u user.worker -p pass This was the first time I've mined equihash on this system. After about 5 hours, the miner crashed: Code: [2017-12-14 06:46:09] GPU #0: TITAN X (Pascal), 471.78 Sol/s [2017-12-14 06:46:09] accepted: 2491/2494 (diff 25.971), 474.97 Sol/s yes!

The system was idle, no one was using it. The GPU was not overclocked - in fact it was underclocked, Afterburner was keeping it below 70% power usage, to keep the chip a bit cooler, and to prevent the fan from making too much noise. I've mined lyra2ver2 on this system for weeks without issue. Never had mysterious crashes before, games run great. I've restarted the miner and it's now been running just fine for about 3 hours.
