EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[TessellatedGuy]

Hello, I've been mining with this miner for a few weeks now and I noticed that when my PC is idle (As in no mouse movement, screen locked) the sol/s goes down from ~480 to about 140 sol/s. This is with a gtx 1070 and monitoring software tells me that gpu usage drops to about 90-95 from 100% when idle and the GPU core clocks and memory clocks stay the same. Is this is known bug and can I bypass it by doing something? Mining speed becomes severely low when I'm not using the computer (as in when I leave it to mine throughout the night). I think this might be caused by the windows 10 creator's update because I didn't notice this issue before updating to creator's update, so it might be related to that.

Thanks in advance.

Obviously you have to set the power management settings.
Did you try to set the screen and sleep settings to : NEVER?

I've got every power management option cranked to the max performance setting, windows power settings to high performance, nvidia control panel to prefer maximum performance, and sleep and screen turn off set to never. This has to be a conflict with the new windows update.

Working fine with Suprnova pool.

 GTX 1080 : TDP 56% Core + 187 Memory + 550 = 312 Sol/s average
 GTX 1070 : TDP 65% Core + 200 Memory + 650 = 255 Sol/s average

I have 1080 and 1070 on suprnova too.

1080 TDP 75% +420 mem - 510 sol on 0.3.3b - 135w per gpu - Gigabyte extreme gaming custom watercooled :-)

0.3.3b

1080 - TDP 55%, GPU @ 1550-1600 MHz, Mem @ 8670, ~790 mV

av. 472 Sol/s @ 109W - 4.33 Sol/W

these are good numbers

What about fee dev control? (--fee)
Is it possible to set it to 0?

[axman]

Is there any score with 1080ti ?

One of my rigs has two Zotech Geforce 1080ti FE cards (EWBF 0.3.3b):

Total rig power draw: 346W, total hash rate: 1272 Sol/s (3.67 Sols/W)

GPU0: 148w @ 641 sols (4.33 Sols/W)
GPU1: 151W @ 631 sols (4.17 Sols/W)

Afterburner: 60% Power, +240 Core Clock, -300 Memory Clock, Fans @ 60%, GPU Temps 56°C and 47°C

May I know how to set percentage of power consumption? There is no clue in the Help text file.

In CM's miner, if you set the fee to zero it is going to speed down, so from your perspective, it does not matter at all. But with EWBF's miner, it doesn't
Because of this ideology, I will always have the FEE option enabled for EWBF, besides, he is creating a badass miner for the efficient NV cards.

Think about it.

Think about it.

I have even written my own miner before to avoid a fee, although it was 5% I believe.   However, EWBF's miner is good enough that I really don't mind the 2% fee.

What do you mean +550 and +650? It's core memory increase so much?

[Jay13ird]

Can you add a feature were if you get a gpu error the miner restarts?

Hello there!

First wanna say TY for dev for thise miner!!! Its really important for me, because im only my first 24h in mining and this is firs miner that i was able to figure out what to do)

I really need help from you, guys to anderstand what is going on!
I have my msi 1070 armor, and now trying to understand 1 thing - can i actually get $2.84/day as "WHat to mine" culc says for mining ZEC.
Now im mining ZEC on suprnova and miner shows me 450 sol (some OC). In *.bat file im using standart setting wich is "miner --server zec.suprnova.cc --user ***.q1 --pass q1 --port 2142".

I allready mined for 22 hours=0.02624205 ZEC, so simmple culc and i figere that in 24 hours i will have 0.028627691 ZEC = 0.00158712 BTC (best exchange in poloneix now). So it is 1.91$ per day!!! I probably missing something, i'm shure!! I tried before nicehash automatic mining and it shows me in stayistic that i will have 65$/month = 2.16$/day.
So:
1. Using gtx 1070;
2. EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner Version 0.3.3b. (miner shows 450 sol) ""miner --server zec.suprnova.cc --user ***.q1 --pass q1 --port 2142""
3. Mining on suprnova pool
The question is:
1. Let me know if i missing smthg in my culculations;
2. Is it fine to have 1.91$/day with my rig?
3. what i need to change in miner settings to get more profit?

Really TY you guys for answers and whaiting for them with patience! Because need to decide asap to buy or not to buy new rig)

1.
2.Dont bother too much with revenu discrepancies, they never are the same.
3.450 S/s is not bad but with EWBF you should get around 480 H/s - - Clock +100  Mem +495

Hi,
I've added support for the EWBF Zcash miner in the latest development version of Awesome Miner.
The API of the EWBF miner is a bit limited at the moment. Would it be possible to extend it to also include the following:

• Mining uptime (time since the process started)
• Current pool and worker
• Average hashrate, in addition to current

Thanks!

please help guys

was mining great for a week

now this happens:

Hey guys,

So I've been running into this issue now for the past few days and I cant seem to get around it:

http://imgur.com/a/xdIJH

I'm running 6 GTX 1070 with the latest drivers and I'm using version 0.3.3b for the miner. I've searched through this thread and saw a suggestion to try--solver 1 or 2 but had no luck there. Also, in order to even get this to run I have essentially underclock both the core and memory drastically..if I dont, I'll get the same error immediately. I have a log of this if anyone wants to take a look.

I'd really appreciate any help!

Thanks
