what GPU you using ? Nvidia or AMD
and more profit mining zcash or ZenCash iif using Nvidia ?

That zhash.pro pool is pretty cool.  Not many miners there right now since it is brand new, but he's doing 0% for life for those who join early.

Quite useful, I did want to start mining ZenCash or a similar Equihash algorithm supported coin. Although, I kept facing issues with the EWBF miner on my desktop mining rig. The .bat file won't start, it will immediately shut down after running it.

However, it runs fine on my laptop, which I also tested. Any thoughts?

just type following :
                    => + return     it's to see the actual running jobs

if you are mining, normaly, you should see 3 jobs :
1) the miner
2) temp (assuming temp supervision is on yes in your bash file)
3) watchdog (assuming wdog supervision is on yes in your bash file)

to see each job type the following :
               => + return    it's to see your mining jobs

                    => to exit the miner windows

same for the other jobs
                 => + return
 

                => + return


then type :
                          => + return      it's to close your ssh session but the jobs still running

if you want to change your bash file, just type :
               => + return      nano it's a text editor - you can change what you want then ctrl + o to write out / then return /
                                                      then ctrl + x to close nano

if you change your bash file, you need to kill the miner
so for that, just type :
              => + return
after some seconds, your mining process restart by itself
to see if all working ok, just type :
                 

Regards.

Thanx for your reply.


Now all working fine ...

After some minutes I have >750 sol/s per GPU. Is it a good number for a gtx1080ti ?

I probably need to twicking powerlimit / cc / cm ...

By the way, powerlimit is a watt number but I just don't know if cc and/or cm are for Mhz or % ?

What's your favorite overclocking or dowclocking numbers (powerlimit / cc / cm) for a MSI Geforce gtx1080ti Gaming OC ?

In advance, thanks for your help.

 Irritating timing, I had just bought one of those about a week before that - JUST out of their price-match timeframe.

 On the other hand, Bitcoin dropped over 10% in that same timeframe, so it worked out OK.


 flypool seems to have been suffering from a DDOS attack today, not sure if it's over yet or not - but those seem to happen semi-randomly to ALL the pools at times.

To setup remote re-configuration of rigs / remote viewing using SSH and screen:


PREP RIGS:

On each rig you wish to ssh into ensure:



in 1bash

have your phone or a pencil and paper with you as you will also need the ip address of each rig:

to find the ip:

scroll to the top of the mining process where is shows:


find this ip and record it with a picture or write it down / save it to a text file ect.

When you have finished this with each rig; go to the computer you are going to use to ssh from:


SETUP CLIENT:

If it is a windows computer I recommend using putty: http://www.putty.org/ for this as it will let you use as many instances into as many rigs as you want.

for each rig open a new putty instance then:

enter:


replacing ipaddress with the miners ip from eariler; if it was 192.168.1.124, then you would enter:


and click open





confirm your intent to access the system if asked, then enter password:

miner1

when prompted

Then move on to the Reconfigure section below:


If you are on a linux computer:

open a terminal and enter:


when it is done:

for each rig open a new terminal instance or tab then:

enter:


replacing ipaddress with the miners ip from eariler; if it was 192.168.1.124, then you would enter:


confirm your intent to access the system if asked, then enter password:

miner1

when prompted

Then move on to the Reconfigure section below:



RECONFIGURE:


after SSHing into a rig:

open 1bash with nano:


make changes / edits; then press ctrl + shift + X to quit selecting Y to save changes

Then:

we need to kill the current mining process by entering:


now we have stopped the GPU mining process



SCREEN:

after killing the current mining process:

enter this to prevent a possible error:


Then attach to the current mining process screen (v0018 will auto restart the mining process):



if you are updating for _Parallax_ Mode enter:


then


and you have remote viewing of the mining process in this screen.

you can close the ssh session (window / terminal) whenever desired

then later reSSH in and enter:


to return to the mining process whenever desired.


If you are at this point and have a farm command center PC:  Congratulations!  


Right now the simplest way to setup Internet access to your rigs is this:

Setup a single computer with SSH sessions into each rig (I recommend saving each session config or making a file with the settings to launch each.)  

