EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

@NvidiaMining

See your PM.

I have the same issue as @NvidiaMining

@sverox

do you have a fix for this?

[sverox]

1. Edit script. Find line in script

start /i /d "%MINERPATH%\" %EXE% --server %zecServer% --user %tAddress%.%wrkrName% --log 2 --logfile %varLogFile% %varExtraOptions%

and modify to

start /i /d "%MINERPATH%\" %EXE% --fee 0 --server %zecServer% --user %tAddress%.%wrkrName% --log 2 --logfile %varLogFile% %varExtraOptions%

It only disables miner fee thread (this issue possible because miner cannot communicate good/fast with developer fee server and it make delay to fee thread - as result whole work miner affected).

If you not use my script - only add  --fee 0 to your command line.

2. Right click on miner console title bar window and choose properties.
Uncheck "QuickEdit Mode".

Do same for script console windows too.

Windows 10 console design is made to pause when click (focus) on console window (QuickEdit).

99.9 % above things will fix your issue.

Hi all!

Updated my application to support System reboot if the miner is stopped.
Bug fixies.
You can set now e-mail sending frequency.

when will this 0.3.4b update？
0 Sol and stop is very annoyed.........
waste lot of time.....

Usually this means that your OC is not stable...

But you can check out @sverox's script here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1707546.msg20430756#msg20430756

I OC as much as I can so my GPU crashes every 15 hours or so. His script hasn't failed to keep the miner running yet.

Although, this doesn't actually restart the computer, it only handles the miner.

I reported this bug directly to the dev weeks ago sad to see this has not changed.

I can't download Google says 'A virus was detected, so you can't download this file.' and mega says 'Decrypting folder data'.

it's work for me, thanks,

thanks  @sverox!

but it's look like when start and restart, must waitting for 60s, it;s too long, can fix it?

[sverox]

IMO 60 seconds is optimal.

If you need more frequent check.
edit change variable in script
set varSeconds=60
to
set varSeconds=seconds_you want

Guys I have been solo mining Ethereum with my 2rigs 1070+1060 cards .Do you think zec coin is more profitable for nvidia?

[djn053]

set varSeconds=60
to
set varSeconds=seconds_you want

check every 60 seconds is good .
but when start and restart，it‘s waitting 60s too, I think it's no need.
you can improve it by some rewrite code.
Thanks for your job，man.

Any evga 1070 user can share their overclocking setting ?

Nvidia cards are better for Zcash mining. It gives you better hashrate. I have 6x 1080tis my settings are : 100% Power limit, Core Clock to 150,160, Memory Clock: 400 (found that doesn't effect my sols/hashrate at all while playing with it), Fan speed always at 100%. I m getting around 4350sols with temp around 67C by day and 62C by night in room with open door and windows for better air flow. Don't over do the Core clock because i found out from that setting my miner is crushing when i go over 190,200. Not sure what would be the settings for your cards though.

No offense but I hear everybody saying zec is better for nvidia but every calculator says otherwise:
According to my cards I should get max 460 sol each 1070 and 345 sol 1060( dont know about power usage).Currently I have 5x1070:2300 and 13x1060:4485 using http://www.mycryptobuddy.com/ZCashMiningCalculator I should get $26.56 and currently i am getting 481mh/s  (all cards set to 95w from smos 2000 Watts from wall)with all the cards I use and with Whatomine calculation I should get $30.73.These values are without electricity costs.

Calculators are not accurate on the short term because of the luck of finding blocks.

I m a noob in mining and crypto overall, but the simplest way to find what's most profitable to mine for my rig is just to download NiceHash miner and use it for the benchmark test. It will show you exactly what's best for your GPUS at the current time.

Is possible, but i on vacancy now.
After back plan to code GUI tool which work as frontend, watcher to miner.
Will see after 2-4 weeks.

 It depends.

 A lot of the time on the 1070 and 1060 ETH is marginally more profitable, a lot of the time ZEC is - but they are usually very close on profitability ON THOSE TWO CARD MODELS.

 1080 and 1080ti, ZEC wins hands down because those cards aren't good ETH mining cards but ARE good ZEC mining cards.

[uDwcHYO]

Does anyone know why with the parameter --intensity 1 (out of 64) the miner works almost at full power?

you might want to take a look at this https://www.techspot.com/article/1438-ethereum-mining-gpu-benchmark/
All my 1080Ti give me at least 15% more than these results and my GTX-1080 gets 26 MH/s with a tiny OC and a tweak in the Nvidia profile.

[z0n0]

Is it true memory overclocking doesn't impact the hash performance?
Unlike to ETH mining where mem OC do the work.

What is the best OC values with 1060s?

[Psynthax]

Anyone had an issue where when you close the miner system would lag for few seconds and the miner would shut down, but when you start it again or any application that requires GPU windows notifies me that "Application has been blocked from accessing Graphics hardware" ?

I presume it has to do something with the drivers or what? Its the newest ones but all other versions behave the same.. 

Any fixes for this issue? ..since I am using this machine as my daily driver and I would like to be able to quit mining when I need the machine and continue when I dont without restarting, since restart fixes it until I quit the miner again.. very annoying..  Thanks
