EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[JBear]

I use this in my config file for mining with a solo 1070 sea hawk ek x for zec at dwarfpool.  Don't know if this will help, but I'm not having any issues with it.

Forgot to mention one BUG to EWBF

--log or --logfile is not working, does not create miner.log or any other with second option.

Everything other works fine.

From the help file, --log takes a value of 1 or 2, so --log 1 or --log 2
and --logfile takes a value of a file name (what you want to call your log file)

--log               Create file miner.log in directory of miner.
                    Allowed values 1 and 2. 1 only errors, 2 will repeat console output.
--logfile           Set custom filename.

True

My mistake

Thank you

Hello, I am getting an error 'Error: No devices selected' when running this on windows 10 with latest drives 1 gtx 1070 and 5 gtx 1080's. Anyone have this problem before or can help me find the solution?


miner --server zen.suprnova.cc --user cryptomkd.7 --pass x --port 3618
--cuda_devices 0 1 2 3 4 5
--intensity    64 64 64 64 64 64
--templimit    80
--pec          0
--boff         0
--eexit        0
--tempunits    c
--log          0
--logfile      miner.log
--api          127.0.0.1:42000

make a .bat file then copy this info into it (should all be 1 line):

miner --server zen.suprnova.cc --user cryptomkd.7 --pass x --port 3618 --log 1 --fee 2.0 --tempexit 70 --pec --api --eexit 3

save the .bat file then run it.. should fire right up.

Now if you want a script that will auto restart the miner if it drops, I recommend:  EWBF Miner Auto Start/Restart Script by sverox

Can`t wait for new version of this miner. Some more optimization. Updates. Approvements of speed for 1080 Ti.

so the dev is still active ?

I think you'll wait forever if you want an update of this miner, seems abandoned long ago.
I would recommend checking dstm's miner, he is going to provide windows binaries soon.

after windows 10 update i have a problem (gtx 1070 armor oc +150/+600) (same thing happens without OC too)

last time when it happend istalling newest driver helped - now it does not

any ideas?

my plan is to reinstall windows dont see any other options really

[QuintLeo]

Try rolling back to the older driver that WAS working.

 A lot of NVidia driver versions do NOT work well for mining - the current 385.41 version is PARTICULARLY UNSTABLE AND CRASHY, I was never able to keep my machine that was running it up for more than about 5 MINUTES when I tried to mine.

[jpl]

So I think I read through everything 3 times here, and then some.. and it looks like I have mine working. 
Just a few questions. 
Do you guys just change each of the bat files server name, and address only?.. or do you change more settings?
I added my wallet address to each bat file, but I looks like I still needed to change each server address for nanopool and flypool etc.

C:\embf\miner.exe --server us1-zcash.flypool.org --port 3333 --user 0xed6717e3f5223550C2D2A3C59A903e62.rig0 --pass x

Also, why is fypool.bat not spelled flypool.bat?

What cards do you have? What drivers are using?

Comment fait on pour avoir un tableau pour les stats comme le lien ci dessous

en français ? Sérieusement ?? Pas de classe...

dans ton batch: --api 127.0.0.1:42000 et pointe ton navigateur ici: http://127.0.0.1:42000/

ok merci

 Since when is a month or so "abandoned long ago"?

 Why do people ASSUME that "continuous improvement in mining a specific algorithm" is POSSIBLE?

[QuintLeo]

I have a wide range of NVidia cards out of the 1070, 1080, and a pair of 1080ti range.

 385.41 has yet to stay running more than perhaps 5 minutes while mining on ANY of the ones I've tested on.

 I usually prefer to use 373.06, but have to use something more recent on the 1080 ti cards (378.something is my norm there), but just built up a new "gaming machine" with one of the 1080 ti cards and for GAMING it's better to stay more current - when possible.

currently using 384.94 and everything is fine. (plenty of 1070, 2 1080 and a few 1080Ti)

Anyone else having trouble downloading the latest Win X64 version? I tried on Mega and my browser wouldn't let me download it saying it's likely infected with a virus/malware. Then I tried through Google Docs and got the same thing, Google detected a virus. I'm fairly certain given the larger userbase and recommendation from Zcash that it isn't a virus, but I'm not sure how to download it?

On Google Drive, right-click the file you want to download, Make a Copy, Locate, (leave page if asked), ..., download infected file.

Thank you. I ended up downloading through Mega by disabling Chrome's infected website check.

I do have another question however. I put my wallet address as the login as the username using Zcash flypool's server in the miner.cfg file. I turned the miner on this morning and when I returned from work, I checked the web GUI for flypool and noticed I earned no Zcash even though it was mining for 8-9 hours. Can anyone help me get set up with this? Thanks!

Especially in a free product

The pool needs to find a block before paying you.
