EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[tpd09]

So the issue seemed to be the virtual memory -

increased min to 20,000 and max to 32,000 now. lets see 

[dioscures]

I've issue with EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner Version 0.3.4b (Windows 10).
8 x GTX 1080 TI EWBF works fine, but with 9 GTX 1080 TI EWBF freeze during GPU detecting.
Anyone with the same problem?
An update will be planned to support more than 8 GPUs?

you have to switch to linux to have more than 8 nvidia gpus

Tks hanskan, Django69,
I will install Ubuntu instead of Windows 10.

try simple mining, might like it

hi, i have a problem and hope you can help me.

Yesterday i started using ewbf zcash miner and set up on my 2 Rigs:

Rig1: 6x1080ti
Rig2: 6x1070gtx

I configured them around 12 hours ago and they have been mining all the time. Now i went on https://zec.nanopool.org and checked my stats. Here comes the problem! I can see only Rig2 is online and Rig can not see Rig 1.

in the config file and i wrote like this

Rig1: t1SbF2kwe9GwW87bTNqKeLtpBJe96iMZA9V.Rig1
Rig2: t1SbF2kwe9GwW87bTNqKeLtpBJe96iMZA9V.Rig2

Why i cant see my Rig1 online when i check my stats here for my wallet https://zec.nanopool.org/account/t1SbF2kwe9GwW87bTNqKeLtpBJe96iMZA9V . Isnt it possible to mine couple Rigs on same adress? Or did i mess something up with the config file?

Thanks!

I can see that both of your righs are online:

1) Rig1, Last Share: several minutes ago, 10872, 3,925.4 Sol/s
2) Rig2, Last Share: several minutes ago, 46620, 3,248.6 Sol/s

Theres any best performance driver for EWBF? Cuz i'm mining right now but not stable with overclock, lowered 1 card to +0/+0 mem clock and 60% TDP, other card runing 85% TDP and +150/+900 mem clock. If i set to same clock speed, 1 gpu going die...  Anyone getting same issue? And any solution?

Same thing here, if i do any overclock my miner keep crashing, thread exit etc, some weeks agora was working fine but i dont remeber the driver i used, actually im using the latest one on nvidia site.

It's not because if driver. Each GPU have each ability overclock. If luck you will have some GPUs with high overclock, if not you will get low overlock.
If your rig have all the same kind of GPU,then solution is:

• Overclock each GPU to find the best clock of them, it will take a lot of time
• Overclock all GPUs to the clock of the lowest clock of 1 of them. You can use MSI Afterburn to do it, not take much time

Good luck

Hi everyone, was mining on https://zenmine.pro and noticed that miner was down for few hours, on the miner itself console was running and looked like it works like always, shares was incoming.

Restart brought it back on pool. Anyone came into same problem?

Apart from my rig, I use my GTX 1080ti MSI GAMING X mainly for mining (zec +EWBF) in my personal computer and I set the core OC with CURVE and got quite ok results:

~710 sols / 180-185W / 3,7 - 3,8 sol/W

Curve is set for 843 + 170 (slightly above 1800mhz) and GPU is very stable while it's just mining, what is most of the time actually, but when I want to browse some websites / watch a stream, the screen blinks once (driver stops) and mining stops as well.

I didn't OC the memory (just core +170 on curve) - because I've noticed, that the power was up and efficiency went down with memory OC.

That leads me to a questions for ppl that use their 1080ti for mining (mostly) and normal, daily use: what kind of Curve and OC settings do you use?

Maybe I'm doing something wrong? And 843 isnt enough power for 1080ti?

It's stable for mining but not for mining and web browsing.  I also use similar settings for my 5x 1070 rig, but maybe with 1080ti it's totally a different story.

Try to set Coreclock at +120 and memclock -250  and tdp 95%  this gets me 730-750 sols on a Gigabyte 1080 Ti aorus 11gb !

It is hard to tell the reason, as your browsing might be abit heavy especially playing online streaming. 1080ti with +170 core should be good. BTW, did you check the temperature which browsing?

i started ewbf with these:

this is single rig with 4 1080Ti (gpu 0-3) and 1 1080 (gpu 4).

to me looks like gpu0 also used by pid of gpu1-gpu4, any idea why this is happened and is there any performance impact?

Slush pool or flypool? Which is better?

Slush pool or flypool? Which is better?

What coin are you mining?

[papi92]

ZEC. In slush pool has only BTC and ZEC.

[grunoff]

ZEC. In slush pool has only BTC and ZEC.

And how it goes with SlushPool? I see that they have less Hash instead of flypool? Why are mining with Slush?

[Heguli97]

I had a good experience with flypool when i was mining ZEC, no problems there

[bl.fde]

Hello guys! I wanted to mine Zen cash via EWBF but can't make 3 cards to work together. I got 3 1060s (2 EVGA, 1 ASUS) and they are mining ETH via Claymore just fine.
When I try to mine ZEN, fan on one EVGA card starts to spin 100% and EWBF can't read temp or sol, anything - while two other cards working well. When I disconnect any card - it is all good. With 2 cards everything is working - doesn't matter which card is disconnected. Im on Ubuntu 16.04, NVIDIA drivers 384.66 and CUDA 8. If anyone can help I would be grateful.

Thank you and sorry for bad English.
Regards!

Flypool is bigger and better. Been mining ZEC there pretty much nonstop from May - zero dramas
