[ANN] cudaMiner & ccMiner CUDA based mining applications [Windows/Linux/MacOSX]

[Athalbjorn]

Give it up with cudaminer, it's over 3 years out of date. The only algos it supports are either dead or taken
over by ASICs. The code won't compile with new tools and won't run on new hardware when compiled with
old tools.

Use one of the many forks of ccminer that are actively developped.

... not actually helpful.

I'm using an NVIDIA GPU, and I'm given to understand that cudaminer is optimized for that. It was suggested to me that I use it because of my GPU and because I couldn't get CGMiner to work since it doesn't support GPUs anymore.

I just want to know how to fix the file paths so it will look in the right location. If it still doesn't work after that, then I might try another miner.

Try this one:

Well, I'm not getting any errors anymore, but it also doesn't look like it's actually mining. I let it run all night, and all it keeps saying is "auto block (#), diff (#.#), with the first number incrementing by 1 with each new line (about once every minute to a minute and a half), and the second number seems random.

Ok, I seem to have gotten it working. I had to put in --algo=scrpyt into my batch file and now it's actually mining, although I'm only getting about 295 kH/s for LINDA coins, where I was getting about 12 MH/s for Ethereum. I'm assuming the difference is due to the algorithm?

Different algorithm, (much) different hashrate.
Same card, 1Gh/s on one algo and 500Kh/s on another.

Hi!

I have a hard time figuring out how to configure ccminer to only use one of my GPU:s instead of all, how do I do that? Thanks in advance!:)

I'm sure someone else may know more about this than me, but here's what I found in the readme file:

  -d, --devices         gives a comma separated list of CUDA device IDs
                        to operate on. Device IDs start counting from 0!
                        Alternatively give string names of your card like
                        gtx780ti or gt640#2 (matching 2nd gt640 in the PC).

Hi,
I'm having different hashrates for same cards with same OC. I'm always getting something like 3-5% less on my second card using skunkhash, is it supposed to happen ? I tried ethminer for ethereum, just to see what happens, and I was getting exactly same results for both cards, so it's unlikely to be a hardware issue ... I'm using 1080 TI

Hey man,Can I ask how do I mine riecoin with gpu?

[Phash2k]

it's working quite nice on my GeForce 1070, thanks for the work

[whyyyyy]

download links dont work anymore?

[cryptohome]

Mega link is not working, where to download the CUDAminer?

[pallas]

Mega link is not working, where to download the CUDAminer?

use a more recent miner for cuda devices, like ccminer by epsylon

Hi everyone, can someone help me, I have Dell Latitude E6410 and it has Gpu Nvidia Quadro nvs 3100m compute 1.2 I think. I want to know should I download ccminer and cudaminer both or just one especially I need help with creating .bat file for me additionally What else I need to download, Thanks in advance I'm a newbie in mining and on Bitcointalk.

First, welcome to cryptocurrency!  It is a long and wild ride ahead of you to learn what you would and maybe make a little profit.

I have mined with a E6410 in the past and there are questions that will need answers.

1) What coins are you thinking of mining?  Some coins are not suited to is equipment and some might be.
2) What operating system are you running or plan to run on this laptop?
3) Do you plan to mine full-time on this laptop or use for work/school/whatever

I found that getting a cheap laptop cooler to place under the unit helped with temperature.  Close-out stores sometimes have them cheap.

That GPU is not compatible with the later ccminer.  ccminer requires a GPU with a later Compute Capacity then your card.

You have two choices with mining software.  If you wish to stick to Cuda architecture then cudaminer is the only option available to you.  If you wish to use OpenCL then cgminer and ports up to 3.7.2 support GPU runing OpenCL.  This issue is that Nvidia doesn't really optimize OpenCL drivers in their equipment and OpenCL 1.1 which is what your card supports is not very quick.

If this is an interest and a hobby to play with than have fun and maybe learn something.  If you are looking for profit, probably not going to do that with this equipment.

I certainly do not want to bias you in any way but if you are unsure what coin to mine then with that equipment then you might look at Blakecoin using the Blake256r8 hash algorithm.  I think that it makes sense for lots of reasons but you Google it and make up your own mind.

Hey, Creativereef17 you seem quite informed on this topic specially when it comes to mining with laptops, I wanted to make use of my Gpu maybe overclock it, but I was less concerned about what to mine, I was thinking about selling my power to nicehash pool and in return I could get some satoshis, I can run it full time 24/7 but nicehash miner and minergate and ccminer are all using my cpu, maybe I will mine blakecoin but I don't know about open cl yet, can you just point me to right direction how you get your gpu to mine, I think this NVS 3100m gpu is pain in the a**, thanks for reply anyways, you made my day, hope you'll reply again soon,

Hi..

anyone can help me with this error

Hi expert
I am using NVIDIA GTX 1070 x 5 units

i try ccminerv2.2 and ccminer-x64-2.2.2-cuda7.5

both end up with error   salsa_kernel.cu:550

can anyone help me on this?

Thanks

The first question is what OS is on the laptop?  If it is Windows then it is a little bit more complicated since I don't think that any of the binaries are still available for cudaminer which means that you will have to compile the source code from github.  I believe that cbuchner1 was using Visual Studio 2010 when cudaminer was being developed.  There is a article at http://cryptomining-blog.com/tag/compile-cudaminer-for-windows that may be of use.

If the laptop is using Linux than you might use this link.  https://github.com/cbuchner1/CudaMiner/wiki/Howto-Compile-cudaminer

I don't think that nicehash works on Cuda, just OpenCL so you will need to play with it to get it to work.  Using old equipment for mining means that you will have to learn and test many combinations until it works.

For the record, I don't have it all worked out either, AMD is clearly easier to work with but if you have a stack of Nvidia cards like I do then you try to make them work the best way that you can.

Good luck

I don't use ccminer since I do not have cards that are CC 3.x or above but it looks like from your error message that you might not have the Cuda Toolkit installed?

If it is installed and you selected the samples then there is a Utilities directory under the location that you installed the samples.  It is typically under the /home/user that installed Cuda.  In the Utilities directory is a deviceQuery and after that is built then you can see that Cuda is running correctly.  It is also possible that the location for the Cuda libraries is not in the PATH.

Hope that is helpful for a place to start.

Hi expert
I am using NVIDIA GTX 1070 x 5 units

i try ccminerv2.2 and ccminer-x64-2.2.2-cuda7.5

both end up with error   salsa_kernel.cu:550

can anyone help me on this?

Thanks

I don't really know since I am not running ccminer but you might need to compile from source if you haven't already done so since CC 6.1 which is what your cards support is pretty new for ccminer.  You might have to adjust the Makefile after the configure.sh script to include CC 6.1 support.

If you have already done so then where is this error showing up at?

Thanks for your reply.

I have updated driver. Still same error
Now planning to update visual ++   <---- do you think it is necessary?

As for makefile, how do i change it?

Sorry i am newbie that try hard to learn..