On this computer install Teamviewer or a similar application.  

Connect via your mobile / tablet / work computer ect to the control computer with Teamviewer or similar application, then on that rig Monitor / reconfigure each rig via its SSH session.

This should be reasonably simple (given the complexity of what you are doing) to setup.


See the _Parallax_ Mode guide for autoupdating oneBash Link


Additional useful cmds for Screen from UberDaemon:

To detach from a screen (i.e. you want to close the SSH connection while mining continues afterwards) it's


To reattach to a screen (resume connection) it's

 # once you've typed 3-4 characters hit the tab key and it will fill out the rest and save you some typing

If you can't remember what you named the session use:


If you're new to screen you may not know you can open a 2nd shell and switch back and forth (i.e. your miner is running on one shell and you open a 2nd to run nvidia-smi):

once in screen you create a 2nd shell (or 3rd, 4th, etc) with

To switch back and forth use:

nice thread, good job !

I would have put more GPU on each motherboard with PCIe risers, though

I think this new GPU miner will be launch in the market soon, do you think its worth to buy this. Considering it has no resale value in the future.

PS: I am new to mining and need professional advice.

Thank you

I tried on slushpool, the return is not as good.

Interesting feature... if you can bring a decent share of the pool's total hash. But I'd only be able to bring approx 0.5% so I think it wouldn't make sense. Might as well stick with Suprnova.

Or... just occured me: if you are sure your 1bash settings are correct and you don't need to change anything else, simply copy this file over to your next installations. You will need to flash the nvOC img file anyways, would take about the same amount of time as cloning.

This whole process I mentioned is worth it only if you customize other things after booting nvOC, not just 1bash.

For Windows the process would be similar: let's say you have your notebook with Win10. Plug the source drive in one USB port, the destination drive in another USB port, and run a disk cloning utility. That same disk cloning utility should allow you to create an image file to save on your notebook itself, to flash future drives. Check this website for some disk cloning utilities for Windows:

http://lifehacker.com/5839753/the-best-disk-cloning-app-for-windows

Now for your other questions:

1) Never had this kind of problem. My setup uses DHCP but with static IP assignments configured in my router, so there's a consistent hostname.

2) You PMed me with this question, but I'll reply here for others: if I understood, you wanted to know if it's possible to clone the nvOC installation before booting it at least once. I don't think it's a good idea, as there's that process to copy 1bash between partitions, adjusting them etc. (not sure if it still applies to v019). So just to be sure, boot it once, make sure it's mining correctly, then shutdown, and clone this installation.

3) I don't think you need to replace your USB drives unless they are giving read/write errors. After flashing and setting up everything, there aren't many disk writes that could wear out the drive, as far as I know.

here in mn its

 summer = 22 or so, true rate with taxes and fees an this is without AC
winter     = 12 -13 on average true rate.

I recently added a 600amp serice to my garage with demand type business service and its much much cheaper even summer rate
came to only .10 true rate after taxes and fees, you alse get discounts for the more power you use.

I imagine in winter ill have a true 5 to 7 cents rate , my only problem being I need to install some sort of exhaust system in the garage so i can move all my rigs from the basement to the garage.

if you can swing it look into a business class demand service , the rates are far far cheaper than resedential

After setting up the baseline nvOC installation, you could simply create a new image of the partitions (or entire disk), and use it to flash new disks. For that, you would need to boot from a different drive, as the disk you're going to image shouldn't be mounted. I personally like GParted Live and PartedMagic, as they are loaded with several utilities for that, but you could just use the "dd" utility that comes with every modern Linux basic installation.

So: boot GParted Live from USB stick; have the disk you are going to create the image from ready; have a disk where to save the image file ready; use a partition/disk cloning utility (or "dd") to create the image; use that image to flash new disks. Note that depending on your hard drive sizes, ideally you should create images with only the used space (some utilities allow that), as it doesn't make much sense to create a (say) 250 GB image with only 10 GB used.

Finally, I don't think you'd need to change anything on the newly-flashed nvOC disks, as it automatically adjusts the worker name based on the IP address (but of course you can), and the Xorg reconfiguration should be done automatically too.
