EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[sublimus]

Hello, everyone! Guys, can you please help me out? I'm new and can't get my miner work properly.

All I want is miner to restart itself when its glitched or error occurred and miner stopped mining.
My miner setup:

miner --cuda_devices 0 1 2 3 --pec --server equihash.eu.nicehash.com --user wallet --pass x --port 3357 --log 2 --eexit 3

Wheres mistake? (

Last parameter should be --exit 3, looks like you have an extra e?

miner --server equihash.eu.nicehash.com --user wallet.rigname --pass x --port 3357 --log 2 --eexit 3 --cuda_devices 0 1 2 3 --pec

When working right, --eexit takes like 30 minutes to restart.

it closing miner and after that in 30 minutes is should load it back? or it should close and start it immediately?
Right now my miner closing in like 5 minutes after error and does not start after.

Well I have not witnessed it live cause  it always happened while I was away but I could tell from the pool's chart
that it took half an hour to start mining again. Notice that I speak to the past cause it's been many weeks if not months
that my rigs have stalled. Once you find the right settings for your rig and that you stop playing with it, you will see that the miner
is really stable. I for myself find that under windows restarting my rigs every 2 days or so is a good thing to avoid the rig to slow down.

You can also use the code below to monitor and restart the rig

:restart
Timeout /t 30
miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --user t1cA38xyUxJRDdQYacD6x7UUL8nyjTfKeo1.GigaGamer --pass x --port 3333 --eexit 3 --solver 0 --log 2 --logfile ZCASH.%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2%.ewbf.log --fee 2 --pec
ping 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto :restart

In the start.bat , how to restart PC if miner has problem because restart miner doesn't work?

well the pc dosnt restart it'selve and there is normally no need to.
the miner will reconnect if it looses connection
use --eexit 1 to close the miner if it cannot restart the workers and run the start.bat again

if like that, how to auto run start.bat to restart the miner

:restart
Timeout /t 30
miner --server eu1-zcash.flypool.org --user t1cA38xyUxJRDdQYacD6x7UUL8nyjTfKeo1.GigaGamer --pass x --port 3333 --eexit 3 --solver 0 --log 2 --logfile ZCASH.%date:~6,4%%date:~3,2%%date:~0,2%.ewbf.log --fee 2 --pec
ping 127.0.0.1 > nul
goto :restart

Hello. I'm using EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner 0.3.3b but when I start the miner it closes immediately. It was working fine on that PC with 2 1080ti and after it gave me 0 sols I closed the miner and since then I cannot start it.

I've reinstalled drivers, downloaded a new copy of the miner, but it is the same problem - the miner opens and closes after a few seconds.

try to run commands in terminal so you can see what closes it.

I'm using windows 10. Can you explain how to do that?

I keep getting "ERROR: Cannot connect to the server. 7". Specifically:

I've tried nanopool, flypool, EU and US stratum servers for both, backup and primary ports for both, etc. etc.

I've run tcpdump and I see it connecting and sending the tcp packet (I see the json payload) but no response comes back.

I can even telnet to that hostname:port combination.

Any ideas??

How are you launching EWBF; and what arguments are you using?

Code:

I've replaced my real wallet address for privacy, but that's essentially it.

that appears correct, I would try nanopools other port: 6666  also I don't think it matters but change --pass to : z

Yeah, I don't get it. I've tried 6666, 16666 and eu/us hosts, and 3333 for flypool etc, always that error. And i've tried x and z for pass.

I tried claymore, but it only supports AMD for zec. I used claymore for eth just fine on nanopool and ethermine. It's something about ewbf I feel like.

I use it with  Ubuntu 16.04 no problem.  This is how I launch it with more arguments and an absolute path to the client:

'/home/m1/zec/miner' --eexit 3 --fee 0 --pec --server zec-us-east1.nanopool.org --user zecADDR.worker --pass z --port 6666;

I get that error as well sometimes, kind of annoying. Too bad the miner doesn't have an option to try reconnecting after a few seconds.

Could be your anti-virus. Disable it and download a fresh copy.

Guys, do you know how to automatically restart the EWBF miner when the card is not response and produce 0 sols? I ran 7 1080ti on Win 10, about 5-10 hours, the 7 card stop working and produce 0 sols although the miner tried to restart the card several times, so the result is I need to close the miner and open in again in order making it to work. I run in bios stock and 80% power limit

Does it close the miner if you use --eexit 3?

If so you could just run the miner in a loop:

:loop
miner.exe ...
goto loop


If it doesn't quit and just get stuck then you could restart the miner periodically (like every couple hours) by running it in a loop like above and have another loop running which terminates the miner. Not ideal but better than having the cards not working for hours:

:restartloop
timeout -t 3600
taskkill -t -f /im miner.exe
goto restartloop

how to trigger shutdown /f /t 5 if miner has problem, i don't want to restart the miner because sometime one card stop working and only restart the pc can solve it

I used -eexit 3, the miner was not closed, it tried to restart the GPU and it restarted successfully, however after the restart, the GPU produce 0 sols and so the miner keep running. I think it may come from the temperature, I only see the problem when it reach 70 degree C, although I set the limit at 85.

I will try the loop later, seems it is the only way to solve the problem.

One more thing is sometime my rig crashed, the computer is hanged, mouse can not move, but the GPU and CPU fan are still running like crazy, the only way to solve it is to unplug the power, I am not sure if it is because I ran 7 cards or not, I thought it should be fine since my MOBO support 7 pci

Just for the record, here is my spec
Mobo Asus z270a
CPU g4560 3.5ghz
Ram 8gb
7 gtx 1080ti
PSU 1600w
Win 10 home

Not sure but a card crashing that only a restart (or nvidiainspector.exe -restartdisplaydriver solves) is usually caused by too high overclock.
