ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1

Is there a specification for Eth Stratum v2? Currently my SGMiner port only works with getwork, and it does NOT work well at low diff.

Try DonkeyPool - min diff is 1.5 Bill and fluctuates so all miners share submit average is equal to the average ETH blocktime.
That's what stratum is suppose to do, right?

There are now (3) stratum options (thanks to NiceHash).
They each have differing opinions on how to deliver getWork from the wallet without polling a websocket.

DonkeyPool supports the Coinotron spec, which makes the most sense.
Why use a proxy? all miners now support some type of stratum.

DonkeyPool still has getWork support, but only until June 30.
Then it's all stratum(ish) support.

DonkeyPool getwork string would be address: / workername / hashrate integer value

eg
www.donkeypool.com/0xaaaadddreeesss/worker/10

No, Stratum is a lot better, which is why I'd rather SGMiner use it than getwork. But fucking NiceHash had to reinvent the wheel (again) - are there actual specs for any of these stratum versions? Specifically 2 and 3?

Stratum is marginally better - for pools.
It's easier to administrate - but keeping a socket open has essentially the same footprint as 2 requests to nginx per second, per miner.
There is no spec, only code.
NiceHash's document is outdated and I haven't found it to be accurate.
Maybe they just haven't updated.

Not just better for pools - you can find two shares in a row, and submit both with Stratum. With shitty Eth getwork, it forces new work every submit.

Not true with DonkeyPool.
Nnginx sits between the wallet and proxies eth_submitWork.

The getWork params only change when there's a blockchange, as it should be.

True with others, at least.

Yup, other's who aren't paying attention.
ANY share can solve a block - it's stupid not to allow this and just look for duplicate nonces and verify the share diffs.
sammy007 is convinced this is a bad idea and his pool doesn't (and never will) support vardiff.
He also won't share why he's so paranoid on the subject.

I've examined the code in geth and I just don't see a problem with a difficulty "proxy".
It's not REALLY vardiff, just a mech to balance share submission.

What is the fix for nvidia 1080 on windows 7 64bit? I am getting .75MH/s, lol.

there isn't, but try this if you can

Can anybody with a 1080 or 1070 and Win10 try to get 368.20 drivers running? They are installed by Windows Update and may require a Windows Insider subscription. When running dxdiag with 368.20, WDDM version is upgraded from 2.0 to 2.1. No TLB fix for my 970, but it may solve the issue on Pascal cards.

i think on win 7 new pascal are doomed for etheruem, there will not be any good hashrate there

I don't even know about a V3.
The way I understand it, there's the dwarfpool one, then coinotron's based off the bitcoin/slush protocol, and now nicehash. I don't know about version numbers except nicehash adjusted the coinotron one to allow for their needs, so if coinotron's was V1, I guess nicehash is V2.
This was the info nicehash gave http://forum.ethereum.org/discussion/7369/dagger-hashimoto-added-to-nicehash. Other info I found was from https://github.com/Coinotron/eth-stratum-mining-proxy/commit/065bf6423a310a590029cf2f2395c7f1e21467af for the original coinotron stuff.  For the dwarfpool stuff, I read through the code https://github.com/sammy007/open-ethereum-pool but that's probably not the easiest to pick through. Wish someone put out a full spec.

Dear Genoil,
Will you  build new version still on geth or on Parity ?

[McNulty]

Is it possible to use a primary pool with stratum and a failover pool with ethproxy ?  (ethermine + dwarfpool for example)

The fix is don't use Windoze.

Geth and Parity are the same thing, and Ethereum client with RPC support.

Genoil's miner version should support both with getWork (-F), so, I suppose it's not really up to Genoil.

[adamvp]

I read on another miner thread that parity brings us  new more efficient miner so that 's why I am asked

if you use the miner in parity maybe, this is a standalone miner that would connect to parity via RPC

Hey Clintar,
Yep - you and I have been thru this bullshit.
What you're saying is accurate according to my observations too.

NiceHash is requiring pools to track a miner unique id with a 2-byte token they are calling "extranonce".
They also have an ETH pool somebody wrote in dotnet, which made me giggle.

Anyway, until we have a consensus, the shitshow will continue.

No, the miner code is in geth is like 3 paragraphs - super simple.

Parity is Rust, which you can argue is more efficient than Go (geth).
That's what they are probably saying.

We'll see - I built a test instance of parity about a month ago and wasn't impress enough to switch from geth.
It's supposed to be thinner, but, I remember is stayed above 90% CPU for the entire test period.
I wasn't even mining, just syncing the blockchain. I never got it to settle enough to test.

Then don't count on a "fix" for 15 years of driver bullshit caused by vendors with no
clue what platform them need to support in what-ever language Micro$oft tells them they have to use next.

BalmerScript? Gates++? who knows?

Dual boot is your solution.

[Smokyish]

Illegal memory access...most likely corrupt DAG. Is this all on 1070s?

Switched over to Linux, happened once there already as well, so not Windows related either. Testing to see if less OC will affect it.

use windows , but use windows 10, there may be a fix already

also linux you need to use the server version not desktop, it give you more perf...

Why my gtx 950 only 4 mh/s on win 10 last update 64 bit ?

problem is driver ? i dont remember actual version .

Which is the best driver nvidia gtx 950 for nicehash hashimoto dagger on win 10 64 bit ? .

Thanks .

350.12 with a modded INF file to make Windows think it's a 960. Then use the 1.1.7 CUDA 6.5 build.
