NiceHash EQM Zcash NVIDIA optimized miner [Maxwell/Pascal] + CPU mining v1.0.4c

[ltc_bilic]

Excellent job of porting it to windows platform, here are my benchmarks:

- 750ti - 70% increase
- 1060 3gb - 108% increase

comparing to zec-nh4 miner, same OC as before, default settings on miner.

Furthermore i've noticed GPU is more responsive in this release compared to zec-nh4, but power usage has increased by 20% acording to gpu-z,...have to do real testing from the wall.

Problems
1) Tried to mine with only CPU, it always complain no mining threads even with -t 2 specified (ie: cant mine with only CPU).
2) Mining with -cd 0 1 2 -t 1, 3 GPUs mining but all 4 threads of i5 are mining

I was about to post a similar question, but I can't get CPU mining to work at all.

I tried on a 6700K with a pair of GPUs but no CPU threads were started either by default or with -t 6.
GPUs working fine.

What happens if you run with only this param: -b 10

[13:46:18][0x000024f8][warning] miner#1 | Unable to alloc locked pages (err=1314
); performance will be degraded
[13:46:18][0x00002ad4][warning] miner#2 | Unable to alloc locked pages (err=1314
); performance will be degraded
[13:46:18][0x00002778][warning] miner#3 | Unable to alloc locked pages (err=1314
); performance will be degraded


What is this error about?

I have this too when CPU mining.

Just ignore that, only warnings; you may get more speed if you enable locked pages.

GTX 970 55 sol/s, win7 boost on maxwell seems to be working. TDP at 75-85% range, cpu usage close to zero.

edit: overclocks quite well too

benchmark works fine, 8 threads using CPU-XENOCAT-AVX2. If I try CPU only with or without -t
I get the same error, no cpu threads started use -t.

lets see how long it takes someone to make it work on all pools :-P

What happens if you do: -u YOURBTCADDR

And let it run for few min, do you get some shares or not?

I tried but it still reports this error.
This is what i have tried :

On the Start menu, click Run. In the Open box, type gpedit.msc.
On the Local Group Policy Editor console, expand Computer Configuration, and then expand Windows Settings.
Expand Security Settings, and then expand Local Policies.
Select the User Rights Assignment folder.
The policies will be displayed in the details pane.
In the pane, double-click Lock pages in memory.
In the Local Security Setting – Lock pages in memory dialog box, click Add User or Group.
In the Select Users, Service Accounts, or Groups dialog box, add an account with privileges
Log out and then log back in for this change to take effect.

I have added user administrator here, as i already had account everybody.
Still not working.

Solved by removing password arg, GPUS and CPU now hashing.

Enabling of locked pages is somehow tricky. I had to add admininstrators + own account, then make REBOOT. After that, I had to run miner with administrator priveleges, then locked pages were able to be allocated. When you are successful with that, you will notice that eqm.exe is using very little memory (because locked pages are not visible in taskmgr).

Thanks for fastest public solution for Nvidia. 72 sols per gtx 1070
Always mining zec on Nicehash - nicehash onlny - not problem for me

What a the best settings for 1070 i get only 67 with ram +650?

[go6ooo1212]

Which settings did you reach such speed on 1070 with ...

[liomojo1]

eqm.exe -l eu -u 1EFDqCQx6iquTpBGRiCitBzwPWxxxxxx -w 1 -t 0   -cd 0 1 2 3 4 5
this is all i put

Is there an intensity adjustment yet on these new algo miners?  I have to completely disable one full video card just to use my computer when using this miner.
