EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[digibum]

This miner crashes my PC after 30 minutes to 6 hours on zcash.flypool.org.
Using 8 GTX 1070 wit no OC, power to 60%.
Temperature is under control with no more than 52°C.

I will post log file next time. Didn't have it enabled until now :/

[marthor]

So do I edit all my .bat files with EWBF?.. or just one?  I've heard some just want to mine on Flypool only.  I've currently edited all of them/ supernova, nicehash, nanopool, etc,.. to my wallet.. Just making sure its ok.  Thanks!

You just need to put your address into the Flypool file and then start it.

try mining with one gpu to start with, it might be a hardware issue. By testing your cards one by one, you should be able to isolate the issue.
Underpowering could also be the issue.

What hashrate are you guys getting on 1080ti 11GB?

My settings: GPU +180, MEM -500 Power 75%

I'm getting 665-675 Sol/s per card.

What settings are you using if you are getting better than this?

it should be over 730. I get that without any oc and the power @ 90%

Even my FE cards get 690 without any OC

You can't just say that it "should be X or should be Y" based on the TDP % because this value will be different from manufacturer/card to manufacturer/card.

I am running an Asus Strix 1080ti at 94% TDP (which is ~235W on this card) and +130 core and +0 mem (at P0 mind you) and have a speed at around 730 Sol/s.

Yes I can, because all my NON FE 1080 Ti (ALL OF THEM) give me at least 730 sol. Do you get that ?

[MDMurdock]

New to crypto mining and zcash. Can the users with more experience give me a sense of how my rig is doing performance wise?

I have in average 440 Sol/s but 116W per each 1070 card.
What OC settings are you using?

From reading here today, my OC settings are probably a little unorthodox, but I'm at 68% Power, +105 Core and +599 RAM.

 68% power is a meaningless statement without the model of the card - the stock TDP on a 1070 can vary a LOT, many at 150 watts many at 180 at least one MSI 1070 model has a stock TDP over 200 watts (and 2 power connectors).

 +core is also meaningless for the same reason.

 +memory is USUALLY useful, most NVidia GDDR5 cards base clock the RAM at 8000 and most GDDR5X cards at 10000, but even THERE exceptions exist.


 To jpl - which Antminers are you talking about getting high reviews? There is no such thing as an Antminer that will mine ZEC or offshoot coins (at least yet).

Makes sense. I'm using EVGA 1070, 08G-P4-6173-KR.  Looks like the TDP is 170w.

After some tweaking new Average Efficiency is 98W and 4.20 Sol/W. 65% Power, +111 Core and +499 RAM

Hey, I'm new to minning craze.
Atm using 5 1080 Ti's.

Any suggestions? (I don't care about power consumption) Allso, thise 1080Ti's aren't owerclocking as much as I thought they will.

I cannot run at that high power, I have 1600W power supply and 7 GPUs maxes it out around 85%.

I do not have a config.json file

Installation

- Download the latest version of the MinerKeeper on GitHub
- Extract the content of the archive to any folder on your drive (e.g. C:\MinerKeeper)
- Open this folder in the windows explorer
- Open config.json file for editing in your favorite text editor (or Notepad if you want)
- Set the configuration option (see the documentation)
- Run MinerKeeper.exe - it will run your miner automatically

thank you
ok the I have my config file,

I have a mistake when I run minerkeeper,

[wstealth]

thank you

No, thank you!

Unfortunately, in your path to the *.bat file, you have to use '\\' instead of '\'.
Please, change your "pathToMiner" value to "C:\\Users\\bgsma\\Desktop\\mining\\ewbf\\ZEC.bat".

Sorry for that.
I will fix it in the next version (tomorrow).

[matmator]

I put the \\ in the command ..

I put the \\ in the command ..

Could you please add "http://" in your URL?
The value should be "http://192.168.1.10:42000".
Thx

 TDP limiting the hashrate - that extra 15% matters.

 There is also the question of what the actual TDP in WATTS is - it's possible that there are some GTX 1080ti cards that do NOT have a 250 watt TDP (my own sample size is too small for anything resembling certainty).

Thanks,.. I think I made the mistake of using an etherium wallet address for this

[jpl]

Yep.. that was it..  Made a new address with z.cash... and had to edit out coinmine.bat since for some reason it thought it wanted to run with that.  Now I can see my fy or flypool address on website.  Thanks for the help all. 
4 1070's Total speed 1817 sols/s      .............time to tune it a little better.

Hi guys! Is there any -r function in the miner so the miner restarts after a given amount of time?
I tried putting -r 60 in the bat file, but it didn't restart the miner after one hour.

Thanks in a advance,
Andrei

Hi Andrei, but why do you need that?
Please look at MinerKeeper.

MinerKeeper is a console application that constantly monitors your miner and restarts the miner in case he crashed or stopped mining due to any internal errors.
MinerKeeper, if you want, can also inform you about the restart of the miner by sending an e-mail message to your e-mail address.

Please check this blog post or see the GitHub repository directly.

If you need more info, just let me know.

It's because after 1 hour and something the pool reports that the speed is falling drastically, but the speed in the miner cmd stays the same. But after I restart it, the pool reports the good speed again. I'm using flypool pool btw.

I would not trust to the hashrate that your pool shows, because they calculate it based on the average values from the last few  packages.
Your miner shows the real speed.

But if you still want it, I can include that functionality in the new version of MinerKeeper.

Actually I think you have that turned around, as the hashrate the pool shows, or more accurately the share rate (which the pools derives a hashrate estimate from) is what you are being paid for. I do not care what your console displays, if the pool thinks you are only submitting x shares per hour then that's what they are paying you for.

Again, the pool's displayed hashrate is simply doing a reverse calculation on your actual submitted (valid) shares and just ball-parking what an estimated hashrate would need to be to generate that many shares per hour based upon the current network difficulty. So even if this is off a little the important point is the number of valid shares you submit to the pool over a period of time, such as over an hour. So regardless of what the miner console displays it still comes down to what the pool received and that is what your payout calculations are based on.
