EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[wstealth]

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.

I completely agree with you, but I meant that the hashrate which you can see on the pool is not stable (at least for me) because it is an average value of some short period of time, for example sometimes I could have 1900 and in 5 min later - 3000 for my rig. But in the average for a long period of time (let's say 2-4 weeks) it is showing more or less the same as I have in miner - 2600.

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

https://imgur.com/a/lXujf

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

I have a rig with 2 evga geforce gtx 1080 ti ftw3 and 1 geforce gtx 1070 g1 rev 1 and I am getting at least  760 for each 1080 and 466 for the 1070, I am working with this parameters in the bat file: miner --server zec-eu1.nanopool.org --user wallet --pass z --port 6666 --solver 0, OC parameters, in the gpu 0(1080ti) :60 gpu 500 mem, in gpu 1(1080ti): 85 gpu 500 men, in gpu 2(1070): 99 gpu 600 men.... No other modification...  In th gpu 0 I cant set higher that 60 because when the value is higher this gpu doesnt work correct and get less than 250 sols. I hope it helps

[wstealth]

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.

Andrew

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.

As I promised, I released a new version of MinerKeeper.
You can easily configure it to restart the miner every X hours.
You can download it here.
The documentation is here.

[wstealth]

I put the \\ in the command ..

Sorry for that, but I finally understood what is the problem.
It is in apiUrl. It should be - "http://192.168.1.10:42000/getstat".
 '/getstat' is important now. I will fix it in a new version.

Thank you for pointing me on that.
The fix is on the way.

[QuintLeo]

After a bit of playing with it yesterday, my Aorus 1080ti is now pushing 780-790 sols/s with Afterburner set to Core +150, Memory +100 (which proved to be VERY picky, higher DROPPED hashrate for some reason as did lower), and TDP at 100% (250 watts).

 Dropping TDP to 80% (200 watts) and no other changes still netted well over 700.


 If I'm doing other stuff on the machine, it drops to 160-170 watts (per Nvidia-SMI or per EWBF itself) and 640 sol/s more or less.

[lowcc]

Hi All,

I recently mine ZCash with 6x 1070, I only get 420 sol per GPU.
I use EWBF miner and flypool.

I saw people are getting 440 sol at least, how would it be possible?

My current setting:
Power: 80%
Clock: +150
Memory: +300 (seems no impact for memory, I tried +700 also no increment on sol rate).
I am running at Windows 10 with latest NVIDIA driver.

Note: I was getting 31mh/s at ETH.
 
Any recommended step to fix? Like change driver to certain version?

Thanks in advance!

Are you all using Zcash4win to transfer money?  I just need to see, and understand how this sends actual money to an account.. And what account it goes to?
Thanks in advance!  jpl

Hi, I have short question.
My farm on Win10x64 of 1070x5 freezes when I use Zcash miner 0.3.4b. I tried even without overclocking.
It is either the whole system hangs or Miner gives respond that GPU stopped.

Before I used Clymore 10 for Etherium with overclocking and no such thing happened. 

Maybe someone already met this trouble and know what to do?

You can try to use your gpus one by one to see maybe it is only a specific gpu the reason of the problem

Sounds like too much OC, only 100W on a 1070 isn't giving much voltage to the core. I would try +50 core and see if it runs better.

im getting a max of 720 sol/s per card on a strix 1080 ti oc

power: 80%
gpu: +105 (for some reason i can't go past this)

temps stable at 54-57 degC

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

Me too, I get about the same hashrate as you did (690) without oc for my two 1080ti.

ZERO is fork of Zcash (Zcash is fork of Bitcoin). It has security of Bitcoin, privacy of Zcash and few other improvements. ZERO includes the best privacy and anonymity technology available today.

Goal of this fork is:
test completely different set of equihash parameters in the wild, chosen parameters: N=192, K=7
these parameters should target generally available hardware for mining
learn from it

All these parameters are improved by this change:
higher time complexity
about 16 times*
higher memory requirements
about 16 times*
faster block verifications
4x
smaller solutions
400 bytes instead of 1344 bytes are inserted in every block

How were these parameters chosen:
abandoning idea of mining on mobile devices
making it hard enought to postpone the risk of ASICs
memory requirements target regular desktop PCs and graphic cards with at least 8GB of RAM

Coin distribution changes:
no founders reward
no premine
no slow start
no halvening
stable supply of coins
minimizing violent mining strategies
removes stressful event that heavily impacts miners and market price
no coin cap
small inflation (smaller and smaller over time)
lowers the early adopter advantage
steady reward for miners can result in lower fees in future
at least some compensation for forever lost coins
1 block per 2 minutes on average
10 coins per block

Distribution:
7200 coins/day (the same rate as BTC and Zcash before the first halvening)
after 1 year:     2 631 600
after 10 years: 26 316 000
after 20 years: 52 632 000
after 30 years: 78 948 000
