ethminer-0.9.41-genoil-1.1

[bitstomake]

thanks guys.  its because if I go full force it overheats and crashes my system

[felixbrucker]

ethminer still has no api? :/

[Genoil]

ethminer still has no api? :/

I'm no longer maintaining this fork. After the great Claymore-exodus and Hardforks, the motivation to work on it dropped to the level of the amount of donations I was still getting in. It's been great fun though, wouldn't have wanted to miss it for the world.  .

So, no API. I doubt anyone else, other than @nerdralph perhaps, will fork on and pick up feature development.

ok thanks for clarifying!

Is Claymore's miner any faster if not dual mining?

[smaxz]

Is Claymore's miner any faster if not dual mining?

no, if ANY gains are noticed they are negated by the "donation" mining deductions.

but then again i'm running an older genoil version before some features i enjoy seeing were removed for the sake of esthetics.

same setting(same oc) and i only get 178MH instead of 176, but you need to remove 1% fee, and you have about the same profit if not worse in the end

Hi ,
I am just trying ethminer/genoil for the first time and run into some issues:


Allocating/mapping DAG buffer failed with clCreateBuffer(-61). GPU can't Allocate THE DAG in a single chunk. Bailing.
clEnqueueWriteBuffer(-38)

any help with that ?
thanks

It's been a while since I mined ETH, but I know the DAG was supposed to bump 2GB cards out around this time. Make sure you set your environment variables. Use 'setx' to make them permanent, or 'set' to make them only for the current session. I think if you use 'set' you have to use '=' before the value instead of a space but don't quote me on that. So once you open up the command prompt (or in your batch file) you'd type in this:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

You may have to reboot first for it to take effect. If you type:

ethminer --list-devices

You should be able to see how much available memory you have on each card. (Apparently you have to add -G to that command now for AMD cards or -U for nVidia). If your available memory (CL_DEVICE_MAX_MEM_ALLOC_SIZE) is less than the size of the DAG, then you can't mine on that card. In my case I see this:

Code:

So if the DAG is larger than 1.75GB (or 1878490204 bytes), then I won't be able to mine on my Pitcairn card. There was supposed to be some kind of 'chunking' implemented to break the DAG into smaller pieces so you could use the full 2GB, but I don't know if that happened or not.

You have a built-in GPU anf the miner tries to use it first.

Add "--opencl-platform 1" to your command line

[ioglnx]

The onboard GPU is disabled.
And don't even pop up ..check with other miners too.

-platform 0 works 1 not

Ok, then make sure you set the correct environment variables on your bat file:

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100

0.2btc bounty to anyone who can compile the miner with cuda support on a Centos 6.5 (kernel 2.6.32-431.el6.x86_64).
Just make sure kernel stays the same (GLIBC issues)...

[bitstomake]

For some reason after around 24 hours the windows version significantly drops in hash rate.  Once I reboot it goes back to full power.  Any ideas how to stop this?

Thank you Trimegistus,Finally i can mine eth again

[greaterninja]

Genoil,

I really appreciate your work on this miner.
Thank you for all that you did.

Personally, I prefer your ethminer over claymore's.

[induktor]

Me too.

Genoil's ethminer is far better, incredibly stable under linux, i restart the miners once a week just because but it is not usually necessary.

But have it failover pool? temperature management etc?

[QuintLeo]

I'm not sure about temp management (I do fan settings via aticonfig and don't worry about 'managing" the temp) but I'm pretty sure there's fallover pool capability. Check the instructions.
