EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[anorganix]

Try setting your 1060 with MSI Afterburner:

• Power Limit: 75%
• Core: +185
• Memory: +450

You should see 285-290 sols/s with 90W which means ~3.25 sols/W.

Good result!!!!

GTX 1060

nheqminer_v0.4a - 52 Sol
EWBF - 270 Sol

You might want to use latest version 0.5c to make a true comparison

Anyone know the speed of the cards below and perhaps watt also? Thanks
GTX 950
GTX 960
GTX 970

GTX950 = ?
GTX 960 = 135 Sol/s
GTX 970 = 270 Sol/s

Not sure about the wattage but in some sites:

GTX960 = 100w
GTX970 = 170w

Cheers! 

Thanks

Hello EWBF!
Thank you! Good software!
Sorry my bad English(

I have one trouble and one solution

You inserted "trying to restart" code in miner but if miner crashes - all next attempts fail.
Best and simple restart-solution for windows is:

start.bat file like this:

Code:

:t
miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --use ....

goto t;

This was working great when  miner was behaviour "closed on crash."
And it doesn't works in 0.1.0.   App don't closing - ".but-script" don't restart application.

Please, remove "trying to restart" code for Win version, or add Start-params like '-no-autorestart' or param like 'restart-attempt-count = ## '.

Really now i havn't way for auto restart=(


Best regards, NG.

If the process die (miner.exe), you can just use another script that run every minute as a scheduled task, that will monitor the presence of the miner.exe process either by taskklist or with nvidia-smi. you can also check GPU load and so on. You can also add to it, monitoring of the hashing speed through your pool API, to now what to do (kill & restart miner, restart rig) and so on.

Thank you. I got version 0.4 , I downloaded from torrent.

It's usually a very bad idea to download any mining tool from torrent, better take them from official thread on forum

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1747789.0

this is the nheqminer official thread you can get new version from there.

I've now been mining With my GTX 970 G1 gaming for 4 days without crashes Accepted:40 000 and Rejected:40.

I'm also doing 310-320 Sols/s with it so it's been great!

[jiggytom]

What are your settings to get 480 - 500 sols/?s? which model?

EWBF, your miner has a serious drawback. When the elecricity goes out and when it is  come back - my computers themselves start, but your miner to go out after a few seconds. It is necessary to reconnecting miner until it is establishment of internet connections (due to electric energy outages and Internet connection is lost). However, your miner try to establish internet connection (because it has not yet been established internet connection due to power off electric energy) and when it fails - miner goes out. This is a huge problem for me because often there is a power failure.

As a workaround, if you use Windows, you can try to add in the beginning of your .bat file command "SLEEP %t" (without quotes), where %t — number of seconds you need to restore your Internet connection.

Just make a batfile that will wait until internet is up before starting the miner, added also miner restart loop if miner process exit.

Code:

@echo off
:LOOP
	ver > nul
	ping 8.8.8.8 -n 1 -w 1000 1> nul 2>&1
	if %errorlevel% EQU 0 GOTO :_START_MINER
	echo "NETWORK IS DOWN, PLEASE CONNECT MINER TO NETWORK"
	sleep 2
	GOTO :LOOP

:_START_MINER

your miner command line here

goto :LOOP

@EWBF_ , learn anything from nicehash code to increase speeds? Patiently waiting for an update.

@EWBF_ , learn anything from nicehash code to increase speeds? Patiently waiting for an update.

No, I will not use their code or part of it.

@EWBF_ , learn anything from nicehash code to increase speeds? Patiently waiting for an update.

You can"t release closed miner with nicehash code, only open source ones.

@EWBF
Any ETA and/or features coming for next EWBF ?

[nexitorned]

EWBF best miner soft i've seen ever.

I'm getting 275-290 sol/s with ASUS NVIDIA GTX 1060

Really nice perfomance, better than NiceCash or Claymore.

[reb0rn21]

its not better, nice hash eqm miner is still faster by ~1% on same TDP, nheqminer which is open source and no fee is on 1% speed of ewbf, and if someone update the CPU validition it even will be faster because solver is from eqm....

atm for most ppl there is not reason to use fee miner

NQE is indeed 1% faster, but it's a lot less stable for me, had alot of crash with same setting i run EWBF rock stable over many days, when cpu/gpu loop fixed we'll see but in the meantime even with the 2% fee and 1% less faster, i lose less mining time

[reb0rn21]

none issue with stability, nheqminer will boost you card over 2Ghz of your OC adjustment is "stupid" because of drop of GPU usage... can be fixed with afterburner ctrl+f selecting disired frequency and hitting L to fix it

its just the problem with stupidity and boost 3 shit to not have a fixed freq/voltage OC tool!

[LarryL]

is there a update with increased speed planned? would be awsome . thanks for your nice miner.
