EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[Vaccinus]

when this miner will be open source, if we cna remove the fee what is the point to keep it private? maybe someone else can improve it more

Hi guys, here's my set up: Windows 10 Enterprise, miner v. 0.3.3b, three Asus GTX 1060-6GB, Motherboard Asus Z170-Pro, and a Corsair TX850M.

I am currently getting 930-945 sol/s with +100 GPU Boost / +10 GPU Voltage / +900 Memory Clock. Temps are fine and everything works stable.

I'd like to add another four 1070s to my rig. Can I do so, or the limit for this miner is just four GPUs?

I have used 9 GPUs with EWBF.  

on windows? you can't go past 8 i remember how did you solve this?

On my custom Linux build: nvOC.  See the link in my signature.

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

Code:

+-------------------------------------------------+
|         EWBF's Zcash CUDA miner. 0.3.3b         |
+-------------------------------------------------+
INFO: Server: zec-us-west1.nanopool.org:16666

---------------------------------------------------
ERROR: Cannot connect to the server. 7

Running on Ubuntu 16.04.

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:

./miner --server zec-us-west1.nanopool.org --port 16666 --user zec_wallet.worker --pass x

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  

Code:

./miner --server zec-us-west1.nanopool.org --port 6666 --user zec_wallet.worker --pass z --templimit 80

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 mine under Ubuntu 16.04 because its faster than Windows 10 (the primary gfx card used for display seems ununsable under Windows 10).

Anyway, I booted into Win 10 today, downloaded the miner and tried it, but same.

My mine.cmd has:

Code:

miner --eexit 3 --fee 0 --pec --server zec-us-west1.nanopool.org --port 6666 --user  zec_wallet.worker --pass x --templimit 80

And when I run it, same shit:

Code:

So it's not even a Linux or Ubuntu thing. Comcast? IPv6? What could it be :/

--user  zec_wallet.worker
There is 1 too many space in the user param but I dont know if it matters or not.
I am at work so I cant test it for you.

I would like to thank everyone who tried to help me with this problem! You took the time to help a random stranger on the interwebs.

I was determined to fix this today, and spent some time with wireshark, seeing what claymore's eth miner does talking to nanopool vs EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner.

The json seemed malformed at first:

Code:

{"id":1,"method":"mining.subscribe","params":["",null,"zec-us-west1.nanopool.org","6666"]}

But apparently that's correct. I tried telnetting to the port and pasting the json, but nothing. I tried from a server out on the internet, and I got a response!

I then noticed in wireshark they were TCP retransmissions. I then immediately came to the realisation that it might be my router?? Turns out it was :/

I have an ASUS RT-AC88U running Merlin firmware. I thought I had all the stupid protection crap off, but I had this on, and it was blocking packets to nanopool to register for zcash mining (but not ether, go figure.)

The actual option that I had to turn off was:

Code:

Vulnerability Protection
Resolves common exploits within the router configuration. Protects the system and applications from exploits and vulnerabilities with Trend Micro Virtual Patch.

This will likely affect most Asus routers, such as the RT-AC3100, RT-AC5300, etc, not just my RT-AC88U.

Now you know.

Hi,

need some help, its my first NVIDIA rig.

Setup is 6x Asus 1070 Dual 8GB , mobo Asus H270 Prime plus , 2x 750w deep cool 80 gold .

Cards are on 80 powerlimig, +100 core + 500 mem , hashing with 430 sols for 130w.

The problem is that GPU04 has 100% rejected shares , any ideas what is causing it and how to fix it ?

edit: i fixed it , it was at +650 mem and its unstable , on +500 mem is ok no rejected

[mr.hump]

Hey There!
If anyone mining on flypool pls share your *.bat settings!
I can't run bat file on recommended flypool settings at all((

TY for help and have a good day!

I have almost the same rig but only msi gpu's) Try +120 core +550-570 memory, mb it will be stable for u like for me.

For anybody having random crash problems with "Thread exited with code: 46, Thread exited with code: 77, and Thread exited with code 30 errors" this tip from EWBF has indirectly solved my problem.  Add "--eexit 1" to your miner command switches and edit your existing batch file to make them a simple restart script as exampled below.  If the miner crashes it will shut down forcing it to go back to the beginning of the batch and restart the miner.

Thanks EWBF!

:restart
miner --server us1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user address.phoop --eexit 1 --pass x --cuda_devices 0
goto :restart

I am not sure if this will work in bach file, is it not the corect syntax with "@" > @goto restart?

Because for me this one is not working 

[dwarf0]

you do not need ":" or "@" or anything else. just " goto restart "

Does gtx 1060 more efficient than rx 470/570 ?

At full load, what watts are they using each card?

Still torn what to build first... I used to have 280x & 750ti and I like 750ti more.

for mining zcash 1060 is better, 120w 320sols 6gb. RX 470/570 is much more better for ETH.

[Kahana82]

anyone using 980 non ti ?
result please? i need info before buy it

I'm getting around 350 sols at 1555 Core clock, about 200W.
Not very efficient compared to Pascal cards, going to get a 1080ti soon.

Ewbf_ any update on a new release with better API? Hope all is well on your end!

Nice farm.

I know claymore has an option that if a gpu or the software goes into an error that you can create a .bat file to close the software and initiate a reboot of the O/S. Is there something similar in EWBF. I see there is an --eexit option but can you put in a command with --eexit to run a .bat file when this is triggered?

I have no idea, why worry about that? Unless you plan to move your rig to Hell? I heard it gets awfully hot there
And no, I am not from LT. I guess that means Lithuania? I am from HR actually.

Hehe, your nickname in Lithuania means copy I have some cheap 1060, so they are burnin at 72C and more. At Windows afterburner you can set temp limit, so it activate slowdown mode and reduce sol/s to decrease Temperature. At Linux here, I can't see this option :? I really need this. Maybe it hardcoded at linux?

By the way, I finished writing systemd service implementation. If anyone interested I could share of it. systemctl start/stop/restart miner
