1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: GMiner v2.76 Ethash(LHR unlock)/KAWPOW/Equihash/CuckooCycle on: February 09, 2022, 09:57:07 PM
@Zminer777

on Rigs with RTXA5000 or RTXA6000 cards -> the first card (index 0) is always around 6 MH/s slower then the rest.
But this only seems to occur on >= 8 GPUs.

Any idea ?

Thanks

Hey Gentleman,

are you planing to implement a proper API beside http website ?
Something like JSON that can be easily parsed electronically.

Think that will help for mass adoption and bigger farm implementations.

Thanks

Hey guys,

does someone know if its possible to change the ratio of how much power a card is drawing from the PCIe slot vs the additional 6 or 8 Pin power connector ?

Talking about Polaris (470 / 580 / ...) and  Navi platform (5700)
under linux.

Thanks in advance .

-allcoins is global option so you cannot set it per pool in epools.txt, it must be used only in command line or in config.txt.

10  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: why ethereum pools don't use vardiff ? on: May 14, 2019, 12:19:03 PM
could be yes.
But from a pool operator point of view it sill makes sense to run vardiff. Simply to lower or even out server / network load.
With my knowledge so far i don't see any security issue with vardiff on ethereum.  But the big pools out there like ethermine / nanopool and dwarfpool don't use vardiff. So i'm curious to know if there is a reason behind it.
11  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Re: Claymore's Dual Ethereum AMD+NVIDIA GPU Miner v14.0 (Windows/Linux) on: May 07, 2019, 10:03:17 PM
v14.0 Beta:

- Windows only: added ability to apply optimized memory timings (straps) on-the-fly, without flashing VBIOS, up to 20% speedup compared to stock BIOS. Currently only Polaris cards are supported, other cards will be added later.
   Drivers 18.x or newer are required. Best straps for Ethereum are included. Check "-strap" and "-driver" options for details.
- Windows only: added temperature/fan/clocks management for Radeon VII.
- a few minor bug fixes and improvements.



Any plans to implement this feature for linux version ? (as far as its possible)

Hey,

wondering why all big ethereum pools don't use vardiff ?
I stumbled accross sammy007 comment here: https://github.com/sammy007/open-ethereum-pool/issues/10

Can someone explain me why vardiff on ethereum is a security issue ?

can you explain how you create nonce ? Is it randomized, and how u randomize ?

Thanks

14  Bitcoin / Pools / Re: Pool Question: Hashrate distribution and chance to find a Block on: March 19, 2019, 01:10:38 PM
alright. Thanks

So as a pool operator/developer one of the most important things is to make sure that every single miner connected to the pool gets different work. ?
Which is controlled by the nonce/extranonce  each miner gets, right ?

For my understanding , nonce itself is to small for modern miners anyway and overflows under a second. So miner starts changeing extranonce, which is also just a number that will be incremented?
Question: How is guaranteed that every single miner realy does unique work. ?  How is secured that each miner changes nonce and extranonce values differently to make sure no duplicated shares are created.
15  Bitcoin / Pools / Pool Question: Hashrate distribution and chance to find a Block on: March 19, 2019, 10:09:14 AM
Hey guys,

lets face the following scenarios:

Scenario 1:
* 3 miners each 10 TH/s connect to one Pool Node.
* One work template for all connected miners.  (Work template = mining.notify in stratum -> Merkle branch, Coinbase 1/2, ...)
* 3 different nonce for the given work template

10T ---------> |                   |
10T ---------> |POOL Node 1|
10T ---------> |                   |

Scenario 2:
* 3 miners each 10 TH/s connect to different Pool Nodes.
* Three different work templates for three miners. ( 3x different Merkle branch )

10T ---------> |POOL Node 1|
10T ---------> |POOL Node 2|
10T ---------> |POOL Node 3|

In both Scenarios the pool nodes belong to the same pool operator and the miners to one customer.

The question: Is the chance to find a block in both scenarios equal or not ?

Short: 30THs hashing on one work templates vs 30THs - 3x 10THs hashing on three different work templates.

Does ckpool also adjusts diff down, or in general, is that something that pools do ?
For example miner hashrate drops by 50% in a current session because a hasboard died.
Yes.

Great, thanks   Smiley

Hey -ck

thanks for your work and sharing of this great piece of pool software.

I played around with your ckpool to learn and better understand mining process.

Now one question (so far) comes up, why does the pool re-adjust the vardiff from scratch for every known client after reconnects / instance takeover (with your -H option) / ...
Doesn't it put alot of stress on a pool server with thousands of clients connected if , for example , you make a instance takeover and all thousand clients start to re-djust vardiff with x shares per second ?
Since you already have per worker information stored, isn't it better to store also last vardiff information and start from there on the next connection of the same worker ?

Thanks


That's a lot of data to hand over, the handover only hands over sockets, not the state of vardiff etc., and all of them will have to reconnect so all the previous connections will be invalid so you won't know who's on which socket after reconnect anyway. Worker names does not equal which socket they're connected to.

ok got it, thats for handover.
But why not serving previous difficulty after reconnect ?
Example:
1) Miner A with wokerName: MinerA  connected and mined for a while on stable diff.
2) pool stores this diff information per worker
3) Miner A disconnects and reconnects after few minutes
4) pool identifies miner by workerName -> gets old diff value from log and serves the stored diff instead of starting new vardiff ramping ?

Very likely that i oversee a detail, like i said -> Learning phase ..  so thanks for your answers Wink


One workername can have 10 thousand separate workers all with the same workername, but each with separate diffs.

Amen ... of course makes sense, worker name is no unique identifier. Thanks for that.

Does ckpool also adjusts diff down, or in general, is that something that pools do ?
For example miner hashrate drops by 50% in a current session because a hasboard died.
