anyone knows why ccminer 2.2 not working with zcash altough it now supports equihash ?

CCMINER v2.2 WORKS ON YIIMP STRATUM--

The stratum implementation for Equihash varies per pool.  CCminer is coded for YIIMP stratum, and is not fully compatible with all pools.

As far as I know, other support is planned, but not in place.       --scryptr

Does anyone have luck using EWBF with Slushpool? Can you share your settings? I've been trying without any luck so far.

How do you enable the startup of the miner in Linux?

How do you enable the startup of the miner in Linux?

USE A STARTUP BASH SCRIPT--

Schedule a startup BASH script to run.  There are detailed instructions for a "start.sh" script at the following link:

STARTUP SCRIPT HOW-TO-  https://github.com/OpenLabTools/OpenLabTools/wiki/Launching-bash-scripts-at-startup

Just take the time to read, and cook your own "start.sh".


My startup script reads something like this:

=====start script=====

!# /bin/bash
./cpuminer.sh
./gpuminer.sh

=====start script=====

My cpuminer and gpuminer scripts are tested and proven to work.  They include full path statements to the miner directory, and all environmental variables that may be required.  The start script itself does not include the dashed "cut lines" above, of course.

Depending on your system, it may be more or less complicated.  The link above should provide enough information so that you can code your own script in your personal Linux rig.  In ethOS, I start my CPU miner with "custom.sh", which is hard-coded by the system to run immediately after system boot.  The ethOS mining OS does not officially support CPU mining, and must be modified to run a CPU miner.  However, it launches your choice of GPU miner automatically according to your configuration file.  It also monitors mining statistics and reports them to a website.  Custom drivers and utilities are included in the ethOS operating system, which is currently in release v1.2.3.

The developers work hard to keep an up-to-date mining environment.

Hi, thank you very much for the awesome miner.


I have GTX1050ti 8 cards and GTX1070 1 card in a rig. The 1070 is GPU 4 in Linux, however in EWBF's terminal the 1070 becomes GPU 0.
Is there any way to set order of GPUs to be as same as the order in Linux?

(In this case, I would like it to be:

CUDA: DEVICE : 0 GeForce GTX 1050ti
CUDA: DEVICE : 1 GeForce GTX 1050ti
CUDA: DEVICE : 2 GeForce GTX 1050ti
CUDA: DEVICE : 3 GeForce GTX 1050ti
CUDA: DEVICE : 4 GeForce GTX 1070
CUDA: DEVICE : 5 GeForce GTX 1050ti
CUDA: DEVICE : 6 GeForce GTX 1050ti
CUDA: DEVICE : 7 GeForce GTX 1050ti
CUDA: DEVICE : 8 GeForce GTX 1050ti

)

Thank you.

I added the startup script to /etc/rc.local string /home/user/zecminer/start.sh but autorun on reboot does not happen. And I tried to create autorun scripts according to the ubuntu standard, but it did not work either. What am I doing wrong?

MAKE SURE THAT YOU TEST THE INDIVIDUAL MINER SCRIPTS FIRST--

Full paths with no typos are required.  I mined on Lubuntu prior to using ethOS, and had to compose my own scripts.  Getting them to run right was sometimes a pain, and simple typos were often the reason for failure.  Also, be sure to make all scripts executable with the command "chmod +x script.sh", or Linux will just see the script as a text file.  My personal scripts were written and stored in the home directory, "/home/username/script.sh".

It is also possible to call a startup script from cron.       --scryptr

EDIT:   CRYPTOBADGER IS ALIVE AND WELL--

CryptoBadger is a mining guru that has tutorials on how to build and run Linux and Windows mining rigs.  His tutorials date to the early LiteCoin era.  Many miners have built rigs using his guides.

In short, on his site (www.cryptobadger.com), there are cryptomining guides.  Look up his latest guide to build an Ethereum rig.  In part 2 (Linux), step 7, he describes auto-start scripts.  Follow his lead.       --scryptr

Hello! I have a problem. My problem, Miner program locked screen on Windows. While i opening EWBF and this program locked. I have GTX 1080 graphics card. Sometimes i seen error codes; 30, 46. Please help me. I didn't mining ZCash. LBRY or another altcoins don't problem and working.

And, my motherboard BIOS updated, drivers OK, PSU's OK. It had worked before.

My motherboards: Asus Z270E and Gigabyte.

Hello guys!  

Hey guys, check this out! https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2071108.0  Beautifull work, just beautifull.

Thank you for your support! It is important for me.

'' Zcash Miner Autorun for EWBF ''
@EWBF: Can you confirm Acrefawn autorun is on your behalf?

It is my own program, CMD/BATCH, opensource, no fee, just read instruction, copy-paste code to a .bat file and use it for free.
I`m bored to wake up and see that my rig still offline for some hours, I think you too... And like many who on this forum. So I just do that.
If any problems, questions, etc - feel free to contact me.
I leave donation adress in my post, if somewho wants to support me.
Thank you for attention!

Is not EWBF.
Is Acrefawn own work - and deal with some bugs in EWBF miner, also enhances miner with extras.
Safe to use and best possible at this time (until EWBF fix bugs, or enhance its miner).

Thank you!

Hi guys,

trying to mine Zcl using EWBF on suprnova. Miner seems to be working but my results never show up in the dashboard. My .bat file looks like this: miner --server zec.suprnova.cc --user Blackthorne.Blackthorne1  --pass x --port 2142 am I missing something?

seems like you pointed to a zcash(zec) pool instead of a zcl pool

Thanks, is there a way to configure this for ZCL instead of zec?

Configuration should be similar to ZEC because both use same algo. So you just need to change the pointing server address and port will do.

[a4si]

you need to put ZCL in server addres:

stratum+tcp://zcl.suprnova.cc:4042


Dedicated Nicehash Port: zcl.suprnova.cc:4043
ASIA Stratum Node: zcl-apac.suprnova.cc:4042
China/Shenzhen! stratum+tcp://zcl-cn.suprnova.cc:4042
SSL Port (Claymore 9): ssl://zcl.suprnova.cc:4142
Special Port for CCMiner added: stratum+tcp://zcl.suprnova.cc:4044

[a4si]

Otherwise just always go to main page https://suprnova.cc/, chose the coin you wish to mine, click start mining and on next page you will have on top all the instructions on how to mine/how to set up miner.

Hi I would like to use the api to check my miner from overseas.
I have no idea how to do this. How do I get started? Is there a tutorial somewhere?

You would need to forward the miner api port in your router to same port on your rig local IP. Then use your rigs external IP instead of the LAN IP to connect to api from outside your LAN. You also may need to allow the port in the firewall on your rig to external addresses.

I added support for EWBF auto-restart when getting 0 sol/s error aka GPU error.
