ethOS - Ethereum Mining Platform

[smilodon]

Each time the XMR-Stak starts, it creates a new AMD. txt file.  Is there any way he can't do that all the time?

USE THE "LOCAL.CONF" FILE--

Or, the "remote.conf"  if it is more convenient.  Put your configurations in the "flags" line:

ex.     "flags --currency monero7 --cpu /opt/miners/xmr-stak/cpu.txt"

where "cpu.txt" is the same as it is for a non-ethOS installation.  Pool information is set with the standard ethOS "proxypool" line.

To get command line options for XMR-stak, go to "/opt/miners/xmr-stak", and enter the command "./xmr-stak --help > stak-help.txt".  This will give you a text file with command line options that may be used in the "flags" line of your configuration file.

Just a note, using the CPU for mining may affect the hash rate reports made by ethOS.  Apparently hash rate data is not collected properly by ethOS.  However, the pool will get the hash generated by the CPU.  My rig went from 1270H/s mining XMR with CCminer to 1720H/s mining XMR with XMR-stak, and 90H/s of the new total was from my CPU.  Console reports from XMR-stak using the "show miner" command are correct.        --scryptr

I'm having problems with one of my ethOS rigs.
It is changing password by itself. (I did change the default passwords) I know that I know the password right. Problem is, I have to reinstall ethos every time it does so, in order to get access to it. Its starting to become hilarious. (There are no remote ssh ports open to the internet, so I doubt it was hacked) Plus the hilarious part is, after a hard reboot it works.
Any ideas what might cause password change?

Is it changing it back to "live" or are your passwords just not working? If the latter, try using something SUPER simple and see if it make a difference.

Also if you make a second USB drive of Ethos and leave those passwords as the default, you can still run the miner while you fix the problem.

I am Linuxtarded.  I am happy to pay a .1 ETH reward for help!

I would like to mine Cryptonight heavy through my ethOS install and I am running into problems.

I have no problems mining through ethermine or nicehash with daggerhashimoto but can't get Cryptonight Heavy working at all.

I keep getting affinity 0 and memory allocation errors.

I have the newest version of ethOS and all GPUS on this rig are RX470s with 4GB RAM.

If someone could walk me through how to do this and or post their local.conf and any other relevant files it would be greatly appreciated.

I read the above post about the setup and I can't get it to work.

THANKS!

***UPDATE I can connect now and its hashing, just 100% of my shares are being rejected by the pool...reward still stands.***

HERE IS MY "FLAGS" LINE--

I mine Cryptonight Heavy on NiceHash with the ethOS system.  Make sure your pool settings are correct:

"proxypool1 cryptonightheavy.usa.nicehash.com:3364"

and set your flags with at least this much:

"flags --currency cryptonight_heavy --use-nicehash"

Don't include the quote marks,  You need to use the "flags" line in your "*.conf" file for any special settings.  I am not familiar with the EtherMine pool, check with them for anything special.  Note that NiceHash addresses its pool with "cryptonightheavy", and that XMR-Stak uses "cryptonioght_heavy" to specify the algorithm; there is an underscore character.       --scryptr

Please tell me how much is now profitable to mine Ethereum, given that its price is $ 200 ? At what price Ethereum is no longer profitable to mine it?

IF BITCOIN GOES BELOW $5000 USD--

Ethereum prices swing fairly closely to the direction taken by BitCoin.  Ethereum (ETH) is now very close to being unprofitable for average USA electricity costs.  Should BitCoin continue on a downward trend, Ethereum will likely drop in price sufficiently low to be unprofitable.

Mining digital currency is already unprofitable in some regions.  I don't need to do the math, it is obvious.       --scryptr

Can we tune the GPU voltage and frequency with your OS

YES--

Go to "www.ethosdistro.com" and read the documents.  The Knowledge Base will explain how to manage rig performance.       --scryptr

Anyone using progpowminer ?
Got a mix of RX580 4GB and RX570 4GB running at 7 mh/s each but settings like ptune do not work.
Ptune is set to 5 but gpus are at 2 and sometimes at 3. Tried to change vlt, ptune, core and memclock no change.
According to progpow tests a RX580 should be able to reach 9mh/s.
Maybe i'm missing flags?


Got it, pwr/tdp was too low.
RX580 9,4 mh/s @ 1150/1750 pwr 150
RX570 8,4 mh/s @1150/1750 pwr 140

CURIOUS ABOUT BITCOIN INTEREST (BCI) COIN--

I haven't tried the new miner yet, but I am curious about (coin yield) / (hash rate).  The currency is being promoted as a "savings" coin, to be held rather than traded.  How many coins can be expected for a single rig?

EthOS 1.3.2 Asrock H81 with

3x RX580 Nitro+ 4GB(single gpu 9,4 mh/s @130W)
2x RX570 Nitro+ 4GB(single gpu 8,4 mh/s @130W)

Total mh/s: 45 @ 700W according to ethOS

Mining since 20h, allready paid 1,14xxxxx immature 0,26xxx bci. According to whattomine yield should be 2.163690 bci with 1% pool fee per 24h.

THANK YOU! --

That is some good information.  I am trying to sync the Win 64 BCI-qt wallet.  It is synchronizing, but slowly.  I may have at least a days wait, but the wallet is saying 100+ years.      --scryptr

EDIT:  I have about 20 blocks left to sync and the BCI-qt wallet says it will take more than 46 years.       --scryptr

EDIT: The wallet synchronized a minute or so after I typed the above edit.  It took maybe 4-5 hours total to sync.  I have received BCI from mining with no problems.

Just a heads up to those who keep current--do NOT update to 1.3.3 without a solid backup first. I have been paying with it for the past two days and the best I could get was 2/5 cards hashing for more than half an hour. The suggestions they offer in IRC (not people, the static message at the top of the page) crashed the entire rig and nothing will hash. Will be rolling it back to 1.3.2 tomorrow. Buggy release, avoid until it is properly tested (or at least try it out first, like install to a separate thumbdrive and update that).

worth the $$$. my 6 gpu rig ran this system flawlessly.

THE LATEST TEAMREDMINER BREAKS ETHOS MONITORING AND STATISTICS--

TeamRedMiner now mines CryptoNight, but this breaks ethOS monitoring scripts. It can be used on ethOS without too much trouble using only "show miner" to monitor the new miner.  I have a tutorial in my thread:

with a little shoehorning in of some lib files, you can mine bitcoinle.org on your ETHos rigs, I am, perect CPU miner only runs around 1 minute every 15-20 mins:

http://blepool.com/ is rockin steady again!

Get your miner at:

https://github.com/NerdMosby/minerd-LE/releases/tag/2.5.2

Set your start.bat as:

minerd.exe -a sha256d -o stratum+tcp://sha256.blepool.com:3337 -u JSTL9EtsEZA3PFowEd3Zevt58v9MN8Phku -p x -q

Change the address to your own that you get from RECV tab from the wallet at:

https://github.com/Bitcoin-LE/bitcoinle-core/releases/tag/0.16.7

When first starting wallet, enter these details for the metro server:

metronomeAddr=185.243.112.123
metronomePort=8332
metronomeUser=metro
metronomePassword=metronews1

Get on the Low Energy Train!

Mineable alongside any other coin!

Perfect to run on GPU mining rigs!
