my miner opens and closes really fast

Your command prompt is running from c:\windows\system32
You need to call miner.exe from the directory it is saved in

sorry guys how the hell do i fix this?

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!

Hi, Yes i will add additional data. Thank you.

Hi, you can try to add the full path to the file name, for example C:\blah\blah\miner.exe and make sure that the file exists in the directory.

Hey guys,

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

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

Hi, here is can be a lot of reason for this behaviour, software problem: miner, driver, etc, hardware problem: bad raiser, bad gpu or weak power supply.
Try running multiple miner instances and distributing all the gpus between these instances, this will give you an answer whether this error is related to a specific gpu or not.

For those who are getting Win32/Skeeyah.A!bit virus detected when downloading this miner, you're probably downloading from the 0.3.2.  Try downloading from the Mega link instead - it has the latest 0.3.3 (Google Drive link only has 0.3.2).

I was also getting this detection.  This detection doesn't look like the typical "it's a crypto coin miner" detection.  Skeeyah.A!bit seem to have unwanted behaviors, so be careful!

When I downloaded 0.3.2 from Google Drive (I thought that was the latest), it got triggered.  When I went to the Mega link, I noticed there was a newer version, but it didn't trigger the detection.  I also downloaded the 0.3.2 version from the Mega link to see if it triggered the detection and it did.

So it seems either the previous versions were infected or they are being falsely detected.  Either way, I'm not chancing it.  0.3.3 didn't trigger the virus detection.

Just a PSA.

Code: 77 -- Check yr GPU memory (one card at a time). Try using MemtestG80 and test for at least 4096mb video ram.

Did you try unticking   -Unlock voltage control  and  -Unlock voltage monitoring?
1070's become unstable when they are ticked.

Nice miner  gives me 36 sol/sec on my 940MX laptop GPU. Nice work and waiting for further optimizations

Guys, thank you for taking the time to help!! Great community and great mining software. With your support and suggestions I was able to determine that I apparently had a faulty card causing all 6 to crash. Now I am able run with 5 GTX 1070s until my 6th gets replaced at ~415 sols/s...time to tweak the cards to squeeze more hash!

Put the command (call the miner with its full path) from a .bat file on your desktop, not from the admin cmd window.

I have tried this with "C:\Users\tom\Desktop\miner.exe" --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user t1QM4kRxb1h3TJeaEoT6VwWLm9ug2RL2fXf.zmain --pass x

still nothing

Does setting --fee 0 also slow down the performance?  I know ZecMiner for AMD did that, but the dev said so.  Here, EWBF says there is a --fee option, but doesn't say if it would lower performance if you set it to 0.

Just looking for clarification.

This miner is actually quite a bit faster than excavator's, so I'm okay with the 2% fee.

Can you try it yourself?

ZecMiner will show same hash speeds even though it will actually mine slower if you disable dev fees, so not sure if that's happening with this miner, too.

I see no performance drop in the console.  Pool site average hash rate is not reliable enough as you already know.

This is why I'm asking.

If you don't agree with the dev fee - don't use this miner, or use "-nofee" option.
Attempts to cheat and remove dev fee will cause a bit slower mining speed (same as "-nofee 1") though miner will show same hashrate.

Man, so far so good  

Here is my current setup:

EWBF's miner version: 0.3.3b

5 GTX 1070 (ASUS STRIX)
~427 Sol/s
PL @ 96%
TL @ 70'C
Core +167
Memory +179

1 GTX 1060 6 gb (ASUS DUAL)
~295 Sol/s
Stock settings

Total system draw at 933 watts
Averaging around 2435 Sol/s

In case anyone is curious about the mobo, I was able to get 6 GPUs running on a 990FXA-UD3 R5 from Gigabyte.

Too low memory overclock, too high consumption and too low hashes. You should tweak more until you get 440 sols at 120w

I'm in doubt that the miner is on your Desktop.

Should look like this.

In case anyone is curious about the mobo, I was able to get 6 GPUs running on a 990FXA-UD3 R5 from Gigabyte.

I found stock settings on my 1060 where similar but the power draw was 120+ for less than 300 sol/s
After tweaking a bit, I've settled on the following for my EVGA 1060 6GB SSC card in my main work/gaming PC:

Power target: 61%
Temp target: 90C
GPU offset: +90
Mem offset: +900
Fan target: 45%

Clocks are at ~1900 core and 9600 memory and this nets me ~310 sol/s @ 90W which ends up being around 3.4 Sol/W
The temperature is right around 67C and the fan noise is very quiet

The best thing is I can just work away, watch videos etc. and I barely even notice that it's mining

+900... stable?

[bittawm]

still not working for me guys, I get a message cannot load nvm1

miner was working for over a week

now both nvidea rigs are down and I cannot get them to start back up


help me so these money printers can be turned on

It's stable at +1000 which gives me a memory clock of 9600, but it doesn't seem to lead to any better results
