EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[GustETH]

I'm sure its been asked but since its impossible to search forum, I should ask again

Can any one explain to me how the fee option works in 3.4 ?
If I set "--fee 1" does the 2% included will be reduced to 1 or it will be 2+1 ?

 It should reduce the fee to 1

as far as i can tell there is a default 2% fee, using command --fee 0 removes the fee system all together making it 0% fee...

but reduces the sold / s speed if the fee is turned off?

It really reduce hash rate ?

I'm struggling with monitoring system,
Like claymore has dedicated monitoring soft were you can group all the miners and monitor with one web or software instance, is there any solution for EWBF? I have couple 8x1080 rigs and all running ZEC, just wanted to group them and see the monitoring stats on one page, is it possible?

anyone? any ideas?

Nope, it doesn't.



Could someone please test 1070Ti with maximum Power Limit, +650 on memory and about +165 on core? Wanna know what's the maximum hashrate can be expected from that GPU.


Thank you!

5x 1080 rig, trying to mine BitcoinZ. Power target@80%, core +110, mem +800. Forced P0 state.

One of my GPUs is gradually losing speed using EWBF.
I've been mining other algos for days without interruption but as I tried to switch to mining equihash with EWBF this crap starts happening. Hashrate goes down, lower and lower until it crashes the rig. Any ideas what might cause it?

Do you guys know whether this could be either Cuda9 or driver related? It just makes no sense to me...

That's really interesting. I have had this issue for a while now. I have 2 Z97 Extreme 4 boards mining some Zencash. The first one had six GTX1060 and the 2nd one had six GTX1080tis. Both run windows 10, but the miner with my GTX1060s stopped working with 6 cards randomly. It does exactly what you explained. It works with 5 perfectly (even though it used to work with 6 for about 3 months) but once you install the 6th it slowly drops and eventually crashes the system. I have tested all the cards and they all work perfectly individually. I'm starting to think it might be a windows corruption issue of some sort. Would be cool if anyone has found a way to fix this issue.

You can use Claymore's Dual Miner Monitor for mobile to do that. It works perfectly for Claymore, EWBF and Optiminer

 Already done in my testing post, though that was at 100% TDP +700 Memory +200 core - right around 540 hash.
 90% TDP gave pretty much identical result though.

Well, 100% TDP - is not the maximum Can you try 110/115/120%? I don't know about its maximum TDP.

I can confirm that too, I have strange behavior with one 1070 which works like in half power
other coins seems do not have such issue with that card, it is working on full speed and without issues.
bit when it working on ewbf it srats to do act like that and I do not remember it was acting like this before?

Glad I'm not the only one.
For everyone's benefit, I switched to DSTM's miner, and I am glad to report the slowdown/crashing issue does not happen with that miner, and hashrates are very similar to EWBF's.

So people, just do the switcharoo.

Hello everyone, I have a question, I run the miner with api, immediately it works as it should, but after a while, just the ip address is unavailable. But the miner himself continues to work as before. What could be the problem?

[Atexor]

I hope that new version of EWBF's miner will receive functionality to not close if there is to connection to any pool - for instance the case, when there is no ethernet connection. It would attempts to connect infinity times until it will be successful.

Sometimes there are cases when ethernet provider has problems with ethernet and then miner disables itself.
Addind/removing and changing exit parameter doesn' work for me as I want.

[BlockMedx]

Has anybody else been getting the BSOD error once you launch the miner?  Been having serious problems getting my rig to be stable.  It BSOD's after about 3 seconds

You have overclocked too much. Lower the clock setting and you should be fine

what clock: core clock or mem clock?
device 4 is a Asus Strix GTX1070 non oc version (STRIX-GTX1070-8G-GAMING)

What new version ?
the developer has not been active for quite some time

Is EWBF compiled for 32bit or 64bit?  It says it is running on C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe  Obviously that is 32bit  does it matter?  (I'm on win10 64 bit)
thanks

Downclock both and test it, if it runs 8 hours straight with no crash then it should be stable. My 1070s run on very low clocks and tdp to achieve maximum efficiency. 67% tdp, +99core +249mem

Its a x64 bit application what your looking at is windows command prompt and not related directly to ewbf miner
