EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[GIRTAB]

sorry newb question how to use that i already extract and and got 2 file miner and readme then i open terminal and change directory to folder with miner inside and type this ./miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org:3333 --user t1NF6yLUxAAttibU8mzfX86o8aWLcqF38DX.rig1 --pass x --port 3333 --cuda_devices 0 1 2 3 but got ./miner: Permission denied

idk what should i do, i dont see any guide in first post,

drop the :3333 after flypool.org, keep the --port 3333 notation, this fixed it for me

I think that this is a typo on the flypool's site. Also, don't need to list devices if you have just four:

./miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --user t1NF6yLUxAAttibU8mzfX86o8aWLcqF38DX.rig1 --pass x --port 3333

This has got to be something with my z wallet address or something...  If I copy yours exactly, it will run..  if I place my wallet address in, it fails back to error 9

There is big red warning on flypool : can not send to z adresses...

I'm not that blind.... I am using a "t" address not a "z" address .. I was referring to z wallet as my zec wallet

If it does not work with your address you can put mine in...no problem. 
Are you on win 10 or Ubuntu?

If using  ./miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --user t1NF6yLUxAAttibU8mzfX86o8aWLcqF38DX.rig1 --pass x --port 3333

It looks like ur syntax is incorrect. 

use

./miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user t1NF6yLUxAAttibU8mzfX86o8aWLcqF38DX.rig1 --pass x

Hi guys,
just a quick one - I'm using the miner, v0.0.9b (because 0.2.0b just crashes for me),
I have gtx 970, and without any apparent rule - sometimes I get 195 sol/s, sometimes 60, sometimes 240.

Really weird, and my card runs only on 50% power consumption and 50 celsius. GPU load is 99%, memory load around 70%.

How can I maximize sols?

thanks

Looks like the problem does not reside with EWBF, you should get 240+ steady.
My guess would be that another process has priority.

Yeah, weird.
I just reset the computer and started again, and now I'm getting 220 sol/s,
but my card is just at 60 celsius, and 65% power consumption.

When I mined, for example, Sia coin - it was at 75 celsius and 88% power consumption,
I feel I can squeeze more power out of it...

EDIT: I overclocked the gpu clock at +250 mhz, now I'm getting 240+ sols, and temperature is still around 62 celsius, consumption 67% TDP.

PS - what kind of rigs do people who get 1M hashes use?
Massive GPU farm or?

Try to troubleshoot the connection and/or verify if a firewall or antivirus isnt making any trouble and make sure to add an exclusion line in WINDOWS DEFENDER.

If I remove my t address leave the default or the example above, it works perfectly, I put my t address in it fails... why would my t (zec) address not work ? it's the same one I am using on my main 7 gpu fury rig

I would generate a new address for this rig.
p.s. You are not using the same .rigname are you ?

[shirkan]

could somebody please share a tutorial on how to set this badboy up on Linux?

From cuda driver installation to running the miner.

that be great!

thx

[ioglnx]

If you aren't aware of how to install a driver of nvidia nobody can help you.
And there are examples in the zip..start with that..instead of wasting time.

[singular]

It also doesn't work on linux for me (tried on Ubuntu 16.04 and 14.04, reinstalled and upgraded drivers, but no success). Always returns: Segmentation fault (core dumped).
Mining eth with claymore for instance works like a charm on the same rigs.

without the stack trace it is not possible to say where the issue came from or what causes this at all.
But which driver version have you tried? What patch level your kernel is..many infos are missing to help in any way.

[shirkan]

I know how to install drivers and run miners. However, I am having trouble getting this miner to run under linux. If there was a tutorial anywhere on the goddamn internet I could check my steps and see where I potentially fucked up. I am trying to save everybody time here, you dumb piece of crap.

Have nothing to contribute? Well, thanks for nothing and stfu

Oh no arguments left so you start to insult.
I told you exactly what you need to provide for further help but instead you start insulting.

Well who is the jerk .you

So you will never find help

That's the problem with Linux. Everything is case by case so it is very hard to get help infos.

[ioglnx]

I asked him for more info and input but you see what this jerk is about.
So I'm not helping a moron.

read again, you did provide nothing but bitch talk.


I was asking nicely for a tutorial..so dont give me crap now.

[ioglnx]

I told you what is needed to get a clue what is wrong.
You do not read correctly man instead you insult and being jerk for big time.

I said it would need stack trace, driver version, kernel patch level what is so hard to understand here?
Are you using a brain?

There is no tutorial about your specific issue whats so hard to understand ..you need to come with more details and what is asked for to find the issue.
Instead you behave like a unthankful jerk on steroids.

[induktor]

Hey shirkan
what OS?
I use Lubuntu 14.04 , i had some issues with 16.04 so go back to 14.04 which is waaaay easier for me.

did you install CUDA 8 correctly?, try uninstall your current driver, install CUDA 8 and the driver provided with that version of cuda, and try there (i know it's old as fuck!) if it is no go, update the driver, but only if it does not work.

check if you have libOpencl.so.1 and the proper symlink, most zcash miners will want that

i have this intalled (it was necessary when i used ethereum and it is on my miners):

Code:

sudo apt-get -y install software-properties-common
sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:ethereum/ethereum
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git cmake
sudo apt-get install libcryptopp-dev libleveldb-dev libjsoncpp-dev libjson-rpc-cpp-dev libboost-all-dev libgmp-dev libreadline-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev ocl-icd-libopencl1 opencl-headers mesa-common-dev libmicrohttpd-dev build-essential -y

I had to also do this because i got GLIBC errors:

Code:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test 
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libstdc++6

also upgraded gcc and g++ 4.9 (dunno if it is required for EWBF but without it nheqminer did not compile and i was using nheqminer at the time,  so i have it (if you install gcc-4.9 and g++-4.9 remember to replace the symlinks because it will still be pointing to the older one).

again i am not sure it is necessary, i only tell you because i did it before and it could be part of the problem.

Cuda version I use: release 8.0, V8.0.26 i know it's the beta pre release one, but it works, if it works, don't touch it!! 
Driver version: Driver 367.44 also, old i know, but it works, so i won't change it unless it stops working.

this setup also works (and compile) perfectly with Genoil's ethereum miner and ccminer versions (tpruvot, sp_, alexis78)

I don't know what of all that stuff (if any) will solve your problem but at least i give you some ammo to try, if you use 14.04.

in 16.04 there is one library that was renamed: libjson-rpc-cpp-dev is now libjsonrpccpp-dev so keep that in mind if you get errors.

hope it helps a little .
