EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[Ayers]

Guys, do you know how to automatically restart the EWBF miner when the card is not response and produce 0 sols? I ran 7 1080ti on Win 10, about 5-10 hours, the 7 card stop working and produce 0 sols although the miner tried to restart the card several times, so the result is I need to close the miner and open in again in order making it to work. I run in bios stock and 80% power limit

Does it close the miner if you use --eexit 3?

If so you could just run the miner in a loop:

:loop
miner.exe ...
goto loop


If it doesn't quit and just get stuck then you could restart the miner periodically (like every couple hours) by running it in a loop like above and have another loop running which terminates the miner. Not ideal but better than having the cards not working for hours:

:restartloop
timeout -t 3600
taskkill -t -f /im miner.exe
goto restartloop

that is very helpful i was searching for something like this, but what i need is a bat that can start again the miners if the miner crash, or if after the system bsod, start it again, it's possible for a simple script to get somethign like this?

I keep getting "ERROR: Cannot connect to the server. 7". Specifically:

Code:

ERROR: Cannot connect to the server. 7

Running on Ubuntu 16.04.

I've tried nanopool, flypool, EU and US stratum servers for both, backup and primary ports for both, etc. etc.

I've run tcpdump and I see it connecting and sending the tcp packet (I see the json payload) but no response comes back.

I can even telnet to that hostname:port combination.

Any ideas??

How are you launching EWBF; and what arguments are you using?

Code:

./miner --server zec-us-west1.nanopool.org --port 16666 --user zec_wallet.worker --pass x

I've replaced my real wallet address for privacy, but that's essentially it.

that appears correct, I would try nanopools other port: 6666  also I don't think it matters but change --pass to : z 

Code:

./miner --server zec-us-west1.nanopool.org --port 6666 --user zec_wallet.worker --pass z --templimit 80

Yeah, I don't get it. I've tried 6666, 16666 and eu/us hosts, and 3333 for flypool etc, always that error. And i've tried x and z for pass.

I tried claymore, but it only supports AMD for zec. I used claymore for eth just fine on nanopool and ethermine. It's something about ewbf I feel like.

I use it with  Ubuntu 16.04 no problem.  This is how I launch it with more arguments and an absolute path to the client:

'/home/m1/zec/miner' --eexit 3 --fee 0 --pec --server zec-us-east1.nanopool.org --user zecADDR.worker --pass z --port 6666;

I mine under Ubuntu 16.04 because its faster than Windows 10 (the primary gfx card used for display seems ununsable under Windows 10).

Anyway, I booted into Win 10 today, downloaded the miner and tried it, but same.

My mine.cmd has:

Code:

miner --eexit 3 --fee 0 --pec --server zec-us-west1.nanopool.org --port 6666 --user  zec_wallet.worker --pass x --templimit 80

And when I run it, same shit:

So it's not even a Linux or Ubuntu thing. Comcast? IPv6? What could it be :/

Have you tried changing the order of your params?  Not sure if it would help, but all of my miners run in the following sequence.

--server xxxx --port xxxx --user xxxx --pass x  --pec --log 1 --fee x

I have never mined to nanopool, but do you need to authorize the user before it can connect?  I have seen it with dwarfpool (from memory) rejecting the connection because the user wasn't authorized on the account.

--user  zec_wallet.worker
There is 1 too many space in the user param but I dont know if it matters or not.
I am at work so I cant test it for you.

Hi Guys, I planing to make some Nvidia rigs (6 x 1070 and 6 x 1060 setups), need some tips.
What is power consumption of 6x 1070 rig? Is it 1200w power supply strong enough? Also how much power draw  6 x gtx1060 3gb rig, is it supply of 850-1000w enough?

Next question is hash (Zcash), gtx1060 3gb can make 300sol, while gtx1070 can make about 480sol, is that right?

[wedlock]

What wallet do you guys use with this miner? Want to use some local one for zcash..trying to skip all these online exchanges, ppl saying there are some problems with EWBF.. how comes? ;/

anyone here using 1070s?

is a 650w gold psu sufficient for 2x 1070 mining?

If it is single rail and has enough pcie connectors it should be ok for 2x 1070.

What are the best settings for 1070 Pallit jetstream or gamerock flashed to gamerock premium?
I know there are many experimentators here with great experience. I have 450 sol and 170W. And that is not good result.
Notice: Pair of my cards cant handle flashed core clock with stable mining. It hangs and I forced to reduce core clock -30 to do it stable
Please give me advice and recommend settings for afterburner

Depends of you goal.
Solwise or wattwise?

I can tell you for gtx1060 6gb pc is 120W using --pec not from wall, i don't know how much is from wall if it makes any different. I do 320Sol with 6GB version so i know 3gb will do 300sol OC. I order 3gb version right now.

I checked and don't have an extra space in my command line, I inadvertently added it in when removing my actual wallet address.

i have error on my miner.... THERAD EXİTED WİTH CORE:77 some one can help me ?

[Junkey]

anyone here using 1070s?

is a 650w gold psu sufficient for 2x 1070 mining?

I have 3 1070 on stock settings getting 589W  at the wall.  So you are fine.

hi guys,

is there any monitoring tool for ewbf?
i need an alert when the ewbf miner stop mining.
i think i saw it somewhere but i cant find it.
any info?

Hi Guys,

Sorry for being noob here. I want to start small and very interested in low powered mining.

Now I want to build like 6x gtx1050... would that be ok? How much min and max hashrate I would get on per 1050?

Thanks in advance!

SC version can do ~180 sol/s.  I have 1050s, 1060s, 1070s, and 1080ti rigs; and I would recommend making a rig with 1060s or 1070s instead. 

The main reason is the efficiency: the 1050s can't match the range or level of the others.

Thanks, just wondering though since 1060 doubles the price of 1050. How about their wattage? and 1060 hashrate?

The price of 1060 is around 470 / 480... in this case, would you rather mine on 470s or 1060s ?

Thanks again!
