There is indeed a bug regarding shares! Will be fixed in next release.

There is indeed a bug regarding shares! Will be fixed in next release.

Is there any reason why PascalCoin causes a lot of extra heat?

Only reason I can think of is if the script directs its power draw to a specific section of the card that is closer to the temperature sensor.

Closest example of different temp readings on the same TDP I ever saw mining would be running a memory and core dependent coin like ZEC with one power target, and than mining a core dependent script like LBC or DCR with a memory underclock where less power is going to the VRAM and a slightly higher core voltage is hit in the same TDP. Not the case with PascalCoin vs ZEC. Everything is the same except the temps really shoot up

I remember when ZEC mining was new and NiceHash brought out one of the early ZEC miners, the card would pull less than the minimum power limit but was hitting a higher core clock than actually possible with full power. So I really do not know if it is a temperature misread or if there is something actually stressing the card out

If anyone can catch the bug (using -f 0 for full file logging), would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Here it is, this issue should be fixed + few percent more speed: https://www.nicehash.com/tools/excavator_v1.0.0b_Win64.zip

Doesn#t work anymore on suprnova or nanopool.
It started and then GPU load drops to 0..thats it.

[NiceHashSupport]

Run with -f 0 and paste here what log file says.

[Kompik]

Device 0: Hasher interrupted.

This error is normal?

This is not an error but rather information that CUDA feeding loop has been interrupted (but will be be restarted back on of course).

Ok so it is ok even though it is repeating all the time?

Yes, if you don't use debug printing, it is not visible.

Is the extra heat output something that will be worked on later? I am assuming the fixed issue is the shares problem

[NiceHashSupport]

The algorithm is basically SHA256 thus GPU can be fully utilized with no waiting for memory (such as with equihash). There is trully 100% extreme load. If you want lower heat, limit your TDP or play with -ct and -cb parameters. You cannot compare pascal algorithm to equihash, pascal is more similar to blake algorithms (such as decred).

Can it do solo mining ?

What's your bat looks like please?

[samuraijin]

i found here for information from yesterday I was thinking to mine pascalcoin and using NVidia, I'll try to test my hashrate

[m1n1ngP4d4w4n]

Pretty nice job guys, the miner work flawlessly.

[giagge]

Write the correct .bat for suprnova and gtx 1070 pls .
