EWBF's CUDA Zcash miner

[Acrefawn]

Hello guys (again)!
Want to remind to all of you, that if somebody has any problems with stability of EWBF, DSTM, CLAYMORE miners or needs some extra control over your rigs please read carefully my message below.

I want to introduce to you a script, which can solve most of your problems. It is a result of half a year hard work with my beta testers. Now it is clean of any bugs and ready to be introduced for the wide mining community.

1) https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=2071108.0
2) https://forum.z.cash/t/cmd-equihash-miner-autorun-autorestart-watchdog-for-ewbf-claymore-dstm/20640

It will definetely reduce your valuable time spent near your rigs, because this script will do all the work for you. Just start it and forget about your rigs, relax or do anything else. In case of any problem this script will restart your miner, or the rig, if necessary. It will notify you by Telegramm message about all problems and corrective actions taken. It is open source code (CMD/BAT, not an .exe or something like this), so anyone can check throug the code if needed.
Enjoy your life, let the script to monitor your rigs for you.

Hi,
I have 24 Nvidia 1070 cards and one of these cards gives me 0 sol in every Equihash algorithms.Also tested multiple drivers and windows 10 versions and my 2 year mining experience didn't help me either.This card works perfectly on every algorithms such as ethash (32 mhs on ethereum).Moreover, I disabled overclocking completely but still have this 0 sol issue.This rig that this gpu is on has 6gpus when I use (--cuda_devices 0 1 3 4 5) command all of my 5 gpus give around 450 hash but when remove this code in order to mine with 6 gpus, that specific gpu chooses solver 3 and makes all 6 cards 0 sol!!
please give me a solution
Peace

did you change the card from pci slot to see what happen ?

How can I disable fee at EWBF and is there any drop in hasrate? i'v been seen some invalid shares with dstm's miner...

[bigjee]

Has EWBF been on here at all? It's a great miner but it needs an auto-restart function. I think his competition is still actively working on their miner. If he doesn't do some improvements, I think he'll start losing money.

There is an auto start already.

Quick power supply question.. Should I run with econ on?.. or off?  Its a 1300W gold powering 6 1070's.
thx

I think you do not need to turn eco mode on. 1300W is too enough for 6x1070 already. I'm using 1250W to power 6x1070 as well, and I usually run it with about 80% power limit.

Thanks   Only asking because I had 3 cards running into one SATA and it looked like it melted the connection,.. thus stopping 3 of my cards.  Had to use another cable.

Anyone have issues with their miner dropping to 0 sol's on each of their cards?  I'm using 4x1070's and 2x1080's with driver 388.0 on Flypool.  Another friend is using 4x1080ti's with 388 as well and also on Flypool.

Usually if the miner crashes I can see it restart but when it does the 0 sol's thing it never restarts.  I was hoping there was a newer version of EWBF but unfortunately there isn't.

 Generally a hardware or driver issue, where the miner TRIED to restart several times and eventually gave up.



 "ECO mode" on the EVGA G2 1300 (and other EVGA models with that switch and the Seasonic variant on the same theme) doesn't really matter either way, the only thing it does it to allow the fan to power completely off if the PS is cool enough and in a mining rig the PS isn't going to be cool enough for very long even at startup.

 I prefer to leave it OFF as a troubleshooting measure.

 You are TELLING EBWF to ignore device 2 with your command line, and removing it entirely disables ALL the devices IIRC.

Three risers on one sata cable is the reason i have 3 melted sata ports. You think i would have learned after the first, or even the second! nope. On the third one i said to myself, "maybe 3 risers are too much for a sata cable". Turns out that those risers pull 60W between the three of them. 12v 5A.

The PCI-E bus specification allows for 75 watts draw - that's over 6 amps at 12 VDC PER RISER- and some cards are known to exceed that specification on short peaks at times.

 It also exceeds the 4.5 amp RATING for the actual SATA power connector.

 Using SATA on a powered riser at all is asking for trouble.

I just switched my cables from power supply,.. so its just 1 cable powering 2 cards each.  (So now it's 3 cables to the 6 1070's separated)   all seems very cool now. 
Not sure if this was 'actually' the issue though,.. I downloaded MSI Afterburner from a site that didn't match the actual 'site's' download file size.   works now.  Could be either issue.
Thanks guys.

How do I get the average sols/s and/or wattage to display every so often so I can track efficiency? Is this something I do in the .bat file if so could someone tell me how?

Thanks!

How about reading the first page of this topic...

Code:

Version 0.3.3b
Added option --pec power efficiency calculator.
Added option --fee developer fee control.
Use miner --help command for more information.

 

[flip4flop]

how about you....thanks

Version 0.3.4b.

EWBF's Zcash cuda miner.
Expected speeds 444 sols/s gtx1070. Stock settings.

How? Stock Asus 1070 Strix OC i'm getting 400.. :/

the expected hashrate is not true you need around 600 on mclock and 100 on cclock to get that hashrate if you want to gain better hashrate try zm miner i get around 480-490 on my asus 1070s.

[QuintLeo]

Depends on the 1070 - I get 400 at about 102 watts TDP on my EVGA SC and Gigabyte ITX model 1070s (bit under 70% TDP for those models), none of which run AT ALL at +600 on memory clock (they CRASH in no time flat if they run at all) but do use +100 core +100 memory.

 Stock at stock TDP, most 1070 models should easily get to 430 sol/s and the higher-power ones (Gigabite Windforce and Gaming models, EVGA FTW, and OMG that crazy MSI Gaming model with the 240 watt default TDP. among others I've NOT personally used) should get somewhat more.

 DSTM for me is a mixed bag - a little faster at some settings, usually SAME or SLOWER at most "high efficiency settings", while eating more FEE % than EBWF can be set for.

 "Fixed 2%" fee is a RIPOFF when there are other miner programs with VERY similar capability, and IMO it's a ripoff in general.

i have my first 4x 1070's   
so i put +80 on gpu and + 100 on memory power limit 95%

GPU0: 422 Sol/s GPU1: 414 Sol/s GPU2: 410 Sol/s GPU3: 364 Sol/s   why is the last so slow ?
i have so display connected to the computer

If I understand well, you've connected one gpu to your display? You've reason there. When I mined LBRY few months ago I had that situation. I had approx. 360-370 Mh/s. After connecting my display to iGPU it raised to almost 400Mh/s. It all depends on algorithm that you use, but display steals a bit of graphics card performance.
