EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[Diod-ionica]

Hi friends, what do you hear from Tesla? Or the new Vega? What is a hasht on a zek? And when new cards come out from Nvidia?

Hey folks. I have a rig with 1050 gtx nvidia card in it.  I'm running Ubuntu ( latest version ) and have downloaded the miner and set up the config file with my address and pool etc.  When I run the miner in terminal I get an error saying :cannot initialize nvml. Temperature monitor will not work.
Error: unknown error

Any help will be much appreciated as this is the closest I have got to getting a miner running on this machine

Many thanks.

Hey guys,

for me the miner seems to stop mining sometimes, but if I press enter it resumes:

Is there a fix for this?

You should be getting much better Sol/W. I'm doing 770 Sol/s at 250 watts per card. I have 2 MSI GTX1080Ti's

WTF guys, I just installed my 4x 1080 Ti Asus Strix ROG edition cards (which should be awesome) and @stock they are doing only 650-680,
and one of them is weird, doing only 550.

I tried a bit OC'ing them, but I've yet to reach 700 sols. I'm not a noob, been mining Zec for months with my 1070s rig,
this is my first 1080 Ti rig.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

i have something to ask that i cant figure out on my own

I have a few rigs running aorus extremes running https://www.gigabyte.com/Graphics-Card/GV-N1080AORUS-X-8GD#kf
they run at about 600 sols at a temp of 60c
Then i have a few rigs running the 1080 strix https://www.asus.com/us/Graphics-Cards/ROG-STRIX-GTX1080-O8G-GAMING/
they run at 540 - 560 sols each ... at 54c
My question is will i be able to get the strix to run at 600sols and how wil i do it
I have been playing around with the clocks and they dont budge up or down . Does not make a drop of sense to me
Maybe some one in here can assist

Cheers

How are you getting 600 sol/s on the aorus?! These can easily pull 720 stock (740 w/mininal oc)

720 stock with a 1080? Or 1080ti?

@fanatic26 is right, 1080ti.  I misunderstood @ZarKing. You get 720 sol/s stock with the aorus 1080ti extreme. They're real finicky though, I had to OC in very small increments, otherwise they crash, 740-750 is the max sol/s you'll see out of that card unless ewbf works his magic and is able to squeeze more out of them.

How many Sol/W are you pulling?

According to the power efficiency calculator 2.55 sol/w, 300 watts per card

You should be getting much better Sol/W. I'm doing 770 Sol/s at 250 watts per card. I have 2 MSI GTX1080Ti's

How many GTX1080Ti's are you running? Would a EVGA T2 1600 do 6 at 250W do you think?

Some cards are just really bad, i only get 700 OC. 620 @stock

Asus Strix should not be really bad, period.
Anyways, I narrowed the problem to risers + one slot on the MOBO is giving less power, no other explanation.

I need to start buying full size risers, except there are no in EU...

I managed to get 730 OC, and 650 stock, but now miner doesn't recognise 1 card, yet the computer does.
FML.

PS, very important question:

which drivers work the best (1080 Ti) with the miner?
Latest 384.76 or?

EDIT: reinstalled the latest drivers and now finally everything works ok - time for a beer.

glad to hear you got it working, would this work?: http://www.coinware.eu/product/1/pci-e-riser-x16---x16-15cm---30cm

Here is also an USB riser which i've heard are good: https://mineshop.eu/cables/pci-e-1x-to-16x-powered-usb-riser-ethereum-mining-detail

Here are my settings for 2 MSI GTX 1080Ti's: I'm getting about 770 Sol/s with both of them, 780 and over when not using the computer.

Core Clock: 1974
Mem Clock: 5702 or 11404
Core Voltage: 950mv
Temperature: 65-67
Fan Speed: 43-48%
Power consumption: around 250w per card according to EWBF's miner
3.1 Sol/watt

It's been stable so far and is running very cool and quiet. :smiley:

Also, i'm using the Voltage/Frequency Curve Editor in MSI Afterburner to manage my overclock and voltage.

How many GTX1080Ti's are you running? Would a EVGA T2 1600 do 6 at 250W do you think?

It's definitely pushing it but it is doable in my opinion, i would set up one miner per 2 cards so all of them would not start up at once and it would also give you the chance to apply undervolting to the cards without exceeding the limit of the PSU, these 1080ti's take 300 watts from the wall at stock settings after all

If that is 300W from the wall, we need a lot of undervolting.

Undervolting from around 1050mv to 950mv did the trick for me.

Mining ZEC with EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner using flypool
Please explain me why in EWBF log I see "Accepted share" over one thousand times and

Code:

INFO 23:06:41: GPU0 Accepted share 62ms [A:1775, R:0]
INFO 23:06:42: GPU0 Accepted share 63ms [A:1776, R:0]
INFO 23:06:50: GPU0 Accepted share 62ms [A:1777, R:0]
INFO 23:07:13: GPU0 Accepted share 63ms [A:1778, R:0]

But in flypool stat I see only 17 valid shares

Code:

Shares: 17 (100%) Valid / 0 (0%) Invalid

What does it mean [A:1778] and why only 17 in flypool stat ?

That is just how Flypool displays their chart.  Each bar is supposed to be the submitted shares of 10 mins.  The bars update every 45 mins or so on average so this will not be a 1:1 share ratio to the pool.

My 1070's submit about 33 shares each bar block on average.

I have a mining rig with 6 cards I'm trying my best to get working i can get them all recognised on the system but i keep getting the error code Thread exited with code: 4
Please help :/

Start each card in its own .bat file and figure out which card is crashing the miner.  You can run 6 different instances until you figure out which one(s) is causing issues.

If one cards goes down, it will bring all of them down if they are all running in the same instance.

If they keep crashing after that you most likely have the memory or core clock too high or maybe a bad riser.

Damn, those are some great stats.
I OCd them roughly to your stats (even though I didnt edit curves, can you pls send your curve screenshot?),
and I'm getting around 730-740 MAX, I dont think I can squeeze a lot more out of them.

I guess I'm happy with 740, even though that 780 sounds so sweet.

Hey ewbf, what is wrong with your miner, look ? Even google has locked your miner, and one has tried me to hack, my vnc server was attacked from Russia and Romania?


Also, you lose with your miner from a certain hash performance, significantly Hashpower, it is noticeable to me with 6 equal GPU, a GPU had in the cut 30-50 sol less, now I have 2 new GTX 1080TI and a GPU loses in the cut 100-200 sol, in view of this fact I believe that the miner from a certain performance, hash power steals

1. What do you mean by : "Google has locked the miner?" -ever heard of false positive?
2. There is no such thing as "equal GPUs". - They are made from parts that have some percentage of tolerance, 1 to 10%.
3. What makes you think that the attack was due to the miner? - Maybe you have stick your nose where you shouldnt have in the first place. -on some shady website.

Is anyone mining on GTX 1080 FE here? Do you get 480Sol/s with stock settings?
