EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[S_Natural]

i have a mixed AMD(2) and NVIDIA (7)  rig, it seems that no miner will work with both AMD and NVDIA ?

do i need to run one miner for NVDIA and one for AMD ?

You need run 2 bat file. 1 for Claymore and 1 for EWBF's. Work like a charm
PS: remember let AMD card is a primary card. If not you will have temp error.

Try:
Code:
sudo chmod +x  /etc/rc.local
then reboot.

I checked it's executable.

The problem was in the hostname. I did blind sleep 20 in rc.local before the command to run the miner and it all worked.

If you're wanting to run them at 70% TDP those look like good Sols, how come your temperature is so high at that power? No good ventilation or is it really hot where they are stored

MSI 1080ti gaming X
here are my stats




What do you think guys
Should I tweak it more?

[S_Natural]

Guys please, could you tell me in details how to set the temperature limit in EWBF miner? 
Can't find it anywhere  And would like to lower it to let's say 65C

The easy way to do it is using MSI Afterburn. You can set your limit temp you want. If you set temp limit is 65, your GPUs will throttle when they hit 65C.

ambient temp is around 20-22C

my msi gaming x 6x480rx undervolted/underclocked eth rig runs much cooler ~60C, and its in the same place, auto fans also (they even stop spinning when <60C)
1080ti is little overclocked and power limited to 70%, fans are auto in afterburner running at ~30% maybe thats why ?

The easy way to do it is using MSI Afterburn. You can set your limit temp you want. If you set temp limit is 65, your GPUs will throttle when they hit 65C.

SET TEMPERATURE LIMIT WITH A CONFIGURATION FILE--

Launch your miner with "./miner -c miner.cfg" in Linux or "miner.exe -c miner.cfg" in Windows.  There should be a sample "miner.cfg" in the same directory where you extracted the EWBF executable, in Linux, or Windows.

Below is an example for mining on NiceHash.  Substitute other pools as you please.

<=====Example Configuration=====>

# Common parameters
# All the parameters here are similar to the command line arguments

[common]
cuda_devices 0  <--- I only have 1 GPU
intensity    64    <---this is the standard, and the highest, intensity setting
templimit    87  <--- here is where the temperature limit is set
pec          1       <--- "1" means "true", or "on".  This gives the "Power Efficiency Chart" in the console
boff         0
eexit        0        <--- If you have an unstable rig, set this to "3" for auto-restart.  Read about it.
tempunits    c     <--- Centigrade, or Fahrenheit
log          1         <--- true or false, keep a log
logfile      miner.log <--- name of log file
api          127.0.0.1:42000 <--- url for web access

# The miner start work from this server
# When the server is fail, the miner will try to reconnect 3 times
# After three unsuccessful attempts, the miner will switch to the next server
# You can add up to 8 servers

# main server
[server]
server equihash.usa.nicehash.com
port   3357
user   <bitcoin address>.worker1
pass   x

# additional server 1
[server]
server equihash.eu.nicehash.com
port   3357
user   <bitcoin address>.worker1

<=====Example Configuration=====>

Copy the body of the "miner.cfg" file and edit it to your choice of pools and addresses.  If you set different temp limits in "miner.cfg" and in AfterBurner, or PrecisionX, or  whatever commercial control program you may like, you may have problems.  I use just "miner.cfg", it works fine.  If the temperature is reached, the miner restarts.  If you set your commercial control program to a lower temperature than configured as above, it will throttle your hash rate to keep the temperature at limit.  This may be what you want, it is up to you.

Don't include the cut lines "<===stuff===>".       --scryptr

when I try downloading it windows defender blocks and deletes it, classifying it as "Trojan: Win32/Skeeyah.A! Bit"
seems to be a much more specific a Trojan alert than minergate threw up, is this file safe?

Wow I'm sorry, totally blinded myself of the fan speeds lol. Those stats look great compared to my rig of 1080 ti's

For Zcash, it is more important to have a higher clock core than memory speed?

[gs777]

Hi all,

I'm getting lots of rejected share on a particular gpu out of 7 gpu.
Is that normal?

edit: im using gtx1070

Do i have to do some settings with the intensity of the gpu? What is the usual setting to be set for intensity?

Is it a power sharing issue? the GPU doesn't have enough power?

Please help.

thankyou!

I used to have similar problem but after I reduced mc for about 10% it was fixed
my GTX1070 - pl130 cc150 mc350 temp limit 70C

Version 0.3.4b.

EWBF's Zcash cuda miner.
Expected speeds 500 sols/s gtx 1080, 444 sols/s gtx1070. 300 gtx1060 6G. Stock settings.
Writen for pascal gpus but works on cards with at least 1Gb memory, and Compute Capability 2 and higher.
Miner contain dev fee 2%.
Sorry for my bad english  

Version 0.3.4b
A slightly improved speed of about 2%
Added option --intensity, sets maximum intensity.
Added support for configuration files.
Added option --config, sets the name of the config file.
Added support for failover servers, through config files.
Added new values to the api method getstat.
Added http api you can use http://127.0.0.1:42000/getstat address to get statistics.
Added simple web page with statistics, simply open the api address in the web browser. (Experemental)
Fixed couple of bugs.

Version 0.3.3b
Added option --pec power efficiency calculator.
Added option --fee developer fee control.
Use miner --help command for more information.

FAQ:
Q: How to select a GPU that will be used by a miner
A: Use option --cuda_devices 0 1 2 digits is id of the devices which will be used.

Q: How intensity works?
A: The miner uses adaptive intensity and tries to use the maximum intensity value, with the help of the --intensity option you can set a limit on the maximum intensity, this will slightly reduce gpu usage and performance. Allowed values 1 - 64. You can set different values for each cards --intensity 64 64 64 64

Q: How to use config?
A: You can run the miner like all previous versions with command line arguments, in this case the config file will be ignored. If you sets the --config argument, the specified config file will be used, all other command line arguments will be ignored. If you run a miner without command line arguments, the miner will try to use the default config file miner.cfg.

Q: How to use failover servers
A: This feature works only with config files, see config examples, supplied with the miner.

It's safe. Most of miner are detected as a virus/ trojan.
And we use EWBF's for long time, it's fine man

it might be the fastest for NVidia and zcash, but it isn't the best. if it were the best it would be more complete by a dev whom actually gives a shit about his miner, ewbf has made this as a cash grab otherwise he would be actively working on it and it would have gotten updates by now, not to mention the slew of complaints to ewbf that have gone un-responded.

Definitely would be nice if EWBF could be working on his miner
but we can't change situation

Can't say anything about AMD cards
I'm using gtx1070 and 1080 for ZEC mining
and to my account it is still the best solution...

yeh - the optimizations are the best, but I experienced some interference - as no one has replied I can't confirm if it's something local, the pool, the devs 2% servers, or something else - there was a period where the pool was receiving no hashes, but the miner kept receiving work and hashing away, when checking the network connections only 1 ip address was connected... not the pool ip address.

when I reported it, I thought I should load up and check again, and when it did load there were 2 Ip addresses, but I didn't want to run it for long as it did go wrong for me and I had not changed my local IP yet - This morning I remembered about the -nofee option, so I will do some more tests on the next session...

EWBF miner is good, but I wonder devfee is really 2%? I do want to donate him 2% for good mining tool, but I see too many devfee acepted share appear, almost every round.

go to Windows Defender  settings and add an exception.

Hi all,

I'm getting lots of rejected share on a particular gpu out of 7 gpu.
Is that normal?

edit: im using gtx1070

Do i have to do some settings with the intensity of the gpu? What is the usual setting to be set for intensity?

Is it a power sharing issue? the GPU doesn't have enough power?

Please help.

thankyou!

I used to have similar problem but after I reduced mc for about 10% it was fixed

Hi! thanks for your information!

Can i know your sols per gpu?

right now my settings are

pl - 68 cc175 mc 750 temp limit 80

Is my mc too high?

Hi gs777,

Thanks for your help!

i think i manage to minimized the rejected shares by increasing my cc!

Thanks again!
